As expected, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service has provided some guidance on the U.S. tax treatment of Bitcoin.
In Notice 2014-21 (March 25, 2014), the IRS stated that Bitcoin is property and not currency for tax purposes. According to the Notice, "general tax principles applicable to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency." Some of the U.S. tax implications of Bitcoin include the following: (1) taxpayers receiving Bitcoins as payment for goods or services must include in their gross income the fair market value of the Bitcoins; (2) taxpayers will have a gain or loss upon the exchange of Bitcoins for other property; and (3) taxpayers who "mine" Bitcoins must include the fair market value of the Bitcoins in their gross incomes. The IRS also confirmed in its statement that employment wages paid in Bitcoins are taxable.
This guidance from the IRS accords with the positions taken by tax authorities in other jurisdictions.
Commentators have considered the tax implications of Bitcoin in Canada both before and after the CRA released its most recent guidance in CRA Document No. 2013-0514701I7 "Bitcoins" (December 23, 2013).
The Canadian government has taken the position that Bitcoin is not legal tender. The Canada Revenue Agency has stated that, when addressing the Canadian tax treatment of Bitcoin, taxpayers must look to the rules surrounding barter transactions and must consider whether income or capital treatment arises on Bitcoin trading (i.e., speculating on the changes in the value of Bitcoins).
While Bitcoin currency exchanges encounter uncertainty (or fail entirely), and Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate, the global tax implications of Bitcoin are becoming clearer.
DISCLAIMER: Because of the generality of this update, the information provided herein may not be applicable in all situations and should not be acted upon without specific legal advice based on particular situations.

Overclocking/Undervolting Updated:::
Once I got all the apps removed from my Stratosphere I started playing around with undervolting the processor (RHCP's kernel) to help the battery life and charge times a little and have ended up with these final settings. I will update as I lower voltages more but not before I test the settings a little to make sure they are stable. I did test all overclocking frequencies up to the maximum voltage allowance. I used SetCPU for this but another cpu app may work to set these settings.
In order to overlock the Stratosphere you need:
1.)root access - follow this root guide. [KERNEL] [GUIDE] Root Your Stratosphere! :-)
2.)RHCP's kernel found here [ Dev Project ] Verizon Samsung Stratosphere Custom Kernel | Welcome to my Personal Site and Blog - And can be flashed to the phone the same as the root kernel once u extract the zImage file from the ZIP archive in the binary link.
3.) SetCPU for android - found on marketplace
Once you have root access on RHCP's kernel with SetCPU installed you can use SetCPU to modify the clock speed and voltage of the processor. I spent about 8 hours finding all the minimum stable voltage settings for each clock speed and these are my results. I would suggest you use cwm recovery and do a nandroid backup before modifying any voltage settings.
I couldn't find any data sheets on the Samsung S5PC111 (hummingbird) power usage that would be helpful so I tested and tested and tested. The result was a stable 1.6Ghz maximum setting. Yes, I did say 1.6Ghz on the Samsung Stratosphere.
Frequency.|.Stock V..|.% Saved...|..My Volt..|..Setting
As you can see the memory benchmark drops off at 1600Mhz. I ran Quadrant 3 times at 1600Mhz and each time the memory score was lower than any run at 1500Mhz. I think this may have to do with all the built in chipset controllers and such on the S5PC111 (hummingbird) processor. These settings may work for other phones with the Hummingbird processor too but I don't have any other devices to test them on. I would recommend anyone that uses any overclock over 1200mhz to use profiles in SetCPU to lower the frequency when charging or the phone starts to get hot while overclocked and charging. Best of luck with you Stratosphere. -

Re: Underclocking/Undervolting Updated:::
I Still have apps. I basicly removed everything except browser and gallery that start up at boot and I didn't want. I Installed all my apps from my Droid 2 onto this phone after backing them up to the sd card then putting it in this phone. I then used market to update them and then removed market. As for google maps I can go to maps.google.com and load up any map and it will pull my location from my phone through the browser. I don't need a bunch of apps that start up randomly every 5 mins to half hour after I close them. I don't need google maps open half the day while my phone is in my pocket because it decided to open itself. I think the app management in froyo and gingerbread (the two distro's of android I've had) sucks. I hope ICS is better but I haven't played with it for more than maybe 5 mins on a friends zoom tablet. I use my phone as a phone, camera, wifi hotspot, flash drive, and occasionally to ftp something with file explorer or stream a movie with my media server. I don't need fagbook or slacker constantly on when I'm not using them, but yet without them I can still listen to my media collection anytime I want and actually close the app and not have it reopen itself. Oh, and guess what, my battery lasts a good day and a half with light use. Compared to maybe 10 hrs if I was lucky the way it came from verizon. My Phone is still fully functional it just boots quicker and runs smoother and cooler than yours. I'm actually thinking about installing a custom linux to my phone with xfce desktop and seeing if I can't get the chipsets to work. First I have to figure out the bootloader however, which noone seems to be able to help me with.
Edit: I still have calculator, calendar, camera, gallery, memo, advanced task killer, browser, root explorer, setcpu, quadrant, my files, wifi tether, file explorer, voice recorder, music player, video player, backup assistant, superuser, android mediaserver, and xtralogic remote desktop. A lot of times I have problems updating apps when new ones come out if they are the full version I bought (depends on the developer for if they will work with me on getting a new apk) sometimes I might have to reinstall market to update an app. I'm not sure but I might still be able to push a purchased app to my phone with google play store online too. I'm not sure with having removed it but com.android.vendor is still working. - 03-20-2012, 05:33 PM #5

Re: Overclocking/Undervolting Updated:::
Your right I had it set at 170. I think I moved them all like 20mV above those settings because they were the lowest stable settings and I wanted to be safe. For a different chipset and to be safe I would use these settings.
And if you set the governor to 'conservative' it will slowly increase and decrease the processor speed so it doesn't go straight to 1200Mhz every time you touch then screen, and instead goes slower from 100mhz to 200 400 and climbs as high as it needs but doesn't always max out. I actually have my profile set between 100mhz and 800mhz with apps removed and those settings above and have about 2 days battery life if I keep the wifi off and keep use to a minimum. I find it charges far quicker also. When I got it I couldn't charge it by usb if I was talking on it or something cause it actually used more than the charger could provide. Now it charges over usb even when being used. - 05-03-2012, 12:39 PM #8

Jupiter, Issue 27, January 2010 | |||||
A review by Rich Horton
Jupiter's issue XXVII is subtitled Praxidike. I only mention that because I'm always delighted
to be introduced to another moon of Jupiter. My consistent theme in these reviews is the generally "old-fashioned"
feel of this magazine, which I think continues here, perhaps even could be emphasized.
For example, "Unlikely Messiah," by W.T. Mitchell, notable first for being one of the longest stories, perhaps
the longest, Jupiter has ever published. (Let me note first that I am all for this
magazine -- or any! -- publishing more stories of greater length, while issuing a caveat that this particular story
probably would have benefited by being cut.) The setup is very familiar -- a spaceship has crashlanded on an
alien planet. The survivor is saved by the supposedly primitive natives. The kicker is that the natives look
like werewolves (or "Werwulfs", as spelled here). This leads to a sort of biological mystery, that is resolved
in OK fashion. As I hinted, it might have worked better overall if shorter -- the mystery at the heart of
things just doesn't support a novelette of this size.
Huw Langridge offers "The Voidant Lance," one of a series of stories he's written about a shadowy organization
called Axiom Few. In this piece the hero, Archer, along with his fellows at Axiom Few, must defend Earth
against an attack from space. It's decent enough work, but nothing spectacular. Lee Russell's "Swimming
in the FastWarm Current" is rather nice, if again fairly conventional. The hero, Spinner, is a dolphin-like
creature, placed in opposition to an older male who insists they need to stay out of the title current. But
Spinner falls under the spell of a mysterious older creature, and in the end realizes a rather different
destiny. The revealed history is enjoyable. Similar, in some ways, is "Bone Song," by Garrett Fincham,
probably my favorite story this issue. Much as with Russell's story, the hero is an iconoclastic young
male, in love with a potentially similarly iconoclastic young female. This hero, Wember, is part of a
society on another planet that for generations has been building chambers for colonization by others
of their species. But these colonists have not appeared. Wember rebels against the leader of this
effort, and is rewarded by banishment. But in his banishment he learns his real destiny. What I particularly
liked here was the revelation of the real nature of Wember's species -- something nicely unexpected.
Jupiter remains a consistent little magazine. A good source of generally old-fashioned science
fiction, and a good place to see writers at the beginning of their careers. The stories aren't always as
well-written as I could prefer -- but that's what you expect with such new writers. These aren't potential
award nominees just yet, but they are doing entertaining work and may improve to really excite us.

However, a complete understanding of what occurs at the contacting asperities does not yet exist.
The other effect seen in all friction experiments is an initial increase in the resistance to sliding that occurs when the velocity of sliding is abruptly increased (Fig. 1). This is termed the direct effect because the change of resistance occurs instantaneously and in the same sense as the change in velocity.
Stability of sliding. The absolute value of frictional resistance is unimportant for controlling the stability of sliding. However, the time, velocity, and displacement dependence of friction interact with the elastic stiffness of the surroundings to produce either stable or unstable sliding. The stability has been analyzed by using the constitutive laws described in the following section (14, 16, 17, 19–24).
The stability of sliding is ultimately controlled by an interaction between the stiffness of the loading system and the dependence of frictional resistance on displacement. In systems for which the frictional behavior is as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, the dependence of frictional resistance on displacement is itself a function of how friction depends on velocity (15, pp. 566–569). If the frictional resistance decreases with increasing velocity, a behavior termed velocity weakening, then unstable sliding is possible. This unstable sliding generally is not possible for a velocity strengthening material, one in which the resistance increases with slip speed. This generality must be modified if the resistance does not show a monotonic change after the direct peak (26).
Predictability of unstable sliding. The onset of an unstable sliding event in the laboratory is typically preceded by some nonlinearity in the loading curve and by accelerating slip. Whether this is a universal feature of all laboratory experiments is not known, since detecting this behavior may require high precision measurement of the stress and perhaps measurement of the displacement using a transducer mounted
inside the pressure vessel immediately adjacent to the sample. In Fig. 3 is shown a typical sequence of stick slip events measured with internal stress and displacement transducers in our rotary shear apparatus (26). At first glance (Fig. 3A), the events look as if they occur without warning, but successively closer examinations (Fig. 3 B-D) show that there is accelerating slip and an associated nonlinearity in the stress-time curve that foretells each unstable event. There is no reason to believe that this precursory accelerating slip should not occur in the earth. The real question is whether it will be large enough to be usefully detected and so provide the basis for a short-term earthquake prediction. In order to answer this we need to learn how to extrapolate the laboratory results to the earth. The constitutive laws discussed in a following section form the present basis for doing this.
Constitutive Laws. Empirical constitutive laws have been used by many workers to fit the frictional behavior described (e.g., refs. 13, 17, 26–38). Although a variety of functions have been presented, two laws are most commonly used, and even these can be cast in slightly different ways. The form used in ref. 13 is convenient because the state variable has dimensions of time in both laws. Both laws represent friction as a function of velocity and a state variable by the same equation:
μ=μ0+a ln(V/V0)+b ln(θV0/Dc). [1a]
The direct effect is contained in the term a ln(V/V*) and the evolution effect in the term b ln(θDc/V*). The nature of the evolution is what differs in the two laws. In the law termed the slip law, because slip is required for evolution, the state variable evolves according to:
dθ/dt=(θV/Dc) ln(θV/Dc). [1b]
In the law termed the slowness law, because the evolution depends on the slowness (inverse of velocity) or on time, the evolution is given by:
dθ/dt=1−θV/Dc. [1c]
Neither of these two commonly used laws fits all aspects of experiments data (39), and a better law is needed. Both laws do a reasonable job of fitting data until one looks carefully at the details. If the processes that cause the observed behavior can be understood, then the correct form of this law may be found, and we can have more confidence in extrapolating its behavior outside the range of existing laboratory data.
Lack of Data and Constitutive Laws for Dynamic Slip Under Realistic Conditions. No laboratory experiments combine the large displacement, high slip rate, high normal stress, and presence of pressurized pore fluids that characterize dynamic earthquake slip. Most experiments involving high slip velocity (e.g., refs. 40–42) have been done at low total displacement and low normal stress, without the presence of pore fluids. These failings mean that processes that may occur during dynamic slip in earthquakes have not been explored experimentally. Chief among these are shear heating and associated possible melting or increase in pore fluid pressures. Some experiments at low normal stress at relatively high velocity and large total displacement have produced shear melting (43–45). Experiments on foam rubber suggest the importance of reduction of normal stress during dynamic slip (46).
Thus, although we have considerable data that may be relevant to the accelerating slip that occurs prior to an earthquake, we have no experimental data that is really useful for characterizing the velocity or displacement dependence of frictional resistance that might cause self-healing slip pulses (47–49), the lack of a heat flow anomaly in area of faults that typically slip in seismic events (50–52), or other evidence for the absolute and relative weakness of major faults (53–55).

Tamblyn Unveils Poetic Side in 'Stallion' |
(Posted September 29, 2005 by Leah Yoakum) Since CBS cancelled "Joan of Arcadia," Amber Tamblyn has been trying her hand at poetry. "People hear that word and they cringe," the actress told AP Radio. "They just assume that you're going to write something about daffodils or dancing in the sunlight."
Tamblyn said the poems in her new book, "Free Stallion," are different than the ones you had to read in school. "It's like slam poetry, which is intense. It's got a certain cadence to it," she said. "For some reason, with slam poetry, you can relate more to the audience. You're talking to an audience, but you're also performing a piece." For Tamblyn, reading her poetry aloud is more personal than acting in front of a camera.
"It's really nerve-wracking because ... acting is only 50 percent yours," she said. "You're taking someone else's material and creating something new out of it. When you write poetry, that's all you."
"Free Stallion" is in stores now. |

So here we go.
First off, I want to say thank you to the community, the overwhelming amount of support really helped me to keep a positive attitude through this whole ordeal. Earlier this morning, I got a call from an old friend of mine that just so happened to lose a roommate.
Now I'm sitting comfortably back in an apartment, with my music setup all ready to go.
You guys have been so absolutely wonderful and so supportive.
As thanks, I'm going to go ahead and upload this song. It was going to be released with the upcoming album, but I really wanted you guys to have it.
I've put more work into this song than any other song I've done so far. I hope you guys enjoy it.
There is a story that goes with this one, but I'll save that for another time. If you'd like the brief outline, send me a PM and I'll tell it to you. Otherwise, let your imaginations run wild :D
Thanks again guys, and I hope you enjoy this! :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Amazing work. It's not overly done and everythings amazing. I especially liked the beginning part with the downplayed drums and then the explosion into a frenzy of feeling and action. It's tension rings out before the pause and combustion of noise and feeling. It's pure and heartfelt.
Thank you. I really appreciate the genuine review! :D <3
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This was incredible. The start just pulls you in, and you have to almost strain to listen to it, then suddenly you can hear it, the music that would play as someone begins to tell a tale of the past. It leads up into the power and beat, and then slowly comes crashing to the close. You weren't kidding, it's a song for a story.
The music blends perfectly, and every second of the song draws you in further, making you want to hear the next. Incredibly impressive.
I was expecting great things from the intro, and I was not disappointed. Bravo.
wonderful review. It's very "reviewEsque" like something i would read on the back of a book. Thank you ! :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This has got to be the longest song you have written that I know of. The strings are perfect especialy before the hard beats at 5:40 its calming then it just breaks out like someones mind after realizing whats happened and then explodes. Amazing song. havnt been on newgrounds in a while and just read the comments and im sorry. But this is amazing. You truly are an amzing writer. I have really enjoyed this song.
Thank you so much snowmane. Don't worry though, things are well now :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Another story T.T
As sky becomes ground,
and ground becomes darkness.
There is a light.
A light at the end of a tunnel,
a faint candle in a dark room.
You reach toward it,
Just out of reach.
Walking... Running...
Running towards the flame.
As you reach it, it is suddenly extinguished.
No... Noo... NOOOO!!!!!
You scream,
alone in the darkness.
You feel a chill,
not a feeling of cold,
but a sense of evil.
You see a shadow.
Out of the darkness?
No... It can't be!
The black wizard.
Again. Damn.
"I thought we left him in that forest..."
what forest?
Nothing matters now.
Only you and him,
forever foes.
Light against dark.
You stare at him.
He stares back.
A cold, evil stare.
The chills again.
As reason fades,
and awareness to your surroundings becomes ever more distant,
One thing comes to mind.
You leap for him,
pass through him.
What the hell?
This is gona be a lot harder, you think.
As the fire springs from your fingers, and he leaps nimbly out of the way,
you are amazed, if not shocked, at his abilities.
There is but one option.
But, no, that will destroy you and the fabric of reality.
What reality?
What you?
You does not exist anymore.
Just the spell.
As you are torn apart,
the last thing you see is him dissipating into a fine mist.
Screaming in terror, agony, and anger.
You smile, out of happiness and satisfaction,
the last thing you remember.
All becomes black, again.
But this time you see another light.
You reach toward it, but where is your arm?
Where is your body?
You are now an empty soul,
wandering about.
But this place is better...
It's different.
Let's go.
That was probably my longest poem ever written for a review >,<
plz pm me the real one so i know why everyone else is making fun of me :D
Nice crazy drums, but to be honest with you, i think AloysiusRexford owns on that one.
Gratz on #1!!!
thank you for this wonderful review <3
and as far as the drums go :P
I completely respect and enjoy aloysiusRexford's music :) 2 very different styles though my friend :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This song is COLD!
I think that's a compliment, so thank you so much :D

The IMP's System Bands and Ensembles2015 Bands and Ensembles have been filled. The staff of the IMP voluntarily administer and direct four after-hours concert bands. All four of these bands are self funding and operate almost entirely on members' contributions. They do receive some assistance from the IMP in the form of loans of bigger instruments to members and access to the resources of the IMP such as the print music library and rehearsal space. Almost all of the equipment of the system bands - such as music stands, stand banners, percussion, etc - has been purchased with funds earned by the bands themselves. None of the system bands are "community bands" in the sense that they are open to members of the public. They each have a particular reason for their existence, and the membership is selected by audition of students from ACT Department of Education schools only. Further information about each of the bands, including the audition process, and where applicable, the audition application forms and rubrics can be found on the individual band pages The Primary Concert Bands will be filled by audition during IMP classes in week 9, Term 4 and commence rehearsals in term 1. Applications will be issued by IMP teachers during class time. These bands are only open to Yr 6 students in the IMP class on the instrument they study in that class. The bands rehearse each Monday or Thursday at the IMP offices - Kaleen High School, Baldwin Drive, Kaleen from 6.30 - 8.00pm. Positions in the Junior and Senior Concert Bands are filled by audition in term 4 for the following year. Applications for JCB & SCB are advertised through schools and this website from early September with auditions in November . There are three additional ensembles in the IMP extension groups - Flute Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble (years 7-12 in ACT public schools) and Primary Concert Choir (PCC) for Yr 4-6 students. See home page for IMP calendar. Here is a medical form for IMP excursions if you need another one. |

Why did you choose this product?
I'm enjoying my green Cherry Blossom 6-piece Duvet Cover Set with the comforter insert included. I love the cherry blossom motif, and the fact that it is a fairly pleasant green...not too light, not too dark, is great, too. Only complaint is that the duvet cover has a white thread or a snagged thread that causes about a 2 inch long thin strip of white right smack in the middle of the bed cover. Obviously a "second." But with pets and the difficulty of finding attractive green comforters, I can put up with it. What really disappoints me is that I had to pay the for 2 pillows that I have absolutely no use for in order to get the cover set. Matching pillows should be an option, not mandatory!! Having to get the shams is bad enough. Still, in all, it's a nice duvet cover. Oh...by the way...the comforter is very warm. Not recommended for warm season use unless your air conditioner is turned way down!

Duvet Cover Set A Nice Investment I'm enjoying my green Cherry Blossom 6-piece Duvet Cover Set with the comforter insert included. I love the cherry blossom motif, and the fact that it is a fairly pleasant green...not too light, not too dark, is great, too. Only complaint is that the duvet cover has a white thread or a snagged thread that causes about a 2 inch long thin strip of white right smack in the middle of the bed cover. Obviously a "second." But with pets and the difficulty of finding attractive green comforters, I can put up with it. What really disappoints me is that I had to pay the for 2 pillows that I have absolutely no use for in order to get the cover set. Matching pillows should be an option, not mandatory!! Having to get the shams is bad enough. Still, in all, it's a nice duvet cover. Oh...by the way...the comforter is very warm. Not recommended for warm season use unless your air conditioner is turned way down!

Color not as it appears I was a bit confused as to the real color of the Cherry Blossom Duvet in the brick color, so I emailed an inquiry to Overstock and the manufacturer. From previous comments on Overstock, I was not able to determine if the duvet cover was a warm red (tomato red) or a cool red (burgundy or garnet red). After all, bricks are colored both a terra cotta red (warm) or a cooler red. In the photo online, it appeared to be warm, but comments on Overstock led me to believe it was not. The reply from Overstock and the manufacturer claimed it was a warm red, so I ordered it. The top cover of the duvet is not a warm red, but rather a garnet or burgundy color (like a light-bodied red wine). The underside and pillows are a warm tomato red. While this duvet did not work for me, color wise, it was very nice. Quality wise, I would give it a good rating. Overstock's price is very good for this item.

Really happy with this purchase I bought the green one and other reviewers are correct, the color is not as bright as it appears in pictures, but that's ok. It's quite pretty and quite comfortable. I find the one black accent pillow to be ugly so I won't be using it but that's a style preference, there's certainly nothing wrong with it.

Deeper in color than photo... This is more of a deep red/maroon/burgundy in the light in my place. I had hoped it was a bright true red but it is more muted. Very nice duvet with insert already inside,nice weight but the shams are pretty basic, nothing special. You will need large standard pillows to fill out the shams. I am returning this set unfortunately - I was pretty excited and hopeful this was the right look for me but it's just not doing it for me and for the price, it needs to really ring my bell. :)

Color not as pictured; quality & style exquisite This duvet is exquisite but I am giving it a good rating, not excellent, because the color that is pictured on the website is not the true color. (This is not a problem with my monitor since the color picture on the packaging is exactly as the website but it is wrong as well.) The color HAZE in actuality has a green cast to it and is much darker in tone then pictured. I thought of order the red. But I called the manufacture and found out that BRICK is more like a wine red. And it would not work for me either. (The manufacturer explained that it was difficult to photograph this duvet accurately. The fabric has a high sheen and the reflecting light distorts the color.) Overstock was very good about returning my money. The manufacturer was very responsive and helpful. I am very disappointed that I had to return it. I did toy with the idea of starting all over in my bedroom. New paint., new rug... the duvet was that gorgeous. But sanity prevailed and I returned it.

Well worth the money I initially ordered the Haze but although I liked it in general it didn't compliment my bedroom walls and draperies. The haze is more like an olive green hue. So I sent it back and ordered the brick. I love it! I love it! I love it! The fabric is of high quality fabric and so is its construction. It sets my bedroom off just right.

Questions & Answers
I've been searching for a green comforter and this was the only one I could find that I liked. I don't need the shams and extra pillows, but the comforter alone is rarely an option unfortunately.
I am interested in the Brick color, but from reading the reviews, I am a little confused as to what color it really is. One person describes it as being a true brick, meaning a warm red, while another refers to it as burgundy, meaning the color of red wine. Can you tell me if it is a warm red or a cool dark red. Thank you.
Hello jane74, it is more of a warm red, especially considering the color of the reverse side which looks very warm red. Thank you for shopping with us..
Can I find those matching curtains too?
Hello kihran, I'm sorry I could not find that we have matching curtains that match this set. I think Black would go really well. Have a great day!
I noticed the duvet cover has buttons and the insert has buttonholes. Does this mean the duvet cover needs to be used with this insert, or can I use my own insert?
Thank you for your question jentender. Try both and see which one works best for your needs. Yes, the insert is for this duvet cover. Have a great day.
Does this duvet cover have ties in the corners to keep insert in place?
Thank you for your question l4n4k4y, Actually this is one of the great features. The duvet cover has buttons on the duvet cover and buttonholes on the insert, so the insert is held securely in place.
Is there any way to order 2 extra shams (pillow cases)? I like 4 pillows on my bed
Thank you for contacting us, unfortunately no. We apologize for any inconvenience we might have caused. Please let me know if you have any further question.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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 Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock™ <meta property="og:image" content="img/mxc/150401_rolex-watches-from-Overstock-FB.jpg" data-pin-nopin="true" /> <meta name="twitter:image:src" content="img/mxc/150401_rolex-watches-from-Overstock-TWIT.jpg" data-pin-nopin="true" /> FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches by Shawna Edwards Published April 28, 2010 | Updated April 29, 2015  Shop Pre-Owned Rolex Watches ▸ I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock™?Overstock™ is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment allows you to comfortably shop for wristwatches online. We offer a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want you to feel secure purchasing from us. We are one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every pre-owned Rolex watch sold by Overstock™ will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock™ in pristine, mint, and immaculate condition. This is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number, and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing. If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer): Men's Standard Bracelet Sizes Inside, including watch face while bracelet is closed Adult Small 5½" to 6½" Adult Average 6½" to 7½" Adult Large 7½" to 8½" Adult X-Large 8½" to 9½" Women's Standard Bracelet Sizes Inside, including watch face while bracelet is closed Adult Small 4½" to 5½" Adult Average 5½" to 6½" Adult Large 6½" to 7½" Adult X-Large 7½" to 8½" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) How does Overstock™ offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock™ has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections, we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA, we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock™ will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture. Overstock™ and our Rolex Vendors are not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex, USA Inc., and are not an authorized Rolex dealer. Third party One-Year Warranty.
