Down and feather-filled products are packaged tightly during shipping. Upon receipt, remove this item from its packaging, fluff gently, and allow several hours for full loft recovery. In addition, products sealed in plastic packaging sometimes have a disagreeable scent because of concentrated natural fibers. A few hours of airing typically removes the odor.
We recommend that this item is fluffed at least once a week to maintain down distribution.

I was hoping for a bit more
I thought based on the values I've been receiving at overstock thought this might of been a little bit more higher quality than expected I kept it but I will rate It average. Wish I would've went to the little bit higher quality I really think this is something I could've bought at target for the same priceRead More
Great fill power

Love it! Makes our room look great! It is a bit hot so I pull it down at night and just sleep under the sheet. I am from Mississippi so that may be why because our heat is ridiculous here.Read More

Best Comforter Ever
This is the best down comforter I've ever owned. It's large, thick, and light - cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I use it in both cold and hot weather. It's delightful.Read More
3 month evaluation
I chose to wait and use this comforter for 3 months BEFORE I wrote a review, as first impressions of a product don"t always mean quality over time. This comforter is EXTREMELY warm for the amount of weight it has itself. I have kept a cover on it since I bought it as I tend to be a tad perfectionistic about keeping the white cover WHITE! But the comforter itself has an extremely soft&supple material-If I didn't have to worry about washing it, the material is super cozy, alas I opt for a cover! Now the only con is the initial 'down shedding'....if you have EVER owned a feather comforter before, you know that it's inevitable that in the 'infant' years of your comforter, the smallest down feathers are going to make thier way out of the comforter-no matter how high count the cover-these tiny blasted things get everywhere; I am just over 3 months and it's finally slowing down. The total amount shed was probably only a toddler sized hand full of 1-4mm sized down;noticeable only because I have dark plum colored cover&linens-never would have guessed it was even shedding had I not seen them! I have yet to even feel a real feather-the ones that most other comforters have that randomly poke you and you try to grab em&they suck back in---not with this one! Best Buy! The last down/feather comforter I bought I paid three times the price for&had way more problems with by the time 3 months rolled around!Read More
The cover on this product is fine. However, several of the channels don't have any fill in them and the remainder are filled very unevenly. It also does not seem to be any where near the weight as advertised. The compartments around the perimeter are the only ones filled appropriately. I will have to purchase another one later and hope that I get better consistency in filling than this one.Read More
I was so excited to receve this. Most of the reviews were great and I was expecting a wonderful down comforter to keep me warm this winter. Boy, was I ever wrong. The fabric actually feels ok, but it would be nice to have some down in a down comforter. 700 fill yeah right. There is some in this spot and that corner, but it is so unevenly distributed ( even fluff after fluff ) that I am just giving up and returning it. What's so bad is that I bought three of these awful things ( two for family gifts ). I won't even give them to anyone because I would be embarassed to do so. The list price is ridiculous. There is no way this thing ever cost that much anywhere. It shouldn't cost more than $20 and I still wouldn't buy again. Needless to say, very upset about this item.Read More
too thin
I was very disappointed in this item. It's more like a down blanket. I would never call it a comforter. It's not much more than 1/2 " thick. Not at all what I was expecting as a "comforter".Read More
not worth it
I would not buy this at all. It is not what is described. i went through 2 comforters hoping that it was a fluke. However, Some of the squares haven't feathers so the comforter is lopsided not to mention that it is not warm. I would be better off putting a sheet on my bed.Read More

What brand is this i thought this is 'Hotel Grand'. I just received my comforter in a medium sized bag thinking it was going to be bigger and heavier. and it appears that my comforter is light and flat and made by "Blue Ridge Home Fashions"? my comforter is missing fill and is flat and not fluffing up whats so ever and flatter than my alternative down comforter. care to answer?
Hello carolp, thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Will a king sized duvet cover fit over this oversized king comforter?
Thank you for your question katiderevere. Yes, will fit the oversized king comforter. Have a great day.
I purchased three of these comforters last year. Nice, if you can handle the loose feathers that cover everything! The all leak feathers so badly they now are folded up and unusable until I find some sort of cover/liner for each one. Even with a quality dovet cover the feathers are too much! Any good advise on a cover?
What might help you the most is a duvet set. They are made to encompass comforters, try item number 11690516.
Does this product have a warranty? I have only had the item since December and a seam has come out of it and there is down all over my bedroom. Not really all that thrilled about that.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
I guess I should have been a bit more clear w/my question, I was hoping to get the definition for "fill power". The specs for this comforter indicate that the fill power is 600. I have no idea what this means?
Fill power is a measure of the loft or "fluffiness" of a down product that is loosely related to the insulating value of the down. The higher the fill power the more insulating air pockets the down has and the better insulating ability. Fill power ranges from about 175 cm³/g (300 in³/oz) for feathers to around 900 cm³/g for the highest quality down. Higher fill powers are associated with a larger percentage of down clusters and a larger average down cluster size.
View the video that's below the picture of the product it explains all you need to know about the comforters, fill power, types of comforters ect.
What is fill power?
Don't know the number- wouldn't know what to look for- but will tell you that it is a relatively thin comforter, but surprisingly comfortable and warm!
The fill power is 600.
Is this 100% cotton? If not, what is the percentage?
Thank you for your interest. This item is posted as "cotton", not a blend. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Hello, I just received the comforter. I'm unpleasantly surprized that it is NOT filled with white down, and cearly, they're some sections (squares) that have almost no filling !? Not to mention, it came in an opened non-factory plastic bag with no indications as the specifications of the product (fill power, cotton, etc). Would you care to comment ?
Send it back!
I apologize for the inconvenience. You will be contacted by Customer Care shortly.
Please visit the following page for return instructions. https://help.overstock.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3 If you need additional assistance please contact Customer Care at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446).
Is this price for a king size bed. What are tme measurements? Thank you, Jackie j
You can select a size by using the drop-down box under "Options."
Is "baffle box" construction sewn completely through - with no possible down shifting?
Yes, this item has true baffle-box construction, so it is sewn completely through.
That's what "Baffle box" means but the comforter its self it made to a lower standard so NO the product doesn't truly have "Baffle Box" witch it clearly stated by other customer in the product reviews
This is described as 'oversized' - will a queen size quilt cover fit a queen 'oversized' comforter? thank you
A standard queen-size duvet cover measures 86 inches wide by 88 inches long. This item in queen size measures 88 inches wide by 88 inches long. It is likely that it would not lay flat in a standard queen-size duvet cover.
Does it have the corner loops for the duvet ties?
Unfortunately, this comforter does not have corner loops.
How do you take care of a down comforter?
This down comforter is labeled dry clean only.
Hi, what is the country of origin for this product? Thank you.
This item is made in China.
How do you care for this comforter?
is this 100% down? or mixed with feather, if so, what's the percentage? Thank!
It is 100 percent white duck down and is not mixed with feathers.

Introducing the All-Wheel Drive Model S 70D
Today, we are introducing the Model S 70D, an all-wheel drive electric car with a 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds and a 240 mile range at 65 mph.
Even at a starting price of $75k, the Model S 70D offers a broad and compelling set of features. Moreover, when one factors in the cost advantages over an internal combustion engine vehicle, including fuel savings and incentives, the actual cost of owning Model S 70D comes to about $55k over five years (the average length of new car ownership).
Model S Has You Covered
Most cars don't improve over time. By contrast, Model S gets faster, smarter, and better as time passes. With Tesla's regular over-the-air software updates, Model S actually improves while you sleep. When you wake up, added functionality, enhanced performance, and improved user experience make you feel like you are driving a new car. We want to improve cars in ways most people didn't imagine possible.

En garanti för att inte oroa sig
Förra veckan utnämndes Model S till Årets Tjänstebil av den svenska tidningen Tjänstebilen. Vi ser att många Europeiska förare föredrar att leasa sina bilar, personligen eller via deras företag, så nu introducerar vi Teslas återköpsgaranti i alla 11 europeiska marknader där vi säljer Model S.
2,000 Superchargers
Last week Tesla reached a milestone of 2,000 Superchargers worldwide, located at almost 400 Supercharger Stations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Tesla Superchargers enable free long distance electric driving across the United States, and up and down the West and East Coasts. They connect the United Kingdom to continental Europe and stretch from the south of France to northern Norway, far up into the Arctic Circle. In China, Superchargers link major cities along the coast, and we recently opened Supercharger stations in Japan and Australia.
Roadster Road Trip Update: San Jose to Los Angeles on a Single Charge
The Roadster 3.0 package applies what we've learned from Model S to Roadster. No new Model S battery pack or major range upgrade is expected in the near term.
On the one-year anniversary of Tesla's Cross Country Rally, we set out to drive non-stop from San Jose to Los Angeles on a single charge in a prototype of the Roadster 3.0 upgrade.
Driving Range for the Model S Family
As the Model S family has expanded over time it has become more relevant to compare range from one variant to another with a consistent set of assumptions so our customers can know what to expect and make the best decision to fit their needs. This can be a bit difficult since the background test methodology and standards from the US EPA are evolving over time. There are also many customer vehicle configuration choices, both before and after purchase, that can affect range as much as or more than the vehicle platform choice itself.
Roadster 3.0
Battery technology has continued a steady improvement in recent years, as has our experience in optimizing total vehicle efficiency through Model S development. We have long been excited to apply our learning back to our first vehicle, and are thrilled to do just that with the prototype Roadster 3.0 package. It consists of three main improvement areas.
Battery Swap Pilot Program
At an event in Los Angeles last year, we showcased batteribyte technology to demonstrate that it's possible to replace a Model S battery in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank. This technology allows Model S owners in need of a battery charge the choice of either fast or free. The free long distance travel option is already well covered by our growing Supercharger network, which is now at 312 stations with more than 1,748 Superchargers worldwide. They allow Model S drivers to charge at 400 miles per hour. Now we're starting exploratory work on the fast option.
50 States in Model S
Lita Elbertson had never seen a lake before she decided join her friend Michael Fritts on an epic cross-country tour of the United States. In fact, the Hawaii resident hadn't even seen a duck. Or a Model S.
There are probably more straightforward ways to make contact with a duck, but few are more fun than driving a premium electric sedan to every state in the United States. That's what Elbertson and Fritts, a Model S owner from Upstate New York, set out to do late this summer.

Lewis Hamilton had no complaints with his one flying lap in Q3 which netted the Brit his first pole position as a Mercedes driver...
Lewis Hamilton had no complaints with his one flying lap in Q3 which netted the Brit his first pole position as a Mercedes driver.
With everyone leaving it late in the final qualifying segment, it was a mad dash at the end with the drivers getting just one opportunity to stamp their authority on qualifying.
And no one did it better than Hamilton.
The 28-year-old posted a 1:34.484 to beat Kimi Raikkonen to the coveted grid slot by 0.277s.
"It's an incredible feeling. So happy to have our first pole for some time. I'm just ecstatic really," Hamilton said. "The lap was great.
"The team has performed well all weekend so far. I hope we can carry it into tomorrow.
"It's really surprising, in P3 the Ferraris were very quick but we had really good pace in Q1 and Q2 but that last lap is really tough to get.
"We left it down to the last three minutes so you've got to get perfect out lap and the perfect lap. I really can't complain about that lap."
But while Hamilton opted to qualify on the soft Pirelli tyres, the quicker of the two options, Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button decided to with the mediums.
That put the duo out of contension of pole position, however, it means they will start the race on the more durable compound.
Asked about the Pirelli rubber, Hamilton said: "These tyres are very tricky this weekend.
"Making the option tyre last is almost impossible, so it's probably going to be a short stint at the start apart from for this guy [Raikkonen] who seems to be able to look after tyres better than most people.
"But we have good race pace. I expect a tough race but I hope we can maintain position."

this dude was ready since preseason.
Lets face it folks, the guy was getting open and catchin everything.
But no, we had to play our prized Free Agent in Naanooooo. Then we had to look for some name we recognize. Now we come to this since there is nowhere to go.
Fact is, this kid could be so much further ahead right now. But no, we have to save our faces somehow. This kid is our #3 WR as far as I am concerned. And even if he is not, he is.
Looking forward to #86

Information For:
School of Digital Sciences
Kent State University
236 Math & Computer Science Bldg
Kent, OH 44242-0001
The Master of Digital Sciences degree is a professional master's degree for graduates from a wide range of backgrounds. A Bachelor's degree in Digital Sciences is not required for admission, and students may enter in any semester.The Master of Digital Sciences program is designed to augment a student's skill set, opening the door to new career opportunities for students from diverse undergraduate backgrounds. Introductory courses expose students to graduate topics outside their undergraduate field, and six concentrations allow them to study one area in more depth. Electives provide an opportunity for customization, and the degree culminates with either an individual capstone project or a formal thesis
Due to the School's interdisciplinary nature, students have a unique opportunity to gain a graduate-level introduction to three or more areas aligned with digital sciences. A computer science course covers basic Python and C++ programming, while a technology course covers network management and design. An education course gives an overview of instructional design, and a business course examines globalization and technology strategy. Digital Sciences courses provide an overview of the newly emerging areas of enterprise architecture and data science.
Six concentrations provide an opportunity for deeper study in one of these areas. Students may continue to study in their undergraduate field or may choose to study in a complementary area. For working professionals, using this concentration to acquire a new skill set or update existing skills may open new career opportunities.
Students who are currently in a Bachelor's program at Kent State University and have a very good undergraduate record may want to consider the Combined Bachelor's and Master's program. This program allows an undergraduate student to apply for early admission to the Master of Digital Sciences degree and double-count up to 12 hours of graduate coursework toward both degrees, saving up to an entire semester of tuition and time.
Applicants for the Master of Digital Sciences degree are expected to have an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale. Applicants with a lower GPA will be considered for conditional admission. The GRE is not required but if taken will be considered in the admission process.
Applicants must submit official transcript(s), current resume, three letters of recommendation, a statement of goals and objectives for pursuing this degree, and (optionally) a statement of plans for electives.
The (required) statement of goals and objectives should explain the applicant's goals and objectives for pursuing this advanced degree. For example, the applicant may want to better prepare for a particular career, to update knowledge in a specific area or to add expertise that will make the applicant more valuable in a current career.
The (optional) statement of plans for electives should explain how the applicant plans to choose the digital sciences related electives to complement the selected concentration and undergraduate major.

Recipe by USEREMILY3260
"These deviled eggs include bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Better than your ordinary deviled eggs."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
4 slices
2 tablespoons
finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon
These are delish, with a bacony bite to the taste. I am a big fan of the old fashioned deviled eggs, but this for a summer picnic or cook out is a great alternative to the origianl!...good job!
ps. if you use real from the farm eggs you will get a more deeper yellow/orange yolk...but if you use store bought as i did when i first made these, I added a touch of red or yellow food coloring to deeping the texture a bit on the filling. Also, be sure and use older eggs, not too fresh of eggs do to the fact that fresh eggs can tear off the white in chunks when peeled, and you will think you did not cook them long enough. Hope this helps!
Even though I LOVE bacon and cheese I actually prefer the basic ones better. I'm thinking the texture of the bacon threw it for me.

I made these once for a party and now everyone wants me to bring them everytime! The most interesting part - many times people that swear they don't like deviled eggs will take 2-3 of these! I also add a little sour cream to make it smoother.
And, for decorating purposes, I put the yolk mixture into a bag, cut the corner off and pipe it into the eggs! I sprinkle it all with slices of green onion!
Very good after I made a couple adjustments. I added a little bit of finely choppedd white onion and I used bacon bits b/c it was a lot easier. My family really liked them!! They said it was a nice change to the typical deviled eggs. I also used light mayo ot lighten it up a little and reduced fat cheese.
Original review Oct 12, 2008:I don't normally love deviled eggs. Like, at all. But these were killer!Half sour cream, half mayo? Even better.
I also added a little chopped chives and
green onion and dusted the tops with paprika.
EDITED: I've made this deviled egg recipe many times now and every single time it turns out fantastic. This is also just as good with turkey bacon or pre-packaged bacon bits and I've found that this is wonderful with just about any cheese, especially white cheddar cheese or pepperjack. I like to add a little hot sauce to the filling as I'm mixing it, too. For easy piping, I used a ziploc bag that I spooned the filling into, then cut a corner out of the side of the bag. I just squeezed the egg filling carefully into the egg. When I'm finished, I just throw out the bag.
Nom. My husband and I fought over the last one. These are definetly making an
appearance for my next holiday dinner.
I pretty much followed the recipe except due to time constraints I used premade bacon that you can cook in the microwave by Oscar Meyer. It worked REALLY well and crumbled better than the regular bacon, with less mess! (You may ahve to use more than 4 though as they are much smaller.) I also crushed an extra bacon slice into a fine pulp and sprinkled in on top of the eggs. For a decorative twist I put the yolk in a pastry bag and used a wide tip to put the filling in the whites instead of spooning them in like usual. I also used light mayo, lowfat cheddar and I didn't know if I was supposed to use powedered mustard or yellow mustard, I used the yellow mustard and it worked great and added color.
I LOVE eggs -- especially when they are "deviled" -- so I used this recipe as the base for a chopped egg salad hors d'ouerve I made for a group luncheon. My personal tweakings: a tad more mayonnaise, a squirt of ketchup, 1/8 tsp. horseradish and 2 shakes of tabasco sauce. I used 18 eggs (1-1/2 dozen) to present to 8 women and, when spread rather generously on 36 toasted triangles (9 slices of bread) and topped with a tiny slice of cherry tomato, they simply disappeared! :) I, personally, attribute my "pretty platter presentation" with the success of this recipe, but, more than likely, the BACON (and 2 T. of bacon drippings which I added to the mixture) may have had something to do with it, too :). I will DEFINITELY make this again.
I'm one of the pickiest eaters in my family, so I was glad to see a recipe that didn't call for celery or onions.
The recipe tastes great, and you can even make the meal a little healthier by substituting light mayonnaise (or light Miracle Whip) and turkey bacon. I made the recipe with those ingredients plus a little paprike sprinkled on top and it tasted FANTASTIC!

JVCC DCC-4 Multi-Purpose Double Coated Cloth Tape is a high-performance, highly conformable cloth backed tape on a paper release liner. Used for carpet installation applications as well as industrial holding and mounting, the attachment of printing plates to printing cylinders, and honeycomb milling. Also suited for cushioning metal and glass against vibration.
Most double-sided cloth tapes on paper liners will show some gaping due to the cloth being much more flexible than the paper liner it is applied to; however this is just a cosmetic issue. This worsens over time and based on this product's overstock status it will show more gaping than is typical.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Can we please let the kid develop and hopefully add some talent on this team around him. How often is someone wide open? He has to be extremely accurate. He has shown some real promise. The success of luck, griffin and Wilson I think is making some of you guys forget that tannehill would need time to develop. It was assumed that he would sit behind moore or garrard his first year and mostly everyone seemed to be ok with that although most wanted him to start.
Now that he's starting instead of learning from the sideline people want to rush the development.
Our whole offense is not good. The running game gets like 2ypc. Can't run screens. Predictable crap. Two false starts in a row yesterday. Martin getting pushed on his ass. Its just been a tough year on offense in general.
All 3 rookie qbs succeeding right now were all known to be more NFL ready than Ryan tannehill. The only thing that hurt Wilson in the draft was his height. Can we please stop this week to week emotional rollercoaster. Everyone knew there would be a tough year with a rookie qb and rookie head coach but for some reason some people seem to have raised their expectations quite a bit from the start of the season.

Celebrating a Special "Sweet 16″
The San Diego American Marketing Association's Cause Conference turns 16 this year, and we're marking this milestone with our most innovative, immersive and inspiring event to date! Like most 16-year olds, this edition of the Cause Conference is eager to drive – but in this case, we're talking about driving toward transformational outcomes throughout San Diego's social sector, particularly in relation to the advancement of "purpose-driven" enterprises.
Transformation through Collaboration
If you're involved with non-profit or for-profit organizations, you'll find our thought-provoking presentations and creative, content-rich educational sessions extremely insightful and educational. This event will utilize the latest adult-learning methods and design-thinking theory to create a can't-miss Cause Conference. Our "Transformation through Collaboration" theme will illustrate how to:
- Rethink relevant terms: why having a "purpose-driven" organization applies to both non-profit and for-profit enterprises
- Redefine roles: how non-profits can emerge from the back seat and grab the social sector steering wheel (the Cause Conference is 16 and ready to drive, remember?)
- Refocus priorities with resourcefulness, not just resources
- Create, curate, collaborate and celebrate social impact to benefit your organization and the entire social sector
- Use "radical collaborations" to create transformational outcomes: a key element in advancing the mission of "purpose-driven" groups
- Enhance your efforts with a shift from egocentric to ecocentric behaviors
- Leverage the connections using creative ideas of key opinion leaders to enact meaningful change
- Understand social sector synergy to tackle challenges, enrich colleagues, form "high trust" relationships, build mutual value…and much more!
The upcoming Cause Conference is specifically tailored for purpose-driven leaders looking to further their brand's mission, build mutually beneficial relationships with other businesses and organizations, and learn from like-minded individuals. The collaborative nature of the event makes it an ideal platform for business leaders, students and other thriving individuals in the San Diego marketplace, as well as social sector marketing executives, writers, salespeople, advertising associates and others.
Our 2014 Cause Conference is essential for anyone looking to optimize their interactions with the social environment, harness the collective intelligence from networks, and make positive impacts in their networks. Other key points will include leadership & engagement, friend-raising & fund-raising, effective storytelling techniques and many more. Our previous 15 Cause Conferences offered exceptional value and with applicable knowledge that attendees took with them to implement in real situations. This year's event will be our best yet, with contributions from purpose-driven companies and non-profits like SDG&E, Cox Communications, Mission Federal Credit Union and Qualcomm.
