Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic described the Hague war crimes court as a biased "inquisition" during a UN General Assembly debate that was boycotted by the US as inflammatory.
At the UN debate on Wednesday about the role of international war crimes courts, organised by the current Serbian president of the assembly, Vuk Jeremic, the Belgrade leadership took the opportunity to attack the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, ICTY, which it believes is biased against Serbs.
Nikolic said that the ICTY was unfair because of its "systematic atmosphere of lynch-mobbing of everything that is Serbian", which made reconciliation in the Balkans even harder.
"ICTY trials will never reach the real truth, that is why the reconciliation will not be real and honest," he said.
Belgrade was angered by last year's war crimes acquittal of two Croatian generals, Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac.
Nikolic also cited war crimes trial defendant Vojislav Seselj, the former leader of the Serbian Radical Party, of which Nikolic was once a member, as an example of unfair treatment.
"Vojislav Seselj has been in The Hague for 11 years, which is a precedent in legal history," Nikolic said.
But Ranko Vilovic, Croatia's representative at the UN, said the ICTY deserved support. "Croatia, as a victim of aggression, has strongly supported the work of the ICTY… Maybe we didn't always agree with some decisions made, but we always supported the work," said Vilovic.
The US boycotted the debate, alongside Canada and Jordan, describing it as "unbalanced" and "inflammatory"…

The heart that pumps orange blood through my body feels extra heavy today.
One year ago today the Broncos were hit with a loss that doesn't compare to any gameday defeat. Wide receiver Kenny McKinley, 23, committed suicide in his Denver home.
McKinley was a key player on special teams in 2009, and was placed on the IR in August of 2010 due to a knee injury.
The Broncos organization has suffered their fair share of tragedy with the deaths of Darrent Williams (drive-by shooting) and Damien Nash's (collapsed after a charity basketball game) in 2007, and McKinley last year.
Last year at this time, the Broncos went into high gear to honor a fallen player. The team held a moment of silence, and wore No. 11 decals on their helmets. They also kept his locker intact as the season continued on.
The Broncos played with open tear ducts and a heavy load on their shoulders as they took on the Indianapolis Colts. They wanted to win not only for themselves, but for McKinley and his family. Unfortunately, they fell short but McKinley and his family know that maximum effort was there.
As we acknowledge McKinley today, lets take a look at a highlight tape from his college days as a South Carolina Gamecock.

Perfect Inspiration: Creating a Fine Art Black & White Flower Photo with Dan Harlacher
Posted on April 18, 2014
It rains a lot here in the Pacific Northwest. There are several months in the winter that can dampen the spirit of a photographer. My solution to this is to photograph flowers. It keeps your eye in tune and allows you to experiment with light in new and fun ways. One of my favorite challenges is to avoid using any fancy studio lights and use unexpected light sources like flashlights and table lamps instead. You can get away with "lighting murder" if you will in modern digital photography. You can use long exposures for low-light and remove any unwanted color cast in a click. The only special equipment you need is a tripod, which is essential. Since flowers are small you don't need big backgrounds or light modifiers. I just use the walls in my house or sheets of paper from the craft store.
In this video I'll demonstrate how to process this image from an out-of-the-camera to a finished fine-art black and white. The only light source in this image is a 60-watt light bulb in a desk lamp.

Using Bokeh Textures by Liz LePage
Posted on October 18, 2013
Beautiful bokeh backgrounds can add a sparkle to an image that is swoon-worthy. However, having the right settings and props to create a lovely bokeh effect while you're shooting is not always convenient.
Dan Harlacher Tutorial: How to use Dynamic Contrast
Posted on October 11, 2013
Using Dynamic Contrast is easy. It's an awesome way to give your images stunning clarity and make your images pop. This tutorial will give you a great starting point for using this exciting new feature in Perfect Effects, part of the new Perfect Photo Suite 8.
Here is the original image.
1. Start by clicking the Auto Contrast button which will set the black and white points in your image. This will ensure that your image includes true blacks and whites. Fine-tune the results by adjusting the blacks and whites sliders to your taste.
Tip: Holding down the J key will allow you to see the black and white clipping overlay. This helps you to determine the proper amount of whites and blacks.
Shooting Your Own Textures by Liz Lepage
Posted on September 16, 2013
So many photo editing videos out there include the art of adding textures to your images, an extremely popular technique, but they rarely cover the most important topic; how do you create textures in first place?
It's pretty darn easy to do on your own and a lot of fun to boot. The best part is having your own unique arsenal that you can use and reuse constantly, without having to hunt online for ones that suit your fancy. Alongside all of my images, I also have homemade texture packs that I can apply any time I want to spice up my images!
The first step is actually going out and taking pictures, so here are a few pointers for your journey:
• Find the right location for you and what type of texture you want to shoot. If you're looking for brick, grunge and peeling paint, locate your nearest warehouse district complete with crumbling buildings and dirty walls. If you prefer a more natural approach, try taking a hike through the forest, which is full of tree bark, rushing streams and funky rocks.
• Check your local forecast ahead of time to help avoid extremely sunny afternoons. If you live somewhere that isn't the Pacific Northwest (full of clouds, which are nature's soft boxes), don't be afraid to bring a fill flash with you. Keep your images as flat as possible; the less shadows, the better.
• Bring the right equipment: leave your wide angle lenses at home and remember to pack a tripod! You'll want to make sure the images are crisp with no lens distortion.
• When you find a good spot, set your camera to a small aperture and high shutter speed. You want to avoid a shallow depth of field so that you're whole texture is perfectly in focus; try keeping your aperture ƒ16 or lower. Plus, you don't want your images to appear shaky, so hike that shutter speed up and pop your camera on a tripod; try shooting at 1/125th a second or higher.
Once you're home, with a card full of textured joy, it's time to edit if your image doesn't work perfectly straight out of your camera. You can do some basic editing such as: add detail, modify your exposure and contrast, adjust your colors, and more. There are no specific instructions for this part, as so much of this editing process lies in your personal preference. The most important rule is to have fun!
Here's a before and after example of a texture of mine. As you can see, I like my textures to be darker, richer in color and quite gritty.
Enjoy and happy editing!

Up Close with Mykal Hall – Part 2
Posted on August 30, 2013
In part 2 of – Up Close with Mykal Hall – he talks about his typical workflow. To view part 1, click here.
Tell us about your workflow. How does onOne Software fit in? Are you using Photoshop anymore?
I always shoot in RAW. That way I capture the maximum amount of information so I have more creative leeway to stylize to my liking. As the saying goes "pixels are meant to be punished" and on the odd occasion I bend them to near breaking point. I copy my card to an external drive to a folder labeled by the location and date. Then I import the images into Lightroom with a few general keywords, create a Collection Set, then create a collection in that set called Full Shoot where all my RAW files are imported.
The next stage is to preview the images and delete the few that are ruined by either me having to lift my tripod in mid shoot to avoid being hit by a wave, miscalculating a wave strength and get splash back on the lens or filter, (a Seascapers torment), not having properly cleaned the said lens or filter after being splashed or just stuffing up the shot by not selecting Bulb mode when taking long exposures. From a Seascape shoot there may be 2 or 3 shots that fall into this category.
Then, I'll 3 star rate those images that I feel are acceptable which generally culls it down by half. If I have been in a Long Exposure mood that day this process takes no time at all as I normally have a 90% plus hit rate with composition and exposure. It's only when I'm shooting for flowing water movements with shutter speeds of 0.6sec that I have more to cull as I'm trying to capture the right timing of waves over or around rocks. After that, I will collect similar composition and view them in Survey View in Lightroom to pick the cream of the crop. These images get a 4 star rating and are placed in the next collection called Picks which is when I start my editing.
Summary of Mykal's Pre-Editing Process
- Shoot in RAW
- Copy card to external drive to a folder labeled by location & date
- Import images into Adobe Lightroom (with general keywords)
- Create a Collection Set, then create a collection in that set called Full Shoot where all my RAW files are imported.
- Preview images. Delete completely ruined ones.
- 3 star rate images (images deemed acceptable)
- Pick the very best and give them 4 stars. Place these in a collection called Picks
First stop is Lightroom for RAW adjustments. In the Basic panel – White balance, highlights and shadows are manipulated. Then to Details to reduce the default setting of Sharpening and Noise Reduction to zero. I sometimes find for my images that Nik's RAW pre-sharpener and noise reduction in Dfine work better. Lens profile correction and chromatic aberration removed and then RAW file pre-sharpened. If required noise reduction, which completes my RAW processing and the next stage is where the magic begins :) Perfect Photo Suite 7.5. From within Lightroom I send the image to Perfect Layers for sensor spot removal with the Retouch Brush and then into Perfect Effects for stylization.
Creating Your Own Textures
Posted on August 16, 2013
A lot of you have shown us that you use textures when stylizing your images in onOne Software products. To give you even more texture options, here is an inexpensive and easy way to create your own set of textures and how to easily add them into the Perfect Photo Suite.
1. Visit your local arts and craft store
We drove to a local arts and crafts store near the onOne offices to look for paper that could act as a cool texture when blended with a photo. As it turned out, there was more than just paper available. Not only did we find a ton of paper styles in the store's scrapbooking section, we found a variety of textures including rice paper, burlap, cork, and sandpaper, to name just a few. It's amazing how endless the creative possibilities are with all of these different textures. The best part is, the textures we found were inexpensive. We snatched up 18-20 different samples for use in our texture pack for under $20.00 and we were in and out of the store in under 30 minutes.
2. Scan your textures
Once we returned to the office we started sorting through the textures. Our initial thought was to set up the onOne studio to photograph them. After chatting with Dan Harlacher, we learned the much easier way to capture them was to use a scanner. Luckily, Jonny Davenport keeps one at his desk (you can learn why from the recent Up Close Blog on Jonny).
Matt Suess Guest Blog & Tutorial: Improving Skies in Your Photographs
Posted on June 17, 2013
Matt Suess is a professional fine art photographer based in Scottsdale, AZ and Santa Fe, NM. A photojournalist for 17 years and a full-time artist since 2006 Matt also teaches field & classroom photo workshops as well as online courses. Find out more about Matt and read his photography blog. Matt wanted to share his method for improving skies in photographs using the Perfect Brush.
Sometimes all it takes is a little enhancement to the sky in your photographs to take them to the next level and make your images pop. I am going to show you how to do that using the recently updated Perfect Brush in onOne's Perfect Photo Suite 7.5.
The image I am using is a 3-photo HDR image that has already been tone mapped and processed. I am pleased with the color and texture of the building, windmill and foreground but would like to add more punch to the clouds and sky.
In adjusting the sky I don't want any of the adjustments to spill over onto the other parts of the image. To easily do that I am going to use a new feature of the Perfect Brush but before we get there I am going to open the image in Perfect Effects inside Perfect Photo Suite (this technique will also work if you are using the stand-alone Perfect Effects or as a plugin inside Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture).

UR completes $14 million in construction, renovations
The University of Richmond has completed more than $14 million in summer renovations and construction, including $2.5 million in library improvements, a new Student Activities Complex and a café at UR Downtown.
Reflecting increasing study and work on portable computers and other mobile devices, numerous power outlets and additional table surface space have been added throughout Boatwright Memorial Library. Added library work areas include seven group and eight individual study rooms. Renovations also have enabled all collaborative study areas to be moved to the second floor, allowing designation of the first floor for quiet study.
Construction of a new $5 million Student Activities Complex has been completed, providing a Student Center and a court of eight cottages designated for sorority use. Three blocks of the on-campus University Forest Apartments have been updated with new roofing, flooring, an additional half bath, and new bedroom furniture and kitchen appliances.
Artificial turf and upgraded lighting are being installed on the campus Intramural Fields to accommodate their heavy use and extend playing hours. In the Robins Center, football offices and meeting rooms have been renovated.
Ryland Hall and North Court, two of the oldest buildings on campus, both received interim improvements while their complete renovation is planned.

A terrible, horrible movie. . . that's actually pretty good
'Alexander' provides uncomplicated family fun
It's not surprising in the least that Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day doesn't much resemble the book it's based upon.
Judith Viorst's 1972 picture book isn't exactly overflowing with movie-worthy material. Boy has bad day. Boy is informed that everyone has bad days sometimes. Then, the back cover.
In the film, the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad-ness is blown up to more extreme size. Alexander Cooper (Ed Oxenbould) has a bum day every day, while the rest of his family (Steve Carell, Jennifer Garner, Dylan Minnette, Kerris Dorsey) exist in a constant bubble of perfection and cheery optimism – to the point that the family is so wrapped up in their own success that Alexander's being ignored.
So on the eve of his 12th birthday, Alexander makes a wish: just once, he'd like his family to see things from his perspective; to experience the crushing disappointment of one of those no good, very bad days. Once he has blown out the candle on his pre-birthday ice cream sundae, his family's fate is sealed: one full day of crippling disasters for all of them. > Read more.

New Life Daily Devotion - October 24, 2011
His Rule, Your Rule
Here is a simple, rule-of-thumb for behavior:
Ask yourself what you want people to do for you,
then grab the initiative and do it for them.
Add up God's Law and Prophets and this is what you get.
Matthew 7:12 MSG
Is the Golden Rule your rule? Hopefully so. After all, Jesus instructs you to treat other people in the same way that you want to be treated. But sometimes, especially when you're feeling the pressures of everyday living, obeying the Golden Rule can seem like an impossible task—but it's not.
Would you like to make the world a better place? If so, you can start by practicing the Golden Rule. If you want to know how to treat other people, ask the person you see every time you look into the mirror. The answer you receive will tell you exactly what to do.
To keep the Golden Rule we must put ourselves in other people's places, but to do that consists in and depends upon picturing ourselves in their places. - Harry Emerson Fosdick, 100 Days of Prayer
It is my calling to treat every human being with grace and dignity, to treat every person, whether encountered in a palace or a gas station, as a life made in the image of God. - Sheila Walsh
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping herself. - Barbara Johnson
It is wrong for anyone to be anxious to receive more from his neighbor than he himself is willing to give to God. - St. Francis of Assisi
Today's Prayer
Lord, I thank You for friends and family members who practice the Golden Rule. Because I expect to be treated with kindness, let me be kind. Because I wish to be loved, let me be loving. In all things, Lord, let me live by the Golden Rule, and let me express my gratitude to those who offer kindness to me. Amen

My new favorite thing: running Chrome in full-screen mode on the 13-inch MacBook Air. This with the Tab Overview feature enabled in Chrome's experimental features makes for a pretty perfect browsing experience. Three-finger swipe down brings up all of your tabs in an overview.
If I had the 11-inch Air, I think this would be even more useful.
Horn. Tooted.
After a Q4 in which they added $5.2 billion to their cash reserves, Apple now has $51 billion in cash.
During Q&A on the earnings call today, someone asked what Apple was going to do with all that money. Steve Jobs would only say that they there are one or two "strategic opportunities" out there right now.
I'm looking at Dell's market cap. It stands at $28.5 billion. That means that after next quarter (the holiday quarter), Apple will have enough cash on their hands to buy Dell twice over.
It was 1997 (the year Jobs returned) when Michael Dell was famously asked what he would do if he were put in charge of Apple:
What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders
I think half of my Tumblr feed is Instagram pictures right now.

Draper • Jamison Olave folded onto the turf at Juan Diego Catholic High School on Friday during Real Salt Lake's final practice before playing at Portland on Saturday. Trainers rushed over to tend to his knee.
Coach Jason Kreis twice tore his ACL playing on turf and, he said, he's more acutely aware of injuries that might happen on the artificial surface, such as the one at Portland's Jeld-Wen Field. When a player goes down on turf, he said, he cringes. These days, however, the coach may simply be more sensitive to injuries overall.
Kreis said there was no reason to worry about Olave, which comes as a welcome relief. RSL (2-1-0) can ill afford to lose any player, as a few stars are on the verge of returning fully from injuries.
The team begins on Saturday a stretch of three games in seven days, a schedule that is expected to let Kreis ease stars Javier Morales, Nat Borchers, Alvaro Saborio and Will Johnson back into the mix.
Those players are all coming back from injury; Saborio and Morales are looking for their first starts, Borchers and Johnson their first appearances of the season.
RSL is coming off a 1-0 home loss to Chivas USA last week, and midfielder Kyle Beckerman said RSL would benefit from the returns of traditional leaders.
"Hopefully, we can get them all in and get them some minutes this weekend and in these next couple of games," Beckerman said.
"And then hopefully no setbacks. This would be a good time to get those guys back and also not have to push them super hard, because we have some young players that gained experience."
Johnson and Borchers both said Friday they feel healthy enough to play. Johnson played 73 minutes in a reserve match Tuesday in Chicago, less than a month after undergoing surgery for a groin strain. Borchers played two reserve games this spring and was on the roster for the loss to Chivas.
"I'm really excited to get in, whichever game it may be," Borchers said. "It's been a long road to get healthy and this is the best I've felt yet."
After playing the Timbers at Jeld-Wen Field on Saturday, RSL will host Montreal on Wednesday, and Colorado next Saturday. Salt Lake remains winless against Portland, after losing in Portland last spring during the Timbers' inaugural MLS season, then settling for a draw at home in the regular-season finale.
After RSL failed to earn a point against Chivas, Portland does not present an easy opportunity for recovery.
"It's always going to be hard to play there," Beckerman said. "It's a great stadium, it's a great place to play. It will be great. It's going to be fun and no matter where they're sitting in the standings — they could be in last place, they could be in first place — it's going to be a tough game."

Good news, bad news for RSL vs. Portland
• While Jason Kreis would not divulge his lineup plans for Portland, Alvaro Saborio, Javier Morales, Nat Borchers and Will Johnson could each make his first start of the season Saturday.
• RSL lost 1-0 at Portland last season and settled for a 1-1 draw at home six months later.

Last night I sat near the window hearing what sounded like hail hitting the glass. I knew this sound, it meant winter. I wasn't ready for the white stuff so tried to enjoy the sounds without thinking about what it meant, or peeking through the curtains. This morning I woke to a comfortably warm apartment and assumed that meant last night's snow storm had passed over, I forgot what a difference the caulking around the window had made. Instead, I found everything covered in white. Ugh. I closed the curtain and didn't head outside for a few more hours. There were only a few signs left of last nights snowfall left by then, like this
Of course only I would decide to snap a picture of a white car with snow on it. :-) Just a few more days of extreme cold for this time of year then my fingers are crossed for a bit of a break. But instead of bringing everyone down with the talk of winter, I'm here to share with you my favorites from this week's reading.
- I noticed I had quite a number of spam messages today. Now and then I find a real comment that was bumped to the spam folder so it was time to clear it out. In the folder was a sincere message from a blogger I had yet to meet. Being curious I headed over to check out Cristin's site and found an environmentally conscious writer, I only had enough time to read a couple of the articles I found, but with Halloween next week I decided to share this article on why you should buy a pie pumpkin instead of a carving pumpkin. Matches my sentiments exactly. And if you are looking for pumpkin recipes, this is the place for you.
- Willowarchway, says it's all about off-grid and sustainable living, perfect right? I was expecting to find tutorials on how to have solar, how to insulate an older home, I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this article on how to build a deck. Okay I know every one knows how to build a deck but may not want to. But have you considered building a deck in small enough sections that you could move them around to change your deck when the occasion calls for it? That's ingenious!
Say What???
- Argentum Vulgaris today wrote an article called Deeply Disturbed by This. I found my eyes growing larger and my head shaking in disbelief at the news of the latest health threat and the solution the UK is considering. As I continued to read the thought of "get your children outside" kept running through my head. This is what a society who lives in doors may have to contend with.
- There is upcycling and then there is upcycling. :-) Emily wanted a dust mask to protect her lungs, she knew she could make one, and she did. You will never guess what she used to make this mask. Don't forget to keep reading as Emily gives you a full tutorial on how to make one of your own.
Tugging the Heartstrings
- I blog a lot about the experiences I have with my grandchildren. Children are one of life's greatest gifts and teachers. Live and learn found her own teacher in Sarah a special needs buddy, talk about a perfect day these two shared and wait until you see what Sarah taught her.
- I share my life with my family, Jean shares her life with her dogs (among other things) but recently she had to put down Barney her canine companion of 12 years. A bit of time passed, and then Jean wrote the story of Barney's last days This was one of those stories that caused tears to roll down my face from the loss and from the absolutely purest form of love.
- The internet is a wonderful place to meet people and get information, but just like an autobiography, we edit the parts of our lives we don't want to put out there for the world to know. In real life we do this as well to some degree. One of my pet peeves involves running into an old friend or acquaintance, what is the first question you hear? "How are you?" The problem is for the most part the answer isn't honest, nor does the person asking the question want real honesty in reply. The answer is almost always "fine" or "good, we're all good" Both online and in real life these edited versions we share of ourselves can lead others to feel their lives don't measure up. Lissa Rankin explains this better than I do in her article I Beg You to Quit Pretending
Frugal Living
- Do you know the difference between being cheap and being thrifty? This short definition by a Thrifty Hippie will answer that question once and for all.
- Caitlin is taking a course to get herself out of debt. This particular post in her series is enlightening for the fact that it shows what a credit score really means and how you can make even large purchases without credit. Let's get rid of credit cards and debt once and for all.
- Do you have items lying around the house that you have no idea what you can repurpose them into? This is the ultimate site to get all your questions answered.. You may just want to scroll around and see what kind of ideas you can learn from.
- Wendy has suffered a devastating series of earthquakes leaving her home and nerves a mess. On a day out she decided to replace a few things that have been broken from the quakes and found a couple of things she couldn't live without. Take a peek at what she found, for anyone who hasn't shopped used stores or flea markets this will show that you really can find quality goods for very little money.
- Rather than buying a stack of books telling me how to put up food I like to use the internet. This one page from Hickery Holler Farms has so many canning recipes you will never get tired of the food you put up. For example the page starts with 6 different things you can do with apples. Everything is alphabetical to make it easy for you.

Whirling Twirling Propeller Trike
CmdrTaco posted more than 7 years ago | from the mit-students-with-to-much-time dept.136
hankmt writes "A student at MIT has built a tricycle that applies force to a giant rear fan, instead of directly to the wheels. The effect...well, it's best to look for yourself, but it would be pretty useful on the post-apocalyptic roads of the Australian Outback. The blades of the trike even have built in LED lights which display colored patterns...and also warn pedestrians of their impending deaths."

Vans California Switchback – Holiday 2011 Colorways
September 27th, 2011 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
The thing about Vans' relatively simple skate and casual designs is that, unless you go absolutely insane with clashing colors or get lazy rehashing past hits, almost everything you do to these silhouettes is going to look good. A prime example of this is the latest set of Vans California Switchback boots, a trio that you'll find yourself switching back and forth on which one's your favorite, because they're all just that good. The two-toned navy and tan pair evokes images of a duckboot, which is appropriate given that these are fully waterproof, but it's a blocked look that slowly sublimates from the tonal grey joints into an all-black edition that gets its contrast from the textures of varying leather tumbles plus a nylon mudguard. Click through to see all three pairs and expect these on October 1st at Vans California retailers. via FNG
those are nice...

Concentric Cutting Garden Chenille Rug - Sizes 1-4 26 26
Fantastic rug Bought this rug to go in front of my child's crib and I am so happy I did. Beautiful colors and so soft. It lays really nicely without curling up at the edges to trip us, which is a problem we have had with rugs in the past. It's lovely and high quality. It really brings the room together. September 3, 2014
second one I bought one about a year ago and used it in front of kitchen island. Needless to say when you are really messy replace it. It did take spot cleaning quite well, which is nice. April 5, 2014
Beautiful Craftmanship I was so pleased with this new rug for my bedroom. I had been looking for sometime, purchased a couple that just didn't give me what I wanted and saw this one. It ties the colors of my bedroom beautifully, very soft and just the perfect accent. Looks lovely on my wood floors (you must have a non-stick pad), excellent quality, and made in the USA (-: I have the buttercup , and I'm sure the other colors are just as beautiful. March 28, 2014
Lovely rug As according to reviews, so many people purchased buttercup ! I followed their comments ..It was very true!! I purchased a rug ( buttercup ) for my 7 years old daughter. It looks so lovely and pretty . Her room covers up by everything pink. A buttercup rug warms up her pink and blend it well ! It is quality but bit pricy. I am so happy with new buttercup rug . I will purchase another color on next sale. My husband love it so much. Pretty... March 13, 2014
Search was over Rug arrived earlier then stated....it was beautiful ! The colors were just as shown quality is excellent . Everyone comments on it and loves it as I do ! This was a perfect choice!!!! Finally I have found the perfect rug ! February 22, 2014
Soft and Pretty I was quite pleased with this rug; it's perfect in a bedroom and coordinates well with a range of fabrics and furniture. The rug is tightly woven, but soft, and the colors are really lovely - I selected the blue. This rug was a good value, and I think it will hold up well. August 28, 2013
