Sally Potter’s most recent film YES featured in a discussion on US National Public Radio’s (NPR) Morning Edition on the 4th February. Valentino's Sheik: An 'Other' Made to Swoon talked about the 1921 silent film The Sheik, based on Edith Maude Hull’s fictional novel of the same name.

Simon Shaheen, a Palestinian musician and lecturer, spoke of YES, saying that he hadn't seen a feature film challenging the notions of love and ethnicity put forth in The Sheik until three years ago, when YES was released.

"I think it's interesting to point out it took nearly a century to see a man from the Middle East honestly loving an American woman," says Shaheen.

So good,I like it.I am entry-level half tattoo sleeves master and quite often my customers want to see how a body piercing stores that they've chosen may be like on them. And I found such interesting thing as Designs tattoo stocking, it is easy and very cheap in comparison to big application with many different features that I do not require.
