Egypt and western Asia for more than two millennia and glassmakers in those regions went about their business despite the momentous political, social, and religious changes taking place around them. Glassmakers inherited many of the techniques of their forebears in the Byzantine and Sasanian empires, including glassblowing, the use of molds, the manipulation of molten glass with tools, and the decorative application of molten glass. Islamic glass production from the seventh through the fourteenth century was also greatly innovative and witnessed glorious phases—such as those of superb relief-cut glass and spectacular gilded and enameled objects—that established its supremacy in glassmaking manufacture throughout the world.

With pro-Ahmadinejad crowds gathering at Vali Asr Square in central Tehran, Mir Hossein Moussavi urged his own supporters to cancel their plans to rally at the square following mass protests a day earlier in which seven people were reportedly killed.
Instead, his supporters gathered at a different location in Tehran, according to video footage of the rally.
The location could not be confirmed because of the restrictions imposed on foreign media Tuesday by the Iranian government.
Reporters from international news outlets, including CNN, have been relegated to broadcast from their hotel rooms and offices only. (Full story)

My answer to that question is yes and no. Yes, because you never really get to wear your winter gear here. No, because I don't have to worry about brushing the snow from my car.
