<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Thanks to Julia, Lauren and Jenn for the good discussion this morning.  With the unforeseeable demise of our coffee shop, we moved to the outdoor Dunkin&#8217; Donuts populated with students, sunshine and the radio.  Hopefully next time we can secure a place with less distractions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71" title="dunkindonuts" src="http://kitschcamp.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/dunkindonuts1.jpg" alt="dunkindonuts" width="400" height="266" />I guess it makes sense in a way to be talking about deliciousness and kitsch in the Dunkin&#8217; Donuts.  I am so glad to have Lauren and Jenn join in on the discussion because it brings multiple perspectives and I believe our text to be related to all of our artworks.  I am a little sad to have finished the discussion of Harris&#8217; book.  I really love this text and I think that it is very influential to me.  I enjoyed our discussion of bathing today as related to Harris&#8217; chapter on cleanness.  The sexuality of the bath as a preparation for sexual acts in old advertising transforms into the bath as a place of escape from the hectic world of the modern woman.  &#8220;You deserve it!&#8221;  &#8220;Calgon, Take me away!&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72" title="3952216088_cf257d6de0" src="http://kitschcamp.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/3952216088_cf257d6de0.jpg" alt="3952216088_cf257d6de0" width="400" height="266" />The trend in advertising to acknowledge the distrust of the consumer is something that we discussed through the example of the Dove commercials now circulating the claim of showcasing real beauty.  We talked about the dual ad for Dove and Wal-Mart that uses the &#8220;Ears hang low&#8221;song which lead into the interesting topic of the real or authentic.  From there we got into a discussion of modernism versus relational aesthetics.  All in all I think it was a good ending for our discussion of Harris&#8217; book.  I think that the ideas and aesthetics in this book will stick with me.  I know that I will return to it and relate it to future readings.  We have decided to take a break next week and then return to discuss texts by Adorno and Greenberg.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Temizleme işi sanıldığı kadar basit değildir. Bir mendilin bile yıkanmasında hayli karışık kimyasal ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone" title="arap sabunu" src="http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/8373/400buyuk.jpg" alt="" width="345" height="223" /></p>
<p><strong>Temizleme işi sanıldığı kadar basit</strong><br />
değildir. Bir mendilin bile yıkanmasında hayli karışık kimyasal ve elektriksel<br />
olaylar olur. insanlar binlerce yıl temizlik işlerinde sabun kullandılar.<br />
Sabunun ana maddeleri de hep aynı kaldı. Her sabun bir alkali madde ile değişik<br />
türde bir yağın karışımıdır.</p>
<p>Sabun suda çökelme yapar, lavaboda, küvette halka şeklinde lekeler bırakır.<br />
Sabunla yıkanan bardak ve tabaklarda lekeler oluşur. Sabunla yıkanmış giysiler<br />
ütülenilirlerken sarı lekeler meydana gelir. Sabunun bu olumsuz sonuçlarının<br />
sebebi, suda tabii olarak mevcut olan mineral ve asitlerle reaksiyona girince<br />
çözülmesi ve suyla akıp gitmesi zor moleküller oluşturmasıdır.</p>
<p>Sabun temizlemeyi sadece yumuşak sularla yapabilir. Kullanma suları ise kalsiyum<br />
ve magnezyum tuzları ihtiva eden sert sulardır. Sabun sert suda kesilir. Sert su<br />
sabunlanınca dokunmuş kumaşa sıkı sıkı yapışan bir birikinti bırakır. Böylece<br />
sabunun da bir kısmı bir işe yaramadan ziyan olmuş olur. Deterjanlar hem sert<br />
hem de yumuşak suda yıkama özelliğine sahiptirler. Deterjan kelimesi Latince<br />
temizlemek anlamına gelen ‘detergere’den gelir.</p>
<p>Deterjanın ortaya çıkışının temel sebebi ise sabunun temizlemedeki olumsuz<br />
Özelliği ve yetersizliği değildir. Sabun doğal olarak yağlardan hazırlanır. Bu<br />
insanın besin kaynağının yanlış bir şekilde tüketimi demektir. Sentetik deterjan<br />
ise petrolden ve kömürden yapılır.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="arap sabunu" src="http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/9099/arap20sabunu202020kg20p.jpg" alt="" width="295" height="349" /></p>
<p>1890′larda üzerinde çalışılmaya başlanılan deterjanların yoğun bir şekilde<br />
kullanımına II. Dünya Savaşı sırasında başlanılmıştır. Bu zamanlarda deterjana<br />
duyulan ihtiyaç temizlemedeki üstün özelliklerinden dolayı değil, sabun<br />
yapımında kullanılan yağların, askeri araç ve silahlarda yağlama yağı olarak<br />
kullanılmasına duyulan ihtiyaçtır.</p>
<p>Deterjanın moleküler yapısı ve temizleme prensibi sabunla aynıdır. Sabun gibi<br />
kirleri, yağ lekelerini ve katı parçacıkları sökerek bunların suda asılı durumda<br />
tutulmalarını sağlar. Ancak deterjan sabunun yaptığı her işi yapabilirken sabun<br />
birçok kullanım alanında deterjanın yerini alamaz. Deterjanın ıslatma ve<br />
etkileme kapasitesi sabundan üstün olduğu gibi daha az miktarla aynı işi<br />
yapabildiğinden daha da ekonomiktir.</p>
<p>Deterjanın temel özelliği suyun yüzey gerilimini azaltarak, temizlenecek<br />
nesnenin içine iyice girmesini sağlamasıdır. Böylece katı parçacıkların ve<br />
yağların oldukları yerlerden çıkmalarını kolaylaştırır. Onların yeniden<br />
çökmelerini Önler. İçindeki kimyasal maddeler sayesinde yağ ve katı kirden daha<br />
zor temizlenen ter ve kan lekelerini bile temizler.</p>
<p>Deterjan suyun sertliğinden de etkilenmez. Asitli ortamlarda bile etkilidir.<br />
Petro-kimya ürünlerinden yapılan deterjanın içinde ayrıca elyaf koruyucu ve<br />
dağıtıcı maddeler, esanslar, boyayıcı ve beyazlatıcı maddeler, cilt koruyucu<br />
kozmetikler ile kullanım yerine uygun çeşitli katkı maddeleri vardır.</p>
<p>Deterjanın en önemli özelliklerinden biri köpüklenme gücüdür. Sert sularda bile<br />
kolayca köpürür. Ne var ki bu özelliğin bir de olumsuz yanı vardır. Atık<br />
sulardaki deterjan köpükleri arıtma tesislerinde ayrıştırılmazlar. Bu suların<br />
akıtıldığı akarsu ve denizlerde kirlenmeye neden olurlar. Bunun için artık<br />
‘yumuşak deterjan’ denilen, bileşenlerine kolayca ayrışabilen deterjanlar<br />
üretilmektedir.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Right now, this is how I feel about my car&#8230;</p>
<p>If you started following my blog back in May, you&#8217;re probably aware of my bad luck with cars.</p>
<p>One of the high points of moving back to New York City is that I will no longer need my car. But, putting the Saturn up for sale requires a title.</p>
<p>Which I don&#8217;t have. Which I may never have had.</p>
<p>When I found myself in this sorry predicament back in July, I immediately downloaded the DMV form, filled it out, and mailed it to Sacramento along with a check for $33.00.</p>
<p>Three weeks later, the DMV sent the form back to me with a letter attached, asking for another check in the amount of $15.00 for some sort of transfer fee. I complied.</p>
<p>Three weeks after that (on September 4th &#8212; the Friday before Labor Day weekend and a bad luck day for anyone transacting business with the State), I received my form back<em> again</em> with still another letter attached.</p>
<p>This time they were asking for a copy of the letter sent to me by GMAC, affirming that my loan had been paid off.</p>
<p>Luckily, I still had it in my files. But because it was the Friday before a holiday weekend, and because the mail hadn&#8217;t arrived until 4:00 p.m., I was unable to make a xerox copy of the letter before mailing it out.</p>
<p>Desperate, I sent the original letter to the DMV, and also scribbled a heartfelt note on their letter, complete with the requisite smiley faces, asking if they could <em>pul-lease</em> expedite the processing of it because I was moving out of state.</p>
<p>I knew they&#8217;d ignore my plea. They are, after all, the DMV.</p>
<p>But, hoping against hope, and given that their responses to me in the past had arrived in three-week increments, I figured that if they&#8217;d set the bar to their habitual &#8220;low,&#8221; I could expect to receive the title this week.</p>
<p>Sadly, the three week anniversary of my last correspondence with them will fall exactly on September 25 &#8212; the very same day I&#8217;d instructed the post office, one month ago, to begin forwarding our mail to New York.</p>
<p>Bad karma strikes again.</p>
<p>To make matters even worse, I have a buyer for the car. Normally, this would be a cause for celebration &#8211; if I had the title.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-8681" href="http://theninthhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/bad-car-ma/arnold-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8681" title="arnold" src="http://theninthhouse.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/arnold1.jpg" alt="arnold" width="164" height="250" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I blame him!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">There have been so many cuts to the CA budget that the woefully understaffed DMV, which already runs on molasses, seems to have shifted into reverse.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Considering the fate that befell my Subaru right before I moved to CA (as documented this past July in Part 15 of my car saga)&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-8716" href="http://theninthhouse.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/bad-car-ma/yogi/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8716" title="yogi" src="http://theninthhouse.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/yogi.jpg" alt="yogi" width="202" height="250" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8230;this is like &#8220;deja vu all over again.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This morning, an encouraging email from my cousin helped to put me in a more optimistic frame of mind. She believes that the title will arrive just when I need it because, sometimes, life just happens that way.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Keeping that in mind, and in consideration of the potential new owner, I drove to Pep Boys to get the crummy windshield wipers replaced.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The mechanic substituted the pair I&#8217;d just bought with the pair already on the car. He also straightened out the bent wiper arm with pliers, as I&#8217;d asked him to. In the process of doing that, the wiper arm accidentally slipped from his fingertips and snapped hard against the windshield.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It wasn&#8217;t until I was miles away from Pep Boys that I&#8217;d discovered the damage to the windshield. It looked as though it&#8217;d been hit by a rock.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Remember that old T.V. commercial: Calgon, take me away!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">That&#8217;s what I feel like.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>After hours of meetings with no breaks and no food&#8230; I am beginning to think that the Classic commercial for Calgon was on to something.  Here is the commercial for your viewing pleasure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvE65VOcAL0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvE65VOcAL0</a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget this one small rule that my Gram told me long ago&#8230; If you don&#8217;t take care of yourself, how can you take care of anyone else?</p>
<p>Take time for you.  Breathe deeply when you can.  Grab a healthy snack.  Exercise.  All good advice.  For me, the Calgon line has stuck the best!</p>
<p>Happy selling,</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was reading an article on-line this morning about women and stress.  It was discussing how women react differently to stress than men do.  The article also said that women tend to gain weight because of stressful family or personal situations more frequently than men do, especially if they are already overweight.  I was curious about this because I, like most people,  feel stressed out sometimes and I was curious as to what us girls can do to get a grip on on things.  Here are the suggestions outlined by the article I read:</p>
<ul>
<li> &#8221;Become aware of the stressors in our lives&#8221;.  (Okay, but then what?  Can we just send them to the Polar Ice Cap?  Or how about to the moon? ) </li>
<li>Exercise.  YAY!  Now we&#8217;re talking!  The best &#8220;therapy&#8221; on the face of the earth.  I&#8217;m a big fan. </li>
<li> Adopt some sort of meditation, deep breathing or yoga into your routine.  Okay&#8230;I&#8217;m all over that one, too.</li>
<li> The 4th suggestion was a tricky one for me.  It suggested to &#8220;get enough sleep&#8221;, which usually means 7-8 hours of sleep per night.  I know I am seriously deficient in this one and it needs to be my new goal, even though I haven&#8217;t the foggiest idea how I am ever going to accomplish this living with 3 nocturnal beings that keep me up a lot at night.  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  </li>
<li> The next stress-buster was to &#8220;seek therapy or counseling if necessary&#8221;.  It might be&#8230;I&#8217;m taking notes.</li>
<li> The last item on the list was to &#8220;take a multi-vitamin&#8221; daily.  I mean to do this, I swear&#8230;I usually forget.  But it seems like an easy enough thing to do, so why not?  I need to try harder to remember the easy stuff.</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay, so those are the &#8220;scientifically proven&#8221; methods of stress relief, but I have a few other Laurie-tricks that I will add to the STRESS-DETOX.  This is NOT proven methodology and it may not work for you.  I have no scientific evidence to back up my theories at all.  It&#8217;s just  my basic common sense &#8220;Laur-logic&#8221; that has rarely failed me, so I am throwing it out there for what it&#8217;s worth. </p>
<p>Of course, my favorite item on the &#8220;dealing with stress&#8221; list was exercise and I can attest that it does work.  What was MISSING from the author&#8217;s suggestion was the &#8220;I&#8217;m mad as hell playlist&#8221; to go along with the exercise.  I have a playlist on my iPod designed for just such occasions.  Used in combination with a good run this usually will purge most of my demons and by the time I come home, I am practically angelic again.  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   It works great and I use it regularly.  If my kids only knew how much this tip spared them&#8230;they would probably be pushing me and my sneakers out the door!</p>
<p>I know a lot of friends who regularly practice RETAIL THERAPY.  I know that sometimes there is nothing better than a new handbag to ease ones stress, but in these financially challenging times, I am not a fan&#8230;in fact, RETAIL  THERAPY may eventually result in more stress when those bills start rolling in, so I am avoiding this one.  If you can afford it, go for it, but as for me, I am keeping the plastic &#8220;in&#8221; my wallet. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t underestimate the power of journaling.  I have found that sitting down and putting my thoughts on paper is very cathartic (wow, there&#8217;s a big surprise!) and I do it pretty regularly.  It&#8217;s amazing how writing things down adds clarity that sometimes thought processes alone don&#8217;t.  Lists of Pro&#8217;s vs. Con&#8217;s are good, too if you are torn between 2 things, which seems to be a frequent dilemma that I face. </p>
<p>Other than &#8220;RAGE PLAYLISTS&#8221; music can be used effectively in other ways, too.  I will turn on my favorite songs to soothe, calm, and quiet my mind.   Sometimes just being in a dark room with the right music will work.  A hot bubble bath in a dimly lit bathroom with the right music can really turn your day around.  Add candles and it&#8217;s almost indulgent.  It&#8217;s one of my favorite stress relief tactics.  I think those old &#8220;Calgon take me away!&#8221; commercials were on to something.  I&#8217;m a fan!</p>
<p>All in all, there&#8217;s not much you can do to get all the stress out of your life, it&#8217;s always going to be there.  Having some &#8220;go-t0&#8243; strategies in your back pocket to deal with the bad days can be crucial.  If all else fails, you can use one of my &#8221;never-fail&#8221; plans and that is to call a really good friend and go cry yourself silly over a glass of wine.  That works, too!  <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

<description><![CDATA[kendimi bilmemle, özel televizyonların ortaya çıkışı arasındaki ince ilişki ışığında, garip şeyleri ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">kendimi bilmemle, özel televizyonların ortaya çıkışı arasındaki ince ilişki ışığında, garip şeyleri merak etme, bir bilgi çağı çocuğu olma, hevesi, özentiliği damgaladı beni. anlatamam. trt&#8217;nin istiklal marşlı dönemlerine her ne kadar yetişememiş olsakta, cenk koray&#8217;ın -hangisi olduğunu hatırlamadığım programında- televizyonun kenarından kestirmeye çalıştığı kuponu gördük çok şükür.</p>
<p>arkasından &#8220;dur ikazına ateşle karşılık vermek&#8221; deyimi aldı gitti beni. dur ikazına ateşle karşılık vermek&#8230; neden ki? bilemiyorum. belki de anayasanın ilga edilen bir hükmü neden olmuştu. ama çok da alakadar etmiyordu beni açıkcası. sonraları trt fm&#8217;in teröristler için yaptığı bir çağrı vardı ki, hoştur.<br />
&#8220;<em>annenin tereyağlı pilavını özlemedin mi</em>?&#8221; cümlesi vurucu kısım olacak ki aklımda kalmış.<br />
işte bu üst paragrafta bahsettiğim annesinin tereyağlı pilavını özleyen eli kanlı teröristlerin,  her yakalanışında,  bu özel televizyonlar beni güldürmeye başladılar. zira bu özel televizyonlar operasyonu yapan emniyet birimini hrezaman ziyaret etmişlerdir ve nedense bu emniyet birimi hadi gidin bi işinize dememiştir.</p>
<p>&#8220;x kırsalında güvenlik kuvvetlerinin dur ihtarına, ateşle karşılık veren bir grup yasadışı terör örgütü üyesi, yaşanan çatışma sonucunda ölü olarak ele geçirildi.&#8221; evet yapılan haber kesinlikle buydu; görüntüde; beyaz bir masa üzerine teröristlerden ele geçirilen mermilerle yazılmış bir yazı&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;t.c. x emniyet müdürlüğü terörle mücadele&#8221;</p>
<p>yahu dünyanın hangi ülkesinde, hangi emniyet birimi, yakaladığı suç aletini, silahı, uyuşturucuyu vs. sergileme gereği duyar? hayır anlayamadığım bu fikir nasıl ortaya çıkmış? yani x kadar pkk&#8217;lıyı y kırsalında yakaladık. tamam çok güzel.</p>
<p>ama silahlarını neden sergiliyoruz? hadi sergiledik diyelim, niye kurum kuruluş adı yazıyoruz?  ilginç bi ülke yahu burası. daha da ilginç olan harflerin hiçbir zaman eksik kalmamasıdır aslında. misal; ben hiç eksik kalan yazı görmedim.</p>
<p>bu masa üzerine mermilerle yazıların yazıldığı haber bültenlerini esen kalarak bitirdikten sonra, reyting ölçümleri yapıldı bizde izledik. orada da bir ab grubu vardı tanışamadık hiç. neyse.</p>
<p>tatlı olarak ne alırdık? reklamlar değil mi? daha doğrusu <strong>calgon</strong>. <em>küçüklüğümle ilgili en büyük merak konularımdan birisidir</em>. evet. x deterjanı harika yıkıyor. calgon ise çamaşır makinesinin ömrünü uzatıyor. bir takım bilimadamlarıda bunları test ediyor. bilim adamı? evet bu televizyon denen alet bilimadamı dedi geçti. hepinizde <em>isviçreli bilimadamı</em> dediniz geyiğini yaptınız. ama ben nedense bu bilimadamlarının ihtisasını merak ettim&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="http://retroyakking.today.com/files/2009/04/calgon_half_a_helmet.jpg" src="http://retroyakking.today.com/files/2009/04/calgon_half_a_helmet.jpg" alt="" width="304" height="243" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p> yani bu deterjanla ilgili deneyi yapan herifler -ki bilimadamıymış, ki üstteki resimde bir örneği mevcut, ki muslukçuya benziyor&#8211; makine mühendisi mi? tekstil mühendisi mi? yoksa kimyager mi? yani hangi üniversite hangi bölüm? <em>yoksa ev hanımlarınında katıldığı gizli bir konsey mi var</em>? merak ediyorum ulsn, bu yaşıma geldim bir türlü öğrenemedim.</p>
<p><em>bu mermi olayıyla polislikten, calgon reklamıyla bilimadamlığından soğudum. bizimkiler adlı diziyle ise apartman yöneticiliğini sildim kafamdan.<br />
</em><br />
hoş, sonraları krizleri duyduk bu özel televizyonlardan.</p>
<p>bu kriz haberleriyle birlikte pederin işsiz kalmasının bir sonucu olarak adam olma gerekliliği ortaya çıktı. çıkmaz olaydı. naparsın? o günlerle ilgili en silinmez anım, bizim pederin hergün giydiği sarı gömlek&#8230; unutmadan bir de koluna zift döktükten sonra, parasızlıktan taksiye binemeyip yürüyerek hastaneye gidişimiz var. gülüyorum şimdi. ama bizim peder üzülmüştür oğlana 1 milyar para verip de tatile git diyemediğine&#8230; ben de üzülmüşümdür ama, o paraları alıp barlarda çatır çatır yiyemediğime. arada bu özel üniversitelerde okuyanların arabalarıyla okula geldiklerini görüp üzülmüşlüğümde olmuştur. <strong>yok</strong>. kendim için değil&#8230; bu konuşması garip olan insanlar için.</p>
<p>işte bu adam olma gerekliliğinin ortaya çıkışıyla cikslik kavramının ortaya çıkışı aynı döneme denk gelir. <em>ciks</em>? hani şu son dönemde poşu moşu bağlamaya başladılar ya canım. onlar. hatta bunların cihangirde takılmayı çağdaşlık ilüzyonu olarak görenleride mevcut. daha da trajikomik olanı; bu poşu ciks işi olmadan evvel bunu takanları; hani şu x kırsalında yakalanan y kadar kişiden zannetmeleriydi. o zamanlar; &#8220;<em>niye takıyo ki lan bu bunu.. gidip sorucam</em>&#8220;  lafı cirit atıyordu piyasada. hahayt.</p>
<p>bu noktadaki en büyük merak noktam; bu bahsetteiğim ciks bozuntuları, modayı takip edenleri takip ettiklerini ne zaman anlayacaklardı? sanırım anlayamadılar.<br />
lanet olsun, zaten bende hiçbir zaman ciks olamadım. ben adam olmanın gerekliliğiyle, çok fazla sağda solda barlarda sürtemeden, ot-mot içemeden, üniversiteyi ilk senemde kazanıp, belki biraz da süper baba dizisinde; fikreti hapisten kurtaran o avukatın da etkisiyle, hukuk okumayı seçtim. tabii o zamanlar bu özel televizyonlar, <em>anayasa mahkemesi</em>nin artık güvenilmez bir kurum olduğunu ima da etmiyorlardı.</p>
<p>sonraları olay televizyon boyutundan çıkıverdi. <em>tolga abi</em>mize <strong>hugo</strong>&#8216;da ana avrat söven, elemanın artık bir yonjası vardı. allahım o nasıl bir site!? ulan hepiniz mi her hafta sonu <em>discorium</em>dasınız? hepinizin mi arabası var? hepinizin babası fabrikatör? anlayamadım. <em>ama sorsan yutta kalmamak için part-time çalışmak zorundaydılar.<br />
</em></p>
<p>tolga abiye küfreden çocuk -ki kaşardır kendisi-; bu noktada artık büyüdüğümüzü ve küfürün kötü birşey olduğunu bildiriyordu. ne denebilir ki? aklınca adam olmuştu, belki iki tane patlatmak lazımdı ama&#8230; olmadı işte&#8230; gözlerimin içine bakıp beni dövme dedi&#8230; yapamadım. -öyle de yufka yürekliyim-</p>
<p>ardından facebook geldi&#8230; hatta kekoyla dolması istenmiyordu. ama ben hala adam olmak zorundaydım. yediği o kadar çalımdan sonra, sırf şu şehirden kurtulmak için savcılığı bir deneyeyim dedikten sonra anneannesinin kerhaneci olduğunu öğrenmek, genç bir bünye için sarsıcı. belirtmek isterim.</p>
<p>avukat olma zorunluluğuyla ama yinede adam olabilecek olmanın sevinciyle yaşıyorum.</p>
<p>çok şükür; ciks, miks, kaşar, maşar olmadık. <em>hamdolsun böyle olanlar beni teğet geçti</em>. belkide o üniversiteye arabasıyla giden çocuklardan olsaydık farklı olurdu. yada <em>mimarlık</em> falan okusak.</p>
<p>bence herşey, <strong>süper baba</strong>nın son bölümündeki gibi olmalıydı ama&#8230;<br />
<em>fiko</em>: nihat, gitme deseydim, gitmeyecekti&#8230; gitme dersen gitmem dedi.<br />
<em>nihat</em>: sen ne dedin be fiko?<br />
<em>fiko</em>: diyemem nihat&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="http://img2.blogcu.com/images/e/s/i/esintilerdenizi/474878da29b35222140623c2eb2f808dac847cc5m.jpg" src="http://img2.blogcu.com/images/e/s/i/esintilerdenizi/474878da29b35222140623c2eb2f808dac847cc5m.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="450" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> hatırlıyorum, lacivert renault 12 ile havaalanına bir gidişi vardı fikonun. evlendi nitekim. <em>ama biz kime gitme desek</em>&#8230; <strong>gitti ulan gitti</strong>.</p>
<p>şimdi düşünüyorum da ben adam oldum kendimce. mutluyum. bir gün belki herkes adam olur, ümit ediyorum.</p>
<p>belki o zaman yemekhanelerde dana rostoyla şarapda verirler. ama biliyorum ki o şarabıda plastik bardakla verirler bu ülkede. lanet olsun lan. lanet olsun.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m working full-time away from home for the first time in 20 years. Prior to moving here to Hawaii, I worked from home freelance, because my daughter&#8217;s health required that I be ready to visit the hospital short-or long-term at any time.</p>
<p>Now, we both have the luxury of approximating a &#8220;normal&#8221; life for a while.  There are adjustments. </p>
<p>How in the world do you guys do it? </p>
<p>If I had horses now, I wonder if they would add to the burden or decrease it. </p>
<p>I especially would not be able to accomplish all that YOU do with any kind of presence or moment-to-moment mindfulness. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been doing: racing from one task to another after work, trying to get it all done before collapsing onto the sofa at eight or nine o&#8217;clock, and then desperately hoping that a second wind doesn&#8217;t come just at bedtime, ushering in a night of insomnia. </p>
<p>Multi-tasking is anathema to mindfulness. One thing at a time is the standard method of Buddhism. Pure-hearted focus and attention leaves the mind free to observe its own judgments of arriving and passing phenomena. If you multi-task, you&#8217;re on overload. </p>
<p>I would like to believe that the presence of horses and the tasks associated with caring for them would cause a mindful slowing of action and focusing of attention and affection that would alleviate some of the rushing around.  Who knows?  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m wondering: In your busy lives, how does caring for your horses, your families, and doing your jobs all fit into one life? What prevents it all from being too much? Do the horses help? Are there times when you wish someone else would just come and feed and muck? Or maybe feed your kids or husband and let you cry out, &#8220;Calgon, take me away!&#8221;?</p>

<p>Another day is passing</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">I&#8217;m home sick today doped up on Tylenol Cold pills with a cup of coffee and a box of tissues.  My head feels like it&#8217;s stuffed with cotton, so my mind can&#8217;t really comphrehend daytime television right now.  Morning radio isn&#8217;t much better.  I&#8217;m sick of hearing about the economy.  I&#8217;m sick of hearing about Chris Brown and Rihanna.  I&#8217;m sick of hearing about AIG bonuses and death threats.  Stock is down.  Interest rates are down. Gas is up. Murder rates are up.  If I had some Calgon, I don&#8217;t even think it could take me away.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I decided to dig through my CDs to find something I haven&#8217;t listened to in a long time.  Yes, CDs, remember those little round shiny disks we used to play.  They came out after cassette tapes.  Cassette Tapes?  Oh, I don&#8217;t think you were born yet.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G75ANO?tag=shanyarbauthp-20&#38;camp=0&#38;creative=0&#38;linkCode=as4&#38;creativeASIN=B000G75ANO&#38;adid=15EGB2BSNA6FRY7JYT4K&#38;" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-1120 alignright" title="women" src="http://recklesseyes.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/women.jpg" alt="women" width="240" height="240" /></a>Anyway, I came across <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000G75ANO?tag=shanyarbauthp-20&#38;camp=0&#38;creative=0&#38;linkCode=as4&#38;creativeASIN=B000G75ANO&#38;adid=13EPWQN465G7SR5ZZ443&#38;" target="_blank">Women &#38; Songs Volume 2</a> and decided to give it a listen.  What a nice collection of female favorites!  Madonna, Jewel, Kylie Monigue, Natasha Bedingfield, Lisa Loeb, Janet Jackson, Brandy, even KD Lang and more.  I was also thrilled to find more volumes in the collection.  I just may have to buy those too.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This CD is exactly what I needed today on this first day of Spring when my ears are ringing and my nose is stuffy.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Thank you, Enya!  Thank you, Donna Lewis.  Thank you, Sixpence None the Richer.  You&#8217;ve inspired me to at least write this post.  So, in times like these, what music inspires you?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://oyku.sezgiler.com/wp-content/uploads/beyaz_cicek.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" />Bu yazımda yakın arkadaşlarımın başından geçen iki olayı anlatmak istiyorum. Başlığımızdan da anlaşılacağı üzere konumuz ve çocuklar ve reklamlar. Çocukarımız daha önceki yazılarımızda da bahsettiğim gibi maalesef televizyon başında çok vakit geçiriyorlar. Bu konudaki yazımızı okumak için <a href="http://ensetirasi.wordpress.com/2008/12/19/cocuk-kanallari-faydali-mi-zararli-mi/" target="_blank">tıklayabilirsiniz.</a></p>
<p>Arkadaşım bir pazar günü 3,5 yaşında olan çocuğunu(Tahir)  da yanına alır ve market alışverişine çıkarlar.  Tahir&#8217;i arabaya<!--more--> oturtur ve marketde gezerlerken Tahir birden:Baba dur.</p>
<p>Baba:  Ne oldu oğlum</p>
<p>Tahir: Biraz geri git</p>
<p>Arkadaşım arabayı biraz geri çeker ve Tahir Calgonu göstererek bombayı patlatır: Makineler bozulunca lider makine üreticileri calgonu tavsiye ediyor&#8230; <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>İkinci olayımız da bir akrabamızın başından geçiyor. Kahramanımız yine 3,5 yaşında ve ismi Yahya. Yahya bir gün tuvalettedir. Tuvalet kağıdı olarak da papia kullanılmaktadır. Yahya tuvalette papia yı görür ve annesine bağırmaya başlar: Anneeee</p>
<p>Anne: Efendim yavrum</p>
<p>Yahya: Biz daha iyisine layığığız değil mi?</p>
<p>Anne: hgh??!!!   hayırıdır ne oldu.</p>
<p>Yahya: Anne papia kullanıyoruz ya <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Bu arada papianın sloganınında &#8220;Çünkü siz daha iyisine layıksınız&#8221; olduğunu hatırlatmama gerek yok sanırım. Görüldüğü gibi reklamlar amacına ulaşmış. Kitlelerin hafızalarına yer etmiş. Reklamlar ve filmler (Televizyon) yazılmaya hazır birer beyaz sayfa olan çocuklarımızın zihinlerine yazılmaya başlanmış. Burdan arkadaşım ve akrabam alınmasın hepimizin çocukları için durum aynen böyle. Dış etkilere korumasız olarak tamamen açıklar. En büyük tehlike de televizyon. Onları koruyalım&#8230; İnanıyorum ki televizyon izleyenlerin %90&#8242;ına izledikleri programlar bir fayda sağlamıyor. Televizyon izleme sürelerimizi mümkün olduğunca kısaltalım diyor ve selam ediyorum.</p>

<p>but want desperately!!!  I could totally use some detox right now.  I decided to try and drink all the white wine in the world last night.  Needless to say I failed and I feel fabulous right now.  Even writing &#8216;white wine&#8217; makes me want to throw up a little bit in my mouth.  I just wish someone would come and clean out the entire inside of my body&#8230;take a big scrub brush to it.  I feel like this happens at this time every year-by March I&#8217;ve been drinking heavily, eating heavily, and dressing heavily.  So this Forbes Traveler article about Yoga Vacations in amazing perfect and warm locations really hit the spot today.  Just listen to this!:</p>
<blockquote><p>From the yoga bar breakfast spread of fresh tropical fruit and juices, homemade granola, yogurt and other goodies to the verbena-scented cool towels handed to you after class, The Tides ensured a seamless retreat. Not to mention the in-room massages—the airy cabanas are so peaceful that when the massage therapist came to my room, he set up the table and aromatherapy candles, immediately transforming it into a treatment room.</p></blockquote>
<p>To quote Snoop Dog, Calgon take me away!!!</p>

<p>What am I gonna do as sung by UB40</p>
<p>I was in the kitchen last night when this fella appeared from under the washing machine! I was thinking of making my own advert: &#8216;washing machines last longer with frogs legs&#8217; similar to the calgon advert.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a depressing day. Dad is now confined to bed, I really don&#8217;t think he has long left. Mum is going to phone the hospital tomorrow and see how they will get him in for dialysis.  Lots of thoughts going around my head but none that I feel like typing.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p class="blogSubject">Lying Down in Green Pastures</p>
<p><!--  blog body  --></p>
<p class="blogContent"><span style="color:#660000;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Psalm 23:2-3  2He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.3He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name&#8217;s sake.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hmmm. I’m going to write this scripture down and carry it around with me. Lying down in tender green pastures beside still and restful waters, my soul being restored, that sounds even better than Calgon! This passage says He makes me lie down. To make someone do something means you force them to act. Doesn’t it seem amazing that God would have to force us to take a break? Sometimes life just gets so busy and we are running in a hundred different directions feeling frazzled, stressed out, drained and weary. (Maybe that’s just me?) It’s good to remember we serve a God who is concerned that our souls find a place of peace. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we stay focused on God, we will never lose that place of rest. It says in <span style="color:#660000;">Isaiah 26:3 You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.</span>  When we enter into His presence we walk out refreshed, renewed and restored. <span style="color:#660000;">Acts 3:19 </span>exhorts us <span style="color:#660000;">19Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.</span></strong></span>  Isn’t it funny that we try to find so many other ways to take a break? A morning free from the kids drinking coffee with your girlfriends may be a lot of fun, but won’t revive you like a few moments in the presence of God. An afternoon at the day spa may leave you feeling completely energized for a couple of hours, but a lifestyle of spending time with the Lord, fellowshipping and worshipping Him will leave you in a state of constant refreshment. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I challenge you to take your Shepherd up on His direction today. Take a few minutes to stop whatever you’re doing and get in His presence. Focus solely on Him. Worship him, praise him, get lost in His presence. Now do you feel refreshed? Allow him to restore your soul today!<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Seriously &#8211; where&#8217;d the happy cave go?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s MIA.</p>
<p>Maybe The Others have obsconded with it and the island it was hidden away on. Maybe Jack and Sayeed need to come rescue me. Ok, so no maybe to the rescue. I definitely need some rescuing.</p>
<p>As you know, Alli&#8217;s sick. This morning as I was trying to force her medicine into her (she won&#8217;t cooperate, I&#8217;ve tried every trick in the book too), she threw up. On me. On the bed. On her hair. Everywhere. Fun.</p>
<p>Charlotte is in this fantastic stage of non-compliance with household rules and lack of reaction to discipline. I have lost count of how many times I&#8217;ve had to haul her twin mattress back up onto her bed. This morning, she took her pull-up off even though there was poopy in it. Again, Fun. You know that point you get to when you&#8217;re so angry there&#8217;s nothing left to do but laugh? Yeah. I&#8217;m there. SO there. Where the hell is my Margarita? I WANT MY MARGARITA AND SOME FRIGGIN CALGON PEOPLE!</p>
<p>Cameron? Well, he&#8217;s the bright spot. He&#8217;s been doing great. We have a blast together. He started clapping the other day. I walked in and he was just laying there, staring at the ceiling and apparently clapping for the Amazing Ceiling Dust Fuzz Acrobatic team. He stopped and when I tried to get him to do it again he smacked his face. Repeatedly, while grinning. Silly baby. Thank HEAVEN for silly billy babies!</p>
<p>As I sit here writing this, I&#8217;m listening to the bam and boom of the girls tearing up their room. I will admit I&#8217;m still sitting here because I don&#8217;t want to go back there &#8211; I&#8217;m scared of what I might find and how pissed off it might make me. I need to shower for the Meet &#38; Greet tonight. I need to at LEAST get my make-up on because as soon as Chris gets home, I need to be walking out the door and will not have time to shower then. So much for planning on getting anything done during naptime. I hate that the house is a wreck but frankly I get run so ragged by the kids during the day that I don&#8217;t have time to straighten up. I&#8217;m lucky I can keep up with the basics.</p>
<p>Uh Oh.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re yelling now.</p>
<p>Perhaps I should go.</p>
<p>And perhaps you should pray.</p>
<p>And send Calgon.</p>
<p>And Margarita Mix.</p>
<p>And some Jose Cuervo.</p>
<p>Why are you still sitting there????</p>
