Isfahan is located on the main north-south and east-west routes crossing Iran, and was once one of the largest cities in the world. It flourished from 1050 to 1722, particularly in the 16th century under the Safavid dynasty, when it became the capital of Persia for the second time in its history. Even today, the city retains much of its past glory. It is famous for its Islamic architecture, with many beautiful boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques, and minarets.

The Golden Age of Esfahan arrived in the 16th century under Shah Abbas the Great (1587–1629), who conquered it and made it the new capital of the Safavid dynasty. During the reign of Shah Abbas I, who unified Persia, Esfahan reached its pinnacle. Esfahan had parks, libraries and mosques that amazed Europeans.

(half the world), meaning that to see it was to see half the world, and also referring to it as a point where many cultures and nationalities meet and mingled. In its heyday, Esfahan was one of the largest cities, with a population of over half a million; 163 mosques, 48 religious schools, 1801 shops and 263 public baths.

. Weaving in Esfahan flourished in the Safavid era. But when the Afghans invaded Iran, ending the Safavid dynasty, the craft also became stagnant.
Not until 1920s, between two world wars, was weaving again taken seriously by the people of Esfahan. They started to weave Safavid designs and once again became one of the most important nexus of the Iranian rug weaving industry. Esfahani carpets today are among the most wanted in world markets, having many customers in western countries.
Esfahani rugs and carpets usually have ivory backgrounds with blue, rose, and indigo motifs. Rugs and carpets often have very symmetrical and balanced designs. They usually have a single medallion that is surrounded with vines and palmettos and are of excellent quality.

"Khoresht-e mast" (yoghurt stew) is a traditional dish in Esfahan. Unlike other stews despite its name, it is not served as a main dish and with rice; Since it is more of a sweet pudding it is usually served as a side dish or dessert. The dish is made with yogurt, lamb/mutton or chicken, saffron, sugar and orange zest. Iranians either put the orange zest in water for one week or longer or boil them for few minutes so the orange peels become sweet and ready for use. People in Iran make a lot of delicate dishes and jam with fruit rinds. This dish often accompanies celebrations and weddings.
Esfahan is famous for its Beryooni. This dish is made of baked mutton & lungs that are minced and then cooked in a special small pan over open fire with a pinch of cinnamon. Beryooni is generally eaten with a certain type of bread, "nan-e taftton." Although it can also be served with other breads.

Did Hayne's drop touch Thurston? If so, it should be a knock on. If not and he kicked it, it's a try.
It was a great game, QLD just dropped the ball at crucial times. Bloody Hodges continues to frustrate the hell out of me playing Origin. Bird named MoTM, I would have given it to Farah. |

Hodges did his job defensively, but was rubbish with ball in hand. Can't remember him ever having a good game in a QLD jersey tbh
Taylor was absolute rubbish though, and it was far and away Thurstons worst game for QLD. |

I have no doubt it'll be pointed out in The Courier Mail tomorrow that as QLD only scored their tries off kicks they lacked penetration in attack and were far and away the worst team...am looking forward to an outburst of sooking from Big Mal after Game 3 regardless of the result too.

Also didn't get wtf happened with the Tate/Hayne kick return in the first half. Tate was tackled, then Hayne tried again to drag him into touch, and then Tate just hopped up and ran another 5 metres...did they just decided that 2 wrongs made it a right and left it at that :S

I think it's time Sam Thaiday ignoring the fact Colin Scott has him by the collar and is challenging him to stand up and have a go while Sammy yells over Colin's shoulder at one of the littler NSW blokes deserves a run alongside Benderella.

Chevron should start building a new plant in Nevada or Texas and tell Richmond...see you late. The mayor of Richmond is a total fool also.
And as far as the medical...80% were fraud. It is just the typical do nothings wanting a handout. That's the problem with this Country....we are breeding and teaching folks to go to the feeding trough and get their daily handouts.
If Chevron left Richmond...Richmond would turn into a jungle of no bodies.
Thanks for listening...oh hell lets be honest...I don't really care if you are listening or not. Most of the time it goes in one ear hits nothing an flows out the other hole in your head.

Or maybe Chevron could build it in Alamo, next to Julia's house -- since she would be immune to the "imaginary" effects of a toxic release from the refinery.
Posted by Old Danny, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Feb 1, 2013 at 11:54 am
I'll try to be kind in that I have no doubt that you've found this fascinating medium called 'The Internet' at a stage in life when most would not. Running on the obvious, no one is LISTENING. We can't. We can read it but it is highly unlikely anyone is HEARING it.
Like many of us who grew up with the radio, it's time to either evolve our metaphors or perhaps just surf for good old Paul Harvey replays and leave the WRITING and READING to the trained professionals.
Well hell, you'll not likely HEAR any of this so I'm probably just burning daylight....
Posted by Audrey, a resident of the Alamo neighborhood, on Feb 4, 2013 at 1:24 pm
The Refinery was built BEFORE people decided to build, buy and rent dense housing in the area.
This is the same thing as buying a house near an airport and then complaining about the noise.

Oculis Labs PrivateEye stops prying eyes from reading your computer display in places like: Airplanes Coffee Shops Office Cubicles Almost everyone has worried about people looking over their shoulders to see what they are doing on the computer. PrivateEye is an easy-to-use software program that automatically protects your computer display against eavesdroppers. It needs only a standard webcam, and runs on Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. For Your Eyes Only. Financial documents, personnel records, patient records, legal documents, audit analyses, personal correspondence and web browsing Keeping these documents private is important to you, your customers and your business, but to date your options have been limited to clumsy plastic privacy filters that do not work. PrivateEye reacts to you, the user, and the environment around you to proactively display your data only when you are looking at the screen. Its a surprising, highly effective, patent-pending technology from Oculis Labs. PrivateEye is a different kind of security product. It senses where you are looking and analyses your environment to actively protect your screen against eavesdroppers. All it needs is a webcam and some clever software behind the scenes. Its only when you look away that PrivateEye jumps into action, protecting the screen against prying eyes. The simple act of turning to look as someone comes near, answering the phone, or getting up for a cup of coffee instantly enables protection. You wont have to worry anymore about remembering to lock your screen, or to fumble awkwardly to close a document when someone comes near. PrivateEye makes all that automatic. PrivateEye System Requirements PrivateEye Pro includes advanced features such as: Rearview Mirror - You see who is behind you and they see that they have been caught. Sentinel - Simply point your webcam at a door or cube opening, hallway or other area of interest and PrivateEye Pro will protect your display on sensing motion or detecting faces.

So, recently in March I had a tummy tuck and BBL, however the tummy tuck results are pretty good but the BBL didn't really do much. I believe my doctor was afraid to be aggressive with the fat transfer because he said the tummy tuck was a pretty big procedure. However, he still took my money for both operations! Anyhow, after researching further I've decided to go see the famous Dr. Salama! I'm pretty confident I will walk out with much BIGGER results, lol....however my only fear is that it doesn't look the way I would like or that it may look to big and too fake.....

My only fear is that I may have sat on my butt too soon and too long. A few times in the car I rode in the front on my butt, using the bobby. Bc it was so uncomfortable to lay in the back of my friends car. Then I flew 2 1/2 hrs back home today, and I got up every 30 mins but only for 5-10 mins at a time. Now I'm home back on my stomach, and now I can lay on my side as well, which I wasn't able to do at first.
Anyways, I'm still undecided if I feel it's worth it, being that I still have several weeks if not months to really see my results. So far I do love it, I just can't wait till my butt is soft and drops a little, because it is a bit too big compared to how I wanted it. I know most girls want their ass HUGE, but I just wanted more volume, not outrageous. And currently it's pretty big, but at the same time I hope I don't lose too much and you can't even notice it anymore lol. So we'll see, only time can tell.
My Doctor: Moises Salama, MD
My rating:
Dr Salama and everyone that works with him are great! They're ALL friendly and very comforting which is essential during this time of need! Loved them!
Comments (24)
Sort bydrs but im staying with Dr S because hes close. I also live blocks away from las olas...YaYYYYY!!! WE HAVE TO WALK ALONG THE BEACH AND THE STRIP. IM EXCITED!!!!
I also noticed you're meeting with another doctor are you considering going with someone else? I found a place to stay, well my wonderful aunt has a condo in Los olas which is pretty close so i lucked out. And happy belated it's funny my bday was 8/25 lol.
Hey there, welcome and thanks for sharing your experience with us. Have you already had your consultation with Dr. Salama or set a date for surgery?

Went downhill. Sorry Sam's but we used to love going to eat dinner there and the last 2 times we went we were so unhappy we will not go back. Meatballs tasted like pre-cooked frozen meatballs and when I asked they admitted that they don't make them(they are "brought in") as well as is most of their food. The lasagna was good but I can't say much for anything else.
Great Food, Nice atmosphere, Fair prices!. I've been going to sams for several years now. I've had my son's graduation party there and my mother's birthday party. We were very pleased with the service and the arrangements that were made for us. The food is always good and you cant beat the prices.

Somehow in an audiophile trade I ended up with an older Sota Star Sapphire.
I ended up sending the deck to Sota service facility to have it brought up to spec.
They contacted me back with the following answer.
Needed repairs
Heavy wear on bearing, replace
$230 - Chrome bearing replacement
$260 - Zirconium bearing replacement
Old style mat/lip.* Deformed lip, replace
$420 - Series V Mat/Lip replacement
Old style belt
Old style spring assembly hangs very low.* Springs are maxed out.
$365 - Series V Spring(s) replacement
Sent in non-factory packing
$25 - Transit screws w/Allen key, Instructions, Bubble Level, Strobe Disc
$65 - Factory packing
Since they are willing to give me $700 on trade in, would it be wise to spring to a refurbished Star or shop in the used market for a newer design such as a VPI or else.....

Smart strategies for maximising your super
Max Newnham There are many strategies a person can use to maximise the superannuation they have at retirement.
Hidden costs of ignoring small outlays
Emily Chantiri The costs for some goods and services are small but let them slide for too long and you'll find they will add up to hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars a year.
Retirement? That's the million-dollar question
Mark Bouris Some of the numbers associated with retirement seem really big.
Avoid pension pitfalls with precise retirement planning
