The long history of Iran


Older than most countries & civilizations on this planet & now in the world news for disputed election related unrest - but if you are just starting to read a lot about Iran, here is a whole lot of info. - links from Wikipedia covering over 5,000 year (that's right, FIVE THOUSAND - that's like 50 or more human lifetimes - if you were lucky enough to live a 100 years every single time) - apparently one of the oldest nations in the current world (up there with Egypt, China, India, & one time peers of the Ancient Greeks & Romans):

"The history of Delaware as a political entity dates back to the early colonization of North American by European settlers. It is made up of three counties established since 1680, before the time ofWilliam Penn. Each had its own settlement history. Their early inhabitants tended to identify more closely with the county than the colony or state. Large parts of southern and western Delaware were thought to have been in Maryland until 1767. All of the state has existed in the wide economic and political circle of Philadelphia." Read the rest at Wikipedia.

One of the best looking restaurants in the DC area

Granted, I have not been to every restaurant in this town. But, even long before I started working with Jackie's on the Lo-Def screening series, I was a big fan of the look of the restaurant (future location for a film shoot? oh yeah) & of course the food is as delicious as the visual design of the place. Here, judge for yourself re: the look of the place - as seen above, & more pics at the site . Mouth watering interior design for a filmmaker who likes colors & interesting shapes. - Sujewa
