A stone Mine far away in heart of desert, almost 200km far from nearest city. Imagine how hard is working with stone and they work 12 hours a day but they are satisfied with the salary and their situation, because they send the money for their families in different parts of country.
The situation is hard and unbelievable for urban people. I just spent two nights in this mine and I just can’t believe anyone can live without today’s living facilities. But there are also so many good things, like fresh air, desert silence, honest and lovely people.

Freebies are nice definitely.
Today i selected a list of quality icons that you can use for your blogs and websites. Please note that the license of each icon set is different and you should check it carefully before download.

Autumn (also known as fall in North American English) is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter. In the northern hemisphere, the onset of autumn is generally considered to be around September and in the southern hemisphere, its beginning is considered to be around March.

Here is a java script function that opens a new window (popup) and puts it on center of screen:

The link example would be like this:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="PopupCenter('http://www.nigraphic.com', 'myPop1',400,400);">CLICK TO OPEN POPUP</a>

This is a COPY and PASTE script, tested on internet explorer 7 / 6 and firefox 2.

Photography at Central Desert of Iran - Maranjab

Visiting a place which takes ones glance to eternity, becoming deeply impressed by the scenery of moving sands and burning salt marshes, seeing the ruins of ancient monuments examining rare plants, seeing strange animals are among motivations that prompt the lovers of natural geography to embark on a trip to the deserts of Iran.

A brief review of the travelogues written by these curious visitors reveals that in every period at least one researcher has tried to see parts of Iran's Kavirs(Deserts). One of the most well known travelers of the Kavir is Swedish man Sven Hedin who visited Iran in 1905. Hedin knew Iran & tried to make it known worldwide more than any one of his colleagues.

Hedin traveled on the back of camel day & night for weeks driving hundreds of kilometers along the narrow Kavir paths to portray the land in his book in a way that any reader can smell the dust & salt and sense the heat of the sands, the transparency of skies and the moisture of the Kavirs rain showers in its pages and see closely the wild animals which pass by while listening to the sound of the bells hanging from the neck of camels which have crossed the Kavir in caravans of centuries ago.
This photo was taken at Maranjab Desert, east of Kashan - Esfahan - Iran.

Icons are usually small, detailed works or art that are useful for a heckuvalotta things. I’ve seen them used a lot on the web as navigation or used to accent a button, as well as in interfaces/program design, and on desktops for us compulsive customizers.

Here I’ve collected a list of sites which provide free icon sets. Although you don’t need to pay for these, since they are free, it does not mean you can do whatever you want with them. Make sure to read the respective terms and conditions for each website!
