By clicking the link below, you will be directed to my face book site, where I'm currently offering 30 Persian Rugs for sale. I started hanlonhandmade rugs in Jan. of 2007. I sell not your typical rug from the East. Traditionally Persian rug colors are often black, red, and orange contrasts - not a great color combination for Western tastes. Now, using the same hand weaving but with colors such as beautiful reds and pinks, pastels, muted blues, copper, browns and golds- one can now find any size and any color in a 100% wool rug from Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan -- the cradle of the ancient hand weaving. I have made connections throughout the world and am able to offer you a rug at a huge discount compared to my competitors. 100% return guarantee and the piece can go out on approval. My home is covered in rugs and I love the colors that change throughout the day as the sun moves through the rooms. Area rugs are very beautiful when used over wall to wall carpet. It's happening more, and more and more. I will give WTW '70ers excellent! prices -- the best I've ever done for anyone. I can order any color combination and size you need. Thanks for reading, Hanlon (512-618-2122; tenthstate@gmail.com)

2010 Jul 13 Gary Jacobs Hi All, I wanted to let you know that my humorous novel is available on Amazon.com in paperback and also in Kindle ebook format. The title is STILL LIFE WITH GENITALS (I'm not kidding. Wait till you see the cover art). I have two young children who hope to go to college. If I don't sell enough books, that may not be possible. And they could turn to drugs. And have to do home invasions to support their habits. And remember, I have your addresses. Best wishes, Gary
