INVESTORS GUIDE TURKEY

I just had a few things arrive through the mail and your looking at one of the items, which is my business card. Having these cards will just make life easier, without having to explain my story repeatedly that incites jealousy within the majority of other travelers. I can just hand out my card that points in the direction of my blog. In addition, I received a sweet, little nine inch, Native American Flute that is keyed to A minor and made from cedar. This little flute will be ideal to carry, a

Jump to the full entry & travel map Istanbul, Turkey Sometimes I think it might be nice just to pay the extra and let a tour guide take care of everything. This time our luggage didn’t show up for the first three days in Istanbul. We walked the streets ragged and dirty, prey to every enterprising rip-off artist. A nickel here, a dime there, it doesn’t matter. They even try to do it on behalf of their government, charging you a little bit extra to ride the public transit system. In Istanbu

So I’ve been thinking about my business, lately, what with the economy and everything. And I realized: I’m an idiot. You know that story about the end of the ham or turkey or something, and the daughter asks the mother why they always cut off the end before they put it in the oven? And then the mother says because that’s the way grandma did it, and then they ask grandma, and grandma says she cut off the end because the pan was too short? Well, about ten or so years ago, I had to convince the

by Stephen Lendman / July 16th, 2008 Fresh water is precious everywhere but especially in one of the driest, hottest places on earth: the Middle East. Water is a strategic resource and the reason countries like Israel do everything possible to secure a reliable supply. In the words of former prime minister Moshe Sharett: “Water to us is life itself.” It shapes Israeli policy going back to the early Mandate period. A Brief History Post-WW I, Zionists wanted the Sykes-Picot borders altered to

McCain Uses Funding Tricks to Collect Up To $70K Per Person from Donors and Evade Public Financing Controls While Collecting Tax Payer Money for His Campaign 07-17-08 11:34 A GMT-08 The supposedly clean campaign of John McCain (remember how often they tell us how he co-sponsored campaign finance reform?) has a new scheme to get huge donations from his supporters, legally. Campaign finance reform, indeed. But not for the better. Excerpt WSJ report “McCain Uses Fund to Raise $62.3 Million”: Sen

She slings her duffle bag over her shoulder and opens the front door. Out of the corner of my eye I see her. I hold up one finger – wait – while I wrap up the call with my mother-in-law. Before I even speak to her, I know: she is leaving home. Again. “Why are you going?” I ask, trying not to let my pain seep into my voice. “I can’t – I can’t breathe here. Half the time you ignore me, and the other half you’re yelling at me.” I think back two days to the lovely afternoon we spent, the jokes a

It would seem that Coke should be a good indicator of how the economy is going. If there is one thing that a person could cut back on without any impact it would be sugar water. On the other hand in tough times perhaps a cheap indulgence like a Coke is one of the last things to go. So, I don’t know what to make of their latest earnings report, except to say that they can certainly do a good job of obscuring what is going on: The Coca-Cola Company today reported second quarter earnings per sh
