This Duvet Cover is VERY Soft! We just LOVE the materia (my husband is a fabric snob) :) l - but at the same time it might be a little too soft, as the comforter does not stay in place. I'm not yet certain whether it is the cover or if our comforter is too small, but either way it slides. I think we may end up purchasing a larger conforter in the future, but for now we will just have to "deal" with the slipping and sliding.
This duvet cover set is exactly what I needed. I had compared prices at Target and Ikea, but when I read the earlier review with a description of it being soft, it was enough to convince me to buy especially for the great price. For this quality, I expected it to be much thinner and have a bit of a rougher texture. It is smooth and comfortable. I love it! I don't think anyone could be disappointed with this purchase!
The color I chose is exactly what was advertised. The material product is excellent. Pricing is better than bargain shopping from store to store.
I bought this for my Ralph Lauren white down comforter. My dogs sleep on the bed and I did not want them getting it dirty. I read all of the great reviews on this product but I am a little disappointed in the quality. The material is a thin as the sheets on my bed if not thinner. The buttons at the bottom come undone daily. It is soft but not what I was looking for.
'Just what I was looking for. I needed this for my son's room and was trying to match Denver Bronco orange. This looks great in his room.Perfect color; good price; made well. Very nice . . . and soft
Because this item was so inexpensive I did a double-take when I opened the package. The quality is top notch, the color calming, and the fabric wonderfully soft. I was pleasantly surprised and plan to use the services of Overstock.com more often.
I got this for my 6 year old son -and now am ordering for us as well! Amazingly soft and holds up good in wash.
Yuck!!! These are disgusting. The microfiber is slippery and your comforter doesn't stay put and just slides around...Annoying. I hated mine enough that I didn't bother returning mine. I threw it in the trash. It's not cotton so you're skin can't breathe and you sweat to heck. Don't waste your money. I've now invested in nice 100% cotton bedding and it's worth spending extra money.
The microfiber cloth is soft and lightweight. It stays clean well, and when necessary it launders easily. The color is even nicer than my computer screen shows. It doesn't weight down my lightweight duvet. It fluffs out well to make the bed quickly. The only minor complaint I would make is that the twin of course doesn't have 3 pieces, only 2, and that isn't very clear on the information, although I guess we could figure that people "should" know.
I bought two of these in different colors - love the colors! These are so soft and comfy and I am happy I can now just wash the duvet instead of the down comforters!! They are very easy to work with and was able to put on comforter by myself!

Michigan has offered:
http://michigan.scout.com/a.z?s=162&...2f1081306.htmlHudson (Ohio) rising junior linebacker Ben Gedeon lands a Michigan offer.
http://www.detnews.com/article/20110...ng-some-at-U-MOhio junior Ben Gedeon is turning heads, including some at U-M
To many sports fans Allen Iverson was "The Answer" and Jevon Kearse was "The Freak", but in the northeast Ohio town of Hudson, both of those nicknames belong to someone else.
Hudson high junior Ben Gedeon is known by those monikers, and is one of the Buckeye state's brightest gridiron stars.
Scout.com recently ranked Gedeon the No. 5 player in Ohio's 2013 class, but his physical prowess has been garnering attention for much longer. Case in point, the "Freak" designation was given to him at a very early age.
"Probably back in grade school," said Gedeon regarding when he was first referred to by the nickname. "I was just always a little bit bigger than everybody, so my family called me that."
Fast forward to high school and he is still a little bit bigger than most youngsters his age. He is also a little faster and a little stronger. Hudson coach Tom Narducci took those truths into account when going over the questions facing his 2010 squad. In Gedeon he realized he had "The Answer."
"Need a quarterback, running back, defensive back, linebacker, cover rusher? We have Ben," Narducci told the Cleveland Plain Dealer before last season. "He's 6-3, about 210 pounds, and he's a real specimen."
Gedeon proved his coach prophetic by helping lead his team to a conference title with 105 tackles on defense and over 800 yards rushing, receiving, and passing on offense. In a memorable outing versus Cuyahoga Falls he completed four passes, rushed 21 times for 125 yards, caught two passes for 34 yards, and spearheaded a spirited defensive effort. It was performances like that that caught the attention of numerous college programs, including Michigan.
"Coach (Greg) Mattison actually came to my school and he was sending me some (camp) stuff," Gedeon recalled. "That's when I knew (the Wolverines) were pretty interested in me. I knew they were really trying to turn around the program and all their recruiting classes lately have been pretty strong, so it was pretty cool. I was excited about that."
Gedeon demonstrated just how excited when he traveled to Ann Arbor in late June for Michigan's annual summer camp. It didn't him take him long to show what all of the fuss is about.
"He was excellent when we saw him in camp settings and his film verified what we had seen in shorts and T-shirts," Scout.com midwest regional manager Allen Trieu said. "He is a well built kid at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and moves very well at that size."
The Michigan staff obviously agreed. The day after Gedeon returned home they promptly offered him a scholarship and invited him back to campus for the "Barbecue at the Big House" in late July. When he made his way back to the Great Lakes State for the picnic-like event, he found his second Michigan experience to be even better than the first.
"It was great," Gedeon said. "I got to meet a lot of the coaches, their families, and a lot of the other recruits. It really felt like family. They made you feel like you were part of it all and getting to see the campus was awesome."
The coaching staff, especially, impressed Gedeon.
"Coach Mattison is a great guy and I've been talking to him since this spring," Gedeon said. "He takes a personal interest, he's always a great guy, and my parents love him. I got to meet his wife as well and they are both great. I also talked to coach (Brady) Hoke a lot and he is a great guy. He is really turning around the program, which is great to see. He was talking to us about how they renovated the stadium last year and we got to see that a little bit. It was amazing.
"I talked to (Orchard Lake St. Mary's linebacker and Michigan commit) James Ross a little bit and I met (Lakewood St. Edward offensive tackle and Michigan commit) Kyle Kalis," he continued. "That was pretty cool because I've been following (Kalis). They had nothing but good stuff to say about Michigan."
The same was true of Gedeon's parents, both whom gave the Wolverines rave reviews.
"They loved it," Gedeon said. "They got to see the campus a lot. I know the first time we saw it (during camp) they loved it. They loved it even more the second time because we got a tour and stuff and the coaches made them feel like we were welcome there and they liked that a lot.
"We'll see what happens, but I like Michigan a lot. After (the barbecue visit), it is definitely on the top of my list."
Unlike many prospects in Ohio, Gedeon doesn't consider his affinity for the Maize & Blue to be sacrilegious.
"I was always a Notre Dame fan growing up," he said. "As far as Michigan and Ohio State, I wasn't too much of an Ohio State fan. I was always pretty neutral."
Time will tell whether the Wolverines are able to hold onto their spot atop the leaderboard. There will certainly be fierce competition in the coming months. In the few weeks since he received his Michigan offer, Penn State, Tennessee, and Boston College have followed suit.
"I have been to the Penn State camp two years now," Gedeon told Scout.com. "Most of my team goes up for the summer camp. I also got to see the campus and I liked it a lot. I like the whole campus. I like how it is centered around the football stadium, and how it's a college town.
"It was kind of a surprise when (Tennessee) offered me. I haven't had much contact with them until now. I was very excited when the offer came, especially with all of the tradition they have. I'm interested in them but need to check out the campus and meet the coaches.
"I know (Boston College) always has had a great program. I've been able to see the campus a few times because my brother goes to Harvard, which isn't too far away."
Each of those programs and any other suitor that enters Gedeon's recruitment will be given a fair chance to win him over. The ingredients for doing so are already quite clear.
"The education will definitely come first," he said. "Then I'll talk with the players there and see what kind of guys they are and if I'd fit in with them."
Gedeon plans to take his time assessing that fit. He is relying on his parents and few other family members to help him decide.
"I've got two brothers, so my older brothers will come into play," he said. "They are big role models for me. My uncle will definitely come into play (also).
"I am just going with the flow. Maybe around this time next year I will commit somewhere."
Ben Gedeon just committed
Ben Gedeon is commit #17 for Michigan according to Sam Webb

I can't believe how many Ohio guys we are taking. Fantastic.

Note that all board members can be contacted via email, using the following format: email@example.com
Danielle first became involved in Canoeing in 1979 through the Illawarra Canoe Club in NSW. She was primarily interested in the disciplines of Slalom and Wildwater, although over her career she has been involved in Canoe Polo, Flatwater, Multi Sport Marathons, Dragon Boat Racing and Touring.
She was selected to her first Senior Australian Slalom Team in 1982 and remained on the senior team every year until her retirement in 2001. Over those years she was also involved with canoeing at committee and institute level. Since 2005 she has been involved with Canoeing in the capacity of National Selector for Slalom, although she has represented Slalom Canoeing over many years in the capacity of State Delegate and Paddlers Representative to Australian Canoeing, and Victorian Delegate to the Victorian Olympic Council. She held the position of National Coach in 1997 as well as the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) Coach in 1997 for Slalom Canoeing. During her tenure with the VIS she also worked in the area of Athlete Career and Education for the sports of Tennis and Softball. She has also held positions with the Athletes Advisory Commission for ASADA and working groups as the Australian Sports Commission, Australian Institute of Sport or the Australian Olympic Council required. Danielle has also managed national teams overseas, and dealt with budget and resource issues on a daily basis whilst employed by the Victorian Institute of Sport. She has been a Federal Agent with the Australian Federal Police (AFP) for 21 years. Her role within the AFP has given her a good understanding of the legal system and common law principles, and she is conversant in reading legislation and dealing with corporate governance on a daily basis.
Her ability to achieve results is best demonstrated by her competitive career in Slalom Canoeing. She held the National Women's Slalom title from 1983 until 2001 (only beaten twice in that time), and in 1992 she won a Silver Medal at the Olympics in Barcelona. She also won the World Cup in Spain in 1994 (the first Australian to win a World Cup event in Slalom), and this was achieved whilst holding down a career with the Australian Federal Police.
Danielle retired from competitive canoeing in 2001 and coaching in 2002 to spend more time involved with the Federal Police and overseas deployments to East Timor with the United Nations. In 2005, she became a selector for the National Senior Slalom Team. She has always been heavily involved in the sport and believes that her knowledge and skills both in and out of the sport will be an asset to the board. Danielle was also awarded an OAM in 2002 for her services to sport, particularly to slalom canoeing and Olympic sport.
Martyn has been involved in canoeing and surf ski paddling since the late 1970s and still competes actively. He holds professional qualifications in the business commerce area up to the post graduate level of MBA, and has held positions on a number of sporting bodies including swimming clubs, surf clubs, and the Australian Emergency Services Games Board. In the sporting arena he has been a race director for a number of triathlon and open water events.
His greatest level of achievement in sport administration was the Games Director for the 2004 Australasian Police & Emergency Services Games, which covered over 35 sports and more than 2000 competitors. Financially this was a success with the Minister for Tourism (WA) claiming it brought over $10 million into Western Australia. He is passionate about sport and is committed to his new role at Australian Canoeing. His professional work currently requires a high level of strategic focus, interpersonal skills and implementation of change across different agencies.
Robbie represented South Africa at Long Distance, Wild Water and Sprint Canoeing as well as Surf Lifesaving. He was South African champion in 500m K1; 500m, 1000m and 10,000m K2 and K4 between 1974 and 1980. In addition Robbie won many of South Africa's major marathons including the Pietermaritzburg to Durban "Duzi" Marathon and the PE2EL Ski Race.
Due to South Africa's "Apartheid" policies, which led to their suspension from international sport, Robbie's era of canoeists were prevented from competing in the Olympic or World Championships.
It was his Olympic dream and a desire to create employment in the "new" South Africa that led Robbie to initiate the process of South Africa bidding, unsuccessfully, for the 2004 Olympics. He worked as Director of Sport and Facilities for the Cape Town 2004 Olympic Bid. His experience in the planning and cost management of Olympic and sports events resulted in Robbie, and his family, moving to Sydney in 1999 to work for consultants working on the Sydney Olympics
While at University Robbie started the University of Natal (now Kwazulu-Natal) Canoe Club and served on various club committees and race organising committees for the next 30 years. Robbie was President of the KwaZulu–Natal Canoe Union and South African Canoe Federation
In addition to his experience with the Sydney Olympics, Robbie organised some of the first Slalom competitions in South Africa and has served on the organising committee of the African Athletics Championships, the World Junior Weightlifting Championships, the World Fencing Championships and the World Marathon Canoeing Championships. His professional life includes cost management consulting on the Doha 2008 Asian games and the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
His most satisfying achievement in canoeing has been starting the "Valley Assistance Fund" through which canoeists in Kwazulu-Natal contribute to building classrooms on to rural schools in the river valleys they traverse. Since 1982 this program has raised thousands of dollars resulting in the upgrading of more than 40 schools.
Despite spending most of his career racing, he rates his happiest times in canoeing doing river trips on Africa's wild rivers and the Colorado "Grand Canyon" in the USA. A member of Manly Lifesaving Club and Manly Warringah Kayak Club, Robbie paddles to keep fit and competes mainly in Surf Lifesaving masters and ocean racing events.
A recent appointment to Australian Canoeing as Independent Director, James Rennell has more than 25 years experience in business marketing, and has more recently held directorships in property ventures including residential and retail development projects. In his development roles he has liaised with all levels of corporate Australia including the financial, legal and local government sectors. His public relations, design management and business development experience stands him in good stead to utilise his vast knowledge to develop marketing strategies for the future of Australian Canoeing.

Intel is preparing to discontinue a couple of Core processors in the LGA1156 package, and a few older processors in the LGA775 package. These include the Core i5-661 and Core i3-530, two of the first Clarkdale dual-core processors, Pentium Dual-Core E5700, Celeron E3500 and E3400. Intel will take orders for Core i5-661 and Core i3-530 till April 27, 2012, and will ship the last of them by October 5, 2012. Orders for Pentium E5700, Celeron E3500 and Celeron E3400 will be taken till December 30, 2011. While the last of the tray shipments will be completed by June 8th, 2012, boxed versions will ship till supplies are depleted in Intel's warehouses. Source: TechConnect Magazine
the news should be like this.. Some Intel LGA1156, LGA775 Processors to be Discontinued, and Lowers Price of LGA1155
IMO the 775 CPUs need to be discontinued all together. Most OEMs have long since moved on to i3/i5 and i7 CPUs. the only people that would buy a 775 processor are those who are probably too poor to make the jump to a new platform or want a final upgrade for a HTPC or server pc. Produce one more batch then just shut shop and move on. If people want 775 processors. theres hundreds of them floating around on ebay already. stop wasting time and silcon by making new batches when ebay has more then enough C2D/C2Q's to build your own medium to large sized LAN event that are not being used.
Socket 1156 is it still available ? and for what mobile phones ? Surely the socket 775 has already been discontinued 6+ months ago or am I missing something. I can not see anyone paying $300 for a 775 / 1156 when they can get a new 4x times the cpu + motherboard "mid level cpu" for the same price. Intel why waste another year on 3+ generations back old hardware. Intel make up your mind, 1366 is being killed off before 2011 is available so following the same line then 1st gen Sandy's should have been killed off 1st Qtr 2011 already ? Same for 775 is should have been dead before 1156 ??
If Intel is still making LGA 775 processors, they might as well shrink and re-release some older CPU models like the Pentium running on a solar cell here: http://semiaccurate.com/2011/09/28/intel-solar-cell-cpu-demo-was-really-impressive/ 4GHz 32nm Pentium III pl0x?
and as long as you have a high-end 775 CPU, it's performance is still up to AMD's performance levels(I know, what til BD and say that.)
I still use LGA775 and the 1st quad core from intel ever made. No reason to change to another quad. I'll go directly for an 8-core when the situation will require it. With an old Abit MB with main 6SATA on ICH9R and PCI-E 1.1 I have everything I need to run any HDDs and any video cards currently on the market. So 775 it's not that obsolete as some may think judging only by the years counted. That's an exaggeration, but as I explained above, if you have a good MB to go with on old quad it's all OK and it doesn't matter that much if it's intel or AMD.
newer socket, heck 775 outlived 1366, 1156, 1155. Course P4 was on 3 diff sockets before they ditched it. Athlon n Athlon XP were on SKT A
Actually it does as AMD Quads beaten like a dog by Intel Quads. C2Q is still decent but only if youre a casual gamer or dont really do anything intensive on your rig, but if youre still running a 775 socket. then Q9550/Q9650 (or QX9770 - if you can afford one) is where all the performance is at. I had a Q9550 clocked to 3.9Ghz and i still noticed a massive difference going from that to a 2500k, my bench scores just vastly improved. and it really opened up the throttle for my 5850 crossfire setup i had back then. So in theory....C2Q's are GOOD, but they aint great.

Lucifer Rising
Compared to the likes of Grotesque and Vomitory, Sweden's Kaamos feature members of Serpent Obscene and ex-members of Repugnant, A Mind Confused, and Revokation. Their 2002 release earned a spot on the playlist of most reviewers and death metal enthusiasts alike, while I'm positive this new record will only cement the band in their well-deserved role of skilled purveyors of traditional Swedish death.
Producing a thrashy wall of thick rhythms, intelligent and quickly played solos, and guttural growls, Kaamos have returned again with the same goal - to revitalize the classic Swedish death metal sound by giving it a slightly different angle. Still mistakable as a 90's act, Lucifer Rising is an intelligent and well-done tribute to the revolutionary bands of that timeframe. One clear change from the band's prior release is the upped production, giving the drums a fuller but almost too prominent sound, although it helps delivery the band's crushing old-school approach. On the whole, it's a great and densely packed album that'll be well received by nearly anyone who hears it. But as with everything, there are parts that stand out more than others, for better or for worse. With the perfect length of 3:19, the thrashy and thick detuned riffs of "Gnosticon" prove the song to be nothing less than outstanding. Setting itself apart and taking a clue from the Swedish death metal legends by inserting a fuzzed out lead that corresponds brilliantly with the accompanying rhythm work, they prevent their familiar sound from becoming tiresome. "Dark Void" begins as a beat driven throwback, but slows down much in the same ominous way you'd hear on an Entombed release, before going back to the charged and aggressive material. It's mildly disappointing, as they could've built up that transition a little better and ended the song on a really strong note, and while it isn't bad, it's lacking. With an infectious climbing riff, "Sacrament Reversion" stands out among the rest due to the ingenious songwriting. It isn't written like a lot of metal is, randomly thrown together - there's recognizable continuity to the song merged with a no-nonsense brutal attack and blasting bridge which gives perfect segue to that initial riff. The final track "Ascent", is more of my speed - slow and elephantine, with a bending riff and tasteful lead guitar underneath, that isn't too distracting. The album would've been more of my tastes, personally, if they featured a few more of these passages which they prove they're excellent at.
Although overall a very competent album, Lucifer Rising is too by the books for me. Despite how much I adore the sounds of Grave and Dismember, I tend to want to go back and just listen to those albums when I hear bands like Kaamos. They're effective and talented in what they do, undeniably. Fans of Bloodbath, Ribspreader, and all of the aforementioned bands should take notice and lend an ear to one of the better up and coming bands playing this style.

Benghazi controversy
In the days following the September 11 attacks on the Benghazi consulate that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, Rice became the administration's point person on the matter. In multiple TV appearances after that attack, Rice cited a hateful video that fueled a spontaneous mob attack as the reason for the deaths.
Senior U.S. officials have said that Rice's comments were based on an intelligence assessment that was later updated to reflect a preliminary view that demonstrators were not the culprits.
The most strident Republicans suggested the characterization of the attack as a mob gone awry might have been the basis for a cover-up during a ferocious political campaign.
Criticism intensified as the explanation of events slowly shifted with the administration eventually raising the possibility that the attack was planned by al Qaeda.
Some leading Senate Republicans said they could not support Rice if Obama nominated her to replace Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. While Obama has not indicated who he might appoint, White House sources have said that Rice is a top candidate.
Rice did little to quell criticism of her on Tuesday following a meeting with the toughest critics over Benghanzi - Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.
The session, called by Rice to answer questions about her comments, ended up with the lawmakers saying they were "significantly troubled" by many of her answers.
Graham said Rice's comments amounted to a "statement disconnected from reality" and that his concerns about Rice "are greater today than they were before."
McCain said the "information that she gave the American people was incorrect."
In a statement following the meeting, which also included Acting CIA Director Michael Morrell, Rice said the two stressed that, "neither I nor anyone else in the administration intended to mislead the American people at any stage in this process, and the administration updated Congress and the American people as our assessments evolved."
Rice's biggest defender is Obama, who called out her critics at a news conference earlier this month.
"Susan Rice, she has done exemplary work. She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill, and professionalism, and toughness, and grace," Obama said.

More than 35 institutions of higher education from New York and neighboring states participated in the H1N1 Preparedness for Colleges and Universities Conference on September 18 hosted at St. John's University's Manhattan campus.
Photo Gallery
The half-day conference held in the Saval Auditorium highlighted by the opening address of Joseph F. Bruno, New York City Commissioner of the Office of Emergency Management.
"What we're working on is the development of one message – a joint information center – that will educate the public and private sector regarding the H1N1 virus," said Commissioner Bruno. "Colleges and Universities are an important part of the relationship."
Dr. Scott A. Harper, Medical Specialist, Bureau of Communicable Disease for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Dr. Isaac B. Weisfuse, Deputy Commissioner, Division of Disease Control for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, also gave informative presentations complete with vital statistics, graphs and detailed data to the more than 125 attendees gathered at St. John's Saval Auditorium.
"Our hope is that the exchange of ideas and best practices can be utilized by the participating colleges and universities in their emergency plans," said Gerard A. McEnerney, Assistant Vice President and Executive Director – Staten Island Campus & University Emergency Management. "Plus, the information presented by these experts provides an educational backdrop for the fight against the H1N1 virus all across America."
Other expert presenters on the dais at the conference included Lucia V. Torian, Ph.D., Deputy Director, HIV Epidemiology & Field Service Program, NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Ira Tannenbaum, Manager, Public/Private Initiatives, NYC Office of Emergency Management, Amber Greene, Manager, Ready New York Program, NYC Office of Emergency Management, Kathryn Hutchinson, Ph.D., Executive Director, Student Wellness, St. John's University and Dominic Petruzzelli, Director of Residence Life, St. John's University.
The H1N1 Preparedness for Colleges and Universities Conference comes on the heels of St. John's first two Emergency Seminars, the Urban Hazards Forum IV: Campus School Safety and Emergency Preparedness held in 2008, and the Study Abroad and Emergency Preparedness Conference held in March 2009.

Jose Mota spawns a new cliche in failing with this old saying
Jose Mota has worked for the past decade as a Spanish and English language announcer for the Angels. Mota is one of the most versatile announcers in sports, calling games as both an analyst and a play by play man in both languages. He's also been seen working for Fox's regional MLB coverage. As skilled as Jose is with both languages, he ran into a bit of trouble trying to use an "old saying" before an Angels game at Oakland this week.
And, besides that is the fact, that you know, the old saying goes, "play good enough until last out until also something good happens for you."
Even Tim McCarver is having a hard time figuring out what this old saying actually means...

Elise, I would agree with Jimmy that she should pick only rock songs as I think this genre best suits her vocals and choose a song well known to the Idol viewers and charge it up both vocal and stage wise.
Jessica, again I would somewhat agree with Jimmy that she needs to pick a song she can emotionally relate to. And if not relate to, at least understand what the song is about so she can sing it with her soul and not concentrate on getting it vocally correct.
Philip, I would suggest he review his performance videos or practice in front of a mirror and make an effort to control his facial expressions. Also feel he needs to move around the stage.
Skylar, stick to country and be as classic country as you like cause that twang in your vocals is best suited for that
Hollie, just keep doing what you did this past week
Joshua, pick soulful songs but don't feel you need to go overboard. Let your vocals tell the message.
Listen to what the man says.
Elise: Pick songs that show off your voice... not Alicia Keys and other difficult songs that are not your style. also tone down the bouncing on stage
Jessica: Be more expressive on stage. Make us feel what you're singing. Pick maybe some easier, relatable songs with meaningful lyrics. wear less diva-ish clothes and more stuff a teenager would wear
Joshua: Tone down the vocal acrobatics..
Hollie: Sing better and dont be so stiff on stage
Philip: Ill keep this to myself
Skylar: sing with more passion and soul. high energy is good, but not for every performance
I am a mentor-
But I have to give this a lot of thought then I'll be back..
Elise; Show us your strength
Phillip:Change it up a bit. Stick to ballads or pull of a really good upbeat song.
Hollie: Be more confident. Let it all out whaterver youre feeling( can be used for jessica too)
Skylar:Keep on doing what you are ding
Joshua: Keepon doing what you are doing
04-20-2012 06:47 PM - edited 04-20-2012 06:48 PM
Elise- The only thing I have to say to her is- Song selection. Other than that I think she's coming along nicely.
Joshua- I've said this before, I don't want to go to church on every performance, but I still love him though..
Skylar- I don't know what to say because what I don't like she can't change- twang and loudness.
Hollie- You;re doing it already, improving with the confidence and connecting more. Keep it up!
Jessica- Again, not much to say, I'm just not finding any emotion or connecting with her performances. And to add, I'm finding her voices is getting kind of low and I don't like that. It's obviously just a preference thing on my part.
Phillip- Nothing much at all, what you've been doing has kept you out of the bottom all this time. I thought he improved this week however, so I guess I can say, keep it up!
Joshua....chill out just a bit
Elise.....stop worrying so much and have fun
Jessica........be an artist and not a singer
Phillip.......wear red one day
Skylar.......shhhhhhhhhh we can hear you

Elise: Get the impression you love the soul songs, and me too, for me, for you... (Like that? Put a little RJack into it). But in the shortened format with one or two shots to impress voters, you need to come out rockin' again for at least one song a night.
Phil: You are who you are, but maybe try something a little out of the box. Maybe a simple little ballad, accompanied just by your guitar. Even Dave Matthews sings some soft ones. The ladies love it.
Skylar: You have some momentum, you're gold on stage, you've shown you can do the siren song. Now maybe stray once in a while from the straight country like you did at first, and give us a little classic southern rock or honky tonk blues, for those who aren't sold on classic country or country pop.
Joshua: Now that you're doing 2 a night, definitely make sure that one has a more modern feel like your Bruno Mars effort. But this time, maybe change up an arrangement so it's a surpise--unexpected and modern cool.
Jessica: Know you're trying to avoid the diva trap, and good for you, but don't lose the pretty part of your voice either. Find a song that features that beautiful melodic sound so captivating at the beginning of your run, even if it is uptempo.
Hollie: You're moving in the right direction, but stop thinking about this as a contest. Start thinking about how you want to be seen on stage in your own right and give us a defined style once in a while rather than focusing so much on impressive notes, or checking the boxes on last week's comment card.

In fact, the bid deemed "lowest and best" on a 3-2 vote by the Board of Aldermen came from someone named Jim Taylor, who we understand lives in the county, not the city. He was not present at the meeting. This is Mr. Taylor's entire bid:

Microsoft has sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses since the new release of the company's flagship operating system software became available just over one month ago.
The sales figure was disclosed earlier today by Tami Reller, corporate vice president and CFO of the Microsoft Windows and Windows Live Division, at the Credit Suisse 2012 Annual Technology Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The Windows 8 sales numbers are the first Microsoft has disclosed since the product began shipping on Oct. 25.
[Related: Microsoft To VMware: Thanks For Confirming You're More Expensive]
After Reller made the announcement, it also was posted on Microsoft's Windows blog.
Microsoft did not break down the sales numbers to say how many of the 40 million copies of Windows 8 have been sold with new PCs and laptop computers and how many have been sold as upgrades for older Windows releases. The blog did say that Windows 8 sales are "outpacing Windows 7 in terms of upgrades."
Microsoft also did not disclose sales numbers for its Surface tablet, which also went on sale on Oct. 25. That device runs on Windows RT, a version of Windows specifically developed to run on ARM-based devices.
Reller was put in charge of the business side of the Windows and Windows Live Division two weeks ago after the sudden departure of Steven Sinofsky, the then-president of the Windows division who oversaw the development of Windows 8.

I don't think the Presidential Seal is big enough.
We have a new king and queen.
All inaugurations are pretentious circle jerks.
taken from reddit:
...What? Hottest 49 year old ever.
Michelle just turned 49.
those kids are fags and liars
Most don't take place on the same day that Americans hostages are murdered by terrorists. You know....the terrorists that are supposedly gone because we killed Bin Laden. But hey...at least the president gets to dance in front of the press. The press that are busy ignoring that fact that Islam is controlling more and more of the world every day.
Go back to bed America. Your government is in control. Here's American Gladiators. Watch this and shut up.
Yeah, if they had any class, humility, or self-awareness, they'd have just stuffed themselves into a couple of flight suits and pretended to land an S-3B on a carrier in front of a tremendous banner to make an unnecessary self-congratulatory spontaneous announcement of a total non-accomplishment immediately preceding a monumental decade-long national and international cluster fuck. Hopefully, Obama can elevate his game in his 2nd term to match that of his brilliant predecessor.

Completely stopped listening to the trainwreck called THSS in January 2012 except for turning it on in the bathroom when I shit or shower and I wish I'd pulled the plug the day Artie left. It's so bad that I've actually gotten out of the shower to turn it the fuck off.
Yeah, what a shitstain that Obama, Huh? Instead of partying so much he could barely fulfill his Texas Air National Guardcowardly shelter from actually serving in the ongoing foregin warduties, that lazy Obama bastard just goofed off editing the Harvard Law Review. The only thing GWB sets any "standard" for is incompetence and hand puppets; the point is simply that it's incredible that anybody who respected or admired GWB could possibly purport to be "disappointed" or "disgusted" by Obama in any way, shape, or form. That doesn't mean GWB is a "standard"; it just means you're "dissapointed" by someone who's immensely better qualified and better motivated in every conceivable way to the fuckin' fool whose performance you think he's failing to meet. Nobody has to be a "fan" of anybody to recognize that.

You mean like Obama holding a ridiculous press conference to announce that Bin Laden was dead and using the exact words "mission accomplished" during that speech? You mean President Obama failing to prevent the next 9/11 attacks where one of our ambassadors was assassinated and then blaming it on a YouTube video? You mean declaring Al Qaeda as hurt and retreating when Islamic terrorists are taking over foreign business and killing westerners at increasing rates? Oh no....Obama didn't gloat at all about Bin Laden like Bush gloated about Iraq. Neither of them did anything to secure the world from Islam.
Bush and Obama have taken record war time vacations. It's like some sick game who can one-up the other and make the worst moves. Bush read "The Pet Goat" during 9/11. Obama plays golf during his 9/11 and then dances during a hostage crisis. Bush goes to lots of baseball games. Obama spends more time with Hollywood celebrities and Jay-Z than he does vetting his top military leaders.
Bush and Obama. Maybe the worst back to back presidents in history. Easily two of the worst modern world leaders.
O dawg is gonna go full nig, slap a gold chain around that bitch and wear it around his neck
Wait for Hillary, or that skank daunter they're grooming for politics.
PIE only successful move in political punditry is to not choose a side and criticize everyone equally. Only a fucking moron believes that all the bad stuff is committed by the people on the per side of the aisle... They're politicians... All (ALL) politicians are liars and shitheads.
Before you go all anti bush... Realize that bush probably worked to reelect Obama just as almost every other ex-president does for one term presidents. The presidents club: read it. The
presidency over party...

Americans want government to protect us.
Protect us from foreign enemies and from people in America who might hurt us physically or financial.
So politicians pass laws that claim to do that and then because they can't keep up but the constant changes in life -- create whole agencies to write and enforce additional regulations.
This is the result.
Pages of rules some contradict the job.
No one understands all of them and yet -- -- -- keep anymore.
Thousands of new pages every month.
The regulations might be worth it if they really make us safer but they don't.
Cliff SS has grown investment management fund from one million dollars to fifty billion -- So I assume this means you're Smart -- can help but.
Explain why then you say that these financially -- financial regulations meant to protect the poor investors who got hurt after.
The bubble burst.
Do more harm than good.
Well -- first let's step back I act I don't think.
No that is -- regulation world is right -- somehow I'm a fan of out shalt not kill.
That's pretty good.
On our last look well agree that the but the constitution's good daddy can't kill you can't -- classical economics.
Recognizes the need for some regulation now I won't do an economics lecture but.
Things like extra now these they're called tragedies of the comment.
Free rider problems -- call for some regulation the problem is when you take a politician -- -- particularly progressive politician.
And teach in these words.
They they tend to see you next are now -- everywhere they can see these things everywhere.
A lot less to do their own incentives not to become -- more famous politician you don't get more famous by saying actually everything's fine.
You get more famous by passing a bill with here with your name on it.
I'm so let's just back up because that you're talking about extra now -- one is pollution for -- is a classic example my factory pollutes your lungs ghost of many states.
They're regulation is reasonable against that to some degree and depending on the situation.
I got and even simpler example of -- nationality us speed limits.
If you were and you might -- a libertarian will be against speed limits because how Gator on -- what terra I am a libertarian.
And I -- libertarian yes it.
You might think a libertarian will be against speed limits because who'd who'd actually coming up fast to drive but when you drive too fast and too -- can be arguable.
You impose a cost of safety on other people you're not just on yourself.
Libertarians generally would be far less four or even against seatbelt laws -- helmet laws because those are cost -- impose upon.
-- yourself so some regulations needed but when politicians are given an open.
An open check book and the incentive to get famous and even let's given some credit even wanting to do good even wanting to help people.
It gets insane as you've shown very very rapidly.
And what's worse often doesn't even actually make us safer -- -- -- financial regulator well first we had Enron the scale.
And they pass congress -- we're gonna fix this -- passed sarbanes Oxley page after page of rules President Bush said this is gonna just fix everything.
It didn't stop the current bubble didn't stop Bernie Madoff now it's Dodd-Frank.
They say that's gonna fix things well there are things that that sadly we'll never -- Intentional financial fraud is very hard to catch that's usually more matter -- prosecution -- than fixing yet we hold out the dream.
And let me give you an example where Dodd-Frank and trying to regulate assault a perfect safety actually makes us less safe.
Bernie Madoff was registered with the SEC.
Part of Dodd -- reforms.
Are to make vast -- larger numbers of money managers register with the SEC.
The SEC's well meaning people -- that the people who do these at inspections and and and and they're trying to find fraud they're competent people but intentional fraud intentional.
It's very difficult to find -- is a Smart people trying to Fulham and it's very difficult to check every company.
So when you go out there and say alright everyone's registered the small -- Naturally assumes I'm sick I'm saying let's protect -- exactly so not only are these things tremendously inefficient -- tremendous burden.
Not always but often they actually -- the precise opposite -- what they're supposed to do Dodd-Frank does it all over the place.
Dodd-Frank claims to end too big to fail.
The idea that will bail out companies.
That that are really important to the economy.
I've read -- annoying -- large amounts of the bill.
I have yet to find where they ended in fact I think they instantiate forever they declare some institutions systemically important that's kind of a phrase they made up.
I -- -- like too big to -- and they kind of promise these things won't fail.
But that's -- -- -- -- -- -- -- the classic way because they gamble with other people's money because they'll be bailed out but imagine they do fail.
Imagining unthinkable happens how much worse is it to have a company -- that everyone knew might fail.
Then it is have a company fail that the government -- said we got -- back it's.
Incredibly worse.
To have a company -- work where we were told it's all going to be OK the government got it covered so very often in trying to stop these things.
They actually induce a lot more risk into the system so regulation -- because it makes as an efficient that are also states -- it often gets it backwards.
One conceit of the regulators is that this group can -- the next bubble and it's pull the plug before it happened if they could they should be really doing my job.
And we try to make our money from a lot of little things -- by pricing things a little bit better.
We find that incredibly hard.
So maybe that's just ego speaking but I have a lot of trouble thinking that eight bureaucrats in -- room are gonna predict the next bubble and by the way.
Predicting the next bubble has a cost when -- wrong with you cut off a lot of growth and innovation.
If you sit there and you too often and you say it's a bubble we need to stop.
You stop the economy from growing.
So the idea these guys are Alan Greenspan tried it remember 1996 he called -- irrational exuberance 34 years before the tech tech bubble.
-- and he eventually.
Changed his mind pretty much at the exact wrong moment by the end of the tech bubble this has been tried -- -- -- smarter than most of these regulate I I would certainly bad on him ahead of the rest of them and I want that -- nickel on him get it right next time either.
Sell the market just sorts it out and some people lose vast sums of money.
First yeah -- This the market does sorted out markets are not perfect they make -- they are far better than committees of bureaucrats.
I think if government stop -- with markets we'd have a lot --

iPhone 5 repairs won't come cheap
It's happened to a lot of people -- their iPhone drops from their hands, falls off their lap, plunks into a toilet, or gets knocked off a table.
Showing off a cracked iPhone screen is sometimes almost a point of pride. I have one friend who lovingly calls his damaged phone "The Hurt Locker," referring to the 2008 movie about a bomb disposal team working during the Iraq War.
But, many of these damaged iPhones cease to work after going through various mishaps. That's when repairs come into play -- and, they're not cheap.

-- pretty what are thought the Republicans were down and out.
Think again this Wednesday the house will vote for a three month extension on the debt ceiling but it comes with a price play last week house GOP leaders came up with a very interesting offered.
So they -- when they would vote for the extension but the the measure would also require the democratic controlled senate to pass a budget and -- they -- to do that.
Paid for lawmakers themselves will be withheld speaker John Boehner said quote.
We got to pursue strategies that will obligate the senate to finally joined the house -- confronting the government spending problem.
The principle is simple no budget no pay -- now with reaction.
Congressman David -- and congressman Greg -- guys welcome aboard thanks to be -- us -- to -- with you thanks -- -- having a shot first of all.
I was skeptical congressman Walden and -- the beginning when -- -- all Republicans are given an erratic but.
I had I had a couple discussions this weekend with some of your -- state explain the rationale.
Number one -- sequestration those cuts will go into effect.
You're gonna force that happened the president and the senate to come up with a budget senate hasn't passed a budget over three and a half years and that paves the way for more cuts.
I liked it more when it was explained to make is that is that about right.
I think it is -- and I think it's about time the senate did its legal responsibility of passing a budget we passed one each the last two years we've been in the majority the Ryan budget it laid out at.
A plan for how to deal of America's biggest problems our debt and deficit in the ongoing spending that.
If we don't reform will end up bankrupting this country and it's unfair to the next generation not to stop this it's time for the senate to step up and -- Done my town -- Jon -- well how out of they get away with that what's the penalty if it were me and my.
Job I'd get fired -- they get their pay -- so I think this notion of no budget no pay.
Makes a lot of sense that people want a way and they go to our NR CC -- or -- web site and make their views heard.
By the way we're watching also as we speak that is the First Lady President Obama this is -- second ball the evening and a few less balls and they had back in 2009 and I got to give the president a lot of credit.
I did not dance in my wedding I can't dance I don't think that stands.
And and they look really nice young all right up.
Why are you laughing at that congressman that's not right.
Another -- if I'm sorry I'm just picturing -- dancing to Jennifer Hudson happy I love Jennifer Hudson I would I would love to be at the party look everybody's taping -- looks like a lot of fun.
I I got it right into the -- his party.
John did you notice the cool kids didn't get invited media -- we couldn't we couldn't rationalize it -- spin it anyway we want but I don't even get invited to the to the White House media Christmas party.
Thumbnail so I know on the list.
And nobody's making fun of my Erica okay I just wanna put that -- -- -- about it.
Well I'm not mean look it's a reason to celebrate the peaceful -- inside the transition of power we celebrate the election of presidents.
I'm just counting down the days to 2016 politically speaking.
I -- what what do you think congressman -- the way you know on on this is this gonna help.
Motivate the senate to get to a budget.
Well I.
I sure hope so because in many ways what you've seen the last two years as those of -- in the Republican House have been negotiating with ourselves.
You you keep having folks say well why can't you make this work why can't you at least explain to the public what's really going on with the budget.
How do you get there when you have a senate that refuses to do his job.
But that's a bit -- how did they ever get away with us congressman Walt.
A look at what's -- like -- -- You know they just haven't acted and they'll say oh well we don't really need to do a budget Harry Reid has said we're not gonna mark up a budget Patty Murray earlier this week said.
I don't know -- -- chairman of that committee.
And and so what we have to do is draw attention to it you know.
We we need to solve these problems are by Israel Jimmy Buffett song of the phone doesn't ring it must be me that's like waiting for the senate to call -- -- budget.
We don't congressman -- -- one of the observations I had today and I thought my colleague Charles Krauthammer made a very good point.
And then this it's Obama laid down -- call a little bit today how Mamas and get the most liberal partisans inaugural speech that I.
I can think of -- in our lifetime.
Now -- -- wants to destroy -- wipe out the Reagan legacy or reaganism.
With massive big government social engineering.
Do you think he'll be successful in this term accomplishing that.
Well that's our job in the house -- to stop this and think about sort of the outrageous language in the president's speech today.
When he wants to talk about social justice.
Well darn good a job is the ultimate social justice and yet the policies of this administration have crushed the ability to expand this -- This economy.
So how do we now in the house start to -- what leverage points we have to force the senate.
Defining gauge in the process.
Of doing what's right.
And it missed -- -- I've talked about this in the past I think the senate has avoided doing a budget because they're terrified.
But letting the American people -- understand how bad the numbers are.
I by the way what you're watching on -- Year's screen and by the way this is not Dancing With The Stars -- dancing with the politicians.
But of course vice president Joseph Biden and his wife Jill will also be addressing the troops tonight.
Coming up later on at some point when it happens we'll bring it to you live -- within we're gonna have a vote on Hannity dot com who's the better dancer the president -- the vice president.
-- -- -- -- get go that's why I think David hit some really important point where was the discussion about how we create a healthy economy in this country.
So -- people don't have to work two jobs or three part time jobs and then they feel moms who don't have control their schedule their life and then you have all that climate change discussion what's that mean to the price of gasoline and electricity going forward.
