EAST LANSING (AP) — Michigan State needs freshman Denzel Valentine to turn his potential into production.
"I'm expecting big things out of him," Spartans coach Tom Izzo said.
The versatile guard likely will play an expanded role when the 12th-ranked Spartans (18-4, 7-2 Big Ten) host No. 18 Minnesota (18-4, 5-4) on Wednesday night.
"He's not a freshman anymore," Izzo said. "One way or another, we're going to need him."
Backup point guard Travis Trice wasn't in uniform during Monday's practice while starting shooting guard Gary Harris participated in some drills with his teammates. Trice and Harris were both knocked out of last week's win against Illinois. Harris had back spasms. Trice had a head injury and needs to pass a concussion test to play.
Izzo said he doubts Trice will be in the lineup against the Golden Gophers and said Harris probably will be able to play.
"If those two guys couldn't play, we are down to the nitty gritty," Izzo said.
Harris said he's feeling better after dealing with back spasms for the first time. He hopes to play Wednesday.
Valentine played for his father, Carton, a former Spartan, in high school and led Lansing Sexton to two straight Class B state championships. When Izzo was an assistant, Carlton Valentine was playing for former Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote. Now that Izzo is in charge of the program, and is coaching his son, he tries to avoid being an overbearing presence. Continued...
"He trusts the coaches," Denzel Valentine said. "He doesn't need to overdo it because I get enough of it out here."
Valentine and reporters chuckled because he often catches the wrath of his intense coach.
"My dad was kind of that like," he said. "He got after us, too. It has been passed down from generation to generation. He played here, and he learned after Jud and coach (Izzo) learned after Jud. I was kind of prepared for. It's nothing I can't handle. Coach is a good coach who gets you motivated in certain ways."
Valentine is coming off perhaps his best game and the timing might be perfect for his team.
He scored a season-high 14 points to help Michigan State rally in the second half to beat the Fighting Illini. He also grabbed three rebounds, made two assists and had a steal.
"I needed a game like this to get my confidence back, especially with Travis gone and Gary out," Valentine said.
More importantly for the team, he had only one turnover. In Valentine's last six games, he has had two turnovers once and one or fewer in every other game. The previous seven games, he averaged three-plus turnovers.
After getting frustrated by Valentine's carelessness with the ball, Izzo is starting to trust him again.
"What's the main difference in games?" Izzo asked. "It's turnovers. It doesn't matter what sport."
Valentine insisted he would feel pressure to perform no matter what school he chose to attend, then acknowledged he does have more people watching him closely — and staying in touch with him — because he's playing next to his hometown. And, he's the son of a former Spartan standout. Continued...
"I try not to feed into everybody texting me and calling me about what I need to do and what I need not to do," he said. "I just need to listen to my coaches and teammates and coaches and I'll be fine."

"Thermal Expansion Valve and Defrost resistor"
The Lennox heat pump installed in our new home is less than two years old and already the Thermal Expansion valve required replacement. Service person also found that there is a discharge sensor fault and this indicates there is a bad resistor. This requires that the entire wiring harness needs replacement. Not only did our electric bill skyrocket when the TEV malfunctioned now here comes the repair bills. It is worth it to me to junk this worthless Lennox product and get a TRAIN unit.

"Another Lennox Lemon"
Bought a new complete heat pump system indoor and outdoor unit on October 5th,2006. One week after the one year warranty the outdoor compressor fan seizes up. Service man came to house and after shelling out $300 he imformed me that Lennox and other manufacturers have stopped using American made fans and they now use Chinese units that are seizing up in greater quantity. One and a half years later the unit stops working with a low pressure lockout. Service man discovers low freon in the system and kindly imforms me it will be another $435 charge. One and a half years and again a low pressure lockout and no heat pump for 3 days. Service man imforms me that the factory solder on the low pressure side of the compressor has a very slow leak in it and that it will cost $635 to evacuate freon, repair the solder joint, and replace the line filter but not for 2 weeks because they are backed up. Some people will say that the service stinks but this is not the case. I originally wanted a York unit reinstalled in my house but the salesman convince me that the Lennox was a better unit with higheer Seer rating than the York unit. What a mistake I have made. I spent $6500 for the unit, $300 for a fan, $435 for service call and freon, and $635 for a repair on a factory solder. What do you think are my chances with Lennox Consumer Affairs? Slim and None.

"Do Not Buy Lennox!"
My heat pump is 14 months old and was defective when installed. I have a 10 year parts and service warranty and now the company that installed it wants $2,500.00 to fix it. The defrosters have never worked (even after the board and sensors were replaced), the High Pressure Switch had to be replaced, and now the coil ruptured and let out all the freon. Not only is the heat pump a piece of junk, the companay that sells them has no idea what they are doing when they come out to do a quote. Lennox apparently isn't choosey about who is allowed to represent them.

"Don't buy a Lennox"
Our unit is not even 5 1/2 years old. The first year we had to add 3lbs coolant. The next year we had to replace the fan motor. Then the air flaps have had to be replace every year since we've had it and now the coil is leaking and Lennox will not cover it under warranty because the do not go over 5 years. We only called a tech to look at it because the last few months our electric bill kept going up alot. I waited for 1 hour and 45 min for someone from Lennox to talk to me and to tell me too bad. Never, Never, Never buy a Lennox!!!!!!!!!

"Dont buy Lennox"
Our unit is not yet 5 1/2 years old and we have had to replace a part every year. Now the coil is leaking and Lennox will not cover the warranty (which is 5years). The only reason we found that it was leaking is our electric bill has been rising over the past several months and we were trying to conserve as much as possible.

"Don't buy Lenox"
We installed 3 Lenox Heat Pumps three years ago. Since that time there have been 16 service calls because one of the heat pumps is not working. Now I have another heat pump that is not working. When they fail they go on to strip heating that drives up my light bill so I now check weekly to make sure the fans are turning which is the only way I can be sure the heat pump is working. We have had a Lenox rep out here and have changed to a new HVAC company but the problems continue. If this new repair is over $500.00 I am going to replace the unit and start to rid myself of these. I want Lenox out of my life.

"It's really hard to describe what it's like to actually have a great whiteswimming toward you or next to you, it's really breathtaking," said Ocean Ramsey, who is a model and diver who lives on Oahu.
It was a journey into a shark's world.
In October, Ocean Ramsey, diver-model Kimi Werner, and a group of videographer friends entered shark territory off of Mexico.
Out of the cages they came and into the deep blue.
"It was definitely amazing," said Morgan Ball, who shot most of it with his Go-Pro.
Capt. Chris Wade planned the trip and shot video too.
Ball said a seemingly calm female great white became the chariot for a thrilling ride.
"She allowed us to get close to her to the point where we could touch her and Ocean and Kimi were both able to ride her," he said.
"I've seen a couple myself. They're quite an eye opener when you do run into one," said Local shark expert John Naughton.
He said shark populations are heavy in Mexico and California, but can migrate to Hawaii to feed or breed.

Multiemployer Insurance Program Fact Sheet
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) safeguards the retirement income of about 10 million workers and retirees in about 1,500 multiemployer defined benefit pension plans. These workers are among the more than 40 million whose pensions are protected under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
A multiemployer plan is a collectively bargained pension arrangement involving unrelated employers, usually in a common industry, such as construction, trucking, textiles, or coal mining. This contrasts to a single-employer plan, which may be sponsored by either one employer (pursuant or not pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement) or by several unrelated employers (but not pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement). A defined benefit plan provides a specified monthly benefit at retirement. In many multiemployer plans, the participant's benefit is based on a flat dollar amount for each year of service.
PBGC's insurance programs were created as part of ERISA in 1974 to assure retirees pension benefit protection. In 1980 Congress enacted the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act (MPPAA) to strengthen the pension protection program for multiemployer plans. The amendments established mandatory requirements for financially weak multiemployer plans in "reorganization" and imposed new financial requirements on employers dropping out of multiemployer programs. Employers who cease to contribute to multiemployer plans are generally liable to the plan for their share of the plan's underfunding.
The Program:
The multiemployer program is funded and maintained separately from PBGC's other insurance program, which covers only single-employer plans. Each multiemployer plan pays an annual insurance premium of $9 per participant to PBGC, increasing to $12 per participant for the 2013 plan year. Under the multiemployer program, PBGC provides financial assistance through loans to plans that are insolvent (that is, plans that are unable to pay basic PBGC-guaranteed benefits when due). Before a plan receives financial assistance from PBGC, it must suspend payment of all benefits in excess of the guarantee level.
Benefits Guaranteed by PBGC in Multiemployer Pension Plans:
MPPAA established a benefit guarantee limit for participants in multiemployer plans equal to the participant's years of service multiplied by the sum of (1) 100 percent of the first $5 of the monthly benefit accrual rate and (2) 75 percent of the next $15 of the accrual rate. For a participant with 30 years of service under the plan, the maximum PBGC-guaranteed benefit was $5,850 per year. This benefit guarantee formula remains in effect for participants in multiemployer plans that received financial assistance from PBGC at any time during the period from December 22, 1999, to December 21, 2000. The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001, signed into law on December 21, 2000, increased the benefit guarantee in multiemployer plans to the product of a participant's years of service multiplied by the sum of (1) 100 percent of the first $11 of the monthly benefit accrual rate and (2) 75 percent of the next $33 of the accrual rate. For someone with 30 years of service, this raised the guaranteed limit to $12,870.
Financial Picture:
Until 2003, the multiemployer insurance program had shown growing financial strength since enactment of the 1980 amendments. However, the program (which is vulnerable to the same economic and demographic pressures that have threatened the single-employer program) has reported a deficit every year since 2003. At the end of 2012, the program's deficit stood at $5.2 billion.
Since 1980, PBGC has provided financial assistance to 81 multiemployer plans. During 2012, 49 of these plans received assistance. At the end of fiscal year 2012, the multiemployer program had assets of $1.8 billion and total liabilities of $7.0 billion. Most of these liabilities represent nonrecoverable future financial assistance to the 41 plans currently receiving financial assistance and to other plans expected to receive such assistance in the future.

Anonymous has made an announcement of sorts, found in the Business Insider website:
If the "party" Anonymous suggests came into being, the process would be interesting to watch. True, a republic is not a democracy. A true democracy would require the entire population to vote on every single issue that came up in the legislature for consideration, including procedural votes and so the Founders chose a republic model. The implementation of a true democracy is fraught with problems and would effectively isolate most of the general population (which is why the two major political entities have monopolized the process). Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
Would online voting be implemented? What about security issues that have plagued the Internet and its users? Would the participation be broad and inclusive or would handful of regulars effectively control the dialog and the vote? And more importantly, would they have the numbers to influence the committee process which effectively prevents voting to ever take place. Remember that to function within the existing procedures that allows commttess to bottle up legislation, a third party would have to lobby the Republicans and Democrats to push for a vote on any particular issue.
The Constitution is prevailing law and those that want to change the process are obligated to abide by its procedures until a Constitutional Amendment is passed; not impossible, but a difficult process to be sure.
However, kudos to Anonymous for a very constructive addition to the process that is taking place across the country.You can vote at this link:

Tax Relief Help
IRS tax relief help in Alaska begins with professionals trained in back taxes, tax audits, and IRS garnishments. Our team of tax resolution professionals offer tax debt relief through negotiations, tax settlements, tax return preparation, and advocating for our clients in AK.Working with the IRS can be very intimidating, and the IRS counts on your fear to repay every penny owed. If you know you need tax relief help but are scared of the legal hurdles, it's best to seek out a tax attorney, a CPA or an Enrolled Agent to guide you through the process. We can work with you to file back taxes, reduce tax debt and IRS penalties, provide support during IRS tax audits, and help remove an IRS levy and asset seizures. It takes someone with experience and knowledge of the tax laws to combat the sometimes unfair practices of the IRS. IRS Tax Settlement / Offer in CompromiseNationwide Tax Group offers IRS tax relief help in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our specialists are committed to helping consumers out of their financial struggles through honest, service-oriented partnerships focused on tax relief help. We can answer your questions and represent you with regard to IRS levies, audits, back taxes, an IRS tax settlement, penalty abasement, and even state tax issues. Fill out our consultation request form to start your free evaluation, get us working for you, and put an end to your IRS problems. Back Taxes HelpAn IRS collection notice can be scary, and it may be just the beginning of your problems. A lot of times, your issue is related to not filing back taxes or improperly filing your taxes. IRS auditors are trained to build strong cases against taxpayers who do not know where to turn for tax relief help and do not have professional representation. It's always best to seek assistance from a CPA, Enrolled Agent, or Tax Attorney. By working with our tax specialists, you can maximize the deductions and credits for unfiled returns and potentially settle the debt for less than the IRS would have charged. IRS Wage Garnishment / IRS Levy ReleaseAre you willing to sacrifice 75% of your paycheck ? Not most people are either!!! Unfortunately, this happens to many people. Some people just don't know that there are alternatives to this type of IRS enforcement action and they just keep going to work, even though they know they will lose most of their paycheck, when it doesn't have to be that way. One of the best ways to deal with an IRS wage garnishment is to take action immediately. By calling our tax resolution specialists for help, you gain access to experienced professionals who will work to stop the paycheck deductions and implement an alternative settlement instead. Although it usually takes at least a few days, many of our clients have had garnishments released within hours of retaining us. IRS Audit HelpEven taxpayers who have paid their taxes on time, filed their return properly and never dreamed they would need tax audit help can panic when an IRS notice of examination arrives in the mail. Since auditors focus on errors and omissions, taxpayers without appropriate representation can find themselves owing much more than they imagined. If you are at risk for an IRS tax audit, give us a call. We'll do an evaluation of your case and let you know what we feel is the best course of action. We understand your legal obligations and can work with you to build your case against the IRS. Anchorage AK

Personal Messaging temporarily unavailable.
No, you haven't messed me up, Meemaw...at least not yet. So far, my scorecard is keeping track of all the players.
...But I'm still waiting for the results of running the wacdump/xxd tests WITH the newest Wacom drivers and WITHOUT XWindows running on the system. The method I outlined for simply disabling XWindows autostart will work on either system.
Some further late-breaking news:I just tried rebooting my system into failsafe mode WITHOUT my tablet plugged in. Once I got to a single-user mode prompt, I plugged in my tablet...AND THE KERNEL MODULE DID NOT LOAD!I manually loaded it and verified that the proper usb dependencies linked up. I checked the /proc/bus/input/devices report and it properly reported the new event node. But the node wasn't created in the /dev/input directory! Any results from Coyoteawoo's failsafe -mode test must verify the proper creation of the /dev/input nodes as well.This only happens if the tablet is plugged in before the computer is turned on and booted.
To verify the existance of the tablet node in safe mode, simply do a directory listing like this:ls /dev/inputDon't forget to verify that the event nodes complement the list of handlers in /proc/bus/input/devices
Oh, yeah, something else I just learned about the more command: While the spacebar scrolls text by one screenful, the enter key scrolls text by one line.
Ohhh...you ain't getting rid of me THAT easy!
The Wacom driver not being quite ready for Prime Time was one of the conclusion I was reaching as of last night; that and hardware being defective somewhere. I was ready to recommend contacting Ping Chen (the Wacom employee who oversees the Linux Wacom driver development) for advice. Either that or return the Bamboo and get a Graphire or Intuos instead.
Now that we've got some sort of positive response, we need to tell XWindows that it's a pressure-sensitive tablet and not just another USB mouse.BTW, have you tried the wacdump utility to test stylus pressure, tilt, and eraser? Did your tablet come with a puck as well (a cordless mouse)? If so, does it work as well?
The .fdi and .rules files might be handy for HAL and udev to set up and track the /dev/input nodes and any necessary links so the system doesn't break if , say, a USB mouse is plugged in during startup. That could shift the event nodes. If we can get udev and HAL to create a /dev/input/wacom symlink pointing to the proper event node whatever it might be, you won't have to worry about that.FDI files go in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/ (PCLOS is set up similar to Ubuntu in that respect); udev rules are in /lib/udev/rules.d. Reboot and see if you get a /dev/input/wacom and/or /dev/input/bamboo[plus other gibberish] symlinks that point to the /dev/input/eventx node. If so, then the HAL and udev files are doing their jobs and will hopefully make sure that the tablet is always connected to the right input node no matter how much things shift around. Test those symlinks as well; its better to use a stable symlink that always points to the right event node than trying to figure out what made everything shift around.In preparation for the final step, post your xorg.conf file, or PM it to me; its rather lengthy. You can find it under /etc/X11.
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Stylus1" Driver "wacom" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "stylus"EndSectionSection "InputDevice" Identifier "Eraser1" Driver "wacom" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "eraser"EndSectionSection "InputDevice" Identifier "Cursor1" Driver "wacom" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "cursor"EndSectionSection "InputDevice" Identifier "Pad1" Driver "wacom" Option "Device" "/dev/input/wacom" Option "Type" "pad"EndSection
InputDevice "Stylus1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Eraser1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Cursor1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Pad1" "SendCoreEvents"
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Stylus1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Eraser1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Cursor1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Pad1" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" Screen "screen1"EndSection
The wacdump utility doesn't seem to understand the new driver structure for the Bamboo. This could be either you have an older version that you're running (doubtful, since you pulled the package from your system before compiling) or that the development version that you ARE using is broken in terms of support for the newer Bamboo models. If you run wacdump -l [that's a lowercase "L"]does the list of supported models include anything other than just a single "bamboo" line. That's what I get with the old package from the Repository.
(editing xorg.conf)Bottom line: Let's just follow Wacom's recommendations for now.Your tablet is now configured for use as a pressure-sensitive tablet under XWindows.
Start the GIMP (well, D-U-U-U-H!!). ---snip---The new dialog box that pops up will have a scroll list on the top labeled "Device." You should see several devices with familiar names: Pad1, Stylus1, Cursor1, etc. just like what you put into xorg.conf
That should get you rolling with your new toy.

Some Arnold CA residents prefer home television that simply delivers the basics. If that's where your needs live, then you'll want to consider the Essential plan from Cox Cable. Even though it's an entry-level plan, you can still tune into a high number of channels, as many as 95. The Essential plan, along with all Cox TV plans in Arnold CA, features your local TV stations at no extra monthly cost.

At any time, you can add the likes of HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and Starz and tune into A-list feature films, plus hit original series and exclusive movie showings.

The list of available channels in HD from Cox TV runs deep and continues to add more listings all the time. It creates a unique cinematic experience that's six times sharper than regular TV resolution.

This includes top Hollywood feature films and world class events like musical performances and international sports competitions. The mix of entertainment and events always changes.

Highly coveted by 21012 Cox subscribers, premium channels like Showtime, Cinemax, HBO and Starz offer hit Hollywood features, plus award-winning original series and movies.

I would purchase again

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Cap Barbell Heavy Duty Flooring:
Purchased to match other mats which I bought several years ago. Good durable weight mat.The negatives (as other reviewers have stated), the smell is terrible, rubber/chemical smell, even irritates my eyes. Left on porch for 1 month too "air out". Still has a strong odor. My previous mats did not have this strong odor. Also, these mats are cut uneven/wavy, don't line up, edge to edge with my other mats. (1/8" or more gap/space in some areas because the cut is so uneven). Can see the floor through the gap. Sent one back for this reason and the replacement was also cut uneven but kept it because it's such a pain to send back. The mat does serve it's purpose and the biggest negative is the strong smell.

better than expected
By mars-man
from Sterling, VA
this is better than described. Thick enough to stay in place and built to last longer that I ever will. The initial smell of processed rubber is a strong but goes away after a month or two and leaves you with years of satisfaction.

This mat literally stinks!
By dking121
from Stafford, Texas
About Me Frequent Exerciser
This is a great heavy duty mat and I expect it will do a good job protecting my carpet from my treadmill, but I cannot use it yet because of the overwhelming rubber tire odor that has filled my whole house and has resulted in me dragging it out to my deck to air out. I hope the smell will be gone soon.

The America that gave the president a second term and ushered in a string of cultural firsts was formed at a time of dramatic changes that were starting to take root just around the time Obama was born in 1961.
"The '60s culture wars won, and that's a legacy that we're now seeing," said Julian Zelizer, political historian at Princeton University and CNN contributor.
"Doing away with taboos" -- about race, sexuality, drugs and gender roles -- accompanied a rejection of government control over sex and drugs, particularly marijuana, he said.
"Most of America, even in the red states, moved in a more liberal direction, even in areas where they're conservative on taxes and government spending."
Now, more and more children of the '60s have kids of their own who are not only old enough to vote but who are politically active, reaching out to other new voters and reshaping the political spectrum, he said.
So the same growing population that wants government to stay out of same-sex relationships, marijuana use and contraception also wants a racially inclusive government, analysts said.
That's where Democrats have succeeded and Republicans lag far behind.
It's a reality Republican analyst Alex Castellanos, a CNN contributor, described as he was absorbing the "beating" the GOP took Tuesday.
There is "kind of a 1950s America that we lost," Castellanos said. "It's an old way of looking at the world."
Inclusiveness vs. polarization

This tutorial will be useful for stock illustrators, because it helps to create free-form gradient in spite of limited toolkit for EPS 8 files.
Here is what we'll can do.
We can use Blend Tool for simple objects to get curved gradient.
Like this.
But with complex objects it is hard to do gradient without Filters.
You can see "Gradient" made with Blend Tool and with my method (Right one).
Let's start. First of all I made 21 squares and set different brightness to all of them with step 10%.
Now group all objects and drug-and-drop it to the Brushes window. Window "New Brush" will appear Select "New Pattern Brush" and press "Ok" button.
Now you can give name for your new brush.
We made brush, but we need to create "corners" for acute angles.
Create circle and align it with two copies of "gradient" we made before, like on the image below. Circle's line must be at the middle of the "gradient" lines.
Apply your new brush to the circle. You will get this.
Now Expand and Ungroup object.
Delete three quarters of the circle.
Group the rest of circle, make a copy and Reflect it, drug-and-drop both objects to the "Swatches" window.
Open "Brush Options" window for our brush...
... and apply "corners" we made.
Our brush is ready. You can apply it to any shape you like.

He came from a royal lineage, but it was France that placed Sihanouk on the throne in 1941, according to the foreign ministry of Australia, which has played a key role in Cambodia's transition toward peace.
The king dissolved the nation's parliament in 1953, which helped bring about Cambodia's independence. Two years later, he abdicated the throne to his father but remained active as Cambodia's prime minister. In 1960, he became the South Asian nation's head of state following his father's death.
In the 1960s, amid a region simmering with conflicts such as the Vietnam War, Cambodia soon became home to a number of North Vietnamese training camps. That prompted U.S. air strikes on those camps in 1969.
The following year, U.S.-backed Gen. Lon Nol declared a coup d'etat while the king was on an official visit to the Soviet Union and abolished the monarchy.
Sihanouk aligned with the Khmer Rouge, a growing ultra-Maoist group which sought to transform Cambodia into an agrarian utopia.
The king, forced into exile in China, led the resistance movement, while the Khmer Rouge gradually gained strength.
When the group, led by Pol Pot, won control of Cambodia in 1975, Sihanouk returned as head of state. But by the following year, he was placed under house arrest.
From 1975 to 1979, the Khmer Rouge led a bloody period of mass killings, public executions and torture centers. While no one knows for certain how many people were killed by the regime, experts estimate 1.7 million fatalities -- or at least a quarter of Cambodia's population -- died from executions, diseases, starvation and overwork
Sihanouk himself lost five children and 14 grandchildren at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. He was confined to the royal palace until Pol Pot was overthrown three years later. He was away from Cambodia from 1979 to 1991.
The king subsequently became president of the new republic, but it wasn't until 1993 -- when Cambodia held its first parliamentary elections -- that the king's powers were restored and Cambodia became a constitutional monarchy.

Rugs USA Poufs Moroccan Ottoman Dark Grey
Item #: 200SAPOU1A-P
$163 - $170 + FREE SHIPPINGFeatures: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Poufs
- Brand: Rugs USA
- Size: 14" H x 20" W x 20" D
- Upholstery: Leather
- Finish: Dark Grey
- Type: [Ottomans]
- Origin: Morocco
- Available in the following sizes: 14" H x 20" W x 20" D
I didnt like the ottoman. It was mis-shapen, there is a zipper and it is in plain view. Nothing like advertised. Returned the item.
Very nice item. I received this item very fast.I recommend this item to a friend of mine.And I'm sure she will like it.What really made me like this item was the print on it, it remind me of African style items, And my house is full of African items.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I have wanted one of these for quite awhile but couldn't find a white leather "poof". The only reason I returned it is the overall size was too small for the large white chair I wanted to pair it with. As other reviewers have stated, the shipping carton is slightly undersized and flimsy. Ottoman had no interior cover to keep it from getting dirty during shipping. tmtrkldr
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Great price! Cheaper than any other website I have viewed them on. I was concerned at first when I received the package because it was destroyed and when I removed the packaging tape and opened the box, the pouf was just kind of crammed in there with no protectants. Luckily, the pouf was still in tact. Would definitely recommend!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.great pouf! best quality and price I found after looking around. you won't regret it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.What can I say...I love Rugs Usa. Fabulous product, great prices, excellent service - i would highly recommend.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I have been eyeing up these poufs for a while now; however, the price was holding me back until I found them on rugsusa.com. They had the best price compared to every other place I have seen them. I also received an additional 20% off, which was fantastic. I received it today and was scared to open the box because of how the packaging was when it arrived. It was completely beat up and ripped, luckily, when I opened it the pouf was still in good condition. I would suggest they package their stuff better to prevent damage. Anyway, the pouf is great! I ordered a yellow one and really like it, I wish it were a tad bigger, but that isn't rugsusa's fault. I would recommend. I will be buying another one!! Thanks for a great price!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Go ahead and play MW2 ---- then Come talk about MW3
Like (0)
To those who talk about MW2 as if it were a miracle from Zeus himself, up yours! MW2 is the campers prom date, filled with chock spots, hiding spots that actually help people perfectly in the environment, OMA (amazing but seriously abusive), what about the pill thing = they never die!
Try to fight your way through a opening, house, can barely tell when someone's flashed! MW3 though missing enhanced lag comp is a much more complex, fair, worthy game!
So go play MW2 try it, its not hacked, its fine. Its simply another game style that was played and with MW3 we can now officially fight that camping defensive style!
So GO CAMP IN MW2 do not come to MW3 and think your the "one"
MW2 got overtaken by cheaters. Never had a lag issue.
You know what would be cool!? If you deflated your head a little and not cry camper everytime you die. Your playstyle is not superior and you'll never get far in this game if you don't learn to adapt
mora! Perhaps you didn't read correctly, this current game MW3 is superior than MW2 and its EXTREMELY GOOD camping. I LOVE going vs against a camper, in MW2 you have the entire team camping same choke hold! Pay attention.
MW3's maps+speed is not CAMPER friendly, unless you are those who talk about how grand camping is in MW2 or 3 then you sir can eat my shorts!
You're post makes no sense
that is your response! Go figure!
Well your repost on "your post makes no sense" makes no sense". HA
MW2 is pretty good right now. Major flaw is danger close explosives turning games a bit silly. Use FMJ if you can't get through a door it works pretty well. Stopping power against cold blood is pretty even. Painkiller doesn't last forever?
Camping is a superior playstyle. Adapt to people pulling what 3-4-5 kdrs dropping moabs without thinking like whoa maybe I got some awesome handouts. Where are all the adaptation videos of guys beasting and what are they doing. Ego is the only thing keeping this game alive because people who are right will always take down those who are successful given enough time.
I have not seen a cheater in MW2.
Edit: It is impossible to understand what you are saying and you seem a little crazy. Painkiller for a camper? Getting through a door as a camper?
Pretty good? Look I do not care how you play, camping is simply the worse form of online gaming! PERIOD! Effective unfortunately yes, BORING absolutely, FUN what is fun, GUTLESS im not yellow belly, SKILLFUL can you spell that soldier!
I am really having a lot of trouble understanding you. Camping isn't too bad so long as decent counters exist. I feel mw3 dropped the ball a little but in mw2 resorting to danger close explosives could turn the game into a silly nade fest.
I am sorry you are having troubles,
Camping is the equivalent of having B*IT*CH tits! Sorry.
And who says "silly" in war games? Really guy!
Play MW2 with everyone using danger close and tubes. It feels silly.
I am against camping. It needs to exist but players should regulate thier behavior for the good of the game.
You sound very political and that's good, you fellas are cool. This problem is not about camping, its about the game of MW3 does not permit the ridiculous impossible to over come through fire fighting thing to happen!
Are you boys all zombies!
You are confusing me. In real life the only way to fight through an ambush is superior firepower. That was removed in MW3 (in my opinion). People take advantage of that but there really isn't anyone saying "hey don't do that" except on the boards which are mostly useless arguements that last forever then are forgotten.
Darkstar92 you seem nice, but your not realizing I am not talking about real life, what style is better, I am STATING MW3 is SUPERIOR to MW2 to those who mention it as if the game was the rebirth of our good lord pewee herman... huh?
I concede this argument to you and wish you luck.
Black ops was better than mw2 and better than mw3.
So go play MW2 try it, its not hacked, its fine. Its simply another game style that was played and with MW3 we can now officially fight that camping defensive style!
This samgold character looks like he attacked the forum yesterday! hahaha maybe thats his rushing technique...
I hate to say it, he makes a point on MW2 vs MW3 (not BOPS)
He is stating, that MW3 allows us players the opportunity to fight our way through effective camping. I say yes!
I agree that mw3 is exceptionally better then mw2. mw2 is hacked badly, this I have seen myself. Black Ops didn't seem to hold up the way I remembered it. As far as campers good or bad ... well you play your way and i'll play mine. Meaning accept everyones playstyle as what they want and you play the way you want. Seeing as how everyone has paid to play unless they are hacking all is far in love and wargames!
I tried playing MW2 yesterday, I gave up after a couple of games BECAUSE of all the cheating and hacks. How do you explain jumping 40, 50 feet into the air or calling in an attack helecopter and AC-130 within 10 seconds of the game starting?
I haven't played MW2 much since the next two games came out. I played COD4 like a year ago to prestige for a prestige token and there were a lot of the super speed lobbies. I played W@W a couple of months ago and people were calling in dogs at the start of each round of search. They also had their youtube channels on the screen. Left to play TDM and there is a guy with god mode on the other team.
The only thing MW2 has to MW3 is connectivity and slightly better maps, that's it.

Rugs USA Tuscan Trellis I Flatwoven Navy Rug
Item #: 200MTVS20A-P
$173 - $627 + FREE SHIPPINGFeatures: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Tuscan
- Brand: Rugs USA
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Flatweave
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs Transitional Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 7' 6" x 9' 6"
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
The look is nice and I like the grey color but the rug does not lay flay at all. The edges are woven tighter than the interior so the inside bubbles up all over the place. I thought I just needed to give it a little time to get walked on and stretched and let ie "relax" but it is definitely not happening and we are tripping over the dumb thing all day long. Now I'm afraid I've waited too long hoping it would flatten out, to return it. Total Bummer.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Great rug. The color I ordered was the off white ground and a seafoam pattern. Just beautiful and the price was excellent!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was looking for a trendy, inexpensive rug to update my space without breaking my budget. This one is perfect. It isn't a thick, heavy rug, and likely won't last generations, but it's a perfect choice for a trend.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.My rug has arrived in a timely fashion. It is exactly what my room needed. The yellow with white design shows up beautifully in my blue livingroom.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love this rug. Beautiful, bright royal blue color. No shedding
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I bought this rug in the sand color and the material of this rug is rough and a little itchy, its not plush at all, in fact its a very thin rug. I love the design but I think i will be sending it back since the texture and lack of quality make it look less elegant.
