When we heard you were from Iran, we instantly thought of Ferdowsi. We think his Shahnameh was as excellent piece of work as ever to come out of Iran. Are you into poetry as well? I love Ferdowsi, but there are others that you should read. People like Ahmad Shamlou and Sadi. And Hafiz, too. Hafiz… he was good, eh? Can you recite a couplet or two from one of his poems?

"I don't know what to make of this," said Balon, who was not part of the study. Certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, are risk factors for impotence. Previous research has suggested that medications themselves, especially when a man is taking several different prescription drugs, are tied to a greater risk for erectile dysfunction (see Reuters Health story of December 8, 2011 here: http://reut.rs/vp9UAz). To see how that relationship shakes out with individual medic...
