  Martin O'Malley Picks Glen Ivey
Ivey Watch: "Martin O'Malley Picks Glen Ivey:

My best wishes go out to Glenn Ivey as rumors swirl around that he will run as Martin O'Malley's pick for Lieutenant Governor of Maryland. I have known Glenn for over 5 years. We met when I got a phone call from Glenn Ivey inviting my two boys (now the older two) to come down to play with Glenn's children. I knew him first as a neighborhood father and only later as a man in politics. He is a good and decent man. I notice that even with 5 young sons Glenn and Jolene Ivey get their children to Church. I notice that a baseball and soccer games I can expect to see one or both rooting their sons on. To do that with 5 children is something not to mention with the pressure that Glenn is under fighting crime in a county with too many murders and too few cops. I also notice that Glenn drives himself even though his predecessor had a full time police chauffeur. Glenn is about as straight and honest as they come. I am proud to have Glenn as a friend.

  Tschebull - Room-sized carpets
Tschebull - Room-sized carpets: "Kirman carpet, domestic weaving from the city of Kirman in east central Iran, 8'6' x 11'9', from 1890-1900; older Kirman carpets have the reputation of being the most sophisticated produced during the Rug Boom in Iran. They are usually worn out, as they are finely and loosely woven, but this piece is in very good condition and complete. The soft rosy red is characteristic of Kirman carpets and rugs from the period. Most antique room-sized Kirmans have central medallions, and many have ivory or red fields."
