Reza Abbasi Museum
"The collection of objects on display in the Reza Abbasi Museum
recalls an era that is unknown, mysterious, and full of the endeavors of
humans for survival, fighting nature, gianing benefits and victory over
the environment. The stages that humanity has gone through to gain such
a level as enjoyed today is Reza Abbasi Museum is on permanent display in
five galleries." -- Thanks to Farhad Sepahbody
My Farah
"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue:
Whether it is a morning wedding or at night, whether you're using grandma's
veil or no veil at all, whether you want the house furnished in blue or
want to spend your honeymoon by the deep blue sea; My Farah has the old,
the new, the borrowed and the blue, unfolding especially for you!!!"
Ayandehsazan Basketball Club
"The idea of our logo came from dunking competitions in which Hooman
Rezaee, a player of our senior team, dunked with two balls simultaneously
and all the referees, who were from Iran and other countries, gave him 10
of 10 and he became the champion of Iran."

disorders in the country and referring them to treatment centers. 2. Educating
patients and their families about hemophilia care. 3. Preventing joint
damages by implementing home therapy and prophylaxis treatment."

Beyond Iran
American Writers
This C-SPAN series examines the lives and works of selected American
writers and explores their influence on Americans today. On the companion
web site, you'll find detailed biographical and historical background for
each featured author. We learned about the journals of the Lewis and Clark
expedition, experienced the world of Harriet Beecher Stowe while she was
writing 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' and explored the Declaration of Independence
and other documents written by founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and James
Madison. Jump in and take an in-depth look at 45 American writers who helped
shape a nation. -- Yahoo review
The Date-My-Sister
Project
An ongoing experiment in which the author documents his sister's dating
life... without her knowledge. Don't cheat -- start at the beginning and
discover just how cruel, committed, and funny brothers can be. -- Yahoo

The Nonverbal
Dictionary of Gestures, Signs, and Body Language Cues
This monumental resource consists of definitions, relevant quotes, photos,
and illustrations painstakingly researched and assembled by David B. Givens,
director of the Center for Nonverbal Studies. Explore the silent side of
human communication, from the adam's apple jump to the classic shoulder
shrug display, from flight and fright reflexes to true and false smiles.
It's a fascinating look at how we express ourselves and how we act when
the mute button is on. -- Yahoo review
EyeWitness
Here's an amazing look at "history through the eyes of those who
lived it," a repository of personal narratives covering the ancient
world, World War II, and everything in between. We listened to Charles Lindbergh
describe his transatlantic flight, a horrified radio announcer report on
the Hindenburg disaster, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
declare war on Germany. Instead of presenting a historian's account, this
site gives you a chance to get inside the mind of someone who was there.

Starmatt Astrophotography
To paraphrase David Bowie, "There's a Starmatt waiting in the sky
/ He'd like to come and meet us / But he thinks he'd blow our minds."
Matt BenDaniel is the "matt" in Starmatt Astrophotography, and
his colorful photos of nebulae, galaxies, and star clusters really are mind
blowing. Did you know that the night sky is blue? Matt knows, and he can
tell you why. He even explains why the camera can pick up color when the
human eye can't. Matt's not afraid to stare at sunspots, and he's really
got heart -- well, the Heart Nebula anyway. So, if a psychedelic space trip
isn't your thing, try Starmatt. -- Yahoo review
