Wallpaper of March 2014
This
is a picture of 'Bodrum Castle' taken by me, on July 2011. It was a
peaceful, quiet morning, when I went for a walk in and around the
neighbourhood of the Castle.
In another blog, one day in the coming future, I will write about 'Bodrum' and also the historical Castle in this pristine town.
Thank you for visiting,

Swedish Aspen Tree
Swedish Aspen Tree
I
planted Swedish Aspen Trees in both the front and back yards of my
home; and wanted to complete further research about these beautiful
trees.
Here it is below, briefly:
Swedish
Aspen Tree is a fast growing columnar tree. It is ideally suited for
urban or downtown homes where space is limited between properties. The
Aspen thrives in a variety of growing conditions and it requires little
maintenance.
Also,
the Aspen is an excellent wind break or screen for privacy tree. The
leaves of the tree are large and green in color. It branches near to
the ground and goes straight up. Plus, one thing to keep in mind, of
these trees are that they are all 'male' therefore, it will not produce
the fluff to which so many people are allergic too.
Like I mentioned, I planted a total of five of them in my property and I will monitor their progress.
Attached, I have included a few pictures.
Thank you.

Ben
daha neler anlatirim neler gordum ve artik karismak istemiyorum ama cok gecimsizler. Bak gidiyor Fatma'nin akrabalarina, son Zonguldak
gelisinde Fatma'yi kotuluyor. Fatma bunu duyuyor, ve kiz bana diyor
'Ben nasil konusurum onunla beni gidiyor kotuluyor ve onun yanina niye
gideyim?'
Diger
insanlara cok ama cok kere bagirdim, konusmadim gunlerce, cunku Pelin
hanimi aramiyor diye. Ama hakliymis bazilari, cunku onlarin hakkindada
Pelin hanim kotu seyler soylerdi ve bunu duyarlardi ve en sonunda evden
kovdurduk onlari.
Bu
kadinlarin, bunlarin gecimsizliklerinden bazi sevdigim insanlardan
ayrildim. Ama onlara sorsan derler 'seven katlanir' bu zamanda
katlanmazlar Zehra abla.
Yani
Ben bunlari onceden baska iliskide yasadim ve bu Pelin ogrenmedimi
millet ile iyi davranmayi. Bu Sefer umrumda degil. Bir daha kimse
ile, bilhassa bana aksamlari cay yapan, bana kapiyi acan bir insan ile
kavgali olmak istemiyorum. Isteyen konusur, istemeyen konusmaz. Bak
Zehra abla, eskiden icim yaniyordu kadinlar kavga ettiginde, simdi hic
oyle degil. Icim rahat cunku pek fazla bir sey kotu yapmadim, kendi
aralarinda halletsinler. Pelin hanim buyuklugunu gostersin ve ozur
dilesin, ve gururunu yutsun ve arasin, gitsin gelsin.
Onu,
bir ay once Mcdonalds Restaurant'da gordum oturuyordum Fatma ile,
'Pelin hanim abla gel otur' bagirdim, gordu beni ve gelmedi ve cekti

Simdi
Pelin Hanim Ayda'nin yaninda tatil yapiyor, ben arayip Ayda'nin sesini
bile duymak istemiyorum. Biliyormusun o da ne yapti. Yani Ben abiyim
ya, saygi sevgi dedik ya. Kiz buraya geldi ve tam 14 gun sonra evet
yanlis okumadin, tam 14 gun sonra beni gormeye geldi is yerimde.
Soruyorum, Ben ona birseymi yaptim? Tabii onlar Pelin hanimdan duyarlarya hikayeyi, kotu olan ben oluyorum.
Ama
simdi Ayda'ya sorsan 'niye onceden gitmedin?' onlar akilliya, Pelin'in
arkadasiya nede olsa, der 'Ben gittim evlerine ama kimse yoktu'.
Telefon et o zaman.
Olmazmi?
Yani Zehra abla, Ben ona birseymi yaptim, Fatma ona birseymi yapti, niye aramaz kizi.
Yani
buraya gelirsin ve tam 14 gun sonra yanima gelirsin, gelme daha iyi.
Ama bir kac gun once uzun bir email yazdi vallahi iki satirini okudum
ve gerisini okumadan. 'Delete' bastim.
Ama para lazim olsaydi hemen ararlardi. Bu insanlar kadar hayirsiz insan tanimam.
Herneyse,
burdayken gelmez evime, Zonguldak'a gider ve telefon etmemi bekler.
Tabiiki hatalarindan simdi ici yaniyor. Kadin gecinmesini ogrensin,
yoksa hayirsiz kizlarinin gitme gelmelerine kalicak.
Aramam
Ben, kendi gitsin parasina kiysin ve arasin. Ben kimsenin sesini
duymak istemiyorum. Hepsi gelsin elimi opsun ozur dilesin ve sonra
ararim. Valla saka yapmiyorum. Ogrensinler artislik yapmamayi.
Canini siktim, vallahi daha ne yazarim ama son 2 saatte aklima gelenler bunlar.

Madrid's in Lisbon
Madrid's in Lisbon
Today,
is the UEFA European Champions League Final, between Athletico Madrid
versus Real Madrid. Amazing to see two teams from the same city make it
all the way to the finals. This final will be played in the neighbour
country of Portugal's capital city of Lisbon.
I'm very much impressed at the journey of these two teams, to make to the 'bitter end'.
May it be a good game, and let the better team win today.
I'm waiting for the game to begin, and wanted to post this blog.
Here's comes kickoff.

USA Land Size
USA Land Size
I came by the following information and wanted to share this today, as I found it to be important to know.
Briefly, I wanted to know how USA increased the land size.
Do you know which territories and/or states were part of America prior to 1830? You might have an idea, I understand this.
Now, add the following states of:
New Mexico,
Arizona,
Utah,
Nevada, and
California
to America's size, as USA won the Mexican-American War, which occurred on the dates of 1846 to 1848.
Also, the modern state of Texas was created partly from the Republic of Texas, which had won independence from Mexico in 1836 and became a state in 1845; and partly from land ceded by Mexico in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, after the Mexican-American War.
As we can understand, USA increased the land size dramatically around year of 1850.
I found this topic to be very interesting, and wanted to bring to your attention.

Ramazan Day 16
Ramazan Day 16
Today, I have fasted for 14 of the 16 days. It was difficult at times to not eat / drink from 'sun up' to 'sun down', however, I was given strength to keep at my 'fast' and conclude it properly, each day.
We are now half way to the end of the 'holy' month of Ramazan; we 'Turks' call this month Ramazan, however, our Muslim brethren from the Middleaest call this month 'Ramadan'. It is a simple change in translation, but the meaning is the same.
'Ramazan' is the month of 'Awareness' as I like to describe this. It is a time of valuing our actions. The items we tend to not 'give to much thought too', which are basically the food we eat. Also, the interactions we have with the people around us needs to be respectful at all times.
I will not write further, as some research on the 'Net' will give you further information on this month, which is called the 'King of all the other months'.
It really is a spiritual month, for me. I have 14 days to 'Fast' before being rewarded the daily simple things I seldom gave second thought too; an example of this is a cup of coffee, drank any time during the day. Looking forward to this.
May all of us, find our kingdom...

Grandin Court Downtown
Grandin Court Downtown
Sincerely,
Grandin Court is a condominium complex located in downtown Edmonton. It is a 'walk-up' wood constructed, four story building.
There are approximately 50 units available, and the prices range from $250,000 to $400,000, in today's value.
Today is July 30, 2014.
The location of the complex might be in my opinion, at the best liveable spot, if you are looking to work and live in 'downtown'.
It is in a quiet spot of busy downtown.
The address of 'Grandin Court' is 9828-112 Street.
I live here now and work on jasper avenue and 97 Street.
It takes me 30 minutes to walk to work now, instead of driving for a minimum of 30 minutes per day.
My recommendation to everyone is that, if able, try to live and work in close proximity, to save on time. Particularly 'downtown' living has considerable amount of benefits, which I will write in detail, in another blog.
For now, I would like to focus on the beautiful complex of 'Grandin Court'. It is a nice place to call 'home'. And I do recommend living in this complex, particularly buying in here.
Thank you for visiting, leave a comment, if you have time.

Ah Bu Masonlar
Ah Bu Masonlar
Ilk once 'Hulki Cevizoglu'nun Masonluk hakkındaki kitabini okumanizi tavsiye ederim. Masonlar sir tutmasini bilen ve cok siki agizlidirlar; 'ser verip sır vermezler'.
Mason, orgut gibi bir seydir. Ama elbette belli bir amaclari vardir. Devamli kendi aralarında toplantılar yaparlar, ve elbette toplantıları sırdir. Masonlar davet ile uye kabul ediyorlar.
Bazi tanimlara gore Masonlar, okumus, aydin, ve toplumun egitimli tabakasını olusturur.
Masonlar, belli bir 'yas' seviyesine ulasmalari lazim, bu yas 30'dur. Boyle bir kiriter olmazi sart. Bir insan okumus olabilmesi lazim ve olgun ve aydin goruslerini anlatabilmeleri icin ve topluma yon verebilmesi icin bir seviyeye ulasmasi elbette sart.
Soyle, 'basic' Masonlar hakkinda kisa bir bilgi veriyim dedim bugun, yakinda uzunca yazicagim.
Tesekkurler,
