Think of Your Half Circle Hearth Rugs as a Fire Extinguisher
During this time of year when the heat of the summer is cooling and the fall weather is on the way, we think ahead to winter and the preparations that need to be done. Order a cord of wood or two, put together the new log wood rack to store it in and get the flue checked by a professional. But wait, you're not done. Two of the most important fire prevention tools you have need attention, fireplace screen and a half circle hearth rug. These two items can prevent a devastating home fire. Case closed! We will look at a fireplace hearth rug in this article, tune in later for the rest of the story. Page two.
All of the carpet sold in the United States must meet a government standard. This does not mean as consumers we always put the correct rug in front of the hearth. Check the rug for compliance. If you have been using a rug and do not know if it is compliant, don't. Get rid of it now. Get up from the computer and do it now. OK, point made. This is important, for a single spark could quickly turn into a whole house fire. By the way check the batteries in the smoke alarm. Properly constructed hearth fireplace rugs are a second line of fire defense.
Of all the fireplace hearth rugs available in the marketplace today, fiberglass fireplace rugs are excellent choices. Fiberglass is spun glass which is a non-flammable product. This is brilliant, a rug that will not burn right in front of the home's hearth. This is protection at its best. If a spark gets past the fireplace screen it should be stopped in its tracks. This kind of rug is incredibly strong. The dog or the kids will not tear this one up.
There are many good quality hearth rugs that are fire resistant. When buying a new rug check out the label. There will be terms like fire resistant, flame resistant, 100% wool, nylon and polyester. Rugs are made from all these materials and have different code ratings. Read and understand the labels. Talk with the sales person and if they are clueless take a hike. Even online send an e-mail or call the 800 number and make sure you know what you are getting.
Have a safe and warm winter with many family memories from the fireplace. Have the flue cleaned and burn dry hard wood.

Half a Heart $3.95 A moving story about estrangement and intimacy, race and privilege, identity and belonging from the bestselling author of "Before and After" Miriam Vener feels trapped in the comfortable white middle-class life she leads with her family in Houston during the 1980s. That life suddenly shatters with the appearance, after almost eighteen years, of Veronica (Ronnee), her biracial daughter born in Mississippi in the sixties when Miriam was a civil rights activist. Hot tempered, sensitive, manipulative and deeply hurt at her mother's disappearance from her life, Ronnee has been raised by her father, a formerly brilliant college professor who forbade her to see her white mother. "Half a Heart" charts the emotionally fraught terrain of the mother and daughter's reunion and Ronnee's divided sense of self and loyalty. With which family, and which race, does she identify? How does all this affect her relationships with her newly discovered half-sister, her white boyfriend, and the father she is rebelling against?" Half a Heart "is a searingly honest novel of public and private ideals betrayed and hopes reignited by one of our foremost novelists. |

Half a Life $12.78 In Half a Life we are introduced to the compelling figure of Willie Chandran. Springing from the unhappy union of a low-caste mother and a father constantly at odds with life, Willie is naively eager to find something that will place him both in and apart from the world. Drawn to England, and to the immigrant and bohemian communities of post-war London, it is only in his first experience of love that he finally senses the possibility of fulfilment. In its humorous and sensitive vision of the half-lives quietly lived out at the centre of our world, V.S. Naipaul's graceful novel brings its own unique illumination to essential aspects of our shared history. The best novel I have read this year . . . the prose is crystalline and seductively so you hardly realize that you are consuming a work of genius until you are plunged deep into a dramatic story which stretches across three continents' Antonia Fraser, Irish Times Brilliant . . . Writing with a degree of wit and subtlety beyond the grasp of most writers, Naipaul has built a bleak world of discomfort and yearning from which, paradoxically, the reader will not want to escape' Daily Mail Parts are as sly and funny as anything Naipaul has written. Nobody who enjoys seeing English beautifully controlled should miss this novel' John Carey, Sunday Times |

The Half Brother $32.32 The Half Brother is a truly gripping, epic novel, hugely ambitious in scope and utterly compelling, a wonderful mixture of surreal comedy and touching intimacy. In stunning detail and elegant prose it relates the lives of four generations of a far from ordinary family. It opens on May 8, 1945, when 20-year-old Vera, hoping to celebrate with her mother and grandmother the end of World War II, is brutally raped by an unknown assailant. From that crime is born a boy named Fred, a misfit who later becomes a boxer. Barnum, Vera's other son born several years later, and Fred form a bizarre but special relationship. "I should have been your father," Fred tells Barnum, "instead of the fool who says he is." Spanning 50 years, filled with a wonderful galaxy of finely etched characters, and structurally brilliant, The Half Brother has been both a literary sensation and a best-seller wherever it has been published. |

Half Life $10.99 A brilliant, disquieting first novel about a pair of conjoined twins who are deeply unhappy in each other's company. Nora, the dominant twin, is strong, funny, and deeply independent, thirsting for love and adventure. Blanche, by contrast, has been sleeping for nearly twenty years. Finally sick of carrying her sister's dead weight, Nora decides she wants her other half gone for good, so she leaves San Francisco for London in search of the mysterious Unity Foundation, which promises to make two one. And that one, of course, will be Nora -- Blanche will be mourned, but not missed. But once Nora arrives in London, her past begins to surface in surprising and disturbing ways, forcing her into a most reluctant voyage into memory. Something seems to be drawing Nora's thoughts back to the site of her rather unusual conception, birth, and childhood -- the reconstructed ghost town of Too Bad, Nevada, where lizards skitter across the playa and "Shootout at Noon" comes every day. Searching for meaning and understanding in both her own and Blanche's past, Nora pushes herself to the brink of insanity -- and begins to question her own, and Blanche's, grip on the truth. Grotesque, funny, intricately wrought, verbally and conceptually dazzling, Shelley Jackson's first novel is an imaginative and touching portrait of two lives in a cleft world yearning for wholeness -- a world not unlike our own. |
