Some things that have come across our desk this week.

• DenDen and friends “raise capacity within a population to take charge of its own spiritual, social and intellectual development.”
• Handmade Weddings: In the Moment (aka Golriz + Devon)
• Rethinking prosperity: sustainable production and consumption
• Lowell Handmade’s Etsy page.

Was going to embed a video of Golriz+Devon, but that seemed incorrect. Go read the Etsy write up instead. And to satisfy the video fix, here’s Mi Leaozinho from Saman Maydani on Vimeo.

Negin and I are packing, preparing for part 2 of visiting family. Osita is over, and we’re having a quiet night in the house. Seems like a good time for a little weekly web round-up.

• Baha’i Thought blogs about a positive portrayal of African Americans in the film 2012
• My sister’s dance students perform at Movement City open house. (Note the young lady in the tutu.)
• Jeune Street blogs the African Studies Association Conference in New Orleans (tag with: Katrina, NOLA, Lower Ninth Ward, Making it Right).
• And if you’re working with the younger set, you’re probably familiar by now with jerkin’. Here’s a video if you don’t know: The Ranger$, jerkin’ for the fans.
• We’ve been visiting the phenomenal Colin, Kim, and baby Caleb when possible to read through Paul Lample’s “Revelation and Social Reality.” Palabra Publications also has downloadable PDF e-books on topics relating to the Baha’i Faith.
