Thanks a lot you two!! Seems that out of 30 pages the only paragraph i didnt understand was the clue to the whole point

 Oh thats good. I drink coffee with cinnamon in it twice a day.

And I hope you don´t mean this seriously. If you do, google the word ´virus´ and see how a virus spreads

Reminds me of a turkish journalist saying in a column ´Im not afraid of the Swine flu, let those who eat pork worry about it´. Wasnt sure if I should laugh or cry about this ignorance.

Could somebody translate this paragraph? I have to study this article for my exam tomorrow, but not sure if i understand it well. You dont have to make a perfect translation, it would be fine to explain what it says. Its about the character of the single party rule in the early republicn period, and after this paragraph it will tell about the milli şef period of İnönü. REALLY APPRECİATED

Diğer yandan, Anayasaya göre, cumhurbaşkanının mecliste her yıl kasım ayı başında, hükümetin geçen yılki çalışmaları ve gelecek yıl için alınması gereken kararlar ve önlemler konusunda bir söylev vermesi ya da bu söylevini başbakan okutturması, bu ilke ile çelişiyordu. Anayasaya göre, siyasî sorumluluğu olmayan cumhurbaşkanının söylevinin siyası dayanağı belirsizdi. Cumhurbaşkanı eğer söylevinde kişisel görüşlerini ifade ediyorsa, bu duruma, güçler birliği ilkesi gereğince, yasama yetkisinin ve yürütme erkinin toplandığı TBMMce seçilen cumhubaşkanının, meclise herhangi bir konuda görüş bildirmesi ya da öneri getirmesi düşünülemezdi. Eğer cumhurbaşkanı, söylevinde, hükümetin, yani iktidar partisinin etkinliklerinden ve gelecekle ilgili siyası karar ve düşüncelerinden söz ediyorsa, bu halde de, hükümetin etkinliklerinden dolayı siyasi sorumluluğu olmayan cumhurbaşkanının söylevinin, esas itibariyle, hükümetin görüş ve önerileri doğrultusunda hazırlanmış  siyası birmetin olması kaçınılmazdı. Siyasi bakımdan sorun yaratabilecek ve anayasal bakımdan da açıkça çelişkili olan bu durum, Tek Parti yönetimi boyunca açığa çıkmadı. Çün kü, bu dönemde cumhurbaşkanları, aynı zamanda, iktidar partisinin Değişmez genel başkanı idiler.

 I don´t see the need for vaccination for myself, especially since im not in the risk groups. What I did since the virus came to Ankara: eating healthier, more fruits and vegetables for my resistance against the flu to rise, I desinfect my hands on each occassion, put on a scarf around my mouth and nose when Im in public transport (and try to sit in the back of the dolmuş not to touch everyone´s coins ) and I stay away from people who are ill. Not much more you can do!

I dont want to trivialize the danger of the swine flu, but people die of flu every year (and though this has effected more younger generations than any other kind of flu, the death rate is similar!) and when you look at the victims in Turkey, half of them had chronic diseases. they may not have been severly ill or have a serious health problem, but as soon as your immunity system has some defects or has to fight other things in your body, you can only guess what the virus will do... the same thing any other virus would.

 Yessss But still, my gravy isnt my mom´s gravy

But you are more than welcome to come

Thanks Once I found it I will give the dutch recipe for kara lahana with potato Though it is officially eaten with pork sausage, dutch köfte will do the trick.

I always thought that this was specifically Dutch (boerenkool) but on Wikipedia it says it is the basic nourishment of the East Black Sea region. Does anyone know where I can buy this?

 Are you a Turkish Teacher who teaches Turkish to foreigners but cannot understand a simple ´WRITE İN ENGLİSH PLEASE´. Many members would really appreciate the effort of translating your posts.

Could you please stop writing your arguments in Turkish and translate the posts you have already written in TUrkish? Thank you.

SUCKS! Its like a BAAAAAD mixture between the Bible and Titanic. It´s a film to be seen in cinema because of its effects, but seriously, don´t waste your money. I went there about a week ago and I regretted wasting my time on this. Its 2 hours of exegarated (aaargh) bullshit and bad acting.

Was nice to see Amanda Peet again though, I had totally forgotten about the series Jack & Jill I used to watch. Maybe I forgot because it only aired for about 2 seasons.
