But it was Americans, traveling through the Oaxaca valley in the 1970s, who saw an opportunity to market the Teotitlán weavers' colorful hand-woven throw rugs.

There are big leather couches and tartan chairs, taxidermy and cow skin throw rugs, but also some sparkling satellite chandeliers to remind you that you're still in Brooklyn.

Outside, it was still very hot, but the tent was air-conditioned, and there was soft grass underfoot, partly covered with throw rugs; in the winter months, polo is played on the turf.

The bed covers, sheets, pillowcases, and nightstand next to the bed were red, the hardcover books and knick-knacks, throw rugs and drapery — all that could be seen in a place that looked as if it were ready for human habitation was red.

I recall how upset I was with a dear friend, then in her early 80s and 14 years my senior, who refused to replace, secure or remove throw rugs in her kitchen and hallway that were a serious trip hazard even for me.

They're all part of a self-started hacker group called Sthacks, short for Stetson Hacks, and David's room is their informal HQ. The floor is covered with throw rugs and grubby bath mats, and on the wall is a vanity license plate that reads M2000MES.

The reason I can't stop listening to this track, however, is not the sadness in it but the richness of his voice and the music, which has the luxurious tone of being recorded live in a studio full of expensive throw rugs with an unlimited production budget.

To his back, a pair of six-foot-tall rope vases stand, slouching like sleepy sentinels; on a vintage armoire hang two blazers, hand-painted by Colantonio with the ancient columns and architecture that decorated De Chirico's Ballets Russes costumes; on the floor lie a few of what he calls his "magic carpets" — seemingly pedestrian Persian throw rugs that are, in fact, made of transparent plastic and expose rather than cover the floor underneath.

Improved equipment design can enhance safety; softer baseballs reduce head injury risk. Rules against dangerous types of contact, such as "spear tackling" in American football, when one player tackles another head first, may also reduce head injury rates. Falls can be avoided by installing grab bars in bathrooms and handrails on stairways; removing tripping hazards such as throw rugs; or installing window guards and safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs around young children. Playgrounds with shock-absorbing surfaces such as mulch or sand also prevent head injuries.

Wall-to-wall carpeting, large throw rugs, expansive furniture, and large wall hangings should be avoided. Typically, for about every 1 ft2 of south-facing glass, about 5 to 10 ft3 of thermal mass is required for thermal mass (1 m3 per 5 to 10 m2). When accounting for minimal- to-average wall and floor coverings and furniture, this typically equates to about 5 to 10 ft2 per ft2 (5 to 10 m2 per m2) of south-facing glass, depending upon whether the sunlight strikes the surface directly. The simplest rule of thumb is that thermal mass area should have an area of 5 to 10 times the surface area of the direct-gain collector (glass) area.

The Vice President's Room was initially furnished in a modest style. Few of those original pieces exist today, but the marble mantel and colorful Minton floor tiles manufactured in England are both part of the room's first decoration. Many of the room's present furnishings, such as the ornate gilded mirror and the matching Victorian window cornices, date to the late 19th century. Of all the 19th century vice presidents who occupied this room, none affected its style and decoration as significantly as Garret Augustus Hobart, who won election with William McKinley in 1896. Senate vouchers detail his purchases of imported silk mohair carpeting, Neapolitan silk curtains, numerous Persian throw rugs, and “a silk velour slumber robe” made to order to match the velour cushions on his office sofa. The double-pedestal, mahogany desk in the room is sometimes referred to as the “Wilson desk,” due to erroneous associations with President Woodrow Wilson and with Vice President Henry Wilson.
