Spiritual Dimensions of Fabric Art - Exhibit at Columbia Theological Seminary
Decatur, GA. "Inspiration: Spiritual Dimensions of Fabric Art" is the theme of an exhibit featuring the works of Martha Jane Petersen, in the Harrington Center on the Columbia Theological Seminary campus through July 31, 2011.
An ordained Presbyterian pastor and a graduate of Columbia, Rev. Petersen says that she regards her art as a form of ministry, a visual proclamation of the Gospel. "Whereas some people feed hungry bodies," she says, "my deep desire is to feed hungry spirits through art." She has been making fabric art since she took a two-week workshop at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina in 1996. There, a nationally known quilt artist taught that "anything goes" in a wall hanging. "It was tremendously freeing," she says.
Rev. Petersen has led numerous retreats and workshops on art, spirituality, and the creative process. Her quilts have been exhibited in juried and non-juried shows in the Southeast, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. She is a member of the Montreat, NC, Arts Council, the Asheville, NC, Quilt Guild, the Fiber Arts Alliance of Western North Carolina, and the Swannanoa Valley Fine Arts League.
Rev. Petersen holds DMin and ThM degrees from Columbia Seminary. Now retired in Black Mountain, NC, she and her husband pastor a small church nearby.
Visitors are welcome to view the exhibit between 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday – Friday. For more information about the exhibit, call 404-687-4577 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ole Smoky in Racing Partnership
Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine, whose recipes are rooted in a bygone era of outrunning the law, has found a way to try to outrun its competition by focusing its marketing programs on the fans and back-road racers who originally made moonshine a big part of American folklore. In 2014, Ole Smoky will partner with Team Lucas for a comprehensive advertising/marketing and sponsorship program encompassing nearly 150 grassroots racing events across America's heartland.
Ole Smoky's Original Moonshine will be a key presence at nine Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series events, 30 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series races, ten Lucas Oil Drag Boat Series events, 30 Lucas Oil Pro-Pulling League stops and 40 Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series dates.
Of the partnership with Lucas Oil, Ole Smoky CMO Frank Guernsey said, "We look forward to reaching our consumers all across America by teaming up with Team Lucas' extremely successful racing programs. Team Lucas' on-site event organization and network television coverage is totally in line with the heritage of the Ole Smoky brand and products."
Lucas Oil executive vice president Bob Patison says, "Ole Smoky Moonshine is about as American as you can get, and its customers dovetail with many of our Team Lucas on-site events and high-action television programming designed to reach the greatest number of fans and viewers.

The Natural Moral Lawby Owen Anderson
The Natural Moral Law argues that the good can be known and that therefore the moral law, which serves as a basis for human choice, can be understood. Proceeding historically through ancient, modern, and postmodern thinkers, Owen Anderson studies beliefs about the good and how it is known, and how such beliefs shape claims about the moral law. The focal challenge is whether the skepticism of postmodern thinkers can be answered in a way that preserves knowledge claims about the good. Considering the failures of modern thinkers to correctly articulate reason and the good and how postmodern thinkers are responding to these failures, Anderson argues that there are identifiable patterns of thinking about what is good, some of which lead to false dichotomies. The book concludes with a consideration of how a moral law might look if the good is correctly identified.

Rihanna is not letting go of Chris Brown . According to U.K.'s The Sun , RiRi has booked a five-star villa in her native Barbados for a 'bonding holiday.'
Apparently the Caribbean crooner hopes Brown will convince her circle of friends that he's a changed man and that she was right to take him back.
Rihanna is also flying out Chris' mother to the island so both families can spend time together.
"The more the public criticize Rihanna for getting back with Chris, the more determined she is to do whatever she wants… they're unrepentant and they want to show the whole world that they've moved on from what happened in 2009," a source says.
What do you think about these two reuniting in the Caribbean? Share your opinions, below…

A Quote by Julia Child on cooking, creativity, justice, music, people, and pleasure
Some people like to paint pictures, or do gardening, or build a boat in the basement. Other people get a tremendous pleasure out of the kitchen, because cooking is just as creative and imaginative an activity as drawing, or wood carving, or music.

Having already completed a comprehensive test programme over a number of days at Snetterton, the team moved to the Kent circuit in preparation for the next FIA World Touring Car Championship event in the USA.
With both Tom Chilton's and James Nash's race cars in transit from Brazil to California, the third Focus was once again centre of attention as the team got to work with upgrades, set-up changes and further evaluation of the car.
Chilton and Nash reporting positive changes made to the car as they look ahead to the next round in Sonoma.
Team Principal Mike Earle said: "It was another positive test for us. We have two very capable drivers in Tom and James who are able to make their way through a detailed test programme both in and out of the car.
"We learned a lot more about the Ford Focus this week as we continue to develop it over the course of our maiden year in the World Touring Car Championship.
"We're very lucky to have this third car; the team worked tirelessly at the start of the year to get the two race cars complete and then they were able to put their efforts into this – it really is testimony to the great people we have working for us."

Fun trivia game with a sense of humor. Work your way to the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame while trying to avoid Disco Purgatory. I especially like the fact that the trivia questions are multiple choice, allowing everyone an opportunity to answer some of the more obscure questions. Definitely nostalgic.
If you're just itching for the chance to show off your encyclopedic knowledge of 30 years of pop music trivia, or even if you just like to listen to oldies on the radio, you'll enjoy this nostalgic sojourn around a guitar-shaped board. In addition to hundreds of questions relating to specific decades, you'll also find memory teasers in the categories of One Hit Wonder, Hall of Fame, Real Name, Rock 'n' Roll Eternity, and everyone's favorite, Disco Purgatory. This game is great for getting people to hum those old tunes (because they can't remember the words?) as they try to come up with the answer Since questions are all multiple-choice, everyone gets a fighting chance.
For the Record will surely "Help" you relax during a "Hard Day's Night"!

I for one find the idea of a 24-hour news cycle exciting. Increasingly, we turn to the web or cable news for the quick hit of what is going on at the moment, getting the details later from the newspaper or perhaps another, less in-depth, media. Cable news pioneered the idea of the 24 news cycle in the 1980s when the Cable News Network launched. Cable news has gotten very good at covering the big story of the day while it is going on. We expect them to be covering the big story when we turn to their station, in order to not disappoint the viewer they will cover the same story for hours on end, regardless if there is anything to report, or if they actually know what they are covering to be true or not. They frequently get burned doing this. A few weeks ago they reported attacks in Washington D.C. that were in fact just a drill. Last week the story of the moment was the case of balloon boy Falcon Heene. The images of the disk shaped craft drifting over the western United States made dramatic footage. The father Richard Heene "thought" his son was in the balloon. For two hours Americans watch and hoped for the best. It is now believed that the father watched and hoped for his own reality show. Everyone involved jumped to conclusions without any facts. Did anyone bother to ask if a craft that small could even get off the ground with a six year-old on board? With the craft safely back on the ground, the non-stop story has now turned to the father, who was seeking publicity, and unfortunately, is now getting it. As a country we are still fighting two wars, trying to rebuild the economy after the worst recession in decades and trying to figure out a way that people can go to the doctor when they are sick, all apparently not as important as a boy who was not in a balloon. My daughters were not in the balloon either; lets do a story on them. I mainly stay away from cable news, even though I am a certifiable news junkie, I can't stand all the yelling and I really don't care about distant dysfunctional families. Not ones named Jackson, not ones with eight kids, not even ones that name their kids after birds and build flying saucers in their back yards. I saw a tape yesterday of Jon Gosselin commenting on the balloon boy story — will it never end? It will end when the next "big" story comes along and the satellite trucks and talking heads move on to the next "must see" idiot's front yard.

Is Aubrey McClendon Selling Off His Prized Wine?
Even though the market for collectible wines is slumping, Sotheby's recently announced it will sell off 9,000 bottles in two auctions in March and April. The sale is titled "Classic Cellar from a Great American Collector."
It is large by any standard. But what really caught my eye was the statement in Sotheby's news release that the sale is a "single owner collection," meaning that it is all coming from one seller's cellar.
Who is this "Great American Collector?" And why would he or she try to unload 9,000 bottles at a time when wine prices are collapsing?
Sotheby's won't say. Jamie Ritchie, head of Sotheby's North American wine department, was uncharacteristically silent when I asked about the seller. "Sorry, I just can't comment," he said.
According to three people familiar with the auction, the seller is Aubrey McClendon, chief executive of Chesapeake Energy. These people say at least one other broker kicked the tires on Mr. McClendon's collection before it went to Sotheby's.
Mr. McClendon is one of the top wine collectors in the country, known for his love of Burgundy and Bordeaux. He also is known for his cash crunch. Last fall, he was forced to sell 94% of his stake in Chesapeake to pay back margin loans. Mr. McClendon's stake once was valued at more than $2 billion. So it wouldn't be surprising if he were to want to liquidate some of his, er, liquid assets.
Mr. McClendon, through a spokesman, didn't respond to a request for comment.
Sotheby's says it expects the sale to fetch at least $5 million–not much for a former billionaire, but these days every little million helps.
It also remains to be seen whether the auction will be a success. An article in the San Francisco Chronicle quotes experts saying that lot prices for wines at auction have fallen as much as 30% since the summer. Some bottles, like 1986 Leoville-Las-Cases, averaged around $360 a bottle in the past two years but are now trading closer to $200. (For those interested in current wine prices, Steve Bachmann of Vinfolio has an informative blog analyzing auctions, valuations and advice for sellers and buyers).
The McClendon collection may fare better than others. It features more than 1,500 bottles of Domaine de la Romanee Conti–a favorite Chateaux of the nouveaux that has held up relatively well in price. The collection also has plenty of Mouton Rothschild, Margaux and Lafite, also blue-chip names.
What is more, Sotheby's is hedging its bets by splitting the auction in two, with half being offered in New York and half in Hong Kong. While U.S. collectors are pulling back, Hong Kong collectors have proven more resilient, with recent auctions there posting healthy results. (Sotheby's is shipping 4,000 or more of the bottles in temperature-controlled containers to Hong Kong, something it has never done before).
Mr. McClendon may be the biggest wine seller so far in the financial crisis, but he most certainly won't be the last. With many collectors running light on cash, I suspect more and more will turn to their wine cellars in search of real liquidity.

Middle English: from Old French torche, from Latin torqua, variant of torques 'necklace, wreath', from torquere 'to twist'. The current verb sense was originally US slang and dates from the 1930s.
A torch in the original sense of 'something soaked in an inflammable substance used to give light' was often made of twisted hemp or other fibres. This is still the American meaning, and reflects the word's Latin origin, torquere 'to twist'. Only in British English can torch describe a battery-powered electric lamp, which Americans call a flashlight. A torch song is a sad or sentimental song of unrequited love, whose name, used since the 1920s, comes from the phrase carry a torch for, 'to love someone who does not love you in return'. The image in pass on the torch, 'to pass on a tradition, especially one of learning or enlightenment', is that of the runners in a relay race passing on the torch to each other, as was the custom in the ancient Greek Olympic Games. The Latin source of torch, torquere, is found in a large number of other English words. Most obviously it is the source of the engineer's torque (late 19th century), and the twisted Celtic neck-ring the torc (mid 19th century). Less obviously it is in contort (Late Middle English) 'twist together'; distort (Late Middle English) 'twist out of shape'; extort (early 16th century) 'twist out of'; and retort (Late Middle English) 'to twist back' (the chemical apparatus gets its name from its twisted shape). Tortura 'twisting, torment' the Latin noun formed from the verb gives us torture and tortuous (both LME), and torment (Middle English). Thwart (Middle English) is an Old Norse word that goes back to the same Indo-European root.

Skip to comments.WE'RE NOT SORRY
Posted on 11/07/2004 8:47:53 AM PST by fuzzy122
WE'RE NOT SORRY that George W. Bush is our President!
A majority of us went out and voted on Nov. 2nd for President Bush.
There is no reason for us to apologize to the rest of the world because of our belief in Freedom and Democracy.
This website is for those of us who want to say to our fellow Americans that we believe in the President Bush and we believe in his agenda.
(Excerpt) Read more at werenotsorry.com ...
ah hehehehehe
The guy doing the pouty lip thing... LOL! Did those sorryeverybody people actually think that better conveyed an apology?
I've thought for some time that the EU "hatred" of Pres.
Bush is to be laid at the feet of those nations' media, just as it has been here! These nationalities only know what they see/read in the paper/TV.
Hey, if our guys fighting in Iraq tell us the media like CNN are lying to the nation back home, or deliberately OMITTING the positives, why should we disbelieve this same propagana is being distributed abroad?
Not sorry over here Boss!
OOOh. Where do you live? I could probably carry that off here in Arizona. Some places, I'd bet, you could lose a window for that. LOL
ROTFLOL I LOVE THIS SITE! BTW Please include A.'s great photo! :)
LOL! It's bumper sticker material after your run-in with that clown, isn't it, antaresequity? :)
GREAT response to the "We're Sorry" appeasement weinies!
Heh heh heh. Love it!
Whoa.... Never saw that map before.
Still looks a lot more red than blue, though.
You two might inflict some real damage on that site!
Great picture!!
My wife and I were in Barcelona in October. While there we met an Irish couple in a restaurant, and we started chit-chatting. Then, emboldened by their European group-think, they felt they just had to tell us how they didn't like President Bush.
I don't want to bore you with the details, but let me tell ya, I gave them a speech, part of which included the points that, I don't care what they think, that they are all deluded thinking that "nobody likes Bush," that the President would win re-election (which they found unbelievable), and that I'm sick and tired that Americans keep spending our blood and our treasure to save their sorry asses and make the world safe for them to be smug.
It felt good then. It feels better now.
ROFL The slideshow was awesome Capn, loved the music.
The point of that map is a great one.
Elimate the Goron/Kerry Rat inner cities and there is very little support for Kerry and the rat party.
Everyone thinks that the West Coast was solid for Kerry. It wasn't. This map shows that.
That site that is saying "sorry to the world" is so anti American its horrible.
Think of it, my gosh thats so outrageous I think all our ancestors are turning in their graves.

Please, you must hear what Christopher in Northern Ireland had to say on Rush's radio show.
It brought tears to my eyes.
Stay Strong,
They put my pic on there!:
Hah! I heard that call, he was great. He was actually calling from Northern Ireland, where my relatives were from, he had that really harsh accent. I felt like he was channeling my grandmother from the world beyond. It was AMAZING!
And remember what he said about the newspaper poll? 90% or something like that FOR Bush? Great stuff!
Of course, the IRA stopped a lot of crap after 9/11, I guess SOME terrorists actually still have functioning brains. I guess they didn't want Tony calling W and saying, Could you help my out with these Irish Terrorists old chap?
Here in Marin County I have adopted a standard reply to the lunatic left when they begin commiserating their loss:
I don't care how you feel, and definitely don't want your opinion. State your facts and make an argument. Otherwise shut up. America won, and you lost; get over it.
Fuzzy, I listened to the whole thing--and I'm going to play it for my wife.
If this election has shown us anything, it's that there are a lot more people here and in the world who "get it."
Thanks for posting this.
Wow Capn, great work on the back to Mass./BeeGees thingy. I just emailed it to my lib sister in Austin :o)
Great website. Now we need to see one called
Libs need to get over it now and move on now
That's so excellent, Meek!
I love it.
You're very welcome!
Many people came and heard Christopher in Northern Ireland!
You watched and learned about KERRY'S TREASON!, and more.
And about President Bush's character and strength.
We spread the word!!
There was a link to a page I put together full of video and audio links.
"Stolen Honor" video clips are at the top.
The Swiftvets news conference on C-SPAN was there.
An interview of Steve Gardner (the gunner that served under Kerry) is next and then the SwiftVets.com ads
There are many other links.
I put together a page of info here about Kerry.
You armed yourself with ALL the facts. Then enlightened others - and spread the knowledge.
As a result we get Gloatfest 2004
If you have a few minutes to spend - check out my 9/11 memorial page and turn up your speakers to hear "Have You Forgotten?"

How about coloring all the punched out counties blue (different than the flag's blue) so we can have a whole bunch of new lakes?
I tried different colors in the background, it just didn't look right. hmmm...
I am sending a high resolution image of this to anyone who freeps mail me. If you want to play around, just ask.
Stay Strong,
Thank you. :^D
Could be, but that might be a bit too easy to discover. My guess is all the 'good advice' Kerry got from Bill wasn't. ;)
Neither. Ireland was "neutral".
Yeah it's OKAY to GLOAT! and thanks for the laugh - it's OK to LAUGH too! ;o)
Consider it a bit of a pay back for all the lies and grief

Try "config::" instead of "config:" in your main makefile.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll try to post pics of this pair of socks once I'm done, and my next pair so we can compare
Never done those myself, but one thing I remember reading about them is that it's common for the inner sock to turn out smaller -- just the problem you want to avoid! So I definitely think it's a good idea that you want to swatch first. Your other option is to just start both socks at the same time on separate sets of DPNs and go back and forth between them. If you've got an extra set, that may be easier.
There is no right way to knit; there is no wrong way to knit. So if anybody kindly tells you that what you are doing is "wrong," don't take umbrage; they mean well. Smile submissively, and listen, keeping your disagreement on an entirely mental level. They may be right, in this particular case, and even if not, they may drop off pieces of information which will come in very handy if you file them away carefully in your brain for future reference.

Small Tsunami Waves Hit Japan After 7.3-Magnitude Earthquake
From NBC News
Tsunami waves up to 3 feet high hit the coast of Japan Friday, after a strong earthquake in the sea that shook buildings 300 miles away in Tokyo.
The temblor was registered at a magnitude of 7.3 and struck at 5:18 p.m. local time (3:18 a.m. ET), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake hit in the same area as the devastating quake and tsunami in March last year that killed nearly 20,000 people and triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis in 25 years.
Friday's quake struck about 200 miles southeast of Kamaishi, the USGS said. The epicenter was 6.2 miles beneath the seabed, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Buildings in Tokyo swayed for at least several minutes, but there were no early reports of damage or injuries.
Coastal residents told to flee to higher ground
NHK television broke off regular programming to warn that a strong quake was due to hit shortly before the impact was felt. Afterward, the announcer repeatedly urged all near the coast to flee to higher ground.
The quake triggered a tsunami warning for the Miyagi Prefecture, which was at the center of the 2011 disaster. It also sparked tsunami advisories for Pacific Coast areas of several other prefectures.
But by 5:20 a.m. ET, two hours after the quake, the Japan Meteorological Agency had canceled all tsunami advisories and warnings.
Still, a batch of tsunami waves, measuring about 3 feet tall, hit the town of Ishinomaki, in Miyagi Prefecture, about an hour after the earthquake, according to Japanese television. Another tsunami wave, measuring about a foot tall, was detected at Ofunato.
"I was in the center of the city the very moment the earthquake struck. I immediately jumped into the car and started running away towards the mountains. I'm still hiding inside the car," Ishinomaki resident Chikako Iwai told Reuters.
"I have the radio on and they say the cars are still stuck in the traffic. I'm planning to stay here for the next couple of hours," Iwai said.
A 6.2-magnitude aftershock struck at about 3:31 a.m. ET, but no damage or injuries were immediately reported.
Devastating 2011 quake and tsunami
The magnitude-9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami that slammed into northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011 devastated much of the coast.
All but two of Japan's nuclear plants were shut down for checks after the earthquake and tsunami caused meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear plant in the worst nuclear disaster since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
The government declared in December that the disaster was under control, but much of the area is still free of population.
Tokyo Electric Power, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant, reported no irregularities at its nuclear plants after Friday's quake.

A Perfect Comforter
I bought the king size comforter and love it. The construction is great quality with good stitching all around. The piping is done just right and give it a perfect look if you were to use it w/o a duvet. The fabric is soft and smooth like 700 tc should be, and the baffle design keeps the down evenly distributed. The size is just right; it hangs over the sides about 8 inches and the foot about 6 inches. I bought a duvet to keep the comforter crisp white and protected as I have an indoor/outdoor cat who sleeps inside and brings in a yard full of dirt at the end of the day and it fit perfectly. I actually bought the duvet 2 inches narrower than the comforter and it fills it out perfectly with no excess fabric on any edge. Perfect! The weight is perfect as well. You don't feel as though it's so heavy you can't move, but you don't feel like you're laying under some inferior light-weight summer throw either. A great purchase.Read More
unthinkable construction!
Since purchase, this has been one of the worst and most maddening purchases I have ever made - and it's not inexpensive! Here's the problem: each of the baffles has one corner where it is not stitched closed - an approximately six inch opening for the down to go wherever it pleases. This causes most of the down to fill up squares around the edges, leaving (quite literally) no down fill in the baffles over our bodies. I called Overstock and was told "it's supposed to be like that. Why is it, then, that I wake up cold, with almost all of the baffles over the sides and bottom of the bed packed tight, really tight, with down fill. Looks like the saddlebags of a camel caravan! Overstock suggest "fluffing occasionally" I have been fluffing, hitting with a yardstick daily, which is an absurd use of my time. It is the worst! If I had anything to do with management at Overstock, I would contact everyone who mistakenly purchased this comforter and offer a proper replacement or refund. But because that does not seem to be in the cards, Caveat Emptor - do not purchase this comforter!Read More
Box design does NOT stay together
I've just started using this comforter with the cooler weather and learned very quickly that the down floats to the side edges just like all the other cheap brands. The stitching with the box design isn't all the way thru or it's just come loose and in the middle you end up with litle down - a HUGE disappointment for such an expensive item.Read More
Excellent Comforter
I reviewed a lot of comforters on this site before selecting this one & VERY glad that I did. This goose down comforter is well worth the money. It is very, very comfy & QUITE warm, won't need more then this on your bed! The quality of the material is great, very soft, just snuggle right up. I purchased the king for a queen sized bed & it is very plentiful in size, would fit a king bed just fine. If you purchase this one you will Enjoy!Read More
Definitely not 650 fill power
I decided on this one mainly because of the fill power. I like my down comforters to look full and I like being able to see the box stich. The thread count was just an added bonus. After it arrived I could tell that I wasn't getting what I thought just by looking at the bag. After pulling it out and shaking and fluffing it did not puff out as I had hoped. There are some squares that did fill up nicely, but many of the others are quite flat. The fabric quality is nice and it definitely has a smell, but I'm sure that will go away. If you are not looking for an extremely fluffy comforter this might be the one for you. Ratings: Appearance, based on overall look with some boxes looking much fuller than others. Comfort, based on the fact that I thought I was getting something much heavier. The fabric doesn't have any kind of design to it but does feel nice. I still think it was a good deal, but I originally thought I was getting a steal!Read More
Questions & Answers
I can't answer if Overstock ships to China, but do know that the comforter is 650 fill power goose down, which is a light and fluffy down. The higher the fill power, the lighter the down. The lighter the down is, the warmer the down is. The full/queen comforter is 45 oz. of 650 fill power goose down. Ten-12 degree centigrade is around 50 degrees F. For me, this would be ample warmth. I once purchased a higher fill power comforter and gave it away because it was too hot for me.
I have the same question that was asked but not yet answered by Christine on July 29 ,2016. Is this 100% goose down? Or is it a specified % goose down and % feathers mix. I will not consider purchasing until I know.
The cardboard inside the bag the comforter came in says down fillings, but does not specify which type of down. The tag sewn onto the comforter states luxury down; (minimum down 75% by law), and filling: 100% natural down.
is this made of 100% goose down, if not what is the filling made of. thank you.
What is your warmest all down, Siberian or Hungarian ,Queen size comforter? High ounce fill count, 700 power loft. Thank you, Marci
Hello Marci, the highest warmth factor would be the most fill weight. The Siberian type or Hungarian type are very similar and I have not found any specific evidence that states one is warmer than the other - it is the region of the world where the down is from. The colder the region, the more down the goose or duck produces. Have a great day!
Would you consider this one of your a heaviest down comforter?
Hello Ame, this has a fill power of 650 which is considered to provides maximum warmth with minimal weight. A fill power of 700 to 750 provides the warmest level with the lightest weight. The Warmth rating: is Extra-warmth. We have included a link to our extra warm down comforters. We hope this helps. Thank you for shopping with us.http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Down-Comforters/White-Down,Extra-Warmth,/fill-type,warmth-rating,/756/subcat.html
Why did you choose this product?
warmest of the group
Best product and reviews.
I already own this and I like it so much I'm giving this one as a gift. My friend, like me, sleeps in an unheated bedroom. Here in the Sierra Nevadas, we get 9 months of 'winter' weather, with particularly cold nights. The ONLY good way to stay warm is with wool and down.
fill power and white goose down. I hope it is as good as it sounds!
I want to try this brand
I already own one of these that I love. The sizing Is perfect for my king size sleigh bed. It is well made and it is not so heavy that it can't be used in warmer weather. The comforter I'm using is still in great shape but I wanted another just in case this one becomes unavailable.
I liked the Hungarian White Goose Down
Ratings from previous purchasers
Priced other comforters of similar quality and found this to be the best for the money
highest fill power in this site. + Hungarian white goose make the best comforters in my opinion
Have had this product before (in a different size), very nice comforter.
It appears extremely comfortable and warm.
High thread count and hungarian goose down
cost and quality
Good review ,great price !
I wanted to try a different brand other then the ones I get from my local store and shipper too!!
Best comments and ratings for a down comforter
The thread count
It's the best down for a comforter and it lasts
is it correct that the baffles are not closed? that would allow the down to float between baffles and ultimately settle where it shouldn't .
It's difficult to say, but after wiggling it around and using Google, I believe the comforter does have baffle boxes; if it does not have "true" baffle boxes, then they are constructed so that the movement of down is very restricted. I tried to wiggle down from one box to another and struggled. Also, I have owned this comforter for a few months and regularly toss it into the air/fluff it - I haven't noticed any shifting of down or the creation of cold spots so far (if this changes, I will update my response).
Hello cls213, the baffles are stitched closed. Thanks for shopping with us!
I would like to purchase two of this product. However, can it be used together with a regular queen size duvet cover?I am concerned about the comforter and the duvet cover measurements matching each other. Thank you in advance.
Hello star06, thank you for your inquiry.We recommend to compare the sizes for the duvet cover you prefer to use it with. Most queen size duvets may be to wide to fit properly. Thank you for shopping with us.
How long is the warranty?
Hello AT, thank you for your inquiry. There is no warranty for this item. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Comforter is made in the USA, according to description. Please, clarify if the filling materials (goose down)is from USA as well? I need to make sure no part of down comforter comes from China. Thanks!
Hello edavt04, the material is made from China. Thanks for shopping with us!
Is the comforter okay to use during the summer as in does it keep cool or gets hot?
Hello Jb, this comforter would be warm to use in the summer months. It is designed to keep you warm even if it is cool to the touch. Thank you for shopping with us.
I wouldn't recommend this blanket for the summer time. It's great for the winter time but it causes me to sweat sometimes even in the winter if it's not too cold out.
I shop here pretty regularly. I was just about to order this, & saw the question regarding no tags. This appears to have all the qualities I want, but do want to know what the story is regarding no tags, Thank you
Hello India, probably the comforter is made for a number of different brands that put their tags on the comforter. What is important is the comforter has 714 reviews and a star rating of 4.5 which is indicative of the quality.
It is a nice quality comforter, but it's almost to heavy.
Mine was a dud, sorry.
regarding the baffle construction, is each "box" completely closed, or are the corners open so that the down can go between boxes?
Hello lisa, each box is stitched closed. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
Yes closed stitching. My only issue was that its very heavy.
NO,they are not fully closed, the other people are wrong. They have a few inches open in each box. My down shifts to the very edges a lot and has lots empty boxes now.
What is the weight of queen size?
Hello clare, the weight is approximately 8 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us!
I have purchased this product and am confused. We already purchased a king size Hotel Grand Down Comforter that has a corner tag on it stating "Hotel Grand". The Queen I just purchased does not. Is this telling me that I got the wrong item?
Hello snape4122, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Yea I was wondering the same there are no tags on mine that indicate is it actually the item I paid for. I have no idea if it really is 700 thread count and what the fill ounces are. the bag it came in has no identifying factors to it.
I can't find a duvet cover that fits 108 X 98. Has anyone found one?
Hello kelbel987, a 108 x 98 is the equivalent of a king size, so you would choose the king option on this duvet. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
OK, I was able to find only 2, that is right TWO duvet covers that will fit this duvet. I can not believe how poorly every website sells their duvets and covers. They are almost all different sizes, so it took me hours upon hours to go through each and every link I could find to get the description. How could it be that websites dont have a search by size option? Blows my mind. OK, now after my rant :) Here is the only two duvet covers I have found out there that fit this duvet. Got the duvet btw and LOVE IT! PS, Overstock customer Service, you sent me the link to the DUVET I bought and did not answer this question. * - Hotel Comfort 2000 Duvet Cover Set- King/California King * - Brielle 100-percent Egyptian Cotton Sateen Premium Duvet Cover, 630 Thread Count, King
******* ****'* duvets run a bit bigger than the measurements they give. They also has inside ties so you sew loops on the corner and sides of comforter to keep it from shifting too much. This is the reason why I am buying this comforter in hopes it will fill out my duvet from PB. Their comforters are $***.**. Good luck!! I will try to write a review when I get my comforter.
Overall how many ounces of down does a king size comforter contain?
Hello skzeeb, the king comforter contains 55 ounces of fill. I hope this information helps. Thank you for shopping with us! Shelia B
How do you clean it? Dry clean?
Thank you for your question dkc1966. The Hotel Grand Naples 700 TC Extra Warmth Hungarian White Goose Down Comforter is machine washable. Have a great day.
Wash in oversize washer and dry in the dryer with three tennis balls to fluff it back up.
What is the fill power in this comforter Thanks
Hello jdulanto, this has 650 fill power. Thank you for shopping with us.
Either ours was defective or just not effective. Not enough fill,not extra warm, stay away from this product, not worth the money
Do this product have warranty?
Hello, ominea. Hope your day is going well. Unfortunately, there is no warranty on this item. We apologize. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Shopping Tips & Inspiration
Duvets vs Down Comforters
When you're decorating a bedroom, bedding is one of the most important choices. Duvets and down comforters look similar, but have different benefits. Before you choose, make sure your selection suits your climate, budget, decor style, and laundry preferences. With the right bed covering, you can sleep comfortably and enjoy easy maintenance.
Best Way to Wash a Down Comforter
Bedding sets filled with real or alternative down are snugly and soft, and they keep you warm when there's a chill in the air. It's hard not to love your down comforter, but no matter what size comforter you place on your bed, at some point, it accumulates too much grime and requires a good washing. Before you attempt to clean it, read these helpful tips for properly cleaning your cozy bed cover.

Dear WordPress staff,
I really like WordPress 2.6's image caption feature, but it doesn't respect my maximum width for images, which is set to 530 pixels in my functions.php file. Whenever I upload an image, if I use the medium size it's just fine, 530px max. However, if I ask it add a caption below, it adds 10 pixels more, going to 540 pixels. I don't want that.
Can you fix it, please?

PITTSBURG -- Keisha Sunga has a whole new perspective on white sand beaches and the sex life of squid, thanks to a talk about the wonders of the ocean and the need to protect it by explorer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau.
"It's pretty crazy ... all that (sand) on the beach. I didn't know that squid died after they do their business. It's a whole different world," Sunga, a junior at Pittsburg High, said after learning much of the white sand on beaches is derived from the excrement of parrot fish, who ingest tiny bits of coral while feeding on algae, and that squid die after spawning.
Such nuggets of information were shared by Cousteau during a presentation that included clips from his documentaries.
More than 1,000 students from Antioch High, Deer Valley High, Dozier-Libbey Medical High, Mount Diablo High, Gateway High, Pittsburg High and Synergy Charter School attended the talk at the Creative Arts Building at Pittsburg High School.
The 75-year-old oceanographer and environmentalist encouraged students to think about every action they took and its impact on the ocean, along with the rain and snow that ends up in rivers that flow back into the ocean.
"We are using the ocean as a garbage can. We need to stop that. We are connected to the ocean one way or another -- when you drink a glass of water you are connected to the ocean," said the Cousteau, the son of ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau.
In response to a question from a student on what was it like to be a world explorer, Cousteau said, "There are thousands and thousands of species that have yet to be discovered. How can you protect what you don't understand? ... When people ask me, what was your best expedition, I always say the next one."
Cousteau, the founder of the Ocean Futures Society, a Santa Barbara-based nonprofit marine conservation and education group, was in the Bay Area for a Wednesday evening talk at the Lesher Speaker Series in Walnut Creek. On Thursday, he was to leave for the Bimini Islands to film a documentary on hammerhead sharks.
The school event was sponsored by the Contra Costa Water District, Delta Diablo, Golden State Water, Republic Services and Dow Chemical.
Tyler Trent and Angel Casey, who are in an AP environmental class at Antioch High School, were among those who attended.
"I loved it. It was very good," Trent, a senior, said.
He added that the video clips "were very informative of how the actions we take affect the wildlife in the ocean."
"It made me want to go out and do better," said Casey, a junior. "Everything does come from ocean. I didn't think of that," before the presentation.

The Grasses are Coming to Life
Spring is trying to sneak out from under this winter's cold grasp. Grouse are one bird species that truly celebrate the coming of spring in a big way. Gathering on leks all around the globe, the males dawn their best plumage, rise very early and start to dance and call in their attempts to attract a mate. Leks, typically an area of topography that can be as small as a spot on a log to as big as a couple of acres, come to life just prior to sunrise and then the activity peaks as the sun hits them and then fades away not too long after the sun is shinning on the lek. It's a fascinating right of spring the grouse pursue in their drive to create the next generation.
I've been very fortunate to photograph all the grouse of No America except the Ruff Grouse. These are simply really cool birds I love to watch and photograph. Above are the Greater Prairie Chickens whose mating ritual is dramatic and hilarious all at the same time. Below are the Greater Sage Grouse, large birds that dance up a storm ending when they inflate their air sacs calling for love across the sage. The Sage Grouse are literally in my backyard and I started looking for them this week to see if the annual celebration as begun. It's been real quite so far but signs are it's about to burst. Grouse are generally a long lens, low light, walk very softly photography proposition. Sadly, many leks have been closed off because of human disturbance. But other leks on refuges have tours that I highly encourage you to participate in. If you get hooked on this annual wildlife ritual, hopefully you'll work with biologists to gain access and then share your photos. Many states no longer have any grouse, they've become extinct. Some are listed as endangered and fighting for their existence. The Attwater's Prairie Chicken (below) is one that is just hanging on considering one hundred years ago, there were over a million of them. They all need your photography to tell their unique story!

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2008, 88 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Art, Documentary
Program: Documentary FilmsLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Tom Donahue, Paul Hasegawa-Overacker
Producer: Paul Hasegawa-Overacker, Anura Idupuganti, Tom DonahueEditor: Tom DonahueCinematographer: Dane LawingPrincipal Cast: Cindy Sherman, Paul H-OUS Distributor: Trela Media
MUST END Thursday, May 21
Digital presentation - It's New York City in the early 1990s. Cindy Sherman is the press-wary luminary of contemporary American art. Everyone wants an interview; nobody gets one—with one exception: Paul Hasegawa-Overacker (H-O), the overactive mouthpiece of public-access TV's GalleryBeat. They meet, they flirt, they soon cohabitate. But Sherman's superstar status begins to denigrate H-O. A frustrated artist himself, he is always listed at Manhattan art events as her unnamed guest, never a person in his own right. In Guest of Cindy Sherman, H-O, with codirector Tom Donahue, turns the lens upon himself. The documentary follows the odd couple in some of their most intimate moments, from infatuation and romance to its demise as his male ego takes a bruising. In an irony undoubtedly not lost on H-O, it is in the candid moments with Sherman and the snippets of his interviews with her esteemed contemporaries—including Robert Longo and painter-director Julian Schnabel (Diving Bell and the Butterfly, SDFF 30), whose disdain for H-O's guerilla filmmaking style is palpable—that his story finds its contextual grounding. (Look for a cameo appearance by Elton John's partner David Furnish, who empathizes with H-O's role as the overlooked sidekick to a major celebrity.)
Although Cindy Sherman has disassociated herself from the film, her onscreen presence shines in the footage H-O shot over a span of fifteen years. In particular, her intriguing explanation of the themes in several of her most famous photographic self-portraits wlll engage art lovers, even as the psychological implications of male-female role reversal in a supposedly postfeminist society reveal themselves.

BEVERLY - Beverly/Lowell Post 389/750 has a tradition of opening every season against Pickerington Post 283 on Memorial Day.
This year was no different. Unfortunately for B/L, Pickerington came out on top by sweeping a doubleheader by scores of 6-2 and 9-4.
That was back in May, though. Fast-forward to late-July and both clubs are on their way to the state tournament after breezing through their respective district tournaments. Just as they opened the regular season, the two teams will begin state play against each other. They will square off at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Al Beavers Field in Lancaster.
Article Photos
MIKE MORRISON The Marietta Times
Beverly/Lowell's Gunnar Smith takes a swing during an American Legion baseball game earlier this season at Fort Frye Field. Smith will start at catcher for Beverly/Lowell, which opens state tournament action Wednesday against Pickerington.
"I look for a low-scoring, tight game," said Post 389/750 skipper Todd Engle. "I think that both teams are very similar. (Pickerington coach Chris Weber) does the little things. He likes to squeeze, he likes to do those kinds of things. I look for it to be a really close, low-scoring baseball game."
Both teams will be familiar with their surroundings. Pickerington played its district tournament at Beavers Field, outscoring opponents 43-3 in three games. Beverly/Lowell competed in a Fourth of July tournament at the same venue and won four out of five games, including a 9-1 win over fellow state qualifier Prospect Post 368.
"We're expecting to go over and play well," Engle said. "We kind of got the monkey off our back this year at the Fourth of July tournament. We've not played well at Lancaster ever since they moved the state tournament to Lancaster, but we did have a nice Fourth of July run over there (this year). There's nothing to be intimidated by now. We pretty much know who our opponents are going to be and the quality and level that we're gonna have to play and we're not intimidated by that, so that's a good thing."
Overall, Beverly/Lowell went 1-3 against state-qualifying teams, including a win over Prospect, two losses to Pickerington and a loss to Troy Post 43. B/L would play either Prospect or Troy in its second tournament game on Thursday.
Beverly/Lowell and Pickerington have become regulars at the state tournament in recent years. Both were in it two years ago, Pickerington the eventual champion. Engle's club won it in 2006 and has qualified in several different years since then.
"We would like to think now that our name is kind of thrown in the hat when people are talking about early favorites every year or who's gonna contend (at state)," Engle said.
Beverly/Lowell goes into state having won 18 of its last 20 games and currently owns a 26-13 record. Its strength has been pitching and defense, allowing four runs and committing one error in three district tournament games. The lineup hasn't been too shabby, either. The top half of the order, consisting of Jake Ullman (SS), Ethan Estes (3B), Lance Schafer (CF), Derek Layton (1B) and Gunnar Smith (C) has been clicking lately and helped the team average 8.3 runs per game at district.
With usual No. 6 hitter and left fielder Blake Kidder expected to be on vacation next week, Engle will have to shake up the bottom half of the order. Trent Bradford, Isaac Huffman, Devin Leister and Phillip Hoffman are all options in left. Joel Estes or Kyler Dennis will likely play second and Bryce Gandee will be in right field. Should Engle elect to use Layton as a designated hitter, Austin Hefter and Justin Hill can both play first base. Hill could also see time on the mound.
Engle said he will likely go with right-hander Ben Barnas on the bump against Pickerington. Barnas' most recent outing was a winning effort against St. Clairsville in the district opener. He allowed two runs in 7.2 innings. Barnas also pitched at Beavers Field this season. He was on the mound when B/L defeated Prospect 9-1. He allowed one run in six innings.
"Ben loves to pitch on that mound over there," Engle said. "I'm sure (Pickerington) will throw their No. 1 at us, too, because you've got to win game one. So you're gonna see two quality arms on the field."
The key for Beverly/Lowell will be to continue executing the fundamentals.
"We're young, so we have to do the little stuff," Engle said. "We have to play small ball, we have to take an extra base, we have to hit behind runners. They will show in their play if they're willing to take that extra base or if we're gonna be content with getting a base hit instead of getting a base hit and busting it out of the box and looking to take an extra base. That's how this team has been successful, by doing stuff like that. It's nothing that I do anymore. It's on these guys now.
"We are the home team (Wednesday against Pickerington) which is an advantage. We're gonna get the last swing at it, so we think everything is kind of breaking our way. We're a confident bunch right now."

�I had absolutely no reason to believe that these authority figures would lie and deceive over such a disaster.�
This is a man who revels in a lavishly maintained reputation for speaking truth to power, for refusing to kow-tow to vested interests and who, famously, boasts about informing a Prime Minister that he was poised to empty a �bucket of shit� over him in the aftermath of Black Wednesday.
He is, in other words, a man who actively resists believing what �authority figures� say and, like many journalists, presumes that they are at best massaging facts to suit their own agenda and at worst lying until it has been proven otherwise.
And speaking of journalism, every other paper in the country was also in receipt of the agency copy which contained these accusations and allegations by police officers and the odious Tory grandee Sir Irvine Patnick. Every other editor in the country understood that they were allegations and accusations, not facts and as such far from being �The Truth�. Whatever he may claim from the corner he has been backed into, Kelvin Mackenzie understood this too. He also understood that the headline �Police Accuse Drunken Fans�, with which The Daily Express accurately reported the same story, would not attract as much attention or controversy as �The Truth.� His hunger for attention, his hubris if you like, saw him knowingly report unchecked allegations as truth, self-serving accusations as fact.
But what is most interesting about the line of apology above is what it says only obliquely. While slavishly swallowing the rancid calumnies of policeman and politician alike, what possible reason did Mackenzie - the man of the people, the champion of the downtrodden, the editor Wot Won It � have to believe that every fan, every family, everybody present at Hillsborough would have to �lie and deceive over such a disaster.�
No other editor on Fleet Street, no other journalist in Britain, described these accusations as facts and the simple, unavoidable truth is that Mackenzie chose to. He says �I too was totally misled.� To whom does the �too� refer? The journalist who wrote the story has recorded his horror at the headline under which it appeared, the agency who filed the original copy upon which the story was based have expressed their shock at the disgusting spin applied. There is no �too�, there is no refuge in invented company. Fellow travellers may have subsequently subscribed to the now totally discredited �official� account but they didn�t do it before the bodies of the dead were cold and they did it afterwards only by climbing on to a bandwagon built by Kelvin Mackenzie.
Even now, even after being exposed as having spent 23 years dancing on the graves of children and compounding the misery of the bereaved, he is too wilfully myopic, too caught up in self-regard even to see the true extent and nature of his error. For when he writes that he should have written �The Lies� rather than �The Truth� he shows that he has learned nothing. He should, of course, have written �The Accusations�. Everybody else did. And then he should have set his staff the task of finding out whether the accusations were true or false. It would, I suggest, have taken them considerably less than �two decades, 400,000 documents and a two-year inquiry� to do so. But it would have demanded a desire to find out the truth and Mackenzie did not have that. It is this simple fact, more than anything, which will see him remembered not only as the worst kind of human but also as the worst kind of journalist. It says more about him than even his pathetic apology that he will probably find the latter description more hurtful than the first.

Hi! I'm having some terrible stuttering at certain momments in the game, especially in Act 2 with all the monkeys and other monsters or when I use some skills with my witch (for example, when I summon skeletons, the first two skeletons I summon will stutter the game).
I'm playing the game in a laptop, 800x600, windowed mode, no shadows, antianalizing off, trilinear filtering, VSync off, Post proccesing off, screen shake off.
(I'm playing with sound; no idea if that has anything to do with anything)
My computer specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 processor L310 (1.20GHz)
ATI Radeon HD3200 Graphics
2 GB Memory
ALSO, when I was loading a map of Act 2 an error occurred that said "bad allocation" and then the game stoped working and shut down.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Definition of choreology in English:
The notation of dance movement.
Example sentences
- Though most widely used in ballet companies, choreology has subsequently been evolved to deal with non-classical movement also, and together with Labanotation is the most internationally used system.
- People also ask, 'Well, why do we need to have choreology, in this day and age of videotape?'
- In that female dominated world of choreology it was indeed rare to find another man who was interested in notation.
- Example sentences
- This new production, staged by Cranko expert Reid Anderson and Benesh choreologist Jane Bourne, featured scenery and costumes by Susan Benson that were borrowed from the National Ballet of Canada and never before seen in New York.
- In 1960 the Royal Ballet became the first company to hire a professional choreologist.
- Caroline Palmer (choreologist) has been with me the whole time on this production notating as I've been choreographing.
1960s: from Greek khoreia 'dancing in unison' (from khoros 'chorus') + -logy.
