Hodgson defends Dikgacoi
05 Oct 2009 - 09:25:31
Fulham boss Roy Hodgson was less than impressed with the sending-off of Kagisho Dikgacoi in the 2-2 draw at West Ham United.
The South African midfielder was dismissed shortly before half-time for a clash with Scott Parker, but Hodgson felt that it was little more than 'handbags'.
He told Sky Sports: "It didn't look too violent to me, I've got to say. The lad has come out of South Africa and was playing his first match.
"I don't know what happened between the two players, but I'm always disappointed when professional players get sent off for something that the word 'handbags' would be an exaggeration.
"I come from a time of playing football when there was quite a lot of violence on the football field and people actually did get head-butted and get kicked and people got hurt.
"I have a problem getting my head around two players nose to nose and one of them sent off for violent conduct. I have a problem with that."
"At most you could accuse him of being naive, that I suppose is a crime, but he's devastated and he's got my sympathy."

sail-world.com -- America´s Cup - Jury restates the obvious
America´s Cup - Jury restates the obvious
Sat, 13 Jul 2013
Part of the Editorial from Sail-World New Zealand's newsletter of July 12, 2013 by NZ and America's Cup Editor, Richard Gladwell. the full newsletter can be read by
clicking here
The 34th America's Cup Regatta lurches on in San Francisco, with the International Jury ruling this week on the protest applications that have been lodged by Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa.
The Jury handed down a simple, and clear Decision, which just restated the Protocol governing the 34th America's Cup, and AC72 Class Rule changes, in particular.
That decision should have come as no surprise to anyone. Sail-World first made the comment back on May 25, 2013 the day the Recommendations were announced. 'Changes to that AC72 rule can only be done with the consent of all the teams – a simple majority is not enough.'
That was virtually all the International Jury wrote after six weeks of posturing, abuse, four days of mediation and finally an eight plus Jury Hearing. Why? The Louis Vuitton Cup didn't need this.
The Jury Decision was entirely consistent with one handed down in October 2012 on a similar Application where the again, simple Jury Decision said 'Under Protocol 15.4(f) the Jury determines that the Measurement Committee has, in PI 22,
amended the Class Rule and therefore exceeded its jurisdiction. '
The question must be raised as to whether some parties can actually understand the Protocol. Or, did they read its provisions, and then wish it said something else. Or, are they being deliberately obtuse?
Some would herald this as a win for Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa. It's not. No one's a winner - there's no change in the Rules - they are what they always were. The Jury has just restated what the rules already clearly said.
But it is a major loss for the beleaguered America's Cup Regatta. Again not for the Decision, which is a no-change. The loss comes from the damage done by those attempting to pervert the Rules - reflected in the constant general media droning about the litigious face of the America's Cup once again peering over the parapet, of what should be the pinnacle event in sailing.
While fan enthusiasm in San Francisco might be flat, in New Zealand that is far from the case. The Decision dominated sports talk back shows all day, plus Breakfast television, and the topic has been flicking around the airwaves for six weeks. It has dominated sports TV news on both major channels, and often the lead stories in prime time news. These stories aren't the style seen overseas - a few facts wrapped in a cotton wool of background explanation in the level of telling of a naughty child which had once again misbehaved. In New Zealand, this is a hard news story, for an intelligent audience. The story has legs and characters. It's been running hard since the Artemis capsize on May 9.
The early signs were that event organisers had taken on board the Jury's Decision and had stepped back from the extreme and threatening positions adopted before the Hearing. Now, cooler heads seem at last to be prevailing.
The debacle shoreside in San Francisco has been offset by the first three races of the Louis Vuitton Cup, where fans have watched a speed trial, instead of a boat race.
And fascinating it is, initially.
Never before have we seen an
America's Cup yacht scorch around the race course
at speeds of up to 25kts upwind, and over 40kts downwind. Combine that with some very slick crew work, good boat positioning on the racecourse, and the self-belief that allows the crew to sail 'pedal to the metal' for the duration of the 40 minute race.
Look too for the foiling gybes - will they pull one off? How much does the speed drop? What is the top speed? What is the race time?
All are questions that run through the fan's mind, as we watch something that has never been seen before.
Following the Jury Decision, Luna Rossa sailed - and gave us a different set of performance numbers.
Those in turn will give us the first glimpse of the shape of this America's Cup. Will it be close? Will it be a one boat race, with daylight a clear second? We'll find out for sure on Sunday when they go head to head with Emirates Team New Zealand.
We feature a lot of America's Cup material in this edition.
Sail-World has a team of three in San Francisco - with the world's top international sailing correspondent, Bob Fisher providing his thoughts on the day. Videographer John Navas is providing some excellent insights of the racing and practice. With long-time America's Cup photographer Chuck Lantz providing daily galleries of still images. Plus we have the images provided by the teams and official photographers.
Earlier in the week, we ran an interview based on a Media Tour conducted by Swedish Challenger of Record, Artemis Racing.
This week week we have published a 14 minute video produced by the team, which features comments from all the key players. It's a rare insight behind the scenes in the team's base in Alameda. there's also images of the team preparing their beautiful blue AC 72 for stress testing.
John Navas has put together a similar video for the Oracle Team USA media tour - a series of narrated still shots which make interesting reading and listening for those interested in learning more about the AC72's.
Our guess is that they are running behind time, and won't make any of the Round Robin phase of the Louis Vuitton Cup, and will come in at the Semi-Final stage, most likely against Luna Rossa. Unless Artemis Racing have an AC72 that is fast straight out of the box, it is hard to see them getting to Luna Rossa's state of readiness and performance.
But then we are almost a week into the Regatta and haven't seen two boats in a race yet - so maybe calls like that are premature.

So imho, MSN Search will be powered by Yahoo! Search by July, since that would give Yahoo the biggest boost for their core brand.
I doubt you will see a single word about Yahoo anywhere on MSN search.
Absolutely. MSN is a competing portal.
He also said that in MSN year 2005 starts in July 2004 for accounting purpose.
So, when ballmer said 2005 for the new search, it is possible that he meant some time between july 2004 and july 2005.
I doubt they will have brand new search engine by this july. Their beta search engine is same as msn.com's only with minor layout difference for new paid listings(for overture and MSN's direct ppc).
Where is Inktomi getting its pages from now? Slurp is now feeding Yahoo, right?
Yahoo! Search Technology powers the following:
* the previous Inktomi distribution * AltaVista * Fast / AlltheWeb and previous distribution * Yahoo!
However, from 20 years of watching MS - a slightly more accurate timescale could be that when ballmer said 2005 for the new search, it is possible that he actually meant some time between july 2004 and july 3005. :) MSN Internet Search - Powered by Press Releases, Sizzle, Inktomi and Yahoo! Like the elephants said to the mice - we're coming to get you Google - we're going to sneak up behind you guys, while you're not looking - and ..... oops - just gave away the plan...
Both Yahoo! and MSN have been playing with / experimenting / tweaking (pick your term) with their relevancy algo's for the past few weeks.
I would expect to see it continue for a while.
(Apologies to spaidermen if I've hijacked your thread)
MS is like a prisoner-of-war until then, and Yahoo will feed them a minimum diet. Expect MS to be 30 to 60 days behind the latest that's available from Slurp. MS probably cannot do anything about it, because the wording in the contract between Inktomi and MS couldn't anticipate such a bizarre situation.
I don't understand - what bizarre situation? Are you saying that MSN's contract with Ink ran out, and they won't renew it for a short term? I know MSN isn't happy about using Ink/Yahoo, but Yahoo should be happy to sell their results to anyone.
Yeah, MSN either has a subset of the Inktomi database, or it's adding new pages very slowly.
You can only submit via Site Match.
See the Yahoo! forumn for more information.

Submitted by Roy Gardiner on 13-Jan-05 7:10amMalcolm Newell's FFs
Submitted by jbond on 11-Jan-05 8:51pmHere below is a fairly definitive list of machines built by Malcolm Newell. (words mostly by Paul Blezard) This was not easy to compile bearing in mind that most of the machines had the same trade number plate on them when being used by Malcolm, probably no chassis plate and certainly no "official" Malcolm-applied serial number. This list is quite old now. Can anyone fill in more detail?
Blez's FF History (Updated April 2011)
Submitted by paulblez on 11-Jan-05 2:39amPaul Blezard's potted FF history
I've been riding scooters and motorcycles for over 30 years and writing about FFs for more than 20. I was 'turned on' to FFs by reading Royce Creasey's HighTech articles in Bike magazine in 1979-80 and by meeting Malcolm Newell with the Cibie Z13 Phasar at the first NEC motorcycle show in 1981. I have ridden a very high percentage of the FFs to be seen on this site, (something like 40 in all), and had articles published about most of them.

Submitted by jbond on 09-Jan-05 10:45amThis photo was taken by Kel Edge on the Avebury roundabout of the A4 during a photoshoot I did for Bike Magazine in September 1984, shortly before setting off in this machine for the incident-packed trip to the Bol d'Or 24 hour race at Paul Ricard in the South of France. The Bike magazine feature was written by then-editor Brecon Quaddy and appeared in the November 1984 edition, which also had Yours Truly riding the Z13 Quasar in a small photo on the front cover.
Best Feet Forward
Submitted by jbond on 08-Jan-05 6:01pmThis club was started in 1995 by a group of enthusiasts for Feet First motorcycles and scooters. The simplest way to describe a Feet First or "FF" machine is as a "Two Wheeled Car" in the most positive sense of the phrase. In other words an FF is a Powered Two Wheeler that is safe, warm dry and comfortable, but which can still nip in and out of town traffic and scratch with the best of them on the open road. It will also use less fuel and go faster than a conventional motorcycle with the same engine thanks to improved aerodynamics.
FFs have been around since the Wilkinson of 1909, the Neracar of the 1920s and the pioneering Avro Monocar of 1926. Gustav Baumm's record breaking NSU Flying Hammocks of the 1950s were the first "ultimate" FFs, proving that a recumbent riding position was the most efficient aerodynamically (200mph with 40bhp). All record breakers since, from the original 1956 Triumph Bonneville to the present, have been FF.

Mel Kiper's first 2011 Big Board
A trio of quarterbacks dot the top 10 of the first 2011 Big Board
A little perspective to start. Last year, back before any games in the college season had even been played, my first Big Board came out. Looking back, six of the players in that top 10 actually went in the top 10 of the recent draft. A few guys fell for various reasons. Whether it was Carlos Dunlap's judgement, a really odd interview process for Dez Bryant, or simply bad tape for Taylor Mays, some guys didn't remain that high. It happens every year.
But others, like Sam Bradford (No. 1), Ndamukong Suh (No. 5), Eric Berry (No. 2) and Gerald McCoy (No. 4) I liked early, and personnel folks clearly saw the same tape. So as I release the first Big Board for this year, know I always do it with a mixture of confidence, but also an assumption that I'll be wrong. Be it through injuries, lack of growth, off-the-field stuff, or just a desire to return to college -- I liked Bradford two years ago, too -- this is sure to change. Because of that, I also added a note about players I see as quite volatile in terms of this list.
But while there's a lot of time for the stories to be written, here's a first look at the players already in focus for next year's draft. Remember, this is not about draft position. This is about value. Don't confuse the two. I should also note: current size measurements are what I have from my sources on a guy. They are not official -- and in some cases, will even change as the weight room factors in this summer. (Asterisk denotes underclassmen.)
Analysis: All the physical tools -- size, arm, footwork. Accuracy should improve.
Analysis: Great arm, NFL smarts, solid footwork. Protoypical size and intangibles.
Analysis: Still just 19, freakish athlete; still developing consistency.
Analysis: The profile of a No. 1 receiver. Great size and speed, instinctive, great hands.
Analysis: Most consistent, complete DE here. Solid pass-rusher, steady against run.

In 2008, The National Audubon Society presented its Audubon Medal to writer and child advocate Richard Louv for encouraging more contact between children and the natural environment (http://www.audubon.org/nas/medal/). Louv has won attention around the world for his book, Last Child in the Woods, first published in 2005 and expanded in a 2008 edition. In it, Louv writes about the decreasing amount of experience in nature in the lives of American youth. The consequence of this situation, he argues, is the declining health of our population as well as other growing societal ills. He identifies the problem as "Nature-Deficit Disorder."
Some of the data Louv cites supporting his argument comes from the University of Texas at Austin. According to the Center for Research on the Influences of Television on Children (CRTIC), children in
Videophilia Replacing Biophilia
In a recent article in Kappan, Clare Lowell (2008) writes of "videophilia" as the tendency "to focus on sedentary activities involving electronic media" and says this new love object of our kids has "virtually supplanted the need for 'biophilia,' or the urge to affiliate with other forms of life" (p. 219). She cites researchers Hofferth and Sandberg (2001), who found that "the proportion of 9-12 year olds who engage in outside activities such as hiking, walking, fishing, beach play, and gardening has declined by 50 percent ...(and) children's free play time in a typical week has declined by a total of nine hours over a 25-year period" (p. 220). Hofferth and Sandberg state:
"After a full day at a school desk, the American child comes home to spend, on average, three or more sedentary hours in front of some kind of screen. What's worse, school budgets have slashed physical education programs in cost-cutting moves that have resulted in plummeting participation in daily physical education – down to 25% from 42% 17 years ago" (p. 220).
This situation is deplorable, and for parents, the health consequences alone should raise an alarm. Researchers who have studied the relationship between children's ability to focus and their exposure to nature through leisure activities found that children's attentional functioning improves after play in green settings. In one study it was found that the greener an activity area, the better the children functioned, with attention deficit symptoms becoming less severe (Faber Taylor, Kuo, & Sullivan, 2001).
No Child Left Inside Act
One of the positive outcomes of the wake-up call we owe to Richard Louv is the No Child Left Inside Act (NCLI) that passed the House of Representatives on Sep 18, 2008. The Senate did not consider the act and thus it has not been enacted into law. If the act is brought back in 2009, it could provide funding for schools and non-formal environmental education centers as well as authorize the creation of state environmental literacy plans. NCLI would increase our children's opportunities to discover their personal connections to the natural world. This act should become law for the simple reason that today's youngsters are tomorrow's leaders. We should not want to have people as our leaders who are alienated from wild environments or ignorant of the value of nature's ecosystem services.

I don't think I'm the paranoid type. Listen to my story about going to the gas station just now, and you decide;
I just drove out to the gas station to top off the tank for a trip tomorrow. While filling the tank, I'm watching two cars parked in front of the station where one just pulled up, and the two drivers acknowledge each other, but don't exit their vehicles.
I'm thirsty and decide to run in and grab a drink. As I approach the station door, a third car pulls up and one guy from each car gets out and all three acknowledge each other, and walk in with me. One of them says to the other "you ready"? Now, my alarms are ringing loud and clear, and the thought crosses my mind to turn in my tracks and leave. But I'm thirsty and just not in the mood to have these cretins force me to drive to the other side of town for just a cold drink. So I proceed to pick up my bottle of iced tea...
As I approach the cashier, there's one guy in front of me, and the other two fall in line behind me. The one behind me, steps around me, and jabs the guy in front in the shoulder and says "hold up". The guy in front of me, buys a pack of cigarettes and leaves. I buy my drink, and as I'm leaving, the guy that was in front of me walks back in.
The cashier is showing no signs of alarm. I'm pretty sure that once I walk out, it's on. So.... I stay . I have a sudden interest in the headlines of the trash tabloids by the door. The two that were behind me, seem to have forgotten what they were going to purchase and are now milling around. I catch one's eye, and smile and wink at him. With that, he jabbed his buddy and the two left, having purchased nothing. I continued to mill about until the guy that bought the smokes decides that it's time for him to go too.
I really didn't want to play cop, but I had nothing to call the police about, and I'm pretty sure that if I left, something very bad would have happened.
Okay, lemme have it.

Tuojiang Things to Do
I know little about the Southern - or Hunan - Great Wall other than its approximate location on the maps, but it makes its presence very visibly in the area to the west and north of Fenghuang.
The road between Fenghuang and Jishou crosses the wall many times, most spectacularly just south of Jishou where an arched bridge carries a small water pipeline across the road. The wall here is mainly earthen, with signs of stone foundations, but many of the stones have been removed over the centuries by local people for their houses and farms. Dry stone walls nearby show suspiciously large square stone blocks!
The wall is about six metres high and runs across the valley, east-west. It was difficult to follow visually for the road, and our schedule didn't allow us time to explore in either direction.
For reference, this wall crossing is at N28.21411, E109.65390, at a height of 220 metres. -
Other than visiting the town, Fenghuang would make a good base for exploring the many minority villages in the area, although one of my colleagues was told by the PSB that some areas are off-limits for foreigners, especially around Huaihua.
To the north of Fenghuang, the road crosses the southern Great Wall (separate review) and skirts a huge canyon, which would make great walking it only China made large-scale maps available for walkers!
To the west, the wall has been restored in several places, on the way to the Guizhou border.
To the south, the road to Huaihua passes through non-descript Maiyan before tracking the river, crossing it on an immense bridge and then plunging up a long, winding valley with simply beautiful sidevalleys. In March, the rice fields were just planted, and many higher plots had rape, colouring the landscape bright yellow. Midway between Maiyan and Huiahua there is a wonderful disused temple across the river, by a school. It looks like it is being restored. Hopefully they will get rid of the brightly painted advertisements adorning the walls.
Many of the villages here are made up of woodent buildings slightly different - bigger and longer - than the wooden structures to the south of Huaihua. Many houses are reached across the river by precarious narrow rope and plank bridges. -
We were passing through and on a tight schedule, so didn't get to visit any of the sights, but there are a number of things to see in town:
- The Black Dragon Bridge (the covered bridge that is Fenghuang's signature), also known as The Rainbow Bridge
- The Zhunti Nunnery, just to the south of the bridge on the south bank
- temples galore: The Three Kings/Heaven God Temple, the Town God Temple, the Strange Peak Temple, the family temple of the Chen family
- the former residences of author Shen Congwen and the first prime minister of republican China Xiong Xiling
- the Nanhuashan mountain narure reserve behind and above the south of the town
- palaces including the Rising Sun Palace and the Grand Palace and the Wanshou Palace
- the remaining city gates, including the northern and eastern city gates, south of the river and the Dongguan gate on the north side
- and of course the Wanming Pagoda overlooking the bend of the river.
All these sites are within 500 metres of the bridge
Tuojiang Restaurants
Fenghuang is teeming with places to eat, especially in the old town. A number are now ging down the 'backpacker' route offering Western breakfasts complete with pancakes.
Just across the bridge, every building along the alleyway parallelto the river is a restaurant or guesthouse: take your pick. Some have names, most don't.
They will serve just about anything Hunanese or Sichuanese and the ingredients are laid out in baskets just inside the doorway. Most have rickety staircases to an upper level where you can eat gazing down at the river and the townscape beyond.
A very pleasant place to eat and relax.
Tuojiang Transportation
Getting to Fenghuang is not quite as difficult as you might think. There is an airport at Tongren a few hours away on the Guizhou border, but with flights at the moment only to Guangzhou several times a week.
There are railway stations at Huaihua (better) and Jishou (slightly closer), and by flying into Zhangjiajie Airport (what used to be called Dayong) you can get the train down to Jishou (about 2hrs 30mins, several trains a day).
There are buses direct to Fenghuang from Changde, Yueyang and Changsha, but it may be easier to get to Huaihua first (train or bus) and then get a local bus.
The ride up from Jishou passes a spectacular canyon not far north of Fenghuang, and also passes the southern Great Wall at many places.
Tuojiang Off The Beaten Path
Fenghuang has architecture that I have not seen before, so it is all a little bit exciting to see it all. I am sure someone will write and say "Oh....you see that al over Guizhou or Jiangxi". Whatever.
The buildings of Fenghuang seem very unique (so far..I have still most of China to discover!).
There are some similar buildings on the plain west of Shaoyang back down on the 'plains of Hunan' among the timber framed buildings, but mostly these buildings were centred on Fenghuang, with isolated examples down the Wushui river valley east of Jishou and then again one or two examples in Huaihua and Jishou. Even in Maiyan, just twenty minutes away from Fenghuang, there are few buildings like these. One notable exception is the huge building - now derelict - right by the road tollbooth at the entrance to Maiyan from Huaihua.
The buildings are made from dark grey brick. These bricks have to be coloured this way with charcoal: at a roadside brickworks near Maiyan I saw normal red bricks being made alongside a much smaller group of grey bricks.
The lay of the bricks is also unusual, with smaller bricks used for effect, and presumably for strength. Sadly many of the newer buildings are just grey concrete with the mortar lines scratched on.
The building in the photo is a brand new structure on the approach road to Fenghuang, just behind the Wanming Pagoda. It looks like it might be about to be a hotel, which given its position, would be fabulous.

Music and Lyrics By ZhadoTom
I was on my way back from a long long dig,
My pockets were packed full of diamond goods,
I couldn't wait to get back to my home,
and show my wife the stuff that I had found,
but soon, I was shocked, to see my house had gone.
It's a creeper,
hes staring at me,
and hissing with gleee
cause hes a creeper
He messed up my house
and blew up my spouse
cause hes a creeper
whats the point of his life
he never had a wife
cause hes a creeper
but thats just hes thing
hes a griefing king
I hate creepers X3
So I began to rebuild my sweet home,
Collected all the stone and wood I need
Moved on back toward the building site
but got stopped by the sight of green,
Struck by deja vu, to see the rest had gone.
... Creepers you're all going to die, now that I've crafted this bow.

Nicki Minaj thinks her bum is "conversational". The 'Check It Out' hitmaker - who is known for her shapely physique - explained while she doesn't mind the fascination with her rear, she doesn't want it to "define" her. She told MTV News: "I don't mind the fascination. It's all good. I mean, I've said this before, it doesn't define me. I try my best not to focus my energy on it. Like, if you guys focus energy on and spend energy on it, I don't mind it. "You know, people are sitting in the barbershop talking about my butt, it's conversational. That's what people are gonna do. As long as I'm talking about Nicki Minaj, I'm good." However, one person fascinated by Nicki's curves is Rihanna, who the rapper admitted regularly "fondles" her. Nicki recently said: "Rihanna heard my song, 'Fly', and loved it. She sang it beautifully, so now when I see her she of course teasingly fondles me. She fondled me at the MTV Awards and the America Music Awards. I love her. "She's the best fondler ever because security didn't hem her up and she left to tell about it!"

Third Point LLC Letter To Yahoo! Board Of Directors Regarding Discovery Of Discrepancies In Educational Records Of CEO Scott Thompson And Director Patti Hart
Third Point believes Mr. Thompson and Ms. Hart owe Yahoo!, its Board of Directors and its shareholders an explanation. We also call upon the Board to immediately commission an independent investigation to determine whether these individuals (i) made misrepresentations to the Yahoo! Board and the investing public or (ii) have violated the Company's Code of Ethics. Unless there are satisfactory explanations for these apparent discrepancies, the Board will need to decide whether these two individuals should remain at the helm of Yahoo!. The actions of the other members of the Search and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees who had a hand in the vetting process should also be reviewed and handled appropriately.
If misrepresentations were made, they would confirm yet again that Yahoo! is in dire need of a complete corporate governance overhaul. As we have asserted repeatedly and forcefully, as Yahoo!'s largest outside shareholder and a voice for our fellow investors, we believe the Yahoo! Board requires fresh, outside perspectives from individuals who have no connection to a failed regime and have the expertise to address the serious challenges facing the Company. It is also critical that these individuals possess the highest levels of integrity and exhibit diligence and due care in all their dealings. Third Point has nominated four such individuals to the Board, whose qualifications can be reviewed on our shareholder website: www.valueyahoo.com. Rest assured, our nominees will adhere to the highest standards of corporate governance.
If there is a good explanation for the apparent discrepancies regarding the academic records of Mr. Thompson and Ms. Hart, we are confident that it will be provided promptly. However, in the event that there is no good explanation, we expect the Board to take immediate action. Yahoo! shareholders should not have to wait until the (not yet scheduled) Annual Meeting for our nominees to begin the hard work of truly changing the Yahoo! Board.

FIELD DAY: New York stylist Patricia Field will stage the opening runway show at Vienna's annual Life Ball, a showcase in the past for the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier and Vivienne Westwood. Katy Perry will also perform during the three-day extravaganza in mid-May, which last year raised $2 million for people living with HIV and AIDS. Meanwhile, guests at a gala auction in Paris this month to fete the 20th anniversary of the International Convention of Children's Rights can lay hands on the very Chanel guitar that was shown on the runway last fall. Other highlights include Thierry Henri's soccer shirt, signed by him. Proceeds from the event, whose sponsors include LVMH, will go to UNICEF and PlanNet Finance for children in India.
EASY TARGET: Anna Sheffield is spreading her seeds. The jewelry designer, whose Bing Bang line launched Bee 23 with Urban Outfitters last year, is once again hitting up the masses, this time with Target. Rumor has it she'll be designing jewelry under the name Anna Sheffield for Target, presumably for the retailer's Go International program, which has seen the likes of hip, downtown designers such as Rogan Gregory, Richard Chai and most recently Tracy Feith. The jewelry hits stores this August.

Hafez Mousavi These Lines I'm writing these lines for you, reveal not even one word in it to anybody after composing this poem I will throw the key into the ocean. We have little chance and this narrow paths will lead us nowhere. I know an unknown path but I have little chance to write and eyes which grudge to see us are watching us. We have little chance; let's meet Upon the Wing of a Butterfly You will sleep upon the wing of a butterfly and will move away so far that you can't hear the beating of your heart. The butterfly will sit on something soft as a flower or on a piece of imagination and then you will easily go into sleep... you go easily into sleep...You will sleep upon In Subsequent Sentences In subsequent sentences of this poem, a child emerges on concrete stairs, he remembers the running of the rabbits, the short flights of partridge; he remembers the wind, and the color of olive groves: green, leaden, silvery, green, leaden, silvery, "stop the car beside this jungle, after rain the air is delicious to eat!" (the child has not appeared, how untimely has this colorful rope fallen from the sky!). His hands are still wet, he remembers the walnut trees in a rainy day, with several non-plucked nuts on distant branches... In former lines of this poem a child is sitting on the concrete stairs who doesn't understand the anxiety of his eyes. They bring the horse, they mount a man on the horse - the child sees these things - in an early morning - this is seen by the man - He is sitting on concrete stairs, the yellow morning ends. They return the horse without the man and the anxiety of the eyes are conceivable. The non-plucked nuts fall from the tree. in the subsequent sentences of this poem a child walks to the street (it is clear that the sentence "it finishes early in the morning" wasn't correct) and a horse without rider neighs in the street and casts away dust from his mane into the wind and trots away. The child escapes the horse without rider, and follows his unfinished plays in pubs and streets. Translated by M. Alexandrian Read more about Hafez Mousavi
Zhaleh Esfahani (1921-2007)Zhaleh Esfahani, also known as "Zhaleh Soltani" and "Zhaleh;" was born in 1921, in Esfahan, Iran. She left Iran in 1947 and lived in the former Soviet Union until her return to Iran in 1979, after the Revolution. She lived in London until her death on 29th November 2007.Can't Keep Quiet"But what am I?Only a captive,chained to the earth.In silence I grow old,In silence I wither and die,And before longnothing will remain of meBut a handful of ashes." Forest and River "I wish I were like you," Said the forest to the roaring river, "Always travelling, always sightseeing; Rushing towards the pure domain of the sea, The kingdom of water; Water, The passionate, vigorous spirit of life, The liquid turquoise of light With eternal flow ..." "But what am I? Only a captive, chained to the earth. In silence I grow old, In silence I wither and die, And before long nothing will remain of me But a handful of ashes." "O forest, half-asleep, half-awake", Cried the river, "I wish I were you, Enjoying a seclusion of living emerald, And illuminated by moonlit nights; Being a mirror reflecting the beauties of Spring; A shaded rendezvous for lovers." "Your destiny, a new life every year; My life, running away from myself all the time; Running. running, running in bewilderment; And what is my gain Of all this meaningless journey? Ah ... never having a moment of calm and rest!" "No one can ever know what the other feels; Who does care to ask about a passer-by If he really existed or was only a shadow?" Now a passer-by Aimlessly walking in the shade Comes to ask himself, "Who am I? a river? a forest? Or both? River and forest? River and forest!" Read more about Zhaleh Esfahani
Shahnaz A'lami (1921-2003)Shahnaz A'lami was born in Esfahan. In 1954, one year after the Shah's coup d'etat and the overthrow of Mosaddegh's government, she left Iran and resided for many years in former East Germany. Berlin was her final home until her death in December 2003. Among her many and varied cultural roles, she ran an Iranian School, where pupils are taught Persian language and culture.Magic Suitecase I took with me a suitcase, light, very light, Two or three sets of baby clothes, A white georgette dress, An indistinct photograph of my mother, wearing a headdress, And a complete list of traditional things for the Noe-Rooz's celebrations, (1) Lest a single thing should be forgotten; These were what I had, or rather, people thought I had, in my suitcase With which I left the land of the generous sun. My suitcase was, or rather, people thought it was, very, very light; But what a big mistake! You must have seen the shows of professional magicians; They put their fingers up their sleeves, And take out whatever you may name: Birds, rabbits, kerchiefs of all colours, Sometimes a crystal jug, Sometimes a piece of stone, Fire, water, soil, Flowers, thorns and many other things; So was my empty magic suitcase. Now it has been almost a lifetime That from inside the same suitcase I have been taking out anything I want: Wonderful springs of Isfahan And its exhilarating groves in the outskirts; The colourful autumn of Shiraz And the fragrance of its orange trees; The ancient ruins of Persepolis; (2) The Baghestan Mountain with its historical inscriptions; The Palace of Princess Shirin; The poor village of Cham in Na'in; (3) The tattered dress of Fatima, a peasant little girl, And a flock of other children like her, Who are all in the same suitcase. I take them out; I sit and talk with them; I live with them; And the moment someone appears, They all run back into the suitcase, The very suitcase which people think must be very light and almost empty. When I make my will I will ask for my suitcase to be buried with me. No doubt they will say: "Her life was madness; And her will is foolish! What sort of will is that! Who needs a suitcase in the other world?" Let them say whatever they like; After all, who does know the secret of the professional magician of love? Is it not true that love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries? (4) (1) Noe-Rooz, or NowRuz, the Persian New Year's Day (21 March in the Western calendar) is followed by twelve days of celebrations and visiting relatives and friends. (2) Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of Darius, Xerxes and other kings of the Archaemenid period. Baghestan Mountain, near Kermanshah in western Iran, has on its face a bas-relief depicting Darius I, with captive chiefs and a record of his reign. In the same province was the palace of Shirin, an Armenian princess who is said to have been the wife of khosrow Parviz (521 - 628), one of the greatest kings of the Sassanid period. (3) Cham is a village near the town of Na'in, famous for its carpets. (4) The words in italics are part of a famous couplet from the "Masnavi" of Jalal-od-Din Rumi, one of the greatest Persian Mystic or Sufi poets, who is also known as Mowlavi. He lived a good part of his life in Konya in Turkey, where his tomb is a shrine for a dervish sect known as "Mowlaviyyeh". Read more about Shahnaz A'lami
Parvin E'tesami (1907-1941)Parvin E'tesami was born in 1907 in Tabriz, Iran. Her formative years were spent in Tehran where her family had moved and where she lived an extraordinarily simple and tranquil life close to her father, Yusif E'tesami (E'tesam al-Mulk). Here she gained her knowledge of the Arabic language and a solid grounding in Arabic and Persian literatures. Reportedly, she started composing poetry when she was eight years old. Within the second decade of her life (1920), E'tesam al-Mulk founded a literary magazine called "Bahar" to which Parvin contributed regularly. In fact, in the long run, this magazine became a main vehicle for the promotion of her literary talent in a male-dominated society. Parvin's themes of humanism and liberalism struck a special cord with her audiences.E'tesam al-Mulk, however, was not satisfied with the amount of knowledge that his daughter had gained from his personal instruction. Neither was he satisfied with the traditional curricula offered at the public and private schools in Tehran. Eventually, he entered Parvin in the American College for Girls where she learned English and became familiar, first-hand, with the cultures of the West. Parvin graduated from the American College for Girls in 1925. Then, after a short stint as instructor at the College, she decided to return to her family and devote her entire time to composing poetry.Parvin was an unassuming young woman; some argue, correctly, that she was an exemplary Muslim woman. But that distinction, in no way, meant an easy young woman to deal with, especially when such germane principles as justice and fair play were involved. Parvin declined to tutor the queen in 1926 because of the high degree of blame that she attributed to the person of the sovereign, the queen's husband; and, in 1936, she refused to accept a third-rate medal offered her for contribution to Persian literature by the Ministry of Culture. That medal, she said, was motivated by the exploitative interests of those offering it rather than by a genuine appreciation of her poetry. Iranian WomenFormerly a woman in Iran was almost non-Iranian. All she did was struggle through dark and distressing days.Her life she spent in isolation; she died in isolation. What was she then if not a prisoner?None ever lived centuries in darkness like her. None was sacrificed on the altar of hypocrisy like her.In the courts of justice no witness defended her. To the school of learning she was not admitted.All her life her cries for justice remained unheeded. This oppression occurred publicly; it was no secret.Many men appeared disguised as her shepherd. Within each a wolf was hiding instead.In life's vast arena such was woman's destiny: to be pushed and shoved into a corner.The light of knowledge was kept from her eyes. Her ignorance could not be laid to inferiority or sluggishness.Could a woman weave with no spindle or thread? Can anyone be a farmer with nothing to sow or to reap?The field of knowledge yielded abundant fruit, but women never had any share in this abundance.A woman lived in a cage and died in a cage. The name of this bird in the rose garden was never mentioned.Imitation is the desert of women's perdition, the pitfall causing her troubles.Clever is that woman who never treads that murky roadBeauty depends on knowledge; bracelets of emerald or Badakhshan rubies do not indicate superiority.All glamour of painted silks cannot match the simple beauty of a tunic. Honor depends on merit, not on indulgence in vanities.Shoes and clothes are made worthy by the person who wears them. One's value does not rise and fall with high and low prices.Simplicity, purity, and abstinence are the true gems. Mined gems are not the only brilliant jewels.What is the use of gold land ornaments of the woman is ignorant? Gold and jewels will not cover up that blemish.Only the robe of abstinence can mask one's faults. The robe of conceit and passion is no better than nakedness.A woman who is pure and dignified can never be humiliated. That which is pure cannot be affected by the impurities of incontinence.Chastity is a treasure, the woman its guard, greed the wolf. Woe if she knows not the rules of guarding the treasure.The Devil never attends the table of piety as guest. He knows that that is no place of feasting.Walk on the straight path, because on crooked lanes you find no provision or guidance, only remorse.Hearts and eyes do need a veil, the veil of chastity. A worn-out chador is not the basis of faith in Islam. A Woman's PlaceA home without a woman lacks amity and affection. When one's heart is cold, the soul is dead.Providence has nowhere decreed in book or discourse. that excellence is man's, defect woman's share.In creation's edifice woman has always been the pillar. Who can build a house without a foundation?If woman hadn't shone like the sun above life's mountain. love's jeweler in vain would seek for gems in the mine.Woman was an angel the moment she showed her face. How ironic, then, that Satan slanders the angel!Plato and Socrates were great because the mothers who nurtured them were themselves great.Loghman was succored by his mother in the cradle long before attendance at school made him a philosopher.Whether heroes or mystics, ascetics or jurists, they all were first pupils in her school.How can a child with no mother learn to love? A kingdom with no ruler offers no safety and order.Do you want to know the duties of man and woman? The wife is the ship, the husband the sailor.When the captain is wise and the ship solidly built. why should there be fear of maelstroms and tempests?If disaster strikes on this sea of troubles. both can rely on each other's diligence and effort.Today's girls are tomorrow's mothers. On the mothers rests the greatness of the sons.The clothes of good men would be all tattered, if good women's hands didn't mend their holes.Wherein lie man's strength and sustenance? In his wife's support. What are woman's riches? Love of her children.A good wife is more than the lady of the house. She is its physician and nurse, guardian and protector.In times of felicity she is comrade and tender friend. In times of adversity she shares the trouble and is helpmate.An understanding wife frowns not in times of paucity. A gentle husband fouls not his mouth with ugly words.If life becomes restive like an unruly horse, husband and wife assist each other in drawing the reins.That man or woman succeeds to greatness who gathers in fruits from the garden of knowledge.In the world of arts and science are proffered attractive goods. Let's trade in that market.A woman who neglects to buy the gems of education and learning has sold the jewel of her precious life too cheaply.Alive are only those who wear a robe of excellence; dead are those whose worth is measured by their nakedness.Providence provides us with countless books of ideas. We tear them all apart in search of a title or slogan.When schools were wisely opened, we behaved foolishly. When the arts flourished, we hid ourselves.If the Devil's booth of selfishness and langor is torn down, we are all lost.Our time is spent in things like finding out how much this one's dress cost, how much that one's shoes.For our bodies we buy fanciful ornaments. For our souls we tailor only coats of contempt.We undermine the foundation of our spiritual building with conceit. but build up new shops everywhere for our body's sake.This attitude betrays corruption, nor dignity. This conduct represents abjection, not glory.We do not grow wild like weeds on plains and river banks. We are not little birds content with some seeds.If we stick to wearing our own homespun, what matter to us Whether others' brocade has gone up in price or down.Worn out cloth of our own manufacture is comelier Than the silk produced by foreigners.Is there any robe more precious than that of knowledge? What brocade is prettier than that of learning?Any clew spun by the spindle of wisdom in the workshop of ambition turns into linen and silk.Not by wearing earrings, necklaces, and coral bracelets can a woman count herself a great lady.What are colorful gold brocades and glittering ornaments good for, if the face lacks the beauty of excellence?The hands and neck of a good woman, O Parvin, deserve the jewels of learning, not of color. Translations by Heshmat MaoyyedGlossary chador a veil worn by Persian women covering the entire body and dress from head to toe. Loghman a legendary philosopher recognized in Islamic tradition as a symbol of wisdom. Source: Iraj Bashiri; http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/Poets/Parvin.html Read more about Parvin E'tesami
Yadollah Royai Yadollah Royai (1931- )Born in Damqan, northeast of Iran, Yadolleh Royai is the poet of the New Wave or the Poem of Imagination. He is a graduate of college of law and human sciences and he has worked for the state television for several years. His poetry renewed debate about the relative value of form and context in modern Persian poetry. Yadollah is careful to produce unity in his poems. His sea songs reflect French symbolism. He moves to exotic marine landscape and creates glorious lyrical images, focusing mostly on symbols rather than metaphors in image building. His lyrics are and deeply imbued with Persian mysticism. MarineSilence seemed a flower bouquet In my larynx. The melody of the coast Was the breeze of my kiss and your open eye-lid. On the water, the bird of the wind, Was disturbed in the nest of a thousand sounds. On waters The bird was restless. The sound of the wet thunder, And the light, the wet light of the lightening, Built a mirror in the water With a luminous frame out of the sea flames. The breeze of kiss and Your eye-lid and The bird of wind, Grew into fire and smoke In my larynx Silence was like a flower bouquet. Read more about Yadollah Royai
Houshang Ebtehaj (1928- )Houshang Ebtehaj was born in 1928 in Rasht, North of Iran. He published his first book when he was only 19 years old. He chose 'Sayeh' /sa:yeh/ as his pen name, which means 'shadow' / 'shade'. Ebtehaj was active in different literary movements and gatherings and took considerable part in various literary magazines such as Sokhan and Kavian. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Sayeh spent some time in prison for his ideas. He has several works in poetry almost all of which are well-known in the world of Persian literature. In his poems, he is shown as a highly motivated person in love, who has gone through years of pain and suffering. He also worked and did some meaningful researches on Hafez poems that is of high value. O Joy! O joy! O liberty! O joy of liberty! When you return, What shall I do With this melancholy heart? Our sorrow is heavy, Our hearts are bleeding, Blood spurts from our heads to our feet, From head to foot we are wounded, From head to foot we are bloody, From head to foot we are all pain. We have exposed our loving heart to hazards For your sake. When the tongue feared the lip, When the pen doubted the paper, Even, even our recollection dreaded to speak during dreams, We used to engrave your name in our heart Like an image on turquoise. When in that dark street, Night followed night, And the horror of its silence Crashed on the closed window, We spread your voice like spurting blood Like a stone thrown in the swamp On the roof and at the door. When the deceit of the beast, Disguised in Solomon's garment, Wore the ring on his finger, We used to rhyme your secret, like God's mightiest name In poetry and ode. We spoke of Wine, of flower, of morning, Of mirror, of flight, Of Phoenix, of the sun. We spoke of light, of goodness, Of wisdom, of love, Of faith, of hope. That bird that journeyed in the cloud, That seed in the ground that grow into a lawn, That light that danced in the mirror, And murmured to our heart's solitude, Spoke of meeting you at every breath. In the school, in the market, In the mosque, in the town square, In jail, in chains, We murmured your name: Liberty!, Liberty! Liberty! Those nights, those nights, those nights, Those dark and horrible nights, Those nights of nightmare, Those nights of tyranny, Those nights of faith, Those nights of shouting, Those nights of patience and awakenings, We sought you in the street, We called your name on the roofs: Liberty!, Liberty! Liberty! I said: "When you return I will lift my young heart Like the banner of victory, And will hoist The bloody banner On your lofty roof. I said: "On the day that you return, I will strew this blossoming blood, Like a bouquet of rose, At your foot; And will hang My rolling arms Around your proud neck. O liberty! See! Liberty! This carpet lying under your foot, Is dyed with blood. This flower garlands is made of blood, It is the flower of blood... O liberty! You come through the alley of blood, But You will come and I tremble in my heart: What is this which is concealed in your hand? What is this which is twisted around your leg? O liberty! Are you Coming With chains?... The Wall Behind this lofty mountain, Beside the pale sea, There was a girl with whom I was madly in love. As if Gali Had been created That I should love her fervently, And she should love me sweetly... And you know O silent stars! How happy we were, Me and she were drunk in the sweet sleep of hope, And what pure happiness Laughed in my eyes and hers... And now, O coy maidens, If you aren't dumb, Open your mouths And say what happened from that calumny? What happened to this clouded spring! And between me and she, Now lies this vast plain, Now this long way, And this lofty mountain... Translations by M.

Manouchehr Atashi (1933-2005)Manouchehr Atashi is a rare poet who has created a special language and diction in modern poetry. Born in the warm southern coastal region and with vivid image of the desert environment and tribal life, his poems are the poems of the fighting horsemen. He combines the coloring of sincere experience with various episodes, which gives a charming tincture to his poems. After secondary school education in Bushir, Atashi received his BS degree in English literature in Tehran. His poetry is the poetry of the revolting warrior of the humiliated southern tribesman. He takes his work seriously and although attached to his native birthplace his poems are universal scope. In his later works Atashi has relaxed his rhythm and has moved toward direct expression of emotion. The Lay of Regret One morning - One true morning - If the sun rises according to your wishes; A frame of mountain and valley, A frame of window, if the bird had reaches you - A wide plain, wet tulips! No! A laughing sepal, A sigh of contentment and peace - O you melancholy and persistent one - O living stone, an embodiment of patience! - A defeated life would have been your portion. We Didn't Know Had we advanced a bit further Our path would have perhaps led to the sea, Our sleep would have perhaps turned into dream. Had we paddled more Perhaps we would have an agreeable wind, If we didn't return to the coast, The water would perhaps have sucked our corpses into the depth. We were neither a rushing river, To gallop over, obstacles, sharp ends, plains to... the sea, Neither were we a moat to serve as watering trough for the mangy wolf... Nor a mangy wolf which is after its carnal desires, To submit ..... to the secret moment of a cursed death undisturbed. We didn't who called us, when and why? whom we called and why we joined the path Or why we were delayed. .... We didn't know who we were and when we existed, And who has tied this dog inside ourselves to the chain of our vein, And when. We don't know who we were and who we are, Whether our pain was from a wound inflected by a heavenly stone Or we ourselves are a stinking wound in the body of existence... We didn't know.Translations by M.

Nima Yushij (1895-1960) Nima Yushij (his real name is Ali Esfandiyari), the eldest son of Ebrahim Nuri of Yush was born in November 1896. He grew up in Yush, mostly helping his father with the farm and taking care of the cattle. As a boy, he visited many local summer and winter camps and mingled with shepherds and itenary workers. Life around the camp fire, especially images emerging from the shepherds' simple and entertaining stories about village and tribal conflicts, impressed him greatly. These images, etched in the young poet's memory waited until his power of diction developed sufficiently to release them. Nima's early education took place in a maktab. A truant student, the mullah had to seek him out in the streets, drag him to school, and punished him. At the age of twelve, Nima was taken to Tehran and registered at the St. Louis School. The atmosphere at the Roman Catholic school did not change Nima's ways, but the instruction of a thoughtful teacher did. Nizam Vafa, a major poet himself, took the budding poet under his wing and nurtured his poetic talent. Instruction at the Catholic school was in direct contrast to instruction at the makteb. Similarly, living among the urban people was at variance with life among the tribal and rural peoples of the north. In addition, both these lifestyles differed greatly from the description of the lifestyle about which he read in his books or listened to in class. Although it did not change his attachment to tradition, the difference set fire to young Nima's imagination. In other words, even though Nima continued to write poetry in the tradition of Sa'di and Hafiz for quite some time his expression was being affected gradually and steadily. Until, eventually, a time came when the impact of the new became too overwhelming. It overpowered the tenacity of tradition and led Nima down a new path. Consequently, Nima began to replace the familar devices that he felt were impeding the free flow of ideas with innovative, even though less familiar devices that enhanced a free flow of concepts. Ay Shab (O Night) and Afsaneh (Myth) belong to this transitional period in the poet's life (1922). Hey, People Hey, you over there who are sitting on the shore, happy and laughing, someone is dying in the water, someone is constantly struggling on this angry, heavy, dark, familiar sea. When you are drunk with the thought of getting your hands on your enemy, when you think in vain that you've given a hand to a weak person to produce a better weak person, when you tighten your belts, when, when shall I tell you that someone in the water is sacrificing in vain? Hey, you over there who are sitting pleasantly on the shore, bread on your tablecloths, clothes on your bodies, someone is calling you from the water. He beats the heavy wave with his tired hand, his mouth agape, eyes torn wide with terror, he has seen your shadows from afar, has swallowed water in the dark blue deep, each moment his impatience grows. He raises from these waters a foot, at times, at times, his head... Hey you there, he still has his eyes on this old world from afar, he's shouting and hopes for help. Hey you there who are calmly watching from the shore, the wave beats on the silent shore, spreads like a drunk fallen on his bed unconscious, recedes with a roar, and this call comes from afar again: Hey, you over there... And the sound of the wind more heart-rending by the moment, and his voice weaker in the sound of the wind; from waters near and far again this call is heard: Hey, you over there... My House is CloudyMy House is Cloudy the entire earth is cloudy. Above the narrow pass, the shattered and desolate and drunken wind whirls downward. The entire world is desolated by it so are my senses! Oh, piper who has lost the road entranced by the melody of the flute, where are you? My house is cloudy but the cloud is on the verge of weeping. In the memory of my bright days that slipped through my fingers, I cast a look upon my sun on the threshold of the ocean and the entire world is desolated and shattered by the wind and on the road, the piper continues to play his flute, in this cloud-filled world his own path stretching out before him.The Soldier's Family The candle burns, beside the curtain set, So far this woman hasn't slept yet;Over the cradle she leans (alone),O wretched one, O wretched one.A few rags form the curtain of the spouseTo protect the house. For two days no food she has tasted,With two kids, she hasn't rested;One is ten, she is sleeping,The other is awake and wailing.She cries for her mother's milk which is smallThis is another woe, (it is dismal).The neighbor's child wears well,She has her sports and eats well.What difference is between these (I'm grieved)What the other owns this one is bereaved.A soldier's child dressed in rags (and gall)Why must she live at all?All she sees is but asperityWhat she reads, breathes adversity;Her back is bending, with all the load,Her eyesight is dim in this abode;Thus she labors like a man;Thus she toils, the woman. In the Cold Winter NightIn the cold winter night The furnace of the sun too Burns not like the hot hearth of my lamp, And no lamp is luminous as mineNeither it freezes by the cold moon that shines above. I lit my lamp when my neighbor was walking in a dark night,And it was a cold winter night,The wind encircled the pine,Amid silent heapsShe was lost from me, separated from this narrow lane,And still the story is remembered,And on my lips these words lingered:"Who lights? Who burns?Who saves this tale of the heart?"In the cold winter nightThe furnace of the sun too Burns not like the hot hearth of my lamp, And no lamp is luminous as mineNeither it freezes by the cold moon that shines above.Source: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/bashiri/Poets/Nima.html Read more about Nima Yushij
Sohrab Sepehri (1928-1980) Sohrab Sepehri, poet and painter was born in 1928 in Kashan Iran. After obtaining his high school diploma, he attended and obtained a Bachelor of Arts from Honar-haye Ziba (Fine Arts) Faculty of Tehran University. In the first twelve years after his graduation he worked in several government agencies while on the side pursuing his personal interest in poetry and painting. During these years he also travelled on numerous occasions to Europe, and Africa. In 1964 he completely resigned from his governmental position and began focusing all his time and energy on poetry and painting. He moved and lived in USA for one year, and subsequently spent about two years living in Paris. During this time period he painted numerous paintings applying the same soft and gentle style, which can be found in his poems. In 1979 he was diagnosed with cancer and for the last time he moved to England for treatment. A year later, in 1980, he passed away in Tehran and now he rests in his birthplace, Kashan. The Foot Steps Of Water Life's a pleasant tradition. Life's wing is as vast as death. Life's a jump the size of love. Life's not something, we put on the mantel of habit and forget. It does not matter where I am. The sky is always mine. Windows, ideas, air, love, earth, all mine. Why does it matter if sometimes, the mushrooms of nostalgia grow? Let's take off our clothes. Water is just a foot away. Let's have a basket and fill it up with all the greens and all the reds. We are not to comprehend; the secret of roses, but maybe swimming in the incantation of roses. Or may be looking for the song of truth between the morning glory, and the century. BodhiThere was a special moment,All doors were open. No leaves, no branches, The garden of annihilation had appeared. birds of places were silent,This silent, that silent,The silence itself was utterance. What was that area? Seems a ewe and a wolf, Standing side by side.* The shape of the sound, pale The voice of the shape, weak Was the curtain folded? I was gone, he was gone, We had lost us. The beauty was alone. Every river had become a sea, Every being had become a Buddha.* Refers to dawnTranslations by: Mahvash Shahegh An Oasis in the Moment If you come to visit me, You will find me behind the realm of naught. Behind naught there is a place Where the veins of the air is full of dandelions Who bring the happy tidings of flowers blossoming at the farthest bush. Over the sands also you can see the delicate footsteps of the horseman who mounted the anemone hill of ascension at morning. Beyond the realm of naught, the umbrella of desire has been spread So that the breeze of thirst can run into the root of the leave, The siren of the rain resounds. One is lonely here, And in this loneliness the shade of an elm tree stretches to eternity. If you come to visit me Come gently and slowly lest the fragile china of my solitude cracks. The Address "Where is the friend's house?," the rider asked in the twilight. Heaven paused; The passerby bestowed the flood of light on his lips to darkness of sands And pointed to a poplar and said: "Near the tree, Is a garden-line greener than God's dream Where love is bluer than the feathers of honesty. Walk to the end of the lane which emerges from behind puberty, Then turn towards the flower of solitude; Two steps to the flower, Stay by the eternal mythological fountain of earth where a transparent fear will visit you. In the flowing intimacy of the space you will hear a rustling sound: You will see a child Who has ascended a tall plane tree to pick up chicks from the nest of light. Ask him: Where is the friend's house? Paintings by Sepehri The reeds are brawling. The birds are humming. The door is open and the glance is lost, a message, reaching for the continuation of the field. A cow under the spruce. Eternity on the awnings. Illusions, jutting the cusp of every leaf. And there are no words,no names. Below, road of honesty. Above, sun of unison. The Primal Call Where are my shoes who was it that called Sohrab the voice was familiar, as is air with the body of a leaf mother is sleeping so are Manutchehr and Parvaneh, and maybe everybody in town it is a summer night, an elegy quietly passing over the moments and a cool breeze is sweeping my sleep along the green edges of the blanket there is a smell of migration my pillow is stuffed with the songs of the swallows. Morning will come and the sky will migrate into this water bowl, I must go tonight. I spoke through the openest window with the people in this land but I heard no word of the stuff of times no eye glanced lovingly at the earth nobody was fascinated by a garden nobody took the magpie in the field seriously. I feel as gloomy as a cloud when I see Hoori - that is our neighbor's mature girl - under the rarest elm on the earth studying theology. But there are some things, some high moments ( I saw a woman poet, for example so absorbed in space that the sky laid eggs in her eyes, also one night a man asked me how long it takes to reach the rising grapes. ) I must go tonight I must pack the suitcase which has enough room for my robe of solitude and must go where I can see epical trees towards that wordless enormity which keeps calling me. Somebody again called Sohrab where are my shoes ? Read more about Sohrab Sepehri

Reported by: Margo Gray
It is a somber anniversary for Ocean Isle Beach. One year ago, a house fire claimed the lives of seven South Carolina college students.
The tragedy undoubtedly shook the small beach community, and many residents are still coping with the loss.
October 28th, 2007, a fire ripped through a home on Scotland Street in Ocean Isle Beach, killing seven college students. A year later, residents in this community are still reeling from what happened.
Ida Moon lives a block away from where the home once stood. "It was an unbelievable thing, it was like a bad dream," she said. In her twenty years of living on the island, she said she has never experienced anything like that day. "I think it's very tragic when any young, viable person is lost."
A steel cross sits at the foot of the Odell Williamson Bridge in memory of the seven young lives. It serves as a reminder to all who enter Ocean Isle Beach.
Jim Pierce is an Ocean Isle resident. He said, "It was a shock to everybody and it still weighs heavy. Every time we go over the bridge we see that memorial."
Stacey Hewett feels the same way. "This is a very close knit community and something like that really impacted the community. We felt for the families and the whole community came together and struggled to deal with the tragedy."
The town has no ceremonies planned for the anniversary. Fire officials have also turned down our request for comment, stating they are trying to put the tragedy behind them.
