Well, I just noticed that my new thread meant to bring to light certain ironies regarding the things DR is often criticized for often happen to be the things for which Haiti is not criticized has been closed. Thanks guys for going with the off topic discussions that caused the closure of such thread. For this reason, this second edition is designed to make the information available, easily reachable, and with zero risk of having the threas die a premature death. In other words, it will be closed to comments, but it will be updated periodically.
Remember that any graph, article, image, etc that may be bigger than the width of the post, simply right-click and then click on 'open in new tab' and that should make the full image visible.
Irony 1: Modern Slavery
Irony 2: Haiti Rejects Black Diplomats
Irony 3: More Than 30 Massacres Committed in Haiti in 20th Century
Disclaimer. I don't want anyone to get the idea that I may be enjoying this. I don't like to talk bad about other people's countries, but I think way too much nonsense has been said about the DR for the benefit of Haitians and Haiti. I think its time to put things in perspective, and that's the purpose of this thread.

Catching up before Christmas and reflecting on 2017
Chief Executive Neil's Weekly Blog
Good Morning, it's hard to believe that we have almost reached the end of 2017.
I have spent the week like all of us, I expect, catching up with a number of year end tasks, compiling a list of things to do in 2018 and, in doing so, reflecting on the year that has just gone.
The Senior Management Team(SMT), will be sharing with all of the organisation some very interesting facts about CancerCare and it successes, challenges and our aspirations for the future early in the New Year. We have much to be proud of and, as always, more to do.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one involved in CancerCare for your support, hard work and commitment to ensure that our common aim of providing the very best type of support to people who need it most is achieved.
You have done this with energy, enthusiasm, professionalism and, most of all, by working as a team. I often use the phrase 'the CancerCare family' and that is what I see; a family be it staff, our wonderful volunteers and many of our supporters who help us to do what we do.
I have made a donation to our own Christmas appeal this year as my Christmas card to you all. Thank you and however you are spending your Christmas have a wonderful time.
We are open next week on Wednesday (December 27th), Thursday (December 28th) and Friday (December 29th) and our coffee morning will be welcoming people at Slynedales on Friday (December 29th). Thank you to those staff and volunteers who will be working.
We have a number of birthdays this month, Sandra Dacre (13th Dec), Mike McNabb (14th Dec), David James (23rd Dec) and my own, of course, on the 25th of December. Best wishes to all of you.
Blogging will resume on Friday 12th January 2018.
Like all of you, I suspect, Alan and I are looking forward to time with family and friends, as well as some down time to relax.
Very best Christmas wishes.
Neil Townsend, Chief Executive

|Can ant read environment variables?
|Mon, 25 Jun 2001 23:33:02 GMT
Hello, I have read in the ant documentation that build files have access to environment variables, but I am unable to get this to work. In my .bashrc, I have: WEBAPP=/usr/local/resin-1.2.7/webapps export WEBAPP and when I type "env" I see that this has been set. In my build.xml, I have the following two lines: <property name="webapp.home" value="${WEBAPP}"/> <property name="deploy.home" value="${webapp.home}/test"/> I then use "deploy.home" to copy files etc. But when I build, I get the following: [copy] Copying 11 files to /home/bclinton/work/test/${WEBAPP}/test/WEB-INF It is creating a directory in my basedir called ${WEBAPP} and copying files there. Not exactly what I had in mind. If I set "webapp.home" to an absolute path, it works fine. But I would like it so that the same buildfile can be used by multiple developers, who would specify differences with environmental variables. Can someone please point out what I am doing wrong here? Or if this is a known problem? One more question: I would have liked to research this question some more before asking: is there an archive of the ant-user list? I couldn't find one, and I have only been subscribed for around three weeks. Thanks, Bill

The Right Way to Wear Sunscreen Every Day
Finally! Warmer weather has arrived and that means more time outdoors, soaking up some sorely needed Vitamin D. Unless you've been spending life in a cave, you know all too well how important it is to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. You're no sunscreen slouch—come swim season you dutifully slather it on from top to bottom, 30 minutes before hitting the sand.
But do you wear it when, say, driving in your car or running errands? Sunscreen isn't just important when you're in direct sunlight for long periods, like a day at the beach. You should incorporate it into your everyday beauty routine. We know, there are loads of questions: Which goes on first, makeup or sunscreen? Some makeup products have SPF, but does that count? How the heck do you reapply sunscreen at the office when you already have makeup on?! Fear not—we're here to help.
First off, what SPF do you need?
As a rule of thumb, dermatologists recommend SPF 30 for everyday use and SPF 50+ for the beach. You should also pump up the SPF to 50+ for any outdoor activities, like a jog in the park, since sunscreen will wick away as you sweat.
So the higher the SPF, the better… right?
Not necessarily. The amount of UV rays that a sunscreen with SPF 30 blocks out, compared to SPF 70, is not as significant as you'd expect: 90 percent versus 98 percent. In other words, it's more important to reapply every two hours than get hung up on the SPF figure.
My makeup and moisturizer contains SPF—is that enough protection?
The short answer is no. Although BB and CC creams oftentimes do contain SPF, you'd never apply the amount needed to get the SPF protection listed on the bottle or tube. For starters, we don't apply makeup evenly—we'll put less around the eyes and maybe add more to uneven skin areas. Also, most of us aren't reapplying full makeup every two hours, so by the afternoon the SPF in your makeup isn't effectively protecting skin.
Which should you put on first: makeup or sunscreen?
Step one of your beauty regimen should be sunscreen. Before foundation and blush, rub in the sunscreen and allow about five minutes for it to properly penetrate skin. If your skin type is oily or prone to breakouts, you may prefer an oil-free formulation for the face—try Dermalogica's Oil Free Matte SPF 30. Take extra care to cover commonly missed places: around the eyes, the tip of the nose, the ears, around the lips and along the hairline. A good application tip? Start from the outside of your face and work your way to the center.
Ok. But how do I reapply sunscreen at work when I've got makeup on?
We totally get it: You don't want to smear sunscreen over your contouring bronzer and look like a melting wax sculpture. But it is crucial to keep your SPF topped up throughout the day even in a low-risk office scenario—whether you're working near a window or popping out for an iced latte. So what's a girl to do? Simple: Sweep on a loose face powder with added sun protection, like Peter Thomas Roth's Instant Mineral Powder SPF 45.
Now your skin's all set to take on summer!

Sporting Events, Golf and other Mortifying Activities
You may not want to hear it, but there are times when just talking about sports may not be enough. By that, we mean, some offices organize events around sports such as inviting clients to a sporting event or business meetings over a round of golf.
Many times, a woman may opt out of these, because she's afraid to appear clueless. A damaged ego may be the lesser of evils, though, since being a no-show guarantees missed networking opportunities or promotes the perception among her boss or colleagues that she's not a team player.
Now, about golf. Take a few lessons. If nothing else, you will find out that it's much more fun to be outside on a beautiful golf course than stuck in the office facing a mountain of paperwork. Don't let your colleagues intimidate you, either. No matter how much they golf, they're not Tiger Woods, either. At a company-sponsored event you'll most likely be put with a group around the same skill level.
But, what if you find yourself in a foursome with experienced players? Keep in mind that while you won't be able to show off great golfing technique, you CAN demonstrate your superior sportsmanship, by keeping your sense of humor, remaining calm in the face of adversity and celebrating the successes of the others. You may end the day with terrible golf score, but high marks on your character. Which do you think is more important for building relationships in the long run?
Sports pools and fantasy leagues are examples of un-official sports-related events in which you should be sure to participate. Doing so demonstrates your good-natured, sportsman-like character… and sets you apart from others too scared to put themselves out there.

1. The Osprey drops you onto the roof of a speeding train. Very cool opening.
2. Ignore the roof access on the first car. Instead, drop between the cars here then enter the second car.
3. Wait here while the porter patrols. Lambert asserts that it is unknown whether Soth is a US agent or a terrorist. Fisher's unlikely response is seen here. At least Lambert calls him a hippie.
4. Grab the porter when he comes close, then interrogate him to learn that Soth is in room 18. Knock him out and place his body in the dark corner. He drops an uninteresting data stick.
5. Drop through the trap door here.
6. Crawl along the underside of the train to the next trap door. The sound of the rushing train and the shaking camera are very effective.
7. Use your optic cable to spot a guard above. Wait for him to leave before pulling yourself back up.
8. Shoot out the ceiling light before opening the door. Curiously, this panel unlocks doors that aren't used for anything.
9. Keep left then open this door and choose "Climb Out."
10. You're back outside. Shimmy along the ledge and hang on tight when another train whizzes by.
11. Patiently wait for this guy to turn around and have a seat.
12. Next, wait for this woman to lean back and take a nap. Wait for the guards in the next window to get comfortable then continue past.
13. Now you can open the next door and climb back in.
14. In the next corridor Sam concludes that Soth's prosthetic right leg should appear different with thermal vision. Wait for the porter to apologize for not having ear plugs before moving past the room ahead.
15. Sneak down the corridor, viewing each room's occupant with your thermal vision.
16. Use the SWAT maneuver to sneak past this guy.
17. Once at room 18, your thermal vision plus optic cable shows you this image. Clearly, the right prosthetic leg is cooler than the left normal leg. Just as the porter said, enter room 18 to find Soth.
18. Approach Soth. Choose "Talk to" to wake him up and initiate a conversation. Soon, guards come to the door and Soth exits the room.
19. Fisher and Lambert catch Soth in a lie. Your objectives are updated: hack the laptop and laser-mic Soth's phone call.
20. A timer counts down. Exit the room and rush to the right. You can move quickly until you get to this car. Stealthily enter the galley on the right.
21. Stay crouched. Equip your laser mic and aim it at Soth in the corner. Record the entire phone call.
22. Time for extraction. You need to make it to the front car. You can sneak past this guard fairly easily, or knock him out for a data stick with some background if you prefer.
23. Speed is your friend now. Rush to this ladder on the right and climb it to open the trap door in the ceiling.
24. The Osprey is engaged in combat with a helicopter. Rush toward the Osprey and it lowers a rope.
25. Grab hold of the rope to be whisked into the Osprey just as it destroys the chopper. Great way to end a short but memorable level.

Reblog: I Don't Have Kids and That's Okay
This is an excellent post from Adventures of a Dog Mom. As I said to her:
"On one hand, I'd like to have a daughter someday. On the other, birth is painful and cats are easier to take care of. (Plus, a cat isn't going to bring home germs from school!)"
Something to think about in my constant quest for "Will I or won't I?"

Tarkan Teveto?lu
17 October 1972
Alzey, Rhineland-Palatinate, West Germany
P?nar Dilek (m. 2016)
|Musical career
HITT Production
Tarkan Teveto?lu (Turkish pronunciation: [ta?'kan teve'to:?u]) (born 17 October 1972), known as Tarkan, is a Turkish pop singer. He was born in West Germany and raised in Turkey.[] He has released several platinum-selling albums during his career, with an estimated 29 million albums and singles sold.[] He also produces music through his company HITT Music, which he established in February 1997.
One of few European singers who has managed to span chart success without singing in English, he is also noted for his live stage performances. Tarkan's effect on Turkey has been compared by the Washington Post to that of Elvis Presley in the US around 1957 and Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegün described him as one of the best live performers he had ever seen.[1] He has also been listed by Rhapsody as a key artist in the history of European pop music, with his signature song "mar?k" as a keystone track that moved the genre forward.[2]
Tarkan was born in Alzey, West Germany, to Ali and Ne?e Teveto?lu. The name Tarkan is said to originate from an ancient Turkic king or title, meaning bold and strong.[3] In 2009 it was discovered that Tarkan is his middle name and his first name is Hüsamettin, which means "sword of faith".
His parents were part of the generation of Turkish immigrants who came to West Germany during that country's economic boom. His father's parents have a decorated military past as war heroes who fought in the Ottoman armies in the Russo-Turkish Wars.[4]
Tarkan has three step-siblings named Adnan, Gülay and Nuray from his mother's first marriage, and a brother, Hakan, and younger sister, Handan from her marriage to his father.[5] Although Tarkan was raised in Alzey until the age of 13, his father Ali decided to move the family back to Turkey in 1986. His father died of a heart attack in 1995 at the age of 49 and was buried in his home village of Rüzgarl? Köy,[] in the Turkish district of Ikizdere in the Rize Province of the Turkish Black Sea region. His mother later married an architect, Seyhun Kahraman.[6] Tarkan keeps close ties with his family in Turkey and Germany. Other than his native Turkish, he speaks English fluently. Although he still understands German, he speaks little, primarily because he has been living in the U.S. and Turkey for the last 20 years.[7]
Tarkan has charted both in Europe and in the Americas with his definitive song "mar?k" (Spoilt/Kiss Kiss/Chanson Du Bisou/Besos). As a result of its widespread success and immediately recognizable sound of Tarkan kissing on the track, "mar?k" was performed in English as "Kiss Kiss" by Stella Soleil and later by Holly Valance, which became a UK number one hit, after the composer Sezen Aksu sold the music rights. It has been covered by various artists in various countries and languages. Another successful Aksu collaboration was the hit single "k?d?m" (Shake). His entry into the European musical consciousness started a Turkish pop boom in Germany and Turkey in the 1990s, with his European successes signalling that the musical borders between Turkey and Europe, more specifically Germany, were dissolving.[8] Because of his success, he became the prime example of a Turkish pop performer with an audience outside Turkey.[8] Over the years his works have maintained their popularity, with Tarkan's 2007 studio album Metamorfoz selling over a quarter of a million copies in the first two weeks following its release on 25 December 2007.[9]
When the Teveto?lu family relocated to Turkey, Tarkan began to study music in high school in Karamürsel, before being accepted at the Üsküdar Musiki Cemiyeti Academy in Istanbul.[10] After his family moved to Istanbul in 1988, he began to prepare for University entrance exams in 1990, but had a difficult time in Istanbul with little money. He worked at low-paying jobs, including a stint as a wedding singer.[11] Music legend has it that just as he was preparing to return to Germany, he met Mehmet Sö?üto?lu, chairman of the record company ?stanbul Plak.[] Produced by Sö?üto?lu, his debut album Yine Sensiz (Without You Again) sold 750 thousand copies after its release in December 1992.[12][] For the album he had teamed up with then little known songwriter-composer Ozan Çolako?lu, who later co-produced his albums.[] Wrote one critic: "It happened maybe for the first time in the world of [Turkish] music, that "slang" words were used in songs and the brave young man began to draw attention as much with his songs as with his green eyes."[5]
The success of Tarkan in the early 90s was seen by some as a sign of growing admiration for Western music, and the artist's real success came two years later. Collaborating with Turkey's "little sparrow", prominent producer and songwriter Sezen Aksu,[13] Tarkan's highly anticipated second album A-Acayipsin (Oh - You're Something Else) sold more than two million copies in Turkey and another 750 thousand copies in Europe.[12][] Such high European sales were a first-time accomplishment for a Turkish performer. Aksu wrote two songs for the album, the radio-friendly "Hepsi Senin Mi?", which was later relicensed as "k?d?m" (Shake) for the European market, and a pop-rock number "?eytan Azapta". "Hepsi Senin Mi?" incorporated shaky Turkish rhythms and lyrics of pure slang, and in the video to the song Tarkan slanted his body to the rhythmic melody of the song while displaying a naked chest. This was considered to be bold and daring in the still conservative Turkish music industry.[11] Building on his taboo-breaking and rebellious image, the video to "?eytan Azapta" incorporated scenes from the tour that followed, where dancers would strip Tarkan naked on stage. This erotic persona was enhanced when the artist posed naked and semi-naked for the most popular Turkish magazines of the period,[14] and he became the first male to make the front cover of the domestic edition of the Cosmopolitan (Cosmo).[11]
In 1994, he experienced a dip in his celebrity status after he made a gaffe during an interview on a live broadcast marking the anniversary of the private Turkish TV channel ATV. When asked how he was on live television, his response was "Çi?im var, a?abey." ("I've gotta pee, man.") He was publicly criticised for the comment and only after performing traditional songs on another TV special did he endear himself again to the nation.[1]
In part to remove himself from media scrutiny, Tarkan moved to New York in 1994 to learn English and complete his education at Baruch College.[15] During this period he filmed a video to another song from his second album, "Dön Bebe?im", in New York. Again Tarkan stripped for this project, but this time he was sharing a bed with a female American model for the slow love song. The opening scenes of the video show the two naked, apparently in the aftermath of a love scene. Unused sex scenes from the video are still aired on celebrity entertainment programmes from time to time in Turkey.[] While in America, he met the Turkish founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegün, who had seen him perform in Istanbul at the ATV anniversary concert.[11] Tarkan has described Ertegün as his mentor in music and business.[16] Ertegün, who died in December 2006, had long been preparing Tarkan for an American career,[1] but Tarkan restarted his English debut album several times.[]
In July 1997, the hit song "mar?k" kickstarted promotions in Turkey for his third studio album Ölürüm Sana (I'd Die For You). This album took three years to complete. Tarkan collaborated once more with Aksu and music engineer Çolako?lu for the album, which became his highest grossing album and won him his first music industry award for his song "mar?k". In Turkey alone, Ölürüm Sana sold 4.5 million copies.[12][]
Signed by the French branch of recording label PolyGram (now Universal Music) after the single "mar?k" was released in Europe in 1999, Tarkan reached number three in places like Switzerland,[17] the Netherlands,[18] France, and Germany. The song also reached number one in Belgium. He was awarded a gold disc at the Cannes Midem Awards. As the first artist of Turkish origin to sell 500,000 albums in France, in an interview for CNN he said: "It feels wild, you know, because in the beginning I never thought it was going to really happen. It's all in Turkish, you know, and nobody understands a word. But I think it's a groove. It's the kisses that are universal."[16]
Following the success of the single, Tarkan released a compilation album for Europe entitled Tarkan. He won a World Music Award in Monaco for its rapid sales. He released two more singles in Europe under the Universal label: "k?d?m" and "Bu Gece" ("Tonight").[12][]
Tarkan travelled throughout Europe and Latin America to promote his music. Appearing in Ukraine, Morocco, Tunisia and Russia, he gave a total of eighteen concerts in seventeen European cities. In Latin America the album provided Tarkan with a strong fan base, especially in Mexico and Argentina, where Universal Music funded a promotional tour at the end of 1999.[19] This visit had to be postponed until the second week of March 2000, because Tarkan was called up for military service, which he had suspended to allow for studies in New York. In 2000, the self-titled album was released in the U.S. with a Universal Latino label. Sales went platinum in Latin America.[]
A copyright dispute erupted between Tarkan and Aksu over the track "mar?k", which ultimately blocked the singer's chance to release an English-language version of the song. The music was initially credited as composed by Aksu, Tarkan and Çolako?lu, but Tarkan later admitted in a 2006 interview that this had been done without Aksu's consent, and that Aksu was the true copyright owner. This dispute ended their successful musical partnership and friendship.[20] During the dispute, Sezen Aksu released the publishing rights to other artists, including Holly Valance.
At the height of his fame in 1999, Tarkan was called up for military service, which had been legally deferred since 1995. The deadline for beginning his service had passed in 1998, but due to contractual obligations abroad after the success of his compilation album he did not return to Turkey to do his military service. The media discussed whether Tarkan should be viewed as a deserter and stripped of his citizenship. Even the Turkish parliament discussed the issue.[21][22] After the August 1999 earthquake shook Turkey, legislation was enacted that allowed those covered by the law to pay $16,000 for the benefit of the earthquake victims in return for shortening their military service obligation to 28 days.[1] Tarkan returned to Turkey in 2000, took advantage of this law, and completed his service. Before entering the army, he gave a return concert in Istanbul as a benefit for an earthquake victims' fund.[11] Of his shortened time in military training, he said: "It was January and snowing like crazy. It was tough; the food was terrible. Eighteen months of my life for nothing? I thought my own dreams were more important."[1]
In January 2001, Tarkan became the first Pepsi spokesperson in Turkey. This preceded the release of his album Karma and for the first time two singles in his domestic market in the same year: "Kuzu Kuzu" ("Like A Lamb") and "Hüp" ("Whoop"). Although Karma was not released worldwide, it was distributed in large shipments to Russia, where he had become the largest-selling non-Russian pop star. A million copies shipped to other areas of Europe, including Denmark.[1] His so-called Karma-era style projected an image totally different from his earlier persona in respect to both music and looks.[14] His appearance - tight trousers, loose, unbuttoned shirts or tight T-shirts - and his new hairdo set a trend among young Turkish men, who started to copy his looks.[23] According to hairdressers, his Kuzu Kuzu hairstyle is still the most frequently requested style in the salons of Turkey.[24] During this time he met Michael Lang, co-organiser of the Woodstock Festival, who became his international manager. According to Lang: "Tarkan is a great singer and his performance is great. His current success is only the beginning in my opinion. He'll be a star in five-year's time and he will not fade away. Know this, he is here to stay. He has an indescribable charisma."[25]
In 2001 researcher Dr. N Aysun Yüksel published a book titled Tarkan - Y?ld?z Olgusu (Tarkan - Anatomy of a Star), which was withdrawn from bookshelves by a court order after Tarkan's lawyer Süheyl Atay sued the writer. According to the court's decision the book published personal information and copyrighted photos of the artist, and violated his good reputation.[26] When the video directed by Ferzan Özpetek for the single "Hüp" was released, the Turkish Radio and Television Supreme Council considered banning it from television broadcast, as some viewers complained that the scene in which Tarkan kisses actress Sinemis Candemir was too "explicit" and "pornographic". The case was reported through Europe by the BBC.[22] There was no ban, and fans voted it the video of the year in 2001 at Kral music station's video awards.
After becoming the face of Pepsi in Turkey, Tarkan also became the official mascot of the Turkish national football team for the 2002 World Cup. He recorded the football song "Bir Oluruz Yolunda" ("United For You"), which became an anthem for the fans.[12][]
His EP/hybrid album Dudu (Woman) was the first to be released by his own label HITT Music, in the summer of 2003. It was the first album of its kind to sell over a million copies in Turkey, while the title track won Tarkan a "Song of the Year Award" in Russia.[27] Because his successful creative partnership with Aksu had ended, he worked with singer-songwriter Nazan Öncel on both Karma and Dudu. Öncel's own Yan Yana Foto?raf Çektirelim album was published under the HITT label. He also released his own perfume line entitled "Tarkan" at the start of 2004.
Although musically a continuation from Karma, in terms of image Dudu presented different visuals from the 2001-2003 period. Sexuality became secondary in terms of fashion and concerts were toned down to become intimate affairs.[28] The new image portrayed a more laid back Tarkan sporting shorter hair and wearing less glamorous designs. It was a declaration that glitz and sex were no longer a necessary tool to sell his works. Indicating his desire to show different sides of his personality, he said of his new look: "It's not important how sexy I look or whether I dance sexy".[29]
In 2005, Tarkan announced that his English language album was finally ready after over a decade of effort. The plans for Come Closer began in 1995, when media mogul Ahmet Ertegün encouraged Tarkan to break into the international market.[1] He had managed to break through with "mar?k" and without the aid of an English-language album, but his manager, Ahmet San, entered Tarkan into contractual obligations that hindered further success in Europe. In the framework of a larger agreement with Ertegün's Atlantic Records, Tarkan had tied his rights as a performing artist to a French publishing company, Jonathan Productions, in which San owned shares. The contract specified that Tarkan could not release his own works without the company's permission. Once "mar?k" hit the international stage, Tarkan was virtually blocked from releasing anything, as Charles Ibgui, the director of Jonathan Productions, stated in a letter sent to the artist's then domestic label ?stanbul Plak: "neither Tarkan nor his producer Mehmet Sö?üto?lu can without our permission release any album in any language anywhere in the world".[30] This ended the working relationship between Tarkan and San. Tarkan said that San had "destroyed his American dream" and the English album "had been scrapped".[31] Tarkan's disagreements with Ertegün concerning the concept of a proposed English-language album has also caused delays. Ertegün preferred something more American in style, while Tarkan insisted on including many Turkish elements.[30]
On 10 October 2005, Tarkan released his debut English-language single "Bounce" in Turkey. Come Closer was released in parts of Europe on 7 April 2006 by Universal Music. The album featured such songwriters as Lester Mendez, who co-wrote Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes"; Brian Kierulf, who produced songs for Britney Spears;[32] and singer Wyclef Jean, with who Tarkan recorded the song "Aman Aman". "Bounce" was released in Germany a few days after the release of the album. The German version of the single included an oriental remix, as well as a hip-hop version featuring American reggaeton singer Adassa. A second single, "Start the Fire", was released in August; it included a remix by Turkish DJ Mousse T. A music video for the Mousse T. version was also produced prior to the single's release.
The album was a limited success. It was released only in a few European countries and Turkey, and Tarkan appeared on several television shows to promote the album in Germany, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania and Russia. The promised world tour included only a few Central and Eastern European countries, Azerbaijan, Russia, Austria and Germany.[] Worldwide release was postponed and domestic sales did not approach the success of his previous albums, with only 110,000 copies sold in Turkey.[33]
A Turkish music pirate, well before the official release, leaked four stolen demo recordings from the debut English album onto the internet. Thousands of copies were downloaded illegally before the album's official release. The leaked songs garnered considerable airplay in dance clubs in Turkey before Tarkan's management took legal action against DJ's playing them.[34]
Tarkan released another Turkish-language album on 25 December 2007, which was composed almost solely of his own work. Called Metamorfoz ("metamorphosis" in English), seven of the songs were written by Tarkan, three other songs were collaborations with long-time engineer and producer Çolako?lu.[35] The album sold over 300,000 copies in the first two weeks of its release.[9] Tarkan also became the most downloaded artist at TTNetMüzik, a digital music provider where his songs were made legally available in a digital format at the start of January 2008. Out of nearly two million tracks that were purchased after six weeks, nearly 100,000 of those acquired were Tarkan songs, making him the highest grossing single artist at the music portal.[]
Unlike the public reception, the critical response to Metamorfoz was lukewarm. Most music critics found the album musically lacking in comparison with Tarkan's earlier albums. Ecevit K?l?ç, columnist for Sabah newspaper, hailed Tarkan on his return and called him the "Orhan Pamuk of music", saying that Tarkan, just like Nobel award recipient Pamuk, always does everything his own way, despite all the attacks he has received from the press.[36] Tarkan received congratulations from the chairman of the Turkish Language Association for his lyrics by using correct language, traditional idioms and sayings in his lyrics, showing in the association's view a good example to Turkish youth in preserving the culture of the Turkish language.[37] Besides the sales success, Tarkan also produced the third highest viewer rating with his New Year's Eve performance on TRT television channel,[38] which generated a total of one million YTL income for the station.[39]
The album was released in Germany on 1 February 2008 by Urban.[40]
Tarkan released his eighth album, Ad?m? Kalbine Yaz, on 29 July 2010. The album received highly positive reaction from critics and also his fans all around the world. It sold more than 300,000 copies in the first week after its release and the singles of the album topped the music charts in Turkey.
His popular image has been courted by several companies; he became the face first for Pepsi, then for two Turkish telephone companies, Turkcell and Avea.[] His 2003 tour was sponsored by Opet and he shot three television advertisements for them.[]
According to Ahmet Ertegün: "He's a great dancer, he moves beautifully, and he has the magic that all big hit artists share, which is the ability to get an emotion across through a recording."[1]
His song "mar?k" has been sampled by various artists in these countries, and the film industry in India has also used several Tarkan hits, including "k?d?m", "Kuzu Kuzu" and "Dudu", for various Bollywood films.[41][42] His "K Güne?i" song has been chosen as one of "The Unforgettable Hits of Turkish Music" by Hürriyet newspaper.[43]
In February 2008, the animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) began a campaign to persuade Tarkan to swear off fur after he wore a coat with a fur-lined collar on the cover of his 2005 album, Come Closer. PETA encouraged its members to send personal email messages to Tarkan and his management.[44] Tarkan announced that he regretted wearing the fur-lined coat and would join an animal rights' movement.[45]
Tarkan was in a relationship with a French model in the early 1990s,[46] and with a Turkish journalist[47] between 1994 and 1996.[47][48] Because Tarkan does not like to talk about his personal life, there has been speculation about his sexual orientation in the popular press. Photos stolen from his house in New York in 2001 were portrayed as compromising; they were photos with other men in swimwear at a public nude beach. In one of the pictures he appears to be kissing a man.[49] In an interview with Hürriyet, Tarkan contested the widespread assumption that he was gay.[50] He said: "Men [spread these rumours about my homosexuality]! Definitely. It's because I destroy [the image] they try to show off as manhood!"[50] One of his ex-girlfriends also denied he was gay.[51] Tarkan later gave fewer and fewer interviews and television appearances, limiting himself to a small number of trusted journalists. In 2006, he said that his relationship with the media had gone wrong.[52]
He was in a relationship with a lawyer, Bilge Öztürk, for seven years until they amicably parted in 2008.[53] He has told the media that he regards the institution of marriage as outdated, stating he would only get married for the benefit of any children he might have.[54] Tarkan owns a ranch-like property in Polonezköy, Istanbul, where he cultivates fruit trees and keeps animals,[55] and owned a flat in Murray Hill, New York City.[56]
On April 29, 2016 Tarkan married his long-time girlfriend, P?nar Dilek. The couple met in 2011 after a concert in Germany. Dilek has been a fan of Tarkan long before they got acquainted.[57]
On July 12, 2018 Tarkan and P?nar became parents. Their daughter's name is Liya.[58]
List of awards Tarkan has won during his career:[59]

|This was his motorcycle...I found a picture of it through Google. Thought that was pretty cool!
I am not able to go to his funeral, but I figured I should write out how I feel anyway. I just wish I had a chance to tell him.
Tony "Pete" came into our lives and right away he was a part of the family. It was right out of the pages of a Hollywood script – a charismatic soul who brightens the lives of a single parent family. He showed us the world and loved us unconditionally. He taught us the important things in life (as any good stepfather would). He also taught us to never let people get to you. He made us see life in a sense that you can do whatever you put your mind to – and if somebody didn't like it then you wave your leg out the window at them (or something like that).
"Pete" came into my life when I was an awkward teenager. He gave me the greatest gift anyone could ever give – confidence. With "Pete" on my team I felt I could face the world in a new light. I could hold my head up, face my fears and laugh again. Knowing he was there with us to help guide us was so comforting. I wish I had one more chance to tell him how much I appreciated his guidance through those years of my life.
"Pete" had an uncontrollable, highly contagious and carefree laugh that represented a man who enjoyed his life and loved his family. We had many laughs the years he was with us. Our family needed this laughter and I can honestly say that "Pete" was our hero.
He was the kind of man who could go into a room full of strangers, and right away everybody fell in love with him (except maybe that guy at the zoo who made fun of me and Pete was right there to teach him how to respect girls). He is the only person I know who could leave the house with small change in his pocket and come home with a meal of burgers for the entire family because he made friends with the fast food worker. It was easy for him to show people his true charm. On the other hand, "Pete" would give you the shirt off his back if you mentioned you liked it. In fact, he would make you take the shirt off his back if you politely declined. He truly loved making people smile.
The world has truly lost a truly incredible man. It's not fair that we lost someone with a heart of gold, who had an incredible amount of compassion and love for others. I genuinely believe he will be with us forever in our hearts.
Hello..this is my blog. I bought this fancy theme and I don't know what to write here just yet. Maybe one day remind me I have to write something inspiring here?

Description of problem:
Clean install (everything), start gnome - nautilus crashes.
after rm -fr /tmp/* , /tmp/.???* ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome* ~/.nautilus* ~/.X* ~/.ICE
~/.MCOP* and reboot the problem is gone
but it comes back after a few days/hours, have not been able to figure out what
it exactly is that makes it to crash.
Just now it works again but the behaviour is strange, sometimes it just
segfaults and sometimes i get also messages about some insertion failed, four or
five of them (don't find any of them from /var/log or elsewhere at the moment),
sorry but I don't remember them exactly.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start gnome (either by init 5 or startx)
2.see nautilus die
Actual Results: see description
Expected Results: no crash
Additional info:
The system as such (os, gnome, etc) is still fully usable, I have not seen
anything else that would not work (the desktop help, yes, but it would be part
of nautilus, right?)
Oh, forgot to mention:

There are no packages available for update.
None of the packages you requested were found, or they are already updated.
When it happens again, maybe you could collect all the configuration directories
in a tar archive and attach them to the bug, so we can reproduce the problem?
Ok, it's down again. These are the messages I get when I try to start it
manually. I'll make a tarball of my .gnome* and some others, including an strace -f

Know something about this song or lyrics? Add it to our wiki.
Half past one and a dial tone to match. I'll fooled sleep one to many times…this clock doesn't seem to move when I want…or should I say..time has no regard when you do. Appearance is just that, brightly colored walls and a slowly burning match. I'll fooled sleep one to many times..only to degrade myself. With each word, left unsaid…with each feeling left unshown. One thousand times the urge to show you exactly how much you mean to me. Why did it have to end so soon? Moments after you said 'I love you', or so it seemed (god I loved hearing those words) I need to grow up. (I'd rather write a song about you than forget you.)

Go After the One
A man cleaning up a Kroger parking lot, a girl in a food bank line, a woman walking out of a hospital, a teen at an evening reviveTX service—Different people, different struggles, different walks of life, but having ONE thing in common. They each heard the ONE Gospel message this week because someone took the time to share it. They each said YES to Jesus and now have hope because another person was willing to find them.
During the Friday evening service, Kyle Lance Martin preached out of Luke 15, sharing the parable of the lost sheep. He challenged the Church to be like the shepherd and go out after the one. We may want to stay in the comfort of the flock with the other ninety-nine, but that's not what Jesus describes. He went out. He found the one who was lost. And He brought them back to safety. That's starting to happen across DFW as teams go out with reviveTX. They are finding the one and bringing them home.
"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?"
Luke 15:4
Noah has been out of prison for three years. A lifestyle of drugs and bad decisions left his life in a mess. He's doing his best now, working hard and fighting to rebuild his life. Jason and Roger met Noah in a Kroger parking lot in Flower Mound. They introduced themselves and asked if they could pray with him. Over the course of the conversation, they shared the Gospel as well. Noah had heard this Good News before while in prison. He had confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior and wanted to be baptized, but a prison lockdown had messed up the plans. The opportunity never returned and no one followed up. "Would you want to be baptized now?" Jason and Roger asked. Noah's face lit up. They couldn't work out the details immediately, but the next day would work. "I'll be here tomorrow," Noah said. And he was. He was waiting when Jason and Roger pulled in the following day. They found a local aquatic center that allowed them to use the facilities. Noah's face beamed as he recommitted his faith in Christ. And this time, he won't be forgotten. He's plugged in with discipleship and ready to walk in the newness of life.
Sylvan was part of a team sent to the Without Walls Food Pantry in Fort Worth. They were handing out Bibles as people sat in their cars waiting in line. He approached a car with a grandmother and granddaughter. After asking if he could pray with them, they prayed for the grandmother's diabetes, at the young girl's request. Sylvan sensed a genuine, sweet and open spirit in the girl. The cars started to move, so Sylvan handed them the Bible and wristbands saying, "Here, this will tell you how you can have Jesus in your life."
"Really?" the girl immediately replied. "Can you please help me with that?"
Sylvan couldn't have been more excited to hear those words. After going through the food line, Sylvan walked her through the Gospel, using the five verses. She was eager to accept Jesus as her Lord and Savior. It was such an innocent experience and one that wouldn't have happened had Sylvan not gone out!
"For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again."
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
Seth and his team were driving around and took a wrong turn. They ended up in a hospital parking lot where they spotted a woman walking to her car. Even from a distance, Seth could tell she was burdened and knew they needed to pray with her. He all but chased her down, actually running over a curb. She introduced herself as Kendorya and explained she was leaving after visiting her daughter and new grandbaby. She admitted that her life was a mess, and things were really hard. They prayed and gave her a Bible and wristband. Kendorya had never heard the Gospel. She said YES to Jesus right there in that hospital parking lot. A woman on the team is already set to follow-up with her. Kendorya has hope now; she has life!
Jill was in charge of discipleship training during a reviveTX evening service in the black-colored region. The goal is to train adult believers to disciple, "do life," with new believers. Strangely, a teen girl made her way into the room saying she wanted to do discipleship. Confused, Jill began a conversation with her. Yes, Jill had other things that needed to be done, but the Holy Spirit was telling her, something was up. The girl was wearing a bracelet and asked Jill for a Bible unprompted. "Have you been through these verses?" Jill questioned. Yes, the girl had, but she wasn't sure she was ready to put her trust in Christ. Her dad wasn't a believer, she explained, and she wanted to wait for him. Jill gently encouraged her, "Unless you accept the gift of Jesus, you can't share it with him!" Suddenly, it was like something clicked. Her face lit up, and she began to cry. She said YES to Jesus right there in the discipleship room. Jill didn't have to go anywhere to find this young lady…but she listened to the Holy Spirit, and didn't let an opportunity pass by.
That's what reviveTX is all about: being obedient and listening to the Holy Spirit as we go after the one. We've got to be willing to interrupt our plans, ask a simple question, or even jump a curb. Each of these precious souls went from death to life because someone looked for the one…the one who was lost, but now is found.
"And when he has found [the lost sheep], he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing…Just so I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."
Luke 15:5,7

Silvio Berlusconi has called for 600,000 illegal migrants to be deported from Italy, calling it "a social bomb ready to explode in Italy."
The former Italian PM said: "Immigration has become an urgent question, because after years with a left-wing government, there are 600,000 migrants who don't have the right to stay. We consider it to be an absolute priority to regain control over the situation.
"When we're in government we will invest many resources in security. We will boost police presence and reintroduce the 'Safe Streets' initiative…Our soldiers will patrol the streets alongside police officers."

LOS ANGELES --The man convicted of stabbing a University of Southern California film student was sentenced Thursday. Travion Terrett Ford, 25, was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. Ford was convicted in August of the second degree murder of 23-year-old Bryan Frost. Frost was stabbed to death in September 2008 during a pre dawn argument with Ford near the USC campus.
The fight allegedly started when Frost noisily slammed a metal gate outside of Ford's mother's house.
After yelling at Frost and his friends, Ford ran back into his mother's house and grabbed a kitchen knife, stabbing Frost in the heart.
Ford told police that he stabbed Frost in self-defense, saying the student was drunk and aggressive.
Ford is a former usher for University of Southern California football games. Frost was from Idaho and transferred to USC in hopes of becoming a film director.
