Go Jill!
Jill has received notice that her thesis has been accepted for defense. Congratulations! (we never doubted that of course it would be accepted :)). I wonder what green-eyed monster it is, that often forces us to focus more on the bad things that the good things in reviews. Jill is doing the right thing by in the end sticking to all the positive comments.

Think of it in this way: the critical comments are there to help you think and rethink aspects of your work in order to be able to engage in a fruitful dialogue with some rather smart people who are very interested in your work. Because, if they weren't really interested in your work, they wouldn't be in your committee!

I hope to go to Bergen, so I can report almost live from the event (need to figure out how to sms to my blog...)
