WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - "The Way," written and directed by Emilio Estevez, is the kind of film you need to think about after viewing. Like a fine wine, it has a finish that lingers with you long after the credits have run. This makes it a perfect DVD film to own and give to others as a gift.
Recently, I was able to talk with Emilio about this remarkable film, which carefully connects with you and then carries you off on a journey you are eager to make.
You are joining American ophthalmologist, Tom Avery (played superbly by Martin Sheen - Emilio's father), who loses his son (played briefly by Emilio) through a hiking accident on the historic El Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James) in Northern Spain. In reality he had actually lost his son, relationally, long before that. Which leads to the rest of the story.
Rather than return home after identifying the body, Tom decides to embark on the trip himself, following the path used by pilgrims for more than a thousand years, to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't plan on is the profound impact this trip will have on him both in rigor and relationships. He's not prepared for the physical toll on his body or the emotional toll from the friends he joins along the way. He learns first hand what his son meant in saying, "You don't choose a life, you live one."
Tom meets other pilgrims from around the world, each with their own issues and looking for greater meaning in their lives: a Dutchman (Yorick van Wageningen), a Canadian (Deborah Kara Unger) and an Irish writer (James Nesbitt), who is suffering from a bout of writer's block.
As I watched this movie, I was struck very quickly by the impact physically that filming this story would have on its lead, Martin Sheen. I was curious to ask Emilio about this aspect of the project.
"My dad has been doing yoga for about 35 years, long before it was trendy, He's a pretty fit guy; he was game to do the trek and really mix it up. He insisted on doing his own stunts."
There was one scene in particular that I wondered about. Tom (Sheen) lost his pack in a rapidly moving river and went in after it.
"That was his idea, you know," Estevez replied. "When I was developing the screenplay he insisted that the bag should get lost in the river and that his character should jump in after it."
While "The Way" did a really good job of portraying priests and has a positive tone regarding the Catholic faith, one of the devices in the film I questioned had to do with the cremation of Tom's son. He then decides to take the ashes on the journey and distribute them along the way. This concept flies directly in the face with Catholic teaching.
I asked Emilio about this and whether they got any push back from audiences. He indicated that one group, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), had a conversation about this and a few other things just after an early viewing of the film.
He said the discussion he had with FOCUS leaders was very positive. On the cremation subject they said to him, "His character is a lapsed Catholic and wouldn't know Canon Law. Wouldn't this be a wonderful talking point with groups regarding Canon Law and the character's choice to do this?"
Without giving away some great film moments, in addition to the three unique characters who join him, you meet a very engaging Catholic priest who is also a pilgrim. At first, Tom thinks he's Jewish because he is wearing a yarmulke but then discovers he has cancer and this is used to hide a tender scarred area on his scalp.
This was based on a true story. "My father met a priest at Lourdes and the priest was wearing a yarmulke, speaking in a thick Brooklyn accent. And my father said, 'Nice to see you, Rabbi!' and the guys says, 'No, no! I'm a Catholic priest and I had brain cancer and I used this yarmulke to cover the scar because I don't look good in a big hat.'"
Faith plays a big place in the film but it is never "preachy." Estevez said that the two things he wanted people to take away from the film were spirituality and community. He indicated he wanted to stay away from dogma that could divide and wanted to stay with themes that would unite the audience and celebrate humanity.
With the film's release on DVD, I asked Emilio how he felt "The Way" might be used.
"We did this cross country bus tour in the fall and we hit 27 states; we did 50 days out there. The feedback was amazing. Some people had seen it two or three times.
"The feedback seems to be, 'I'm going to buy a copy for myself and a copy for my mom. Retreat centers are asking how can we get a copy of the film so we can screen it for discussion here. Catholic organizations saying, 'We'd love for the film to be a part of a discussion on "The Camino" or about community.
"So I really feel that this is a film that is going to stand the test of time; that, while it wasn't a blockbuster type of film, it will be talked about 10 and 20 years from now. It will be remembered."
"The Way" will be available on DVD beginning February 21, 2012.

Ok but needs more Used the free version and was hoping for a little more with the paid version. 1. Needs a lot more editing options period. Also, the ablity to zoom the whole pic while editing, to put faces in a pic to scale. Sucks to finish editing a picture and then u notice the face is sized or positioned wrong. 2. There should be an option to be able to re-edit the picture before having to save. You would figure this would be a standard option but sadly....no. Also video and create your own scenerio costs more $$$

7 Ways to Use Psychological Influence With Social Media Content
One of the hallmarks of social media is content: creating it, sharing it and engaging with it.
The best content in social media inspires, informs, educates or entertains (and if you're really lucky, it does all four!). But how do you create content that goes viral?
What follows are seven strategies you can employ to help your content succeed.
The idea for this post came from Jay Baer's excellent article on creating reusable social media content, which defined how companies can generate more value by repurposing existing content.
21 Creative Ways To Increase Your Facebook Fanbase
If you build a Facebook Page, will fans come? This is the great hope for many businesses. However, fans do not magically appear from the Facebook mist.
People must be lured to your fan page. And there are some good and bad ways to go about doing this. In this article, I'll share a big myth and 21 ways to drive more fans to your Facebook fan page. (Though Facebook recently changed the "Become A Fan" button to the new, omnipresent "Like" button – and a fan page is called a "Business Page" or "Facebook Page" – we can still call them fan pages and people who join are fans!)
The Big Myth
There's a great myth that once you create a Facebook fan page for your business, the first thing you should do to get fans is invite ALL your friends from your personal profile using the "Suggest to Friends" feature.
4 Ways to Use Twitter to Capture Customers
Twitter marketing is on the edge of going mainstream, and although much of the market doesn't quite accept it yet, the truth is that it's coming, and now is the time to get in on the action.
I began as a direct marketer, doing business face-to-face at a kitchen table with a phone call and a handshake. Back then, getting customers was tough work. These days, they are all over, just waiting to be found.
On any given day, there are millions of people looking for something on Twitter, be it a cup of coffee, a snack, a nice book to read, or just something to help them pass the time.
Add the fact that smartphones and other mobile devices have given the average consumer the means not only to find what they want online, but also to talk about it, and you've got the perfect situation for finding new customers.
6 Powerful Social Media Persuasion Techniques
Let's be honest, you don't just want your voice to be added to the conversation; you want your voice to be heard, repeated, and valued—and your message to be influential. Ultimately, you're after influence.
So what better way to understand social media than by looking at the fundamental principles of influence as taught by Dr. Robert Cialdini, professor of psychology and marketing at Arizona State University? In his seminal book, Influence, Cialdini covers six "weapons of influence" that are hardwired into our social and cognitive minds. In other words, we can't help but behave in accordance with these laws of social interaction.
Does this sound like something useful to keep in mind during your social media engagements? Well, let's take a look six powerful persuasion techniques:

Your immediate result: much better engagement with your readers. And by the way, I've used them all—many on this very site.

Vehicle is set up wrong, I have a 2.7L xtracab prerunner automatic and am about 28-30mpg. The best combination for these vehicles are Bilstein shocks front and back, Michelin LTX M/S 2 tires, some kind of soft or hard bed cover, and COPPER spark plugs with 10W40 motor oil. People will try to sell you on Platinum or Iridium plugs, but believe it of not, the copper plugs run alot better in the 2.7L. Just make sure to change them every 15k miles. I would also recommend changing BOTH front and read Oxygen Sensors if you are experiencing that fuel economy.

FCW Forum | Government 2.0
As the new administration takes shape, a debate has begun over the role social media will play — or should play — in public participation processes. There is rising tension and confusion over the appropriate place for social media alongside traditional public comment.
Both sides have their vocal proponents, but in my view, Government 2.0 needs both. Each has its purpose.
"Public comment" is a term of art — a legal standard that requires comments to be relevant, free of profanity, and offered with full attribution and identity. Public comments are a matter of public record and are to be shared as a matter of law. Think of it as a modern version of a town-hall meeting, a formalized process that requires participants to provide their names and places of residency, and speak on-point while contributing informed input.
The rising acceptance of social media does not alter this historic governmental process. As observed by Cass Sunstein in "Infotopia: How Many Minds Produce Knowledge," the purpose of public comment is not to engage in social interaction but rather to allow citizens the opportunity to share an opinion, one that is not influenced by social fear, to advise their representatives. In return, decision-makers benefit from the opportunity to discover that one good — and perhaps dissident — idea that might shape new solution possibilities.
Social media is different. The perceived value of social media is in part based on peer-to-peer communication that promotes the sharing of ideas. Social networks are designed to facilitate social exchanges that lead to collaborative problem solving and often unplanned or unexpected responses. Ideas are built collectively one meme at a time.
Consider the widely publicized Citizen's Briefing Book, a compilation of citizen input regarding the issues facing our nation. The response was impressive. More than 70,000 people participated, casting half a million votes on suggestions and generating tens of thousands of ideas, according to President Barack Obama's Change.gov site.
The Citizen's Briefing Book demonstrates that many people find the discussion and sharing of ideas to be highly relevant — enough so to move them to contribute and participate in a way that traditional public comment processes have not. With a lack of transparency and failed expectations, public comment processes have not delivered. One might argue that social media solves these problems.
So, public comment and social media have their place in Gov 2.0. If we truly believe that maximizing citizen engagement is a worthy goal, it follows that as government, we have to do both.
We must provide a means for engagement that enables simple citizen-to-government communication. On the other hand, peer-to-peer communication through the use of social media will enable government agencies to take advantage of the value inherent in citizen networks and will welcome even more citizens into the process.
Government will best meet rising citizen expectations by making sharp, thoughtful distinctions between the old tried and tested public comment and the new promising world of social media. But there is a difference.

God's Emissaries Adam to JesusAuthor: Shaykh Rizwan ArastuThe book before you is the first of its kind. It has elevated the genre of Prophetic stories to new heights. Rather than simply collecting and translating scripture and traditions, God's Emissaries: Adam to Jesus presents a comprehensive, theologically sound, captivating, and believable set of stories. It portrays God's prophets as the heroes they were, possessed of the most stellar of human traits, exemplary in every aspect of their being.God's Emissaries weaves together every Qur'anic verse and every plausible tradition that has come down to us from Prophet Muhammad and his family into an epic story of God's tireless efforts to guide humankind.

Dear brother, here is a whole thread created with many, many hadiths from Muhammed pbuh including short stories:

The present invention relates to a fishhook sinker, and more particularly to a fishhook sinker made of iron by non-die casting.
The conventional fishhook sinker of the prior art is generally made of lead by die casting because lead is a relatively soft material, which has a greater specific gravity and is capable of being molded easily into a variety of shapes. However, lead is a heavy metal, which can not be excreted easily by an animal once it is absorbed and deposited in the animal body. As a result, lead is a potential health hazard to a worker who makes the lead fishhook weight and is also a potential environmental pollutant responsible for the death of animals in general and birds in particular. For this reason, another kind of metal, such as iron, must be used to take the place of lead for the sake of protecting the ecological balance of the planet upon which we live.
As shown in FIG. 1, there are a variety of conventional fishhook sinkers 41, 42 and 43, each of which is provided with a through hole a1. As far as the sinkers 41 and 42 are concerned, the through hole a1 is used for a fishing string to pass through. The through hole a1 of the sinker 43 is so dimensioned as to permit a wound iron wire 431 to lodge therein to form an eye 432 located outside the through hole a1. The through hole a1 is made integrally with the lead sinker by die casting. In the case of an iron sinker, such through hole can not be easily punched or forged at the time when the iron sinker is made. For this reason, it is not economically feasible to use iron to take the place of lead in making a fishhook sinker. In addition, the cost of making the prior art sinker 43 is relatively high in view of the fact that the lodging of the iron wire 431 requires additional manual labor.
Another category of the prior art sinker 44 is also shown in FIG. 1. Such sinker 44 is not provided with a through hole. A fishhook 441 is held directly by the lead sinker 44 engulfing an end of the fishhook 441. Such method of attaching the fishhook 441 to the sinker 44 can not be done with an iron sinker. As a result, the iron sinker is not a workable substitute for the lead sinker.
Technically speaking, iron can be used to make the fishhook sinkers similar to those sinkers of the prior art as shown in FIG. 1. However, the iron sinkers are not competitive in terms of the price.
It is, therefore, the primary objective of the present invention to provide a fishhook sinker, which is made of iron economically in quantity by a method excluding the die casting.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide iron fishhook sinkers having a variety of shapes similar to those of the lead fishhook sinkers of the prior art.
The foregoing objectives, structures, and features of the present invention will be better understood by studying the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with the drawings provided herewith.
FIG. 1 shows perspective views of the lead fishhook sinkers of the prior art.
FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of a fishhook sinker made of iron by non-die casting, according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the iron fishhook sinker in combination as shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 shows an exploded view of a fishhook sinker made of iron by non-die casting, according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 shows a sectional view of the iron fishhook sinker in combination as shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 shows an exploded view of a fishhook sinker made of iron by non-die casting, according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of the iron fishhook sinker in combination as shown in FIG. 6.
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a sinker 10 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown comprising a first weight piece 11 and a second weight piece 12, which are symmetrical to each other. Both weight pieces 11 and 12 are oval in shape and provided respectively with flat side surfaces 110 and 120. The weight pieces 11 and 12 making up the sinker 10 are made of iron by forging. The flat side surfaces 110 and 120 are provided respectively with projections 112 and 123 and with cavities 113 and 122. The projection 112 of the first weight piece 11 and the cavity 122 of the second weight piece 12 are opposite to each other. In a similar arrangement, the projection 123 of the second weight piece 12 is opposite to the cavity 113 of the first weight piece 11. The depth of the two cavities 122 and 113 is slightly smaller than the height of the projections 112 and 123. Both flat side surfaces 110 and 120 are furnished respectively with the elongate slots 111 and 121.
In combination, the projections 112 and 123 are fitted into the cavities 122 and 113. The tips of the projections 112 and 123 are securely fused to the bottoms of the cavities 122 and 113 by electrifying the weight pieces 11 and 12. The sinker 10 is provided with a through hole which is formed by the elongate slots 111 and 121 for a fishing string to pass therethrough.
The iron sinker 10 of the present invention is similar in shape to the lead sinker of the prior art and can be made in quantity at a low cost by an automated forging system. In addition, the fishhook sinker 10 of the present invention is free from lead and is therefore consistent with the regulations of the environmental protection policy.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a fishhook sinker 20 of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises two symmetrical weights 21 and 22, which are respectively provided with elongate slots 211 and 221, projections 212 and 223, and cavities 222 and 213. In other words, the sinker 20 is similar in structure to the sinker 10, with the difference being that the elongate slots 211 and 221 of the weights 21 and 22 are provided respectively with semi-circular holes 214 and 224. In addition, the sinker 20 comprises an iron eyelet device 24 provided with a loop 241 and a head 242 which is so dimensioned as to fit rotatably and securely into the semi-circular holes 214 and 224 of the weights 21 and 22. By comparison, the sinker 20 of the present invention is structurally simpler than the sinker 43 of the prior art and can be therefore made at a relatively low cost.
A fishhook sinker 30 of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7. The sinker 30 is composed of two weights 31 and 32, which are provided respectively with elongate slots 311 and 321, projections 312 and 323, and cavities 322 and 313. The sinker 30 is also similar in structure to the sinkers 10 and 20, with the difference being that the elongate slots 311 and 321 have a curve which is so constructed as to receive therein a fishhook 34. In combination, the weights 31 and 32 of the sinker 30 holds securely the fishhook 34. In comparison with the sinker 44 of the prior art, the sinker 30 of the present invention has a relatively simple construction and can be made economically. Like the sinkers 10 and 20, the sinker 30 is also made of iron by forging.
The embodiments of the present invention described above are to be regarded in all respects as merely illustrative and not restrictive. Accordingly, the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without deviating from the spirit thereof. The present invention is therefore to be limited only by the scope of the hereinafter appended claims.

KOLKATA: Decisive seductiveness rates rebate by banks was only a hint that a real estate marketplace was watchful for. With home loan seductiveness rates on a downward swing, realtors are entertaining a actions of lenders such as State Bank of India and Housing Development Finance Co that have strew their hostility in flitting on a Reserve Bank of India's past rate cuts.
The rate reductions varying between 15 and 35 basement points opposite a banking attention can fuel a direct that is already being stoked by a government's programmes such as Smart Cities, Affordable Housing and Digital India with a concentration on shortening a inflows into cities that are ripping during a seams. A basement indicate is 0.01 per centage point.
"This has been a trigger a marketplace was energetically watchful for. We have already started saying uninformed seductiveness from buyers," pronounced Sandeep Ahuja, arch executive of Mumbai-based Richa Realtors. "Many realtors in Mumbai have now started rationalizing prices. Companies that know a right cost and right plcae will see expansion momentum."
Real estate attention has been hobbled for a past few years with bad direct due to unaffordable prices of skill that in some cases have climbed 10-fold in a matter of decade. Also, a Reserve Bank of India's high rate process to opposite acceleration prevented buyers. Now, with it slicing process rates by 50 basement points final month, holding a sum to 125 basement points, a marketplace is looking up.
State Bank of India is now charity home loans during 9.55%, compared with Housing Development Finance Corporation's 9.65% a year. Women borrowers get loans during 5 basement indicate reduce rate. ICICI Bank also followed peers on Wednesday by obscure lending rates to 9.65% a year for loans adult to Rs 5 crore for salaried veteran while women borrowers will get 5 basement points cheaper.
"The several measures taken by a supervision like Smart City, Digital India, Housing for All along with reconstruction in investment and expenditure direct is going to emanate a enlightened height for a genuine estate zone to grow rapidly," pronounced Corporation Bank authority and handling executive SR Bansal.
Prior to this, a mood in a attention was utterly despondent. While a sales volume forsaken by 19% during H1 2015 compared to H1 2014, new launches fell by a whopping 45% during a same period, genuine estate consultants Knight Frank pronounced in a news on India genuine estate covering Jan to Jun 2015.
Demand for both bureau and sell spaces is approaching to wizz going brazen given an softened mercantile expansion would boost net employing by IT/ITeS and banking financial services word sectors. Prime Minister's intelligent city devise is approaching minister to a expansion momentum.
Real estate zone contributes 6-7% to GDP and any transformation is going to assistance a whole economy generally a cement, iron and steel sectors and a pursuit market.
The affordable housing shred is also approaching to see some-more traction given a executive bank has reduced risk weightage on it, that means lenders would need to keep aside reduction capital. That improves profitability. India has a 19 million necessity of home units with roughly 95% of a opening accounts for a affordable housing space.
"The government's Housing for All process and seductiveness subsidy intrigue are going to emanate uninformed demand. The supervision has also lifted a threshold annual income turn for a economy weaker shred and reduce income group, creation a process some-more inclusive," pronounced Sriram Mahadevan during Mahindra Lifespace Developers.
"The executive supervision and a state governments should now work together to accommodate a gap. Establishment of mass and fast ride complement would be a pivotal to a expansion of a affordable housing segment," Sriram . Half of India's race stays out of a cities.
"There has been a long-pending and vast direct for housing, given large a necessity of home units. The obscure of rates would positively assistance borrowers get a finance," pronounced Arun Kaul, who has late as Uco Bank's authority and handling executive in August.

Wiz Khalifa understands how badly Taylors want that 28 Grams he's been promising. So with his mixtape release still looming, he dropped a track that should be just the fix you need.
Drop #28grams soon trap wiz! @wizkhalifa
— Sergey Poroshin (@the_seerrg) May 23, 2014
"Rain" pops off with Trap Wiz unapologetically nodding to his daily kush habit and complaining about how he can't stand "fake n—as." As Missy Elliott's Timbaland-produced '90s classic "(The Rain) Supa Dupa Fly" provides the backdrop, the 'Burgh MC mouths off.
"Clique full of psychos/ Goon in some tight clothes / Me? my paper's straight, no typos," Wiz boasts before expounding on his work ethic. "I'm in the studio all night / Make sure the sh– you call a dream is what I really call my life."
When we caught up with Wiz earlier this month in Anaheim, California, he told us his 28 Grams tape is shaping up to be a classic, in line with offerings like his Cabin Fever series and Kush and Orange Juice. And he hinted at why the free projects tend to get the reception they do.
"I feel like all my mixtapes, they just speak to the time that I'm at in my life," the Taylor Gang captain explained, "as well as my albums do, but I get to be a little more free and [have] more fun with my mixtapes. I'm more experimenting with albums."

Justin Bieber Accused of Attempted Robbery of a Cell Phone
Justin Bieber has been accused of allegedly attempting to rob a woman of her cell phone, TMZ reports. Police are now investigating into the incident.
Justin Bieber has been accused of allegedly attempting to rob a woman of her cell phone, TMZ reports. Police are now investigating into the incident.
Is Justin Bieber facing a felony charge? Reports say that according to the prosecutor handling the house egging case, that's exactly what the singer deserves.
Is Justin Bieber actually dating someone other than his mostly-off-again ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez? The cozy photos with his new gal pal Yovanna Ventura seem to say so.
After signing with Katy Perry's management team, it looks like Selena Gomez has been taken under the 'Birthday' singer's wing. If the sources at HollywoodLife are to be believed, Perry has reached out to Gomez to offer her advice about Justin Bieber and her career.
Selena Gomez may have a lot on her mind at the moment and it seems she's pouring it all out in the best way she knows how: song. The 21-year-old singer posted two raw Instagram videos of herself singing her heart out with nothing but a microphone and piano keyboard accompanying her.
Selena Gomez raised eyebrows after seemingly dropping Kendall and Kylie Jenner as friends post-Coachella, purging her Instagram account of all pictures with them. While the deletion was first explained as a way to remove negative influences in her life, now sources are claiming that the real reason Gomez defriended Kylie was because she was texting Justin Bieber.
Did Justin Bieber just release another new song, 'We Were Born for This?' It appears that he has. It's a largely acoustic, gentle song that is anchored by his falsetto. In the song, he sings about unconditional love, about being here to stay and about how real love doesn't (and can't) go unrecognized.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's current relationship status may be a little murky, but that hasn't stopped the Biebs from reminiscing about the good times he has had with the 'Come & Get It' singer.
Justin Bieber is no stranger to committing cultural gaffes, and we're not talking about his recent drama in Miami.
Justin Bieber is clearly enjoying his time in California, judging by a series of recent Instagram shots.

Background: Genetic factors are well known to play an important role in determining individual differences in the metabolism of ethanol (EtOH), and several specific polymorphic loci have been identified that significantly contribute to the variability of EtOH metabolism in humans. However, these variant genes are either alcohol or aldehyde dehydrogenases, and the identification of new gene products that contribute to variation in alcohol metabolism would be useful.
Methods: To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs), we correlated variation in polymorphic markers with blood EtOH concentration and the rate of EtOH metabolism (β) in C57BL/6J and DBA/2J strains and in 25 of their recombinant inbred strains after 2 and 3 g/kg of EtOH intraperitoneally.
Results: A QTL associated with β values for both doses was definitively mapped to the proximal region of chromosome 17, syntenic with human chromosome 6q25–27. Seven to 12 chromosomal regions were provisionally identified for each phenotype; several were associated with 2 or more phenotypes. Each QTL suggests the location of a gene or genes affecting EtOH pharmacokinetics. Candidate genes suggested by these analyses included several whose gene products are known to be induced by EtOH (e.g., superoxide dismutase, glutathione transferase, and cytochrome P450 2E1), as well as several whose gene products have signaling functions likely to contribute to this induction.
Conclusions: These studies provide evidence for the existence of genes affecting EtOH metabolism in multiple chromosomal regions. Future studies will be required to identify the chromosome 17 gene product. Use of other genetic populations, such as B6D2F2 crosses, will be required to determine which of the provisional loci represent true and which represent false-positive associations.

I have been looking for the right quilt for my bedroom for over a year, and this is it! Great colors, nicely made (in India), and a great weight for summer sleeping if you like more than just a sheet. Plus the black hair from my Labrador won't show up ion it! So glad I got this and recommend it.

We've been looking for a bedspread for our guest bedroom for a long, long time. Well, Orvis has certainly provided us with a variety of wonderful choices and we decided on this color scheme as our purchase. Excellent colors, construction, texture and blend of warm, welcoming look and feel. Best buy and value around!

This quilt is wonderful. Long lasting quality and so comfortable. I'm purchasing it a second time as my first one has finally worn out after 10 years. Dogs sleep on it too and it still stays looking great.

I'm very pleased with the quality and size of the quilt. It's large enough on a double bed to cover the box springs so I don't need to use a bed skirt.
Great Quilt -

I am very happy with this quilt. It washed extremely well, the colors are perfect so it looks great in my room. It was a good value.
Worth Waiting For -
By: 1busybee from New Hampshire
I have a queen size bed with a 20" mattress and wanted something that would fit and still show my dust ruffle. I ordered the King and it fit perfectly. The colors are beautiful and will blend with any decor. Very pleased with the quality workmanship.
Great quality -
By: tacopizza from Iowa
I bought this quilt for a queen sized bed but purchased a king quilt. I fold the extra length back then put the pillows on. I love this look! Hey Orvis ...wish there was a matching shower curtain for my adjoining bathroom.
