Posted by Rparente on 01/01/2006
ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- My wife and I bought a leather sofa and love seat at Ashley Furniture, color chocolat. After testing all leather sofas in the store, we found one model that did not make you slide when you sit on it. The color was a dark brown (chocolat) which looked well in the store (due to the ilumination).
We got a phone call setting the delivery time to a Friday from 12 to 3pm. We stayed home until 3:30 pm waiting and nothing came, so we left for an appointment. When we came back in the evening, they had delivered and my son signed the receipt.
Then we found a ugly living room, so dark, with a sofa much darker than the one we saw in the store and sliding too much when you sit on it.
I called the store immediately asking for a replacement for another lighter color. I was informed that it would not be possible, since "once you received it, it is yours" the customer service rep told me.
So, next day I went to the store to talk to the manager. Mr. Rick O., the manager, refused to exchange the set unless I pay 20% re-stocking fee.
I told him that was not acceptable, I was never informed about a restocking fee when I bought it. Then I got upset and said I would return the merchandise, pay the 20% fee and not buying anything more from that store. He said they would not receive the merchandise back, unless for exchange added the restocking fee.
Here is the most upseting thing: I had to accept it and pay the fee, because on the back of the sales order there is a "cancellation clause" written in light gray (on purpose so no one would read it) telling that all furniture is special order, non cancellable, non refundable and there will be a 20% restocking fee for exchanges.
Well, I do not have money to hire an attorney to check if I have any rights to contest that, although I called my credit card company and they said I could do a charge back, but Ashley could contest it and I would have to fight in court.
It was a $1706 purchase and I had to pay $365 more to exchange. I don't think it was worthed a law suit.
So, PAY ATTENTION TO THE LIGHT GRAY TEXT in the back of your order, and remember that the salespeople do not tell you that if the sofa does not fit your room or if comes in a wrong color you will end up with a restocking fee.
Better yet, DO NOT BUY from Ashley Furniture, it is not worthed the risk, there are many other good store out there with better customer support, that's my opinion.
I did not receive the new set yet, I hope they do not read this before I get it.

It's unfortunate that you had to leave for an appointment, thus leaving your son to accept the furniture. It may have been possible to refuse the sofa at the time of delivery because it was "not what you ordered." Then you may not have been subject to the restocking fee.

Terrible Quality & Highway Robbery
Posted by Integrity101 on 01/13/2008
NEVADA -- In 2005, my husband and I fell in love with a red durapela couch set at our local Ashley furniture store. As we never buy on impulse, we visited this store about 5 times and asked all kinds of questions before we decided to purchase the set.
We asked specifically about the durapela and how durable it really was. We were informed it was the highest of qualities, very strong, the color would stay, etc. They were so sure, they offered a life time warranty on the whole couch! We were also pleasantly surprised when the manager informed us that durapela was "stain resistant". With two kids and the words stain resistant, we were sold.
The nightmare began... It took FIVE months to receive our couches. FIVE months of being told they were on back order, they were so popular the company couldn't keep up, etc. We asked to cancel our order and were told couldn't.
The couches arrive and one leg is cracked in down the middle. The store informs us that once the furniture is at our home, they assume no more liability. We'll have to call Ashley Corp. We made several calls with no return call.
The durapela is NOT stain resistant, not in the least. Simple things like WATER cause "puddle" like stains and you have to use a special soap to clean it or the puddle-stain gets even bigger. Then after you clean it, the fibers rub off, leaving your once brilliant red couch with a tarish black tinge.
The back corners of the couch have ripped seams.
There are several broken springs which have ripped through the material and are now destroying the cushions.
The fluff in the back of the couch has compressed to nothing where the cushions meet so that when you sit, you get sucked in between the back cushion and the seat cushion.
And about three of the legs now have the cracks down the middle and the ultra thin paint has several chips, making the couch look even more ghetto.
Needless to say, I'd never buy from Ashley again. We paid WAY TOO MUCH money, for this type of quality. These couches are three years old and I think their only use is a good donation tax write-off.

What do you mean you could not cancel? I would have, in a heartbeat. No responsibility once it's in your house? Pure BS. What about the "Lifetime Warranty"? I know, it was not in writing and they say "we never said that". Right?
It's not much help now but at least you know you are not alone. As you can see on this site Ashley Furniture is one of the worst, if not THE worst furniture company in existence.
Posted by Integrity101 on 2008-01-14:
We couldn't cancel as we'd already paid for the furtiture. They said we could pay the 20% restocking fee and cancel, but we had no desire to lose near 300.00! The lifetime warranty wasn't on the whole couch, just the frame. Of course, not what we were told.
Seriously, I won't be buying from Ashley ever again. I wish I would have seen this site...

An Ashley Furniture reference number was provided for quicker service. Therefore, if we do not hear from a consumer, we are unable to assist. Should "Integrity101" reply to our email, we will review the information and proceed from there.
Posted by Integrity101 on 2008-02-12:
Ashley Furniture Industries- or Tammy02,
The store in question no longer exists. We had moved from said town and on a recent visit and discovered the store is not there. And why would Ashley being willing to back us now, when in the past we recieved no support?
Regardless, your office should handle issues with quality, despite what store managers decide to do. It's your name that is on the line, not Manager John Doe's name.
It's obvious, based on my experience and those listed on this site that Ashley has poor quality furniture. The furniture isn't worth the money we paid.
Why don't you address the issues listed in my post? Durapela is NOT stain resistant, a claim made by Ashley. So that misinformation aside- Why do the fibers rub off when I clean the couch? No couch should do that. You should be able to clean your couch without losing pieces of the couch each time. A professional cleaning is 200.00 per couch because the fibers are so delicate! Rediculous...
Why are the springs broken? Noone jumps on our couch, including our children.
Why are the seams ripping, in the same places? A problem well noted on this site.
Why is the paint on the legs so delicate? You have to know that couch legs are exposed to some reasonable beating, the vacuum for one.
Why do the covers on the seats slip forward, and the fluff on the back of the couch compress so that you get sucked in between the two when you sit?
If you'd really like to assist, here's how you can-
Replace my couches with a different set (equal to what we paid) or refund our money. If I don't receive a reply, I'll assume Ashley is not really interested in correcting this problem.
Posted by Tammy02 on 2008-02-15:
Since "Integrity101"s original place of purchase is no longer able to assist with warranty claims, I have sent "Integrity101" an email suggesting to send us the necessary information so we are able to assist according to our warranty. Once we receive the information, the next available Consumer Affairs Representative will be in contact with "Integrity101".

Why Waste Money On A Warranty?
Posted by Hurricane hunter on 04/04/2011
We purchased a leather couch and loveseat from Ashley's, which was quite expensive, and thought we had quality furniture. Within four months, the color was rubbed off the back of the lovseat. We also had another problem prior to that, and the technician was sent to correct that problem. In order to get the original set replaced, we were required to buy a more expensive couch and loveseat since the original style had been discontinued. We also had to add more toward the extended warranty on the leather.
Everything was okay for the first month, then we noticed a slight scrape, or maybe a defect in the leather. A representative at Ashleys Customer Service informed me that since the furniture had been delivered more than 48 hours ago, that the problem was not covered by their warranty, and that unless I knew how it happened, the extended warranty would not cover the damage either.
This is a total ripoff by Ashley that they will not honor any type warranty. Never again will I purchase an item from Ashleys.

Will they really beat the price?
Posted by Olympia on 10/21/2009
FAIRFIELD, NEW JERSEY -- I went into Ashley's Furniture on Rt.46 New Jersey to buy a couch, loveseat, and tables. I found the ones that I liked. I spoke to the salesman (who was wonderful) about purchasing the selected items and that I had seen them in another furniture store for a cheaper price. He said that they would match and beat the price by 10% if I should proof of the other stores' prices. So I went to the other store and asked them to write it up for me. The owner at the other store wrote it up on the back of his business card - he wrote the model number and price. I took that card to Ashley's Furniture detailing the prices and items. Do you think that I got that "Beat Your Price and discount 10% deal? NO! I was there one hour and forty minutes with saleperson. The saleperson was great but it was the manager who was not interested in making a deal! In today's market, wouldn't you want to make a deal/sale for your store? The manager has to approve the transactions and she was by no way friendly or helpful in making a transaction happen. SO for anyone looking to get that 10% deal - good luck because it is a lot harder than they make it seem! Make sure you have everything itemized by picture, color, size, shape, and anything else you can think of. They will find something to not give you that 10% off!

You probably dodged a bullet there. Read the reviews cpncerning the quality of Ashley furniture. You may find you don't want ti after all.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-10-22:
ADVERTISED price. NOT a price written on the back of a business card. And did you tell the competition you were going to Ashley? You wasted that guys time, which is money, to try to beat another store. Tacky.
Posted by PepperElf on 2009-10-22:
as far as the store knows you might have written it up yourself or bribed the man into claiming that was the price
they need to use something they can verify
because yes there are people out there who would run scams to get something extra cheap
this way with a printed advert it can be verified to be accurate

At Walmart, we price match, IF you bring in the AD.
Posted by Anon on 2013-11-16:
I am located in Florida and recently purchased a sofa love seat combo from Ashley. I did not intend to purchase it from them and told the salesperson that immediately as to not waste his time. I explained that I would be getting it from the NEX bc they sell Ashley at a military discounted price with no tax and they where having an additional 25% off. I was only in the store bc the model I wanted weren't at the NEX for me to physically see. The salesperson continued to persuade me to get my sofa and love seat from his store claiming the 110% price match no matter what. After thinking it over we decided to go with Ashley since they price matched everything and could guarantee delivery in 2 wks versus 12 at the NEX, however, they charged us tax which was $158. I hate to be a bugger but the salesperson kept assuring me that after they price matched that I would be getting an additional 10% to make up for the tax. But when we came in to sign the paperwork and pay a different guy said no they couldn't give it to us. At this point I am like oh well but at the same time I don't like it when a company says 1 thing and does another.

I wish that I had been smart enough to read these reviews before I bought a $600 power recliner for my husband a week before Christmas 2013. Less than 2 months later the power part of it didn't work anymore. There is no other way to operate the chair so it is completely useless. I bought this recliner from the Ashley in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. I called to get service on it, and find out they outsource service to a company called US Quality in Houston Texas. When you call there you are on hold for at least 20 minutes, then you have to wait a month or more for someone to come out to fix it. I told the manager at the store that I wanted to exchange the chair or I want my money back. Why should we wait for a repair on a useless chair for a month? She really couldn't have cared less, no empathy whatsoever. (Her name is Theresa) She said that there is a manufacturers warranty for a year on it. Who would want a chair that breaks down in 2 months??? I am still waiting to see if the repair people show up. From what I have read, that is a real issue with this company. I will never buy another stick of furniture from that place again! And you know how it goes, I will tell everyone that I can about this, and already have.

Don't Buy Ashley Furniture!
Posted by Angeladajka on 10/06/2012
STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK -- I purchased the Commando Black Sofa & Love Seat September 2011, by December the vinyl was peeling away from the fabric and the cushions were sinking. I contacted Ashley about the problem, Since I have never seen something like this before I felt they should have checked it for manufacturing defects and substandard fabric. Their response to me was they has nothing to do with the warranty of the furniture, and the store I purchased it from said the fabric wasn't under warranty (I guess that because they know it garbage) Now I'm out of $1000 dollars.

Exactly what I was thinking before I saw that you wrote it - they know it's garbage when they sell it to you.
Posted by Alain on 2012-10-06:
Judging from most Ashley reviews (similar to yours), they just don't care about customer service or quality. They are, however, consistent. You can receive poor quality and service at most Ashley stores coast to coast.
Posted by Sandy in Canada on 2012-11-05:
My DuraBlend recliner rocker started peeling and flaking the same as yours about 3 months ago. It has gotten much worse so I called the store where I bought it 4 years ago. I bought the extended warranty at the time of purchase. I was told by the store to contact the company that handles the warranties. I did that and when I sent them pictures of this rocker, they came back with an offer of 1/2 of my original purchase price returned to me. After I reviewed the warranty document (which I had them email me ) it said I was entitled to full original purchase price if the item could not be repaired, and clearly it cannot. I informed the warranty people I expected full credit for what I paid. A short time later I received an email stating that I had a credit for my full original purchase price waiting for me at the store but my warranty is now void. I won't buy this DuraBlend product again! It is garbage, I'm just thankful I found my receipt and am getting credit for what I paid.

No Furniture! Order Placed and Paid in Full 11/13/12; POOR Customer Service.
Posted by Rchlwsh on 01/09/2013
PEORIA, ILLINOIS -- I placed my order 11/13/12. Prior to placing the order, I had made it very clear to the salesman that I needed the furniture quickly and was assured that would be no problem. However, after placing my order and signing the paperwork, I was informed the delivery date would not be until 12/18/12, with the reason given the holidays as the culprit. Although disappointed, I did agree to this delivery date after being assured by the salesman I would have my furniture by Christmas.
Delivery date arrived, passed and no phone call was received. I called the store 12/21 and was informed the salesman who I had dealt with was no longer at the store. Stated he had been "let go" due to false promises. Was informed my order had been delayed until 12/28 and that someone should have called me in regards to this. This person was very apologetic, said will speak with the manager and have someone follow up.
I did receive a phone call on 12/22 and was told after some phone calls were made, my loveseat could be delivered on the truck scheduled for 1/1/13 but my chair had been delayed again to 1/7/13. Was asked if I wanted my loveseat delivered when it came in on the 1st and I asked if I would have to pay another delivery fee. A manager was consulted and I was then told since there was such a long wait for my ordered furniture and because of the poor customer service by the original salesman, there would not be another delivery charge.
I requested for my loveseat to be delivered when it arrived on the truck around the 1st and I was told I would receive a phone call the moment it arrived. Of course, no phone call was received around the 1st or on the 7th. I called the Peoria store the evening of the 7th, and inquired about my order. First I was told the order was delayed until the 14th. I asked why I was not called regarding the delay. I was placed on hold, then was informed the chair had arrived but the loveseat was delayed until the 14th, and when it arrived, I would be called to make arrangements for delivery.
I then reminded the individual about the 12/22 verbal agreement regarding the separate deliveries with no extra charge. She expressed no knowledge of this and stated would have the manager call and discuss with me first thing 1/8/13. It is now 945 pm and no phone call was received. Surprise, surprise.

Ashley furniture has horrible reviews here, especially regarding delivery. I do want to point out, if there was no firm promise in writing as a part of your sales contract, any verbal agreements are worthless. Most sales contracts have a caveat similar to "any promises made not specifically listed in this written agreement are invalid".
Posted by Obsfucation on 2013-01-09:
You should take this oppurtunity to cancel the sale and get your money back. If you had received the furniture, you'd quickly find that it is crap. Bail out while you still can. Since they failed to deliver, don't let them try and hit you with a re-stocking fee.
Posted by clutzycook on 2013-01-09:
Agreed. Get EVERYTHING in writing! Better yet, take notes, or have a witness with you do it. Record date, time, names, people involved, what was said and promised. Have everyone sign the paper once the exchange is complete.
Posted by At Your Service on 2013-01-10:
Did you place the order with a credit card or some other form? If you've placed your order with a credit card you are close to your 60 day limit for disputing the transaction.
It's far too often that home furnishing retailers promise product and can't deliver. I would humbly suggest contacting your bank immediately and DISPUTE THE TRANSACTION IN WRITING.
With respect, if you don't than you'll be stuck with what you're going to get handed to you.
So, with that said, best of luck -- 'cause you're going to need it.
Posted by wjk898 on 2013-01-10:
Ashely did the same thing to me. Far as I can tell they NEVER have available the item(s) you purchase. This site and several other ALL have nomerous complaints of this exact nature. I was lucky. I cancelled my order becuase I was leaving town for 6 months and they couldn't give me a date they would deliver the item. Fortunately for me they gave me a refund on the spot. But you will see, most people are not so lucky.
Although I am a big proponent for cheap "throw away" funiture (because for the most part, that is all you can find these days), stay away from this outfit. This is NOT an isolated experience. This store shows stuff they often have no ability to deliver. Read this and other sites. You'll see.

Ashley Furniture - Worst Furniture - Worst Customer Service
Posted by Shrekogre10 on 06/11/2008
FREMONT, CALIFORNIA -- We purchased a microfiber sofa and love seat recliner from the Ashley furniture store in Fremont in August 2007. The furniture when it arrived was as expected. But within a few weeks we started noticing micro fiber elements sticking out from all parts of the furniture - this was not fiber leaking from the seams but rather fiber magically leaking from within the fabric all over.
I opened a case with their customer service in Southern California back in Feb 2008. An Ashley Furniture technician came home in April to look at the leaks and stated that he had never seen anything of this nature in his entire tenure and was going to recommend the quickest possible resolution. After waiting for a couple of weeks and still not hearing back from their customer service, I called them and to my surprise was told that the technician had stated in his report that the leak was "normal" and we "may have" used a high power vacuum and caused the same.
After many more conversations, their customer service agent "Jamie" called me up in early May to state that Ashley would take back the furniture and would give us store credit to buy an alternate set. I waited for a couple of more weeks to get the credit - but nothing happened. On May 17th, I again called up Jamie who indicated that her supervisor "Ron" or manager "Tran" were supposed to have gotten back to me by now - and apologized profusely for the delay. Two more weeks go by and nothing happens. I called back on the 7th of June and to my surprise was told by "Kim" (another customer dis-service rep) that "Jamie" had quit the company and had thrown all her case paper work in the trash.
After being asked to speak to the manager, I was transferred to Tran who wanted me to send him pictures of the leaking fiber (to start the process all over again) for him to make a decision on by Tuesday (6/10). I posted a youtube video and sent him a link. Till date - as expected - no response. I am quite sure they have no intention of fulfilling their warranty. We paid $1800 for furniture that looks like a camel going thru puberty.

Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. responded to "shrekogre10" by leaving a M3C message on 06/13/08, unfortunately we have not received a reply back. An Ashley Furniture reference number was provided for quicker service. Therefore, if we do not hear from a consumer, we are unable to assist. Should "shrekogre10" reply to our message, we will review the information and proceed from there.

Maybe if you put as much effort into monitoring your customers satisfaction during and after the sale as you do monitoring this website, your need to monitor this site would go away. YOU should be the one contacting the errant store in an attempt to salvage whats left of your bad reputation. I would like to thank you Tammy for a least making an effort here to address the situation and hope that your efforts continue in that direction.

Since AFI does not have access to each of the stores individual sales records, we are unable to monitor their customers satisfactions. Due to the fact, the vast majority of consumers who post on M3C or any other complaint forum do not provide their name or where they purchased from, we are limited to how we can assist them.
If the consumer responds to my M3C message or email, with the name that appears on the invoice and the name and location of the store, we do contact the proper parties to look into the situation in further detail. However, if the consumer does not provide us with the necessary information we request, we are unable to let the store know their customer has an issue.

Poor Design...
Posted by Aprice76 on 05/22/2008
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- In 01/2008, we purchased (from an outside retailer)an Ashley Furniture brand sleeper sofa, dual reclining loveseat with console, and a wedge (to make a sectional). All is great with the sofa and wedge, however, after having this furniture for just a month we had to have the loveseat replaced. The reclining release is a metal lever with rubber from the top to about halfway down it that is between the arm and the cushion. When no one is sitting in it the rubber is down far enough but when someone sits down the cushion of course goes lower and this exposes bare metal to the fabric. I reclined my seat one night and heard a ripping sound. I stuck my hand between the cushion and the arm where the lever is and the fabric on the side of the cushion had been ripped, totally exposing the stuff the cushion itself is made of. My husband checked his side and his had done the same thing. We called the retailer, they came that nite and picked the piece up, contacted the local Ashley representative and after a week and a half told me that they were going to replace the entire piece rather than just try to repair it. Ok, cool deal, no problem.
About a week later we received the new piece. Again, all was going well until about a month to 6 weeks later my husband called me while I was on my way home from work and said that his side had ripped, yet again. About a week later, my side did the same thing. We again called our local retailer, they asked me to contact Ashley directly, so I did and was told this is the only complaint they have had since they switched to this new reclining release design and that they would forward the info to our local Ashley rep (this was on 04/11/2008). Two days ago (05/20/2008) I was finally informed by the Ashley rep that we are the only people that have reported this issue. Now, they said that they have sold several hundred of the same piece that we have and also that there are at least seven different pieces that use this same design.
I was also told by the guy at our retailer's store that our rep had looked at his numbers and that just in his small service area he had shipped roughly 750 pieces in the last year or so (not exactly sure on the time frame) with that same release and has had no complaints. My retailer is telling me that I can either select new furniture from his store and return what we have now or that the Ashely rep said that he could issue him a $200(cash)credit which he could in turn give to me and we keep the current furniture "as is". Either way, I feel like we are getting fairly compensated but its still frustrating having to deal with these things in the midst of the daily chores of life...
Now, I wrote all of this to let you know that if you have Ashley brand furniture with this kind of reclining release YOU NEED TO SEE IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO YOUR FURNITURE AS WELL!! If this is happening, please please please call Ashley Furniture and let them know so they will change the design so this does not continue to happen to other people because they, of course, cannot change the design based on a single complaint. I don't know about you, but when I pay good money for something, I don't think I should be having ANY problems with it after just a month...

Ashley Furniture--Functional and Flawless after 10 Years!
Posted by Carend1965 on 03/04/2014
Ashley Furniture Sofa and Love Seat
We purchased a matching Ashley Furniture Sofa and Love Seat at the end of 2003 for our new home.
We have this furniture in our living room and use the furniture every day.
The set is Hunter Green in color and both the love seat and sofa have buttons on the side whereas the seat becomes a recliner when button is pushed. There are two on each piece. The back reclines and a footrest pops out. They are extremely comfortable and we use the recliner feature daily.
What impressed me most is that all of the recliners still work every time, even after 10 years of daily use.
Also, both of the pieces look just like they did the day they were delivered. There are no stains, rips, tears or blemishes anywhere in the fabric of the furniture.
This is an unsolicited review from the owners of the furniture in Sarasota, FL.

Bad Product, Worst Customer Service, Worst Extended Warranty
Posted by Haitham13 on 02/14/2014
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I bought a Sofa and Love Seat from an Ashley local store in Houston, TX. They looked very good in the store. The Salesperson and her lady manager insisted we pay extra for the extended warranty and they promised to refund the whole price of the warranty if we do not use it.
After few weeks the seats started to sink and the springs, actually the whole structure started to bend inwards, it seems to suck in the person setting on them as if they are shorter... Anyway, it was within the warranty so we called it in but they said that is not covered under the warranty. We explained that the whole structure of the sofa and the love seat are collapsing but they insisted. We explained that the springs may have become loose and again they said it is not covered. What is covered then?
They referred us to the web page for their coverage that is many, many pages long of exception to coverage.
We tried complaining, but no one cared to even return our calls.
Unbelievably they keep sending us mailers and emails to come back and buy new stuff. Have they no shame?

As a vacuum is created, there will be another force ready to take over and fill the gap. And it will never be something better. You´ll have to pay something to that force. Start prepping now.
When someone campaigns with the promise to "fundamentally transform America", believe them.For those who thought that America was fundamentally flawed, that promise was appealing, and they voted accordingly.For those who thought that America was the shining city on the hill, it was unsettling. It appears that their fears were justified.The Founding Fathers' vision of the country was better than the Community Organizer's vision.
I can see why China and India aren´t considered to be world leaders with the potential to succeed the United States. They won´t have the interests of anybody but themselves in mind and won´t care what happens in and/or to other countries, though they would have the power to intervene if they so desired. So, when the U.S. is no more there won´t be any country that will come to the rescue of any other country.
"As our forefathers took America from the grasp of the English Monarch, our 2nd Amendment gives us the wherewithal to destroy the bondage imposed by the Vile Ginger PuppetPresident."
Pardon a second post, so as to postulate a thought re, #3.America has spent blood and treasure around the globe for freedom. Perhaps (as with the war on poverty and the war on drugs) China and India and others are right, that it doesn't make a difference, or at least, a difference worth the cost.Just a thought.
Should be a Must Read. This last sentence says it all:~~Here, however, is the main point I wish to communicate: Americans can debate whether this shorter-term vacuum of responsibility and longer-term decline is happening, but much of the world already takes this outcome for granted.~~
I always thought it was curious & interesting in Revelations how when describing the wars, there is nothing referring to the west. There´s Persia, Gog, Magog, & Israel. Now, with this administration it is clear there will be no support of Israel. Now I understand.
If we continue down the current path much longer we´ll come to think of the Brotherhood as moderates. The real danger is North Africa and Syria. From Tunisia to the Sinai, south to Mali to Nigeria, Niger and the CAR the region is turning into a giant terror state. There are bedouin terror elements in the Sinai that outgun the Egyptian army and they´re on Israels doorstep. Without the US to provide some sense of stability the region could explode. The consequences will turn up as suicide bombers at your favorite mall or maybe a dirty bomb at the airport.
I think we tell everyone we´re pulling back for a while to recover - after all, we don´t/won´t have a choice much longer. For our embattled friends, we can sell them a lot of surplus gear for cheap that we´ll not be able to afford to deploy any longer. Then ( assuming we instead don´t keep digging our hole deeper), we get our house in order. Then we can afford to be a/the world power again.
Yes, it´s happening all around us. I believe that it is entirely possible that there will be an outbreak of regional wars. This actually has already happened over the last ten years. More than half the world has been involved in one form or another on one side or another. For it to escalate would seem from my point of view to be likely based on the catastrophic economic state the world finds itself in. The World Wars were started for this very reason. Conditions were economically disastrous nearly everywhere and most of those conditions were in place because the Economic Movers and Shakers, businessmen nearly everywhere, were derided and castigated nearly universally.I´m puzzled as to who is the real enemy that we would fight? On the local scene, who is it that we fight to put it all right? On the national scene who is it that we fight to get control over all the reckless spending that is putting us as a nation in the poorhouse? Who do we force to stop the uncontrolled and escalating taxation that is impoverishing us all? What do we do to stop the economic badmouth? Who on a world wide basis is going to step up and start the healing process? Is it a country or a belief system that will be the leader? Will it be finally Pax Americana that starts the recovery from the ashes of fundamental reform when none was needed in the first place?I just wonder who it is we will aim at.
But we elected the clean black dude. Aren´t we special!
When Obama started office, I predicted he would be an incompetent leader that would get a lot of good people killed unless he was willing to learn on the job and change. It appears now that he is too ideologically rooted and arrogant to consider learning from those more competent than him. The guy knows only how to mock his predecessor and productive people but he can´t do the job of the presidency.Clint Eastwood was right about Obama but corrupt voters got bribed into voting for an incompetent lying politician. They are about to find the true costs of their misguided votes in terms of American blood and treasure especially around the world when, not if, the Middle East gets into a thermonuclear war.
This, I believe, gets to the heart of the Left´s real agenda in getting a man like Obama stationed in the White House - the very intentional decline of US power in a world of nuclear arms and terrorist WMD threats. You do the math..
It is kind of ironic that the son of a British citizen of Kenya has done nothing for Africa. Well, Michelle did visit Nelson Mandela a couple of years ago....And it is also ironic that all these "one world" types, etc are the first ones to attack US foreign policy in which we are actively engaged with other countries; either to liberate (Iraq), but then complain when we don´t invade Sudan or say nothing about the US led air war on Libya last year.
I was having lunch at a panera here in MA, yesterday. I was listening to two young women talk. One was telling the other that she had a friend who had voted for obama and now was upset that things were not going well. The young woman told her friend that she had warned her and what else could she expect from this potus? More or less a "I told you so". The other young woman said she was going through the same thing with her friends. As we watch our children mature and have real life experiences, hopefully they will learn the lesson and grow up to never elect anyone like obama again. And our country has been down and out before, check your history books. We have struggled and come back. I´ll still bet my money on this country even while it is breaking my heart.
While it would be hard to argue with Rubin´s assessment of the international effects of having Barack Obama & Co. as our POTUS for another 4 years, one thing was not addressed: What happens within America´s borders during this time? What is being planned to take America down the drain via socialism or worse, totalitarianism?We know only what we see happening here in America. What we don´t know is what may kill us as a free nation.Were I Rubin, I´d write another well-reasoned article about what will happen to Obama´s America within the time he is permitted to reign with the iron fist he wields right now.
#7, there is no "s" on the end of "Revelation", a common mistake.
The thing to understand is, this is what Obama WANTED He doesn´t believe in American exceptionalism as Truman did or even as LBJ (a terrible President) did. Even Clinton, though he didn´t really care about American exceptionalism, wasn´t hostile to it.) But Obama and many millions of others in control of the unions, the academy, entertainment, religion and other important institutions do NOT believe in it and have for at least two generations were actively working against it. It appears they have won.
The day after the election in 2008, I wrote to a Canadian friend that she should also be worried about Owebama. I told her that he was out to take America down and that, if America went down, the rest of the world would follow. She thought I was being arrogant. I think I´ll send her this article.
Here´s something to consider as well, Bummer wants to seriously cut our nuclear arsenal perhaps as low as 300, I can imagine that he will eventually cut those too claiming he expects the rest of the world to follow suit, can you say suicide?
From the foundations of The New World Order, America´s middle class was to be folded into the poor through tactics such as "Earned income Credit", open borders, and various unsustainable subsidies the middle class is supposed to maintain. This is bi-partisan and the only difference was that the right was using warfare and the left was using welfare. This installs a corporate/banking oligarchy that Prescott Bush supported during WWII. It ain´t just Obama.
Some good deal of my pride in America has been reinvested into pride in being a Texan.(recovering Californian)Traditional America still exists in a few places.Vote with your feet.I did.Side note: Reading ´Why Nations Fail´ at the moment. Five Star Good .....so far.
"Our allies have no reasonable protector?" Neither do we, the American citizens, Mr. Rubin. Global concern will be secondary to what is happening internally in our country, though it is all inexorably linked.
obama is merely a means to an end. I mean litterally the end. As long as we have a government in place that can use the tax system to buy votes that allow one segment of the population to take from the productive segment and reward those who gain power from implementing the taxes then we are at an end of freedom already. Unless there is a federal government willing to spend its responsible citizenry into bankruptcy then the end is upon us. I don´t see any change even if all the takers figured out that eventually there will be nothing left. I pray a great deal.
sorry, meant to say as long as not unless.
Bottom line, do whatever you can to put yourself in a position that avoids as much Government as possible. You cannot defeat Government. We live in California and have always voted Conservative. We even got "involved" with phone calls etc. When we realized voting is not the answer (for Calif) we moved to a California County that is 75% Conservative. We live in a town that is unincorporated, meaning few laws and regulations. Everyone owns guns and know how to use them. The school board is Conservative. The sheriff is Conservative. On and on. We are at piece with this great country and live the good life. It is all about choices. We chose less money, less dependent on Government yet more freedom and more control of our own lives. We will continue to vote Conservative but we no longer let politics rule our life.
I agree with #22. I am a Texan first. Should Texas choose to leave the union, I will stand with Texas. It is MY country. Other free states are welcome to come along. The federal government can go to hell. Enough!
This is so disconcerting. I am reading Killing Kennedy now and it is shocking when you read how concerned we were about Communism and now there are Communists running Washington. I just don´t know how we recover from the damage 0bama and his terroristic regime has caused and will cause in the next four years.
Then you Kaput the Kaputers. Problem solved.
So what do those outside the United States do to face this situation? (Please note that I am speaking here only of U.S. foreign policy and just remarking on the domestic situation.) Please read another excellent article that details the economic situation we are in. It is in Rolling Stone no less (Drudge-ified by Truth Alliance) and a very long read but extremely eye opening and jaw dropping. As some know, I have been referring to these kinds of things since the summer of 2007 just before the sub-prime meltdown (remember the Subprime Primer? I posted that url way back then). However, this recent article gives a brilliantly clear picture of how and why we will not and cannot climb out or pack up and parallels via the economy After The Fall; http://truthalliance.net/Archive/News/tabid/67/ID/10202/Secrets-and-Lies-of-the-Bailout.aspx. Our current economy wrt our currency is NOT backed by full faith and credit of the USA. It is backed now ONLY by belief in what is NOT true and what does not exist.
Unfortunately our decline began long ago. Most elections used to be won or loss based on platforms like jobs, foreign policy and budgets. People who followed those issues voted. Many of today's electorate used to not vote because they didn't understand the issues. The Democrats, however, have learned how to run a masterful campaign of deceit to get them out. This year they even added early voting shenanigans like recruiting rest home residents. Romney ran a classic issues based campaign and lost. He lost to people who didn't have a clue about what he was talking about. Minorities came out in droves to vote against the white guy who would put them back in chains. Young women voted against the zealot who would return them to forced motherhood. You can go down the list of groups that Democrats exploited with their outrageous lies. Given the current state of affairs, I'm not optimistic.
"I just wonder who it is we will aim at."We have met the enemy, and He is Us.
Seems that the rest of the world already knows what the movie 2016 Obama´s America so well pointed out. Some others will step up and succeed regardless. At least until that nation also demonizes freedoms, responsibilty, self respect and self reliance. We are in a bad way.
What do you do? Carry on. I didn´t know it was a contest. All things must pass. Freedom is the thing to concern one.
Don´t blame me for what is happening, #32.I am asking conservatives to demand the creation of conservative mainstream media, but hear no answers.Yesterday Mark Levin (After the elections I can stand talk radio for 5 min/week) said that we need to fight, talk with our kids and grandkids, find conservative candidate, support it, blah, blah, blah...What a lame talk! I don´t blame him either, but he is talking for millions of dollars (kudos to him, he found his niche!). And I don´t hear him exposing Roves and Preibuses for who they are. We gave them our money and our time, our volunteering and they completely screwed it up.I am saying for several years, we need conservative mainstream media - lefties, fascists and commies, know that, that is the way hitler, lenin/stalin, chavez and obozo won the power. But our repubics are totally oblivious of this concept. Rush is sitting on his couple hundred million contract and he never said a word about it! Why? Am I wrong about it? Where is the place we can discuss conservative candidates, our public figures, what they do right or wrong? How is it possible that we learn about it from a "friendly" nyt or wapo or alphabets? Or from rumors? Not in open discussion! Lenin was writing newspaper articles on internal communist party issues in COMMUNIST newspapers. Not in nyt, not in wapo. But we, conservatives in America, see how repubics´s dirty laundry is exposed in lefties mainstream media! Of course, with complete objectivity
As I have been posting for some time now, the only fix I can see for what´s happening in our country is to rise up and have us a nice little revolution. And by that, I mean to completely get rid of everyone in Washington and start completely over. We have a good base to start from, our current Constitution. It just needs to have a few tweaks made to it in order to prevent what has happened. After all, didn´t Thomas Jefferson write in the Declaration that it is the right and duty for men to rise up and throw off a tyrannical government? And it´s clear as it can be that we have a tyrannical government right now.All it would take is enough citizens to rise up, call for the formation of a militia, and do it. The question is, do we have those citizens among us? I don´t have the resources to do it, but at age 68, I´m ready to sign up and do my part.
Determine to support the tried-and-true authentic foundational principles which support Life, Liberty and Justice for all. ´´Just say NO!´´ to all the illusionary theatrical counterfeits who are muscling their thuggish way into the political/media arena right now. Pray for discernment in order to not to be deceived by their bogus promises, conjured up in stealth in order to snatch away the personal freedom of each individual American citizen through all sorts of political/media trickery. View the current pop media and the lefty/lib statist pols as one & the same because at the moment they apparently are. Both apparently irrationally despise Old Glory and the blessings of Liberty for which it stands....And read Mark Levin´s best sellers, ´´Liberty and Tyranny,´´ and, ´´Ameritopia,´´ ...ASAP!
Don´t ever think 0bama is incompetent. It´s hard to comprehend that a president of the US would hate the people as much as he does. He does hate us. It was obvious to me in 2007 & 2008. Oh everyone fawned over the nice clean 0bama. I even gave a thought to looking at him with unbiased eyes. The more he campaigned the more it became clear to me that he was/is a communist and that he wants to "transform" the USA into a communist "state." I am cynical. I´m considered an "elderly person". A veteran of the USNavy. Sorry but I don´t see a change for the better coming our way in the near or distant future. I say permanently kaput. In my opinion I see no current politician, pubbie or dem, interested in putting this country back on the right track. I see self-interest; an insatiable desire for power no matter what the consequences. I´m not so interested in what the rest of the world thinks of us (at this point). I dream of decency and respect for life. Honor. Morality. Love of country. I wish the best for all the younger folks. We need God.
The federal government, supported by a majority of the voters, has already gone over to the other side.The Obama administration has done its best to advance the interest of militant Islam.Sockholm Syndrome on a grand scale.
It occurs to me that the citizenry is better armed than it ever has been. It also occurs to me that being armed will not be enough. I am old and pray to live to see the restoration of this once great country.I have stopped speaking to, working with or doing business with anybody I know voted for the Dems. I am supporting my conservative friends in any way I can.
The midterms are next year... 2014.Americans who hate Obamacare will be legion by then... after the Jan. 2014 kick-inof the full socialized tyranny.With everything else going wrong, these second term midterms should finish him off.By capturing the Senate and keeping the House in 2014, we can wreck the Emperor´sfinal two years of reign of terror.By Jan. 2017, we can own the WH, House and Senate.Let´s do it. Let´s stick it to him.Let´s roll, baby.
I agree that there is no single power to challenge us. But in the 1930s it was the same way and three powers emerged (Germany, Italy, Japan), joined forces, and plunged the world into a massive war. America being weak has always invited disaster.
Look for Obama to declare martial law when he issues his executive order banning guns.
"You" in his commentary are the other countries in the world – this is about U.S. foreign policy.I am not certain, as he is, that the Obama administration is non-interventionist. Obama may not go in everywhere or in the usual places, but he could well intervene in some places.If he doesn't, well then, fine. It's time the rest of the world sorted itself out and took care of itself.Right now, we need the money here at home that has been taking care of all that.

Love it! I wanted a bedspread that went all the way to the floor so I would not need a dust ruffle. I have a queen bed but decided to order a king so it would be longer! It is perfect and the coral color is beautiful! Very pleased! March 5, 2014
Chenille bedspread looks beautiful on an antique bed, A chenille bedspread on my 1954 model blond bed sounded like a good idea. My parents had purchased that blond bed room set the year I graduated from high school and I have had it since they passed away and I absolutely love that set. When I saw that pretty aqua spread, I knew that was exactly what I wanted. It is so beautiful on my bed and I'm very proud you had it in stock. It came on time, well wrapped, and looks terrific. Thanks Vermont Country Store August 23, 2013
Peachy Perfection I purchased this Chenille bedspread in peach for my mother's room at the Alzheimer's unit. It brightens her whole room making it look homey and cheerful. It is easy for her to dress the bed in the morning and not too heavy on her during the night. It's just perfect and the color is warm, bright and welcoming. Now, if I could only find peach curtains for her window! May 14, 2013

When the controller "first turns on" to run the irrigation system the start motor relay begins to
chatter then cuts off and the controller displays "P-err". Single station operation seems to work
somewhat. I've checked wiring and made sure there is only "one program start time". This has been
an intermittent problem but I'm afraid it may be getting worse. Any suggestions??? thanks

Recap: Celtics lose big in LA 106-77
|Posted by shawn cassidy on December 28, 2012 at 1:35 AM
I feel bad for KG that's why I have him up there with his head down. If their is any Celtic that deserves apologies from teammates it's Kevin. He gives his all every night. He was scoring when the Celtics had no place to go. He put up 16 points in 26 minutes. I think that's another story in it's self.
I turned the game off tonight after Sullinger got called with a flagrant-1 for essentially preventing himself from getting dunked on by Griffin in a poster style dunk in the third quarter. It was the dagger. The effort stopped after the Celtics pulled within 4 points in the second quarter after they trailed by 15 points in the first quarter. The Celtics lost control after getting so close. I was dead wrong about this game. I thought we would get the Celtics that wanted to win a title. What got something totally different. Chris Paul without a doubt proved that he's got the better team tonight.
You could say that the Clippers are just hot right now. But when you lose by 29 points. Something is wrong with this team. I think the discussion of blowing this team up will pick up. I really have nothing else to say about the Celtics at this time.

I don't think I trust in Rondo anymore. The guy I saw tonight has all the talent in the world, but he's no Larry Bird.
paul says...
Shawn, even KG was weak in the early part of the game, when it really was lost. But I agree with by Browse to Save"your last comment. I just don't know what to say anymore. This team has talent, but it's really a pretty weak team. Every once in a while it shows signs of life, but even the worst teams in the league play well at times. Look at Detroit blowing us out. Once again Pierce has risen, just like he did last year, with his hero ball, and once again Rondo has been subordinated, and has gone passive. Only this time, Rondo had his chance to shine earlier in the season, and at first it looked like he might build up to something pretty great, only he never really did. Now he seems lost on his own team. He seems like an errand boy, almost. He brings the ball off and then hands it off. By the time he started to play more aggressively tonight, the game was long since over. Maybe he needs a change? Maybe the Celtics need a change? Jet lagged or not, how do you come out and play so passively against your main rival?
I don't think I trust in Rondo anymore. The guy I saw tonight has all the talent in the world, but he's no Larry Bird.
He'll never be Larry Bird, because Bird trusted his teammates yes, but he didn't trust them to win games. It was Larry who did that. This team needs a change, and with Allen leaving. Maybe he knew the 2012 run was it. I love Pierce, and KG but maybe we can't win with them. I think this is KG's last season folks.

Review : Good but not great
As a user of Chef's Choice model 110 and 120 for over ten years I had greatly anticipated the release of this new model.Unfortunately some poor design choices prevent me from fully recomending this product.The older M120 provided 3 stages and created a triple bevel edge.The new M130 can create at best two bevels and only one if you use the sharpening steel.The first stage creates a single edge that can then be steeled with the second stage.If the third polishing stage is used the steeled edge is ground away.That being said the number of bevels is secondary to sharpness of the blade.In comparing the sharpness of the two machines they are very similar with the new 130 seeming slightly sharper.The major issue with the machine is the need to have it out on the counter at all times.The whole point of a sharping steel is to hone your knives each time you use them in order to maintain an edge.This means you need to lug out the box every time you cook, or to have it out on the counter taking…

Does Mayweather Fear Pacquiao?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
Now that the Fight of the Century of the Decade of the Year has been called off, thanks to bickering over drug tests, both Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have been taking verbal shots at each other. I guess that's better than nothing, right?
Actually, no, it's not. While these two millionaires gripe at each other from behind their respective managers and handlers, we, the fight fans, are the ones truly being cheated. Thanks to a definitive lack of true heavyweight star power, Mayweather/Pacquiao represents the one event that will bring hardcore sweet science fans and the everyday gawker who loves being apart of a sporting event spectacle. Now that both camps have effectively torpedoed the only fight that has such crossover appeal, the two fighters are moving on — but not before dropping a few more insults at each other.
First was Mayweather, who blamed Pacquiao for the fight not being made, offered this:
In a brutal statement, Mayweather states, "First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass."
Pacquiao, of course, couldn't take such jabs without a counter punch of his own, which he offered during the first press event to promote his fight against Joshua Clottey, which takes place in the football mall/church built by Jerry Jones.
"[Mayweather] didn't want to fight me," Pacquiao said, shrugging his shoulders. "I think maybe Mayweather is scared to lose."
While these back and forths make for entertaining reading, they pale in comparison to the build-up of a fight of this magnitude. While both fighters will undoubtedly make incredible paydays for their next fight, the fact they are still "ducking" each other hurts the fans and the sport itself.
In an age where a mega-fight like Pacquiao/Mayweather could very well put the sport back in the same spotlight as MMA — Aside: while MMA is probably more popular among fight fans, the real money is in boxing. Always has been and probably always will be. For instance, Miguel Cotto made $12 million from his fight with Pacquiao. When's the last time a losing MMA fighter collected such a purse? What about a winning fighter not named "Brock Lesnar?" — the petty antics of both fighters only hurts.
I mean, what other sport do two of the best actively avoid each other or make borderline over-the-top requests, while further damaging their sport's reputation and alienating their fans? Professional wrestling? Perhaps, but even there, the belt holders still "compete" in the Pay Per Views. By my count, that puts them ahead of the current state of boxing.

Stocks rallied more than 1 percent across the board Tuesday, wiping out most of the previous day's declines, but investors remained cautious amid the ongoing uncertainty in the euro zone.
Shortly after the closing bell, Dell announced it will initiate a $0.08 quarterly dividend beginning in the third quarter. Shares rallied in extended-hours trading.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 162.57 points, or 1.31 percent, to finish at 12,573.80, led by Boeing after Bernstein boosted its rating on the company to "outperform" and raised its price target to $92 from $85. JPMorgan and BofA also jumped.
United Tech was the only laggard on the blue-chip index.
The S&P 500 rose 15.25 points, or 1.17 percent, to end at 1,324.18. The Nasdaq jumped 33.34 points, or 1.19 percent, to close at 2,843.07.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, slipped near 22.
All key S&P sectors ended in positive territory, led by financials and materials.
"Investors can expect persistent volatility for the foreseeable future—buckle your seatbelt," said Mark Martiak, senior wealth strategist at Premier/First Allied Securities. "Volume will remain lower and this will be a trader's market even though investors should still remain balanced."
Earlier in the session, Fitch downgraded the long-term ratings on 18 Spanish banks, but investors seemed to shrug off the news. Fitch's bank downgrades come after the agency lowered Spain's sovereign credit ratinglast week to "BBB." The Spanish 10-year bond yield hit its euro-era high at 6.807 percent.
"It's surprising how quickly the market looks forward—we're still held by the European issues and that's all the U.S. market seems to care about," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "We're just waiting for events to happen almost as quickly as they happen."
Still, Detrick said he remains bullish based on the negative sentiment among traders and investors.
"The fact that we didn't break below 1,298 [on the S&P 500]…it seems like we're trying to carve out a pretty substantial bottom," he said. "The potential for a second-half surprise rally in the face of negative news is real."
European shares recovered to close higherin choppy trade as investors shrugged off the Fitch downgrade. But sentiment remained cautious ahead of Greece's election on June 17, seen as a referendum on the debt-ridden nation's future in the euro zone.
Apple edged higher after Canaccord Genuity raised its price target on the tech giant to $800 from $775. The upgrade comes a day after Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conferencelargely failed to impress investors, even after the company unveiled its next-generation MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops in addition to a new version of its mobile operating system, iOS 6. (Read More: Apple Stock at $1,000? Analysts Say Within Two Years)
Facebook rose to close above $27 a share. Meanwhile, Needham reiterated its "buy" rating on the social-networking giant.
Zynga plunged to its lowest level since going public last December, amid worries that the Facebook-gaming fad has passed its peak.
Among earnings, Michael Kors jumped after the designer clothing and handbag maker beat profit expectations and handed in a full-year earnings and revenue forecast that exceeded estimates.
Texas Instruments climbed after the chipmaker narrowed its second-quarter forecast. Meanwhile, at least three brokerages cut their price target on the firm.
Juniper Networks gained after the data network equipment maker announced a stock buyback of up to $1 billion.
A123 Systems soared after the electric-car battery maker announced it has developed a lithium ion battery technologythat wouldn't need cooling and heating systems and lower the price of electric vehicles.
JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon is scheduled to testify before the U.S. Senate Banking committee on Wednesday, a month after the bank revealed a failed hedging strategy that produced a loss of at least $2 billion.
On the economic front, import prices recorded their biggest decline in almost two years in May, according to the Labor Department. Meanwhile, export prices slipped for the first time since December.
Treasury prices slippedafter the government auctioned $32 billion in 3-year notes at a high yield of 0.387 percent and bid-to-cover of 3.53.
The National Federation of Independent Business Small Business Optimism Index for May showed a slight decline amid the political and economic uncertainty.
