Tarihi bir film yaparken neden içine olur olmaz efektler, yaratıklar katarlar anlamıyorum. Ben bu kadar kötü bir yapımla karşılaşacağımı zannetmiyordum. Henüz izlememiş olanlarınız varsa paranızı çöpe atmayın derim =) Cüneyt'e de söylediğim gibi bir paket çekirdek alın Kordon'da denize nazır çıt çıt çıtlayın daha çok keyif alacaksınız :))) Yok illa ki ben merak ediyorum 300 Spartalı ne yapmış diyorsanız 1962 versiyonunu edinin. Ben onu 62 yapımı olduğunu bilmeden almıştım, başlayınca eski yapım oluşu heyecan vermez dedim ama yine de bu akşam izlediğimden daha sürükleyiciydi. Bu versiyonu da sadece teknolojinin nimetlerinden faydalanmış, bir şaheser yaratmışlardır umuduyla izledim.Hayal kırıklığı buna denir işte...

Kokopelli....
According to San Ildefonso legend,
Kokopelli was a wandering minstrel who carried songs on his back,
trading new songs for old ones.
According to this legend,
Kokopelli brought good luck and prosperity to anyone who listened to his songs. Kokopelli embodied everything pure and spiritual about music.
He and his magical flute traveled from village to village bestowing gifts
and spreading cheer to all whom he visited.
His flute was said to symbolize happiness and joy.
When he played his flute, the sun came out, the snow melted,
grass began to grow, birds began to sing, a
nd all the animals gathered around to hear his songs.
His flute music soothed the Earth and made it ready to receive his seed.
The magic of his flute was also thought to stimulate creativity and
help good dreams come true...


Let's Draw a Kokopelli for me ! ~~ Haydi benim için bir Kokopelli çiz !

Belki de senin çizimin yeni dövmeme ilham verecek...
Zaman ayırdığın için şimdiden teşekkürler :)

What is Love ?
The Oxford English dictionary describes love as: an intense feeling of deep fondness or affection for a person or thing and to fall in love as: to develop a great love for. This may well be a basic description of what love feels like, but why do we love, what is passion, and why is intense desire between two people sometimes called 'chemistry'?

There are, in fact, three distinct stages of love; each with their own characteristic emotional profile and scientific explanation.

First is lust. Lust is driven by our sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen. These hormones are what get us 'out on the pull'. After lust comes attraction. This is the love-struck phase; the time when we lose our appetite, can't sleep, and can't concentrate. This is what we know as falling in love.

When we fall in love, our palms sweat, we can stutter and become breathless, we can't think clearly and it feels like we have butterflies in our stomachs. This is all due to surging brain chemicals called monoamines. They are called dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin. Norepinephrine and serotonin excite us, while dopamine makes us feel happy. These love chemicals are controlled by a substance which is also found in chocolate and in strawberries, called PEA or phenylethylamine and it is PEA which controls the transition from lust to love. Similar in structure to amphetamine, PEA too gives us that excitement we crave. Indeed, some people become veritable love junkies. They need a constant love high and go through life in a series of short relationships which crumble when the initial chemical rush wanes. The love junky has another problem too. We naturally build up a tolerance to these chemicals eventually, so it takes more and more to produce that much sought after high. Love junkies, if they stay married, are likely to seek frequent affairs to fuel their need for the chemical love high.

The Chemical Bond
The third stage of love is attachment - staying together. Attachment takes over from the attraction stage and is the bond which keeps couples together. After all, we couldn't possibly stay in the attraction stage for ever - we would never get any work done for day dreaming. Two different hormones are important during this phase of love. They are oxytocin and vasopressin.

Oxytocin (the cuddling chemical) not only increases the bond between lovers, but is also one of the chemicals responsible for contractions during childbirth, milk expression when breastfeeding and is released by both sexes during orgasm. The theory goes therefore, that the more sex a couple have, the greater the bond between them. Nice touch Mother Nature.

Vasopressin is the monogamy chemical. Only about three percent of mammals are monogamous; mating and bonding with one partner for life. Unfortunately, humans are not one of these naturally monogamous animals. The prairie vole is however and it is this furry friend which is responsible for our knowledge about vasopressin.

By isolating male voles before and after mating, scientists found that life-long mating could be linked to the action of vasopressin. Before mating, the vole is friendly to male and female voles alike. Within 24 hours after mating, the male vole is hooked for life and defends his partner jealously. The post-coital production of vasopressin is responsible for this amorous behaviour. These little animals also indulge in far more sex than is actually necessary to reproduce and it was considered that the post-coital production of vasopressin (and oxytocin) was responsible for their strong partnership bonds. When given a compound to suppress the effect of vasopressin, the prairie voles lose their devotion to each other and the males fail to protect their ladies from the threat of other males. Perhaps, therefore, we could learn something from the prairie vole. Drop of vasopressin anybody?

Endorphins are also involved in the longevity of love. Endorphins have the same pain-killing and pleasure-delivering properties as their cousin, morphine, without the risk of overdose.

Choosing a Partner
Now, when it comes to choosing a partner, are we at the mercy of our subconscious or do we make a more conscious decision?

It is to our advantage to choose a partner with the best possible genes as these genes will be passed on to our children and ensure they are healthy. Therefore, we naturally seek out somebody with an immune system different to our own. Additionally, it is important to find a mate with whose genes are also similar enough to our own to confer a tried and tested immune system. Is this the reason we fancy those who remind us of our parents perhaps? When we are attracted to another person, it could be because we subconsciously like their genes.

Pheromones
How do we do this? We seek and sniff out Mr Right!
Imagine an invisible overwhelming force which overpowers reason and invites passion. A force which dictates where Cupid's arrow will land. Cupid's chemistry. That's the power of pheromones. Pheromones are 'smellprints', supposedly as unique as our fingerprints. Smell is the most primitive of human senses, and pheromones, present in underarm perspiration, are detected by a small organ composed of a few small pits a few centimetres up the nose. The emotional reaction they provoke can, quite literally, be a 'turn on'!

The Chemistry of LoveThere are a lot of chemicals racing around your brain and body when you're in love. Researchers are gradually learning more and more about the roles they play both when we are falling in love and when we're in long-term relationships. Of course, estrogen and testosterone play a role in the sex drive area (see How Sex Works). Without them, we might never venture into the "real love" arena.
That initial giddiness that comes when we're first falling in love includes a racing heart, flushed skin and sweaty palms. Researchers say this is due to the dopamine, norepinephrine and phenylethylamine we're releasing. Dopamine is thought to be the "pleasure chemical," producing a feeling of bliss. Norepinephrine is similar to adrenaline and produces the racing heart and excitement. According to Helen Fisher, anthropologist and well-known love researcher from Rutgers University, together these two chemicals produce elation, intense energy, sleeplessness, craving, loss of appetite and focused attention. She also says, "The human body releases the cocktail of love rapture only when certain conditions are met and ... men more readily produce it than women, because of their more visual nature."
Researchers are using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to watch people's brains when they look at a photograph of their object of affection. According to Helen Fisher, a well-known love researcher and an anthropologist at Rutgers University, what they see in those scans during that "crazed, can't-think-of-anything-but stage of romance" -- the attraction stage -- is the biological drive to focus on one person. The scans showed increased blood flow in areas of the brain with high concentrations of receptors for dopamine -- associated with states of euphoria, craving and addiction. High levels of dopamine are also associated with norepinephrine, which heightens attention, short-term memory, hyperactivity, sleeplessness and goal-oriented behavior. In other words, couples in this stage of love focus intently on the relationship and often on little else.
Another possible explanation for the intense focus and idealizing view that occurs in the attraction stage comes from researchers at University College London. They discovered that people in love have lower levels of serotonin and also that neural circuits associated with the way we assess others are suppressed. These lower serotonin levels are the same as those found in people with obsessive-compulsive disorders, possibly explaining why those in love "obsess" about their partner.

To perform the trick:
Take 21 cards and deal them out into three columns by dealing seven rows of three. Deal three cards across for the first row, then another card on top of each for the next row, and so on until you have seven rows of cards in three columns for a total of 21 cards. Make sure you deal out each of the rows so you can still see the cards behind it.
Now have someone think of any card in one of the columns, and then tell you which column the card is in. Pick up one of the other columns, then the column he chose, and then the last column, so that the column with the chosen card is between the other two.
Deal them out again the same as before, and have your volunteer tell you which column the card is now in. Again, pick up the cards so that the column he pointed to is between the other two.
Repeat the process of dealing out the cards, having him tell you which column his card is now in, and picking up the cards so that the column with his card is between the other two columns. You have now done this three times, and it's time to find his card!
Hold the cards face down in your hand, as if you were going to deal them out again, but instead ask your volunteer if he has ever heard the magic word ABRACADABRA. Say that not many people know it, but ABRACADABRA is a magic word for finding things, and that you'll show him what you mean.
Spell the word ABRACADABRA, and for each letter deal one of the cards face down on the table. When you reach the last "A", pause, and then turn over that card. It will be the chosen card! As long as you spell ABRACADABRA right, this trick will work everytime!

Few things impress people as much as seeing a well performed Magic Trick - especially when it is done without apparatus or preparation. Mentalism is one of the more impressive types of Magic Trick and the one I'm about to reveal is so easy to learn that you'll be performing it tomorrow! Or even tonight!

There are two important rules for learning Magic Tricks -

1. Practice before you perform. Get it right. Work out your patter and learn it off by heart.

2. NEVER tell your audience how it was done!

To learn this Magic Trick you only need to remember a few things and develop a 'patter'; a way to perform it.

You have an audience of at least six, preferably a dozen - though it could be performed for as many as you like - provided you can give them all paper and pencils. You tell them that you are going to project your thoughts into their minds.

They must write down the thought as soon as you tell them to - write down the first thing that comes into their head, without trying to think about it (transmitted thought is fragile and too much of their own brain activity will wipe it out).

"We'll start," you tell them, "with an easy one. Get ready to write it down ... a single digit number; a number between 1 and 9 - NOW!"

You write on your piece of paper; the number 7.

"Now we'll try a word. What I want you to write this time, is the name of ... a vegetable - NOW!"

You write on your piece of paper; the word CARROT.

"Another word. This time I want you to write down the name of ... an animal that lives in the jungle - NOW!"

You write on your piece of paper; the word LION. (Trust me; I know they don't live in the jungle, but this works!)

"Let's go back to numbers. This time it is a 2 digit number with two different digits (i.e. not 11 or 22). I want you to write down an odd number between ... 10 and 50 - NOW!"

You write on your piece of paper; the number 37

"OK. One more number. Again a 2 digit number, an even number with 2 different digits. I want you to write down an even number between ... 50 and 99 - NOW!"

You write on your piece of paper; the number 68.

When everyone has written their last number, you display your paper and get them to compare their answers. More than half the answers will match your 'prediction'.

Well, not everyone is receptive to thought transference, and for those that are, it is an intermittent thing and they will not receive every thought accurately. Those that thought too much before writing it down may have scrambled the transmitted thought.

Do not repeat this trick for the same audience - when they find you are using exactly the same numbers and words each time, they will smell a rat!

In fact most people under the given conditions will come up with those numbers and words. Why? Dunno. Must be the way the human mind is wired.

Note. When doing the 2 digit numbers, always pause where I put in the 3 dots - as this helps to clear their minds of any number they were thinking of up to that point; they don't know what you are going to say next, so it blanks the mind.

If you decide only to use the numbers, I would do the single digit last. When you've just written down '7', being told to write a 2 digit number, you are going to avoid using 7 again. Moving the 7 to the last slot means there is 68 between it and 37.

To learn this Magic trick all you have to remember is 3 numbers and 2 words. Easy isn't it? Your victims - sorry, audience - will be spell-bound with amazement.

There are many Magic Tricks you can learn that are just as easy as this to perform and just as impressive. My own preference is for Magic tricks that can be performed with borrowed objects so that the audience doesn't suspect that you are using special gimmicks - even though, often, you are.

What role do candles play in your life? Since they were first invented, their role in human societies continues to diversify. In the beginning, it was all about light. Of course, the meaning of light is as diverse as it is essential to our existence. A candle may play a different role in your life today, tomorrow or the next day. Just how profoundly have candles affected human development functionally, culturally and spiritually?

How much can you make running Google AdSense?
The answer to that question depends upon three factors:
1. How much traffic your site draws
2.How many visitors click on your ads
3.How much those ads pay per generated click With some ads paying as much as $5 or more, it’s possible that you can generate a serious income with AdSense.
There are relatively well documented cases of some people earning as much as $500 per DAY and more.
Numbers like that are rare exceptions however. Even so, there is no reason why you can’t earn somewhere around $1,000 per month, or more, once you get the hang of it.
How to get started using Google AdSense Make a visit to the following link of the Google’s AdSense Site and sign up. Generate revenue from your website. Google AdSense. (See the link bottom of the page) Make sure that you read their Acceptable Use Policy and that you follow their content requirements. Google has their own “AdSense Police” who will have no problem booting you out of the program if you fail to walk the line. Using Google AdSense on your site is like collecting free money.
There’s no reason not to do it and potentially thousands of dollars worth of reasons to do it.
