Reviewer: Dave Fish from Perrysburg, OH United States
MigraSpray works wonders for me! I have been using it for about 5 years now after having suffered from migraines for over 40 years. When I feel a migraine coming on, I spray the MigraSpray into my mouth and wait 10 minutes. Usually that takes care of the matter. Service here at EarthTurns is excellent!

Helped my 11 yr. old daughter
December 24, 2012
Reviewer: pdlr from Brownsville, Tx.
My little girl suffers from migraine headaches. In the last, say six months, she has suffered about 4 migraine headaches being very painful and with nausea and vomiting. I found out about MigraSpray from a book I own "The Encyclopedia Of Medical Breakthroughs & Forbidden Treatments". The last migraine headache she encountered, I applied the 5 sprays under the tongue, waited 30 sec. and repeated it again for the dose and in about 5 min. or so her pain was gone with no nausea or vomiting. I also explain to her we need to get off the sugary junk foods containing msg, high fructose corn syrup, aspertane etc.. thank you very much

great product and service
December 14, 2012
Reviewer: Deborah from Chantilly, VA United States
I have dealt with migraines for over thirty years. Anyone that takes any prescription for this knows that it is getting VERY costly. I now can only get half of what I was prescribed at more than twice the cost?! So I was forced to find an alternative. Read the reviews and figured it was worth a shot. Almost a year later and I will never be without. Have a bottle by my bed, desk and purse. No side effects like the medications. Has saved me a lot of discomfort and money.

I Love MigraSpray.
September 24, 2012
Reviewer: Julia Christie from Los Angeles, CA
I first tried MigraSpray for a tension headache when starting a new job. It was like the pain was just erased. Then as it says, used it for PMS headaches, also eased the pain. And even further with girl's night's out I've tried it for hangover headaches and OMG it totally worked! I had to dose several times then but it so was so worth it. What a wonderful natural medication. And I know it is not harmful in any way to my liver, heart or kidneys.

Ahsan Manzil
This article is written like a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts. (October 2014) |
Ahsan Manzil | |
Native name Bengali: আহসান মঞ্জিল Ahsan Monjil |
Front View of Ahsan Manzil
Built | 1859 - 1872 |
Architectural style(s) | Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture |
Visitors | More than 3 million (in 2003) |
Ahsan Manzil (Bengali: আহসান মঞ্জিল, Ahsan Monjil) was the official residential palace and seat of the Dhaka Nawab Family.[1] This magnificent building is situated at Kumartoli along the banks of the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The construction of this palace was started in 1859 and was completed in 1872.[1] It was constructed in the Indo-Saracenic Revival architecture. It has been designated as a national museum.
In Mughal era, there was a garden house of Sheikh Enayet Ullah, the landlord of Jamalpur porgona (district), in this place. Sheikh Enayet Ullah was a very charming person. He acquired a very big area in Kumortuli (Kumartuli) and included it in his garden house. Here he built a beautiful palace and named it "Rongmohol" (Rangmahal). He used to enjoy here keeping beautiful girls collecting from the country and abroad, dressing them with gorgeous dresses and expensive ornaments. There is a saying that, the foujdar of Dhaka (representative of mughal emperor) in that time was attracted to one of the beautiful girls among them. He invited Sheikh Enayet Ullah in a party one night and killed him in a conspiracy when he was returning home. That girl also committed suicide in anger and sorrow. There was a grave of Sheikh Enayet Ullah in the north-east corner of the palace yard which was ruined in the beginning of 20th century.
Probably in the period of Nawab Alibardi Khan around 1740 century, Sheikh Moti Ullah, the son of Sheikh Enayet Ullah, sold the property to the French traders. There was a French trading house beside this property. The trading house became wealthier after purchasing this property. In that time, French traders could do business here without paying any taxes by a decree from the emperor Awrangajeb.
In that time, the French became very wealthy by doing business here in competition with the English and other European companies. They made a big palace and dug a pond for sweet water in the newly purchased property. The pond still exists in the compound of Ahsan Manjil which was called "Les Jalla" in that time. In the English-French war, French got defeated and all their properties were captured by the English. In the 22nd June of 1757, the French left the trading house with a fleet of 35 boats from the river station of Buriganga in front of Kumartuli.
In 1785, the French transferred the property to a French tradesman named Mr. Champigni, and retaken it at 1801. According to Paris agreement of 1814, the French claimed all their left properties at Dhaka, and in 1827 the property was again returned to the French. For the increasing power of the English, the French was forced to left subcontinent. They decided to sell all their properties in Dhaka. So in 1830, the trading house of Kumartuli was purchased by the established landlord of Dhaka Khwaja Alimullah.
After some renovation work, the trading house became the residence of Khwaja Alimullah. In his time, a stable and a family mosque was added in the compound. After his death, his son Khwaja Abdul Gani made a great flourish to the property, and named it "Ahsan Manjil" on his son Ahsan Ullah. In the east side of the old building, he made a new building with a different design, and also done great renovation work to the old building. Since then, the old building was called "Ondor Mohol" and the new building was called "Rong mohol".
In the evening of 7 April 1888, a devastating tornado hit Dhaka city causing great damage. Ahsan Manjil was severely damaged and abandoned. An English engineer from Kolkata arrived here to examine the palace. He gave opinion that except the "Rangmahal", all other parts of the palace have to reconstruct. So Khwaja Abdul Gani and his son Ahsanullah turned their full attention to rebuild the palace. Both of the building was reconstructed during that time with a new design and supervised by the local engineer Gobinda Chandra Roy.
The old French building was reconstructed to a two storied building keeping similarity to the Rangmahal. A gangway was made with wood connecting the first floor of two building. The most beautiful thing made in this time was the dome, which made the palace so beautiful.
After the death of Khwaja Ahsanullah in 1901, the glory of Ahsan Manjil was ended. His successors couldn't continue the glory because of the internal family quarrel. They rented different parts of the palace to tenants, who actually made it a slum. In 1952, govt. acquired the property and left in supervision of the Dhaka Nawab court. In 1985, Dhaka National Museum acquired the property and made it a museum.
Description and construction[edit]
Ahsan Manzil is one of the most significant architectural monuments of Bangladesh. The building structure was established on a raised platform of 1 meter, the two-storied palace measures 125.4m by 28.75m. The height of the ground floor is 5 meters and the height of the first floor is 5.8 meters. The thickness of the walls of the palace is about 0.78 meters. There are porticos of 5 meters height on the northern and southern sides of the palace. The building has a broad front-facing the Buriganga River. On the river side, an open spacious stairway leads right up to the second portal and on their stands the grand triple- arched portals. There was once a fountain in the garden in front of the stairs which does not exist today. All along the north and the south side of the building run spacious verandahs with an open terrace projected in the middle.
The palace Ahsan Manzil is divided into two parts: the eastern side and the western side. The eastern building with the dome is called the Rangmahal and the western side with the living rooms is called Andarmahal. The high octagonal dome is placed on the central round room. There is a large drawing room, card room, library, state room and two other guest rooms are located on the east side of the palace. The ballroom, the Hindustani room and few residential rooms are situated on the western side. A beautiful vaulted artificial ceiling, made of wood, decorates the drawing room and the Jalsaghar. A splendid dining hall and few smaller rooms are placed on the west part. The floors of the dining and Darbar Halls are decorated with white, green and yellow colored ceramic tiles. The famous store room, where the valuables of the Nawabs used to be stored, was in the middle of the five rooms located in the western half of the ground floor. Along with those rooms a Darbar Hall or assembly hall and a chest room is also place there.
There are attractive wooden stairs in the room that is attached to the north of the domed room. The balusters were ornamented with vine leaves made of iron along the railing of the stairs. The wooden ceiling of the room, decorated with geometric designs, is very elegant. The verandas and rooms are covered with marble. The doorways are placed within semicircular arches. The inner doors had multi-colored glasses. Wooden beams supported the roof of these rooms. The architecture and the decoration is one of a kind in whole Bangladesh.
The construction of the famous dome of the Ahsan Mazil, which is at the center of the palace, took a lot tedious planning. The square room on the ground floor was built with a round shape and brickworks were done around the corners. To give the room an octagonal shape, squinches were given around the roof corners. The eight corners of the octagon was slanted gradually to make the dome look like the bud of a lotus ( kumud kali). The peak of this dome is 27.13 m above the ground. Ahsan Manzil was severely damaged during the tornado that occurred on 7 April 1888.the western block of Andermahal was completely demolished and later it was entirely rebuilt. The present day dome, which is situated on the top, was built during the time of reconstruction. This place was also damaged during the earthquake of 1897 but Nawab Khwaja Ahsanullah repaired the whole place again.
Glory days[edit]
In 1874, Lord Northbrook, Governor General of India attended an evening function in the palace when he came to lay the foundation of a water works installed by Nawab Abdul Ghani. In 1888, Lord Dufferin also accepted the hospitality offered at Ahsan Manzil. In 1904 Lord Curzon, on a visit to East Bengal, stayed in this palace on 18 and 19 February to win public support for the proposed Partition of Bengal.
Ahsan Manzil, an architectural treasure, is a witness to many historical events of Bangladesh. From the last part of the 19th century to the initial years of Pakistan, the Muslim leadership of East Bengal emerged from this palace. The nawabs of Dhaka used to conduct their court affairs here as chief of the panchayet (village council) everyday. Many anti-Congress meetings were held here under the patronization of Nawab Ahsanullah, a staunch believer in Muslim identity. Almost all the Viceroys, Governors and Lieutenant Governors of British India who visited Dhaka spent some time at the Ahsan Manzil. Almost all political activities of Nawab Khwaja Salimullah centred round this palace. Ahsan Manzil was the cradle of the All India Muslim League. With the decline of the Nawabs of Dhaka, Ahsan Manzil also started to decline.
In 1952, the Dhaka Nawab State was acquired under the East Bengal Estate Acquisition Act; it became impossible for the successors of the Nawabs to maintain the palace due to financial constraints. Nawab Khwaja Habibullah started living at Paribag Green House soon after the acquisition of the zamindari. The palace was soon on the verge of collapse as successors rented out rooms without considering its dignity. Over the years illegal occupants turned the place into a filthy slum. After the independence of Bangladesh, most of the nawab family went to abroad in search of a better livelihood and work. On 1974, the owners of the palace decided to give it up on auction.
Recognizing the historical and architectural importance of the Ahsan Manzil, the government of Bangladesh took the initiative to renovate it. In 1985, Ahsan Manzil and its surroundings were acquired. After the completion of the renovation work in 1992 under the supervision of the Directorate of Public Works and Architecture, it was brought under the control of Bangladesh National Museum (20 September 1992). A museum has been established there.
Considering the historical importance and architectural significance of Ahsan Manzil palace, the government was trying to conserve it since the later part of the Pakistani rule. The father of nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman canceled its auction proposal option. On November 2, 1974, he ordered to establish a museum and tourist center after its proper conservation.
After the implementation of the work on the museum started, most of the nawab's house area along with the half of the portion of the Andarmahal remained beyond acquisition. The total area of acquired land was 5.65 acres. Out of that 0.68 acres from northern side was given to Dhaka City Corporation to establish a super market and 4.96 acres of land with the palace buildings remained for museum purpose. In 1986, the work began according to the above order keeping the original structure undisturbed and reconstructing the old environment as far as possible. After the completion of the renovation work in 1992, under the supervision of the Directorate of Public Works and Architecture, it was brought under the control of Bangladesh National Museum (20 September 1992). A museum has been established there.

That Dolphins alternate is exactly the same as the one they have been wearing for years. Come on, Deuce. I expected better than that from you. We're going to see one team in new uniforms (Seattle) and a few new throwbacks. Nothing at all different from any other year.
even though this looks awesome... it also tells us they're still staying with the flaming thumbtack ....crap >.<
As for a new logo for us. I'm not sure if people would like this idea or not but I always thought our alternate logo was so much better than our main one. I did this awhile back. I combined our alternate with the flames of our main logo. I thought it looked pretty cool. Idk.
^Not bad, but too vertical. And TTF... this is quite a bit of changing for "just logos"... Multiply this by 3 next year and continue the cycle.
I like the Titans logo, do not want to change a thing about the uniforms, except making the dark blues the standard again in a year or two. Maybe in the minority here.
Do any of you know about branding? Cause I do, and let me tell you, changing the Titans logo would be dumb right now. It may not be loved by everyone, but it is recognizable, and relatively cool looking. The only other pro team that you can compare it to is the Texas rangers, but theirs include words.

Anger Rising in Bangladesh, Putting Big Brands Under Pressure
It's been about a month since the Rana Plaza factory complex crumbled into a cement grave for more than 1,100 Bangladeshi workers. Now, the dust has settled, but the anger still burns as workers await compensation and accountability from a manufacturing system that runs on industrial "death traps."
But last week, at a meeting of the International Labour Organization, dozens of major global clothing brands—none based in the United States—announced they had signed onto a broad safety accord designed to be more comprehensive than previous corporate codes of conduct. The initiative, led by labor rights groups and unions, is just the beginning of a long road to labor justice, but could move one of the world's deadliest manufacturing sectors toward meaningful international accountability.
The linchpin of the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety, which now has the support of 40 companies, such as H&M and Benetton, representing some 1000 factories, is a legally binding commitment to hold multinationals responsible for safety violations. Corporations must also proactively safeguard workers' physical and economic security by assisting suppliers in financing and implementing safety upgrades. The plan also provides some job protections for workers affected by safety remediations, when, for instance, a factory must shut down for renovations. Workers and advocacy groups would also have a role in administering the inspection and renovation procedures.
UNI Global Union, a Geneva-based international labor coalition, announced last week, "The aim is to have safety inspectors on the ground as quickly as possible in order to begin to fix the most urgent problems." With an unprecedented number of companies on board, UNI says that going forward, "workers everywhere will now seek to expand this historic accord to other countries and to other industrial sectors."
But in a sector rife with unsafe, poorly regulated buildings, many of the most dangerous factories may remain out of reach because two major American brands, Gap and Wal-Mart, are holding out, apparently wary of the possibility of legal or financial liability for supply-chain safety problems. Wal-Mart has sought to preempt the pending safety accord by announcing its own safety plan, which activists dismiss as another toothless public-relations measure.
So-called "corporate social responsibility" initiatives have long been criticized by activists as corruption-prone smokescreens used by corporations to "voluntarily" police (and rubber stamp) conditions in their own supply chains, without real, legal accountability.
This American exceptionalism is nothing new. Last year, in the wake of another deadly factory fire at Tazreen, a Wal-Mart affiliated supplier, the New York Times reported the company had balked at a similar proposal for safety improvements led by the Clean Clothes Campaign in 2011.
But the Rana disaster was so lethal that activists hope this time, Gap and Wal-Mart will capitulate to public pressure. "The accord enjoys very broad support and there is no legitimate reason for Gap not to join," says Liana Foxvog of the International Labor Rights Forum, one of the groups campaigning for the accord.
If Gap and Wal-Mart reject the accord, they could undermine the integrity of the entire system. Garrett Brown, coordinator of the Maquiladora Health & Safety Support Network, tells Working In These Times via email that the value of the pending agreement lies in the collective buy-in of major industry players:
No agreement, including this one, can overcome the dominant current business model of global supply chains—the "race to the bottom"—but it attempts to put a floor underneath what is "acceptable practice" and with enough major players so there is a "level playing field" for the signatories … It will be important that the U.S. brands also sign on soon so that there is not a "unlevel playing field" that benefits those who do not sign on.
Ultimately, ceding structural power to workers poses a greater threat to Wal-Mart's industrial hierarchy than signing onto a safety contract. By giving workers more leverage in factory oversight, the door could be cracked open for more union rights, collective bargaining or strikes. Since companies have profited for so long off a society of poverty wages and suppression of unions, Foxvog says:
Gap and Walmart may be worried that by joining the accord they would set a precedent that would empower workers not only in Bangladesh but also in other countries as well to demand dignity and respect for their basic rights. The accord is a shift from voluntary self-regulation to a binding labor-management agreement.
She adds that the agreement would open prospects for "union access to factories and union involvement in forming factory-level health and safety committees."
Yet with or without the safety agreement, garment workers are mobilizing to demand justice from the nation's biggest export industry, lashing out at corporations that have paid for short-term economic "development" with the bodies of the poor.
Thousands of workers have taken to the streets in recent weeks, braving a brutally repressive police force that is known for attacking labor activists. On May 20, about 20,000 workers in the Shulia district, a garment-manufacturing hub, rallied to demand a raise in monthly pay to about $100 per month (the current wage floor is set at less than $40 monthly).
And just as the ink was drying on the safety accord, workers shut down production at 20 factories last week and temporarily blockaded the Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway. At least 50 were injured in clashes with police.
Meanwhile, the Rana disaster's victims and their families are struggling to cope not only with grief, but with the loss of crucial, if abysmally low, wages. People who suffered devastating injuries and lost limbs from the collapse now face even deeper poverty.
According to AFP and Global Post, workers complain that the payments that have trickled in have been calculated according to distorted estimates, such as undercounting overtime hours. Shefali Akter, 25, told AFP she had lost two sisters at Rana and had suffered injury, but was denied adequate recompense:
"They are not taking into account the three years' work that I did in another factory in the same building," she said while showing an X-ray of her bruised skull to an AFP correspondent.
"After spending the money on my medicine, I don't have enough money to feed myself and my family properly," said the married mother of two.
In the end, Akter decided to reject the compensation she had been offered. Perhaps refusing an insulting payout is the strongest challenge to the callousness of multinational companies that workers can raise. In an industry that ruthlessly devalues poor people's lives to chase ever-higher profits, the most valuable thing workers have left to fight for is their dignity.

Exclusive Track: Animals As Leaders' New Song "Somnarium"
Animals As Leaders
Prosthetic Records
Judging by the feedback we received from our post on instrumental metal bands, many of you out there in blogland are Animals As Leaders fans. In fact, a few of you took umbrage when we ranked the group's guitarist Tosin Abasi at number two in our top metal guitarists under 30 list. "Tosin should have been number one!" you cyber-screamed.
Hopefully we can make things right with this exclusive track from Animals As Leaders' new album, Weightless, available as a stream below. Like the other songs on the work, it continues their ornate progression down an instrumental path, and the best part is that it never feels like they're showing off.
Joining the group this time around are touring members Javier Reyes, their second guitarist, and drummer Navene Koperweis, both of whom recorded with the band for the first time on Weightless.
But back to the matter at hand. Click below the launch the "Somnarium" stream. It is track three from Weightless, which is due out a week from today, November 8th.
Oh, and if you missed the band live when they came through L.A. this summer, they're hitting the House of Blues in Hollywood on Saturday, November 26th with fellow prog-metal greats Between The Buried And Me and rising British upstarts Tesseract.

I love both geckos. You really can't compare the two very well. One is arboreal and the other stays on the ground! The pair of adult female leos I had were a little skittish but never attempted to bite. They need a lot of ground space, whereas cresties need vertical space for climbing.
Leos eat dusted crickets, which is mainly the reason why I eventually gave mine to a friend. I was tired of purchasing and caring for the crickets as food for the leos. My parents also became tired of having the cricket containers around. Cresteds, on the other hand, mainly eat CGD (which I think is pleasant and fruity) with some insects as treats if desired (mine won't eat insects).
As for personality, it really depends on the individual gecko. Keep this in mind--when a crested escapes, it can climb the walls. Leos cannot. In that sense it is easier to deal with a skittish leo than a skittish crested.
P.S. Leos need a heat source.

"I like zipping around," Vining, Minn., native Karen Nyberg told students via NASA hookup from space station.
A NASA astronaut from Minnesota, currently orbiting 250 miles above Earth in the International Space Station, fielded questions Wednesday from students who attend her former school during a freewheeling session that touched on everything from what she eats to what it's like to float without gravity.
"How old were you when you decided to be an astronaut?" a third-grade girl asked Karen Nyberg during her exchange with students at the K-12 Henning School in Vining, in west-central Minnesota.
"I was about your age when I decided," said Nyberg, bobbing about in her sky-blue NASA jumpsuit and speaking into a handheld microphone. "I was probably going to school and sitting in the same classrooms that you are now."
A second-grade boy wondered whether being in zero gravity felt like being in water.
"That's a very keen observation," Nyberg said, noting that her preparation for space travel included underwater training.
Asked what she likes best about being in space, Nyberg responded: "I like zipping around. You get going around pretty fast … going around corners. … and floating all over the place. It's a lot, a lot of fun."
As for her menu in space, Nyberg said the options are much like what is available on Earth. She held up a freeze-dried pouch that "happens to be one of my favorites, red beans and rice. I like it because it's spicy."
Nyberg, who arrived at the station in May for a six-month mission and celebrated her 44th birthday on Oct. 7, is a straight-A graduate of Henning, enrollment roughly 400. Her 20-minute hookup with the schoolchildren was carried live on NASA TV and on the agency's website.
In preparation for the conversation, the Henning students have been following Nyberg's second space mission and NASA's activities have been incorporated into their studies.
She is the second Minnesota woman in space. The state's other female astronaut is St. Paul's Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper.
Nyberg is a graduate of the University of North Dakota, and has her master's and doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin.

- Rebel Yell 2012/06/27 14:46:03+1The Republicans' worst nightmare has come true. They had no other candidate, so uber wealthy Romney stepped up. Waffling Willard. Pretzel Man. No Details Mitt.
He needs to explain how he plans to balance the federal budget while adding trillions in new military spending. Romney has been very careful to avoid being specific about what kind of spending he'd cut because at some point, he'll have to acknowledge that big budget cuts require reduced big spending on Medicare, which he fully intends to take an axe to. Romney has often said, " Details will come later." If this man is elected, you will be surprised at the details he has in store for the middle class.
Romney HAS NO PLAN he is willing to share because he knows what the reaction will be. Here is his immigration plan...." "I will put in place my own long-term solution that will replace and supersede the president's temporary measure." Gee, that's just great , Mitt. Vague, general and downright evasive policy prescriptions on some of the most important issues facing the country are becoming the rule for Romney.
Why won't he won't offer up details?? He knows it will undermine his chances to win. -
Thought 'liberals' were more open minded. Guess I need a new nickname and another profile picture to even have a chance on a decent discussion with them.
That figures the same machine is brainwashing them.
Remember the successes how you got people interested in the message!
The Democrats I got interested was via these vids about foreign wars and taking away civil liberties. Republicans were more open to understand the monetary system in my experience. Except some Democrats which trust I got by saying Reagan was an awful Keynesian big gov spender (proving I was not some Republibot).
This picture on the FED does work for both Democrats and Republicans
+2Yes, I do really like Nigel. But I prefer what the people of Iceland did.

+1That's the solution people taking over and liquidating the debts.
Argentina is also a good example. Too bad here in EU and in the US we are going for the Japan scenario. Recently a Jewish friend told me and didn't understand Japan is becoming more 'anti Semitic' while there is virtually no Jew living in Japan. Easy to fill in the holes it's not about the Jews but the gov and banking system (which happens to be dominated by them from the US, also 35,688 US troops in Japan). - Waldorf 2012/06/27 13:23:57

I realize Romney has yet to release specific plans but be honest, between Romney and Obama which one is more likely to get us to a better fiscal position when it comes to debt and deficits? Obama has had 4 years to show he can do that yet each year he turned out a 1 trillion+ deficit budget. Romney turned billions of dollars in deficits as governor into a balanced budget all 4 years and left the state with a large rainy day fund. When im given the choice of Obama or Romney, I will always have more faith in Romney.
You said ORomney is much better then you admit he has yet to release plans!!! Don't you know what the make you look like? And your stats on gov ORomney are false. Your kind of thinking is exactly how America is being destroyed.
No, my stats are in fact correct. Its your liberal Obama group think that is ruining this country. You may dispute me now but talk to me in 4 years and see where we are if Obama is reelected.
You are such a sheep. I have never voted for a dem. I hold you and your type totally responsible for the demise of MY country!
Your country? And look at you, dont you just have all the answers? Why dont you run for president of YOUR country

Bianca Full-Queen Duvet Cover is rated out of 5 by 22.
Rated 3 out of 5 by SJB1 from Looks Great @ 1st But Ruins After A Wash I fell in love with this at the store. It looked so crisp so fresh. I loved it when I brought it home. It brightened up my room. As soon as I washed it it went from looking like crisp cotton to a not so crisp. Also the linen trim wrinkled and bunched up. Even after ironing it it didn't go back to that crisp look. I'm so sad. I loved the look. I'm seriously debating returning it. If you want to keep the crisp look you'll have to dry clean it. So add that to your cost. If you have young kids or pets this may not be the Duvet Cover for you. So sad.

Rated 3 out of 5 by nico17 from I like the look, but doesn't wash well This duvet is not for people who like the "tailored" look. It's a very versatile duvet that goes well with many different sheet sets, and I like the linen texture and burlap-like strips that run across it.However, I thought I had misread the care instructions after I had taken this out of the dryer. The tan strips fray when you put it through the wash...I thought that maybe I was supposed to have the duvet dry cleaned. I have mixed feelings about this outcome. On one hand, the tattered edges add to the "look," but on the other hand, I purchased a Crate & Barrel product with the expectation that care instructions were carefully thought-through, and with the expectations that the product would not transform into something else after light usage (a single wash!).Since I'm not sure how this will hold up after further washes, I'm not sure that I would recommend this duvet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasReno from Soft touch and look I bought the duvet and some shams a few months ago, but I just started using them due to a home remodel. The duvet and shams look crisper in the C&B photo than they are in real life after washing, which we are pleased with, as we wanted a softer look to contrast the hard lines of our reclaimed wood bed. I was worried about the linen in the duvet, but the mostly cotton blend fabric is much softer to the touch than I would have expected. The duvet cover is a little big on our duvet, but I am okay with this. If you like a really full duvet, try ordering a queen cover for a king duvet.

Rated 4 out of 5 by carin from Not as Good as New I love the simplicity of this design. I love that it's washable - that's a must for me with three dogs. It comes clean very nicely. The only down side I can think of is that the tan trim parts are seeming a little tattered after a few washes. I wash inside out and dry on low, but unless I want to press (and I do not) I have never gotten it to look like the photo. It's still nice. I also bought a solid tan duvet cover from C&B so I can alternate while laundering and all the same shams and throw pillows still work. I like being able to mix things up. All and all, unless I can convince my dogs to stay off the bed - I think this is my best bet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brie from Crisp looking modern duvet Duvet and shams add a clean, modern look to the bedroom. Linen trim adds an extra touch, even when the top of the comforter is folded over a bit. I love the look and feel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bianca Duvet from Awesome! This set is perfect in our apartment! If has just enough going on that it's not boring- but if also looks clean and neat! It is quite cozy, but can get a little wrinkly! Other than that we absolutely recommend it!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marguerite from The perfect gift I gave this duvet and the shams as a wedding gift a few months ago. I work with the bride. Months later she is still talking about this gift! She said they both love the look of it in their bedroom...(happy to please a groom as well!)... After a spill she did have to wash it. Evidently it was gently washed and dried and looks very close to new.I have never seen such enthusiasm for a wedding gift. Nicely done, Crate and Barrel!

Rated 5 out of 5 by TarHeel12 from So Soft and Comfortable We received this duvet and pillow set as a wedding gift, because I was absolutely in love with the linen look. The only thing I was nervous about was if the linen would be too rough to sleep comfortably with however the fabric on this is much softer than a true linen which was great! A little pricey for a duvet cover, but the quality reflects the price. Looks absolutely beautiful, overall very satisfied!

Rated 4 out of 5 by shorttz from simple classy bedding I purchased this bedding set about two months ago and we really like it. I washed it at home in my machine on the gentle cycle with delicate detergent. I also only let it partially dry in the dryer. It came out just as soft as when I put it in. It has wrinkles but that is expected with linen. Looks great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by beejay from Just what we were looking for This is a nice, casual duvet cover. We updated our bedroom to include an upholstered headboard and the linen material is perfect! It has a nice contemporary look. We are a retired couple with no children at home, and we don't cover with it at night, so the linen is not a problem for us.My only complaint is that we were unable to buy an insert to work with this anywhere but Crate and Barrel. The insert is very nice and the best one for this duvet cover. However, it was pricey. I love the "fluffy" look with the insert, but it also looks great without one!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Princess and The Pea from Bed Skirt + Duvet I love the colors and quality of this bedding. The only thing I can't figure out is how to keep the comforter centered since it has long sides for the bed skirt. I loved the idea of not having to buy a bed skirt as well, but it doesn't look as good just hanging down. Great idea, but didn't work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnieT from Elegant After looking at many options for duvets, this is the one I got and it is beautiful. I love that it is neutral, looks elegant in any decor and the versatility of being able to change out pillows to change the look is fun.

Bob Janssen is a back-yard birder, but his range extends to every corner of the state, including Interstate Park, where he is conducting a bird inventory, in part to determine the impact of development on habitat. ``Humanity is enroaching on those areas every minute we speak,'' he said.
Of the millions of birds Bob Janssen has seen in his lifetime, there's one he'll never forget.
A meadowlark.
Bob was 5. He was riding his bike near a cattail marsh by his south Minneapolis house when all of a sudden a bird shot up out of the marsh right in front of him.
"It was a whole new world," he said. "An epiphany."
That meadowlark started a lifelong passion for birds. Sixty-five years later, Janssen is widely recognized as the state's most prolific birder, because he can identify nearly all of the 427 bird species documented in the state by sight and sound, and because he's been doing it for longer than just about anybody.
Janssen has published two seminal books about birds in Minnesota, and he's in the midst of compiling an inventory of birds found in every one of Minnesota's 72 state parks for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The State Parks Avian Species Inventory is an endeavor akin to counting the screws, nails and bolts at all the state's Home Depot stores.
At 7:30 in the morning, commuters rumble down Hwy. 8 near Interstate Park. Janssen is on his second visit to the park to count birds for the inventory. It's difficult to have a conversation, let alone hear the birds. But Janssen can hear the birds above the din of the traffic.
Fee-bee, fee-bee.
"That's a chickadee," he says, peering into his binoculars. He stops to listen, then adds: "I just believe that birds sing for the joy of it."
When he was young, Janssen kept his love of birds a secret, holding it close to his heart, like the Peterson's Field Guide he kept hidden under his jacket when he'd race his bike to the marsh to look for more.
There were few people with whom he could share his interest. Birding wasn't a popular sport among young boys. It was considered an activity for little old ladies in tennis shoes, he said. When he was 10 he had his tonsils removed. While recovering, he read T. Gilbert Pearson's birding classic, "Birds of America" -- 10 times.
"Shhhh," he says, "I hear the rough-wing swallow." Even along the banks of the St. Croix River there's too much noise for me to hear it. I never see it, but Janssen knows it's there.
A self-taught birder, Janssen learned about birds by listening and watching every chance he got, even during duck hunting trips with his dad. Shooting, he said, wasn't his thing, though.
In the late 1940s, he helped organize a birding club and started traveling the state with kindred spirits. He later became editor of the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union quarterly publication, the Loon.
By 9 a.m. we've seen or heard 25 bird species, not as many as Janssen would have liked. "Should have seen twice that many," he says. The day before, at another state park, Janssen cataloged 60 species in less than two hours.
Throughout his life, Janssen has made sacrifices for birding: family gatherings, birthdays and vacations. Since retiring in 1994, he's been able to devote more time to birding.
Nearly every week for the past three years, Janssen has been driving to the far reaches of the state to visit state parks. He visits each park once a year for at least two years, following the same route through the park to record his observations.
Sometimes he's on the road 80 hours a week, but that's nothing new. Janssen's family -- his wife of almost 50 years and two grown children -- are used to sharing him with the birds.

Had another moment of reading what I expected to see and not what was actually there...you wrote "Ron said he would go with me because he wanted to see what the inside of the church looked like." I read it as: "Ron said he would go with me because he wanted to see what the inside of "A" church looked like." LOL!!!
Gaelic...did it make you think you were at a Latin Mass? HA!
Thanks for posting more pics...
Last full Day in Dingle Sunday
Trip Start
Oct 05, 2010
Trip End
Oct 21, 2010
October 10, 2010 Sunday
I chose to "skip" the 8:30 am breakfast and go 9:00 am Mass at St. Mary's Church which is a couple of blocks away. Ron said he'd go with me because he wanted to see what the inside of the Church looked like. We got there around 8:40 am and went inside. Nobody in the pews yet so Ron had a chance to take a look around and then immediately head back to the B&B and breakfast.
Folks started coming in right close to 9:00 am. What I was soon to discover was that the 9:00 am Mass today was going to be in Gaelic! I could follow along OK since the
Mass is the same the world over so that wasn't a problem. Every once in awhile during the sermon, the priest would say something in English. By the time I realized that I only heard the last few words of what he said.
Arriving back at the B&B I found that Eileen had breakfast ready for me. I was very thankful for that since the next thing on our agenda was a hike uphill over a saddle between 2 hills and back down into a valley which led back to Dingle.. Another very nice hike with a great view of Dingle and the harbor plus the many fields with sheep and horses.
After arriving back in town we stopped to have beer and then headed back to the B& B for a bit before having lunch at Dano's. After lunch we walked over to the harbor and walked along the path along the water's edge. I talked Ron into doing a bit of shopping after that. He can only handle that in very short segments. :>)
Dinner tonight was at Murphy's Pub. Good Pub food and beer as we've come to expect.. Ron and I headed down the street after we ate to find some Irish Music to listen to. Found a group of folks at the Marina Inn who were playing so we sat and listened in for a bit before heading back to the B&B.

The Mill on the Floss
I've been looking forward to reading The Mill on the Floss for years, and finally got to it during my current project to read all of George Eliot's novels and stories in the order they were written. I've heard for years about what a wonderful character Maggie Tulliver is, and I knew it was a tragedy and had a rough idea of how it ended.
As with so many long anticipated treats, I was a bit disappointed but extremely glad I have read the book and do plan to reread it at some point. Maggie was an interesting character. The afterword to the edition I read made the point that in Eliot's previous novel, Adam Bede, she contrasts two female protagonists, Dinah and Hettie, but in The Mill on the Floss, she provides contrasting forces that struggle within a single female character. I like this way of looking at Maggie, but I think for me her single overriding characteristic is her impulsiveness. It seems she has no filter between what she feels and how she acts, whether it be high or low, manic or depressive. Even near the end, when she is in a stupor, lulled beyond the point of no return by the river and Steven, there is an impulsive, careless quality to her willingness to remain torpid.
I had expected to identify more with Maggie, and perhaps I might have if I had read this book when I was high school or college-aged. I appreciated her mind and thirst for education and knowledge, but her devotion to her churlish brother Tom I found irritating. I admired her friendship with Philip Wakem and understood her passion for Steven Guest and sympathized with her relationship to her cousin Lucy, but I couldn't reconcile all this with her continued role as doormat for Tom.
It's been interesting to see Eliot's progress as a novelist. In a way, Philip Wakem is another take on the physically debilitated hero with an unfortunate keenly developed sense of self and destiny that she introduced in Latimer in The Lifted Veil, the work immediately preceding The Mill on the Floss. In The Mill on the Floss she has written a true tragedy, something she approached with Adam Bede but backed away from in the end.
And then there is the river. While I appreciate a good metaphor, I think that Eliot is far too overt with the symbolism she infuses into the river Floss. Throughout the book she talks of Maggie being swept away on currents of thought and feeling, the inevitability of time rushing on, as well as the ebb and flow of current, the unchangeability of people and society over the long haul, the force contained within the movement of the water. I really felt she was hitting the reader over the head with all this. At times the writing was poetic and true and beautiful, and at times it became melodramatic and banal. That said, I did glimpse from time to time the kind, sympathetic, and just narrator that I so love in Middlemarch.
Now, on to Silas Marner, though it will be a bit before I can tackle it as I signed up to review Hard Times for the Classic Circuit's Dueling Authors (Austen vs Dickens) Tour on May 19, and have a couple of books to finish up before I even start that one. However, I am eager to read Hard Times and compare it to Gaskell's North and South, which were written at about the same time and with the basically subject matter.
Final note, I usually watch an adaptation or two after finishing a classic, but I'm not sure whether I will go this route this time. Netflix has two versions--a 1997 90-minute version with Emma Watson as Maggie, and a 1998 212-minute version with Pippa Guard as Maggie. I'm open to input on which is best or if either is worth watching.
13 comments:
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Jane. I wish I could feel as you do about this book, but I know I'll never read it again - I can only torture myself so much. I love Middlemarch, so I began Mill on the Floss with high expectations. I wasn't pre-warned about the tragedy. I felt totally cheated by the ending. I'd invested so much time and so much caring for Maggie that I felt was all wasted effort.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my favorite Eliot (having also read Silas Marner, Middlemarch, and Adam Bede). I don't disagree with any of your criticisms, but I still adore Maggie, with all her flaws. Some of it might be that I did read it for the first time when I was in college and I didn't have particularly high expectations, so I ended up being totally swept away--and I'll admit to being a sucker for a tragic ending.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that I posted on one of your favorite novels the same day you reviewed one of mine! I admit it is not Maggie that makes me adore this book so much, but the agonizing tragedy of the end. I have rarely been so emotionally moved by a tale. Enjoy Silas Mariner, another favorite, but I admit that I am most anxious to hear your perspective on Daniel Deronda, which I think is the most magnificent of Eliot's books, a writer who left us such a magnificent legacy.
ReplyDeleteI see from the range of comments that this book can inspire devotion, but I find that my reaction to 'The Mill on the Floss' is very close to yours. And as usual, you articulate very well the factors that may account for the uneasy dissatisfaction I felt after reading it.
I could not relate to Maggie's personality or her co-dependence on Tom. I also think you're right that the river as symbol is too self-consciously employed. Making the river such a large force in the novel seemed to drain some of her characters of their intrinsic force. Yet the tragedy, perhaps borne of their weakness, was so out of proportion in melodrama to the somnolent tone of the whole.
I'm glad Eliot didn't stop here, but was able to go on and reach her full potential as a novelist in 'Middlemarch' and 'Daniel Deronda.'
I look forward to reading your post on 'Hard Times' for the "Dueling Authors" tour!Based on how you describe Maggie Tulliver she certainly sounds far more passionate and Marianne Dashwood-like than Moorland Cottage's heroine they seem to share little in common other than their name and devotion to their brother. I know what I'll be reading after my event for Vol. 1 of Ruth ends. ;)
I have seen both adaptions of Mill on the Floss, and although it's been awhile the 1998 version with Emily Watson stands out.I read TMOTF about 40 years ago, in my 20s. I loved Maggie Tulliver, but as the end approached, I was sick of the way it was all winding into a mess. And the end made me so angry I will never read it again, although I absolutely love the rest of GE's books, expecially Middlemarch. The end of Mill is almost as bad as the end of Tess of the d'Urbervilles, although Maggie is much more engaging than Tess.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousSeptember 04, 2011
I really didn't see the likeness of Moorland to Mill. I enjoyed Moorland Cottage so much more. I haven't read most of Eliot's works. I have watched all the movie/Tv versions however of all the works mentioned above. For some reason I could do Tess moreso than Maggie. At least from what I recall. Suzan
