July a Birthday month for Leo - No Smoking Marlboro, Philadelphia and Some Phila-Sophy.

July is the month for the zodiac sign Leo. A part of August is also included..
Who is Leo? Do you like people of Leo? Well, cafealaturca is Leo, and his birthday is counting.
Why am I telling you this?

What if all coffees have a birthday? They have an expiration date, so they should have a birthday. It is mostly called production date. Why? Produce, consume, produce, consume...
Likewise, be born, die, be born, die...

After reaping the fruit of cherry beans to have coffee out of it, the fruit is dead. But, we call it production date. So, there is some irony in the production of all those food and beverage we consume. To make the long story short, I am offering you a great deal today. No, I am not. But, do you know those people talk nonsense, and when you ask them what they are talking about, they reply, "I am trying to make a point!"

Yes! And, my point is about Leo. Before that, while searching for the image for coffee cherry, I found about La'o Hamutuk Bulletin, which talks about U.S. Government Assistance in Coffee Growing Country-East Timur.

I strongly recommend you to utilize the image search online. As I searched for a picture of zodiac sign Leo, I met this blogger. She hosted this nice Leo picture, thanks.

Did you know that some people choose certain fragrances because those ones match their zodiac sign? So, basically, they heavily rely on their zodiac sign. I neither favor that, nor am opposed to.

According to this picture, Leo is placed at 4 o'clock position.
Pisces is right across Leo, so do they match each other. Or, Cancer and Virgo are Leo's neighbors, does it mean they are friends all the time? By the way, I wonder if hiring managers consider your zodiac sign for the job qualification. Because, you are supposed to have some given traits with your sign.
Leo has,
Traditional Leo Traits

Generous and warmhearted
Creative and enthusiastic
Broad-minded and expansive
Faithful and loving


On the dark side....

Pompous and patronizing
Bossy and interfering
Dogmatic and intolerant

This topic of zodiac was very relevant to our discussions about Turkish coffee and fortune telling. All these stuff are superstitious, but we love them. We love to hear about ourselves from another person. Can't you tell about yourself, when you look at yourself in the mirror? Hmm, interesting. Don't we like to hear the truths about our live from another person, although we are already aware of these truths. For example, the cigarette package.

See, the warning sign is even bigger than the brand name and logo. Still, we smoke! There is a recording label called No Smoking. I love it. Both creative and informative for all those outgoing people enjoying the night dance clubs. I advocate dancing as opposed to smoking in the night clubs. By the way, Philly had finally banned smoking in the bars and restaurants. Two thumbs Up!!! And this no smoking sign below has a point to make.
As a result, see how far we ended up talking at this Saturday's cafealaturca post. There is always stuff to talk about, it is just a matter of time investment. I will be posting the times in the future, so it might give you an idea how much sweat went for each post. Thanks for your visit. Come again! And, enjoy drinking your Turkish coffee, or cafe alaturca.

Chase, Follow, or Stalk...All Could B Misunderstood, But Don't Let UR Love Fail?!?!

A topic of discussion about love visits cafealaturca this Friday.

Live from a city where a park is called "Love Park"

An interesting story could be summarized as, from a male perspective:

Going to your regular shopping store, at a relatively consistent time you are always used to..

Seeing a cute girl..

Continue your shopping experience with the products offered in the store..

Meeting up with the same girl in another aisle once again..

Leaving the store without saying a word to this person..

Regret, stop, wait..

Watch her leaving the store, your eyes meet once again..

The moment becomes eternal, waiting for the next unexpected meeting with this girl in a relatively compact and crowded city like Philadelphia (the city of brotherly love)...

Throughout these high heart-beating minutes, your friend observes and is fascinated by this growing love story..

Next day, your dear friend sees this same girl in the subway by chance..Location and time noted down..

A couple of days later, shall we call it stalking, chasing, or following your heart? The girl and her lover meets informally, a couple of staring at each other, riding the same subway, and waiting outside the building where she works...Thinking and asking himself, why he could not go to her in the subway, and kindly introduce himself..

Love vaporizes..or not? To be continued? Now that it is the weekend, two days for deep thoughts, both for her and for the lover. She might be asking why this boy was following, maybe misunderstanding, a little bit scared. How would you feel if you were being followed by a person whose face you saw before in a grocery store?

I guess, the best option should be a little bit introduction in the subway and giving your phone number on a piece of paper. And no more following or further stalking..

A second regret...so, don't let the third one occur. Don't let your love connection fail. Try again!

Love might be a four letter word, but listen to Nat King Cole, and hear what he has for you:

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please dont break it
Love was made for me and you



L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

Cafealaturca wishes you find your love in an extraordinary way..And, remember those moments with your partner every other time, and just laugh at how fascinating life is, and what life can offer you in these fast-paced times.
"Don't have your love cooked fast-food", cafealaturca thinks.

After reading this story, what do you think about eHarmony. Is it artificial? Wouldn't you prefer a natural one, like the beginning of another naturally occurred love explained in the story of the girl and her lover in the grocery store.

Do you like fresh orange juice, or pasteurized one?
Do you like McDonald's or the eggplant stew you cook at home?
Do you like listening music, or singing your own way?
Do you like reading love letters, or writing yours?
Do you look at every other women passes by you in the street, or you are always stuck with one person you are desiring to meet one day? (replace women with men in this question, if needed)

Last, love should be this. Love should be precious and eternal and always patiently fed.

Movable Type 4.0 Beta, Bookmarking, Surfing, & Finding Nemo! And.. Wakoopa

Six Apart's Movable Type "is widely recognized as the powerhouse of blogging tools because of its extensive management features and customizability. But if you don't need professional support and multiple licenses, the free version may be all you need. I tested the personal license version of Movable Type 4.0 Beta, which includes some powerful editing tools and significantly improves on the previous free offering." explains Don Reisinger from PC World.

Basically, it is an alternative to blogger and wordpress online blogging tools. I don't know how good we are doing simply by heavily relying on Google. Though, this is a simple personal blog, so a company blog might be more careful with utilizing Google products.

Furthermore, some blogging concerns future employers. Denise Howell discusses this issue of blogging (and facebook-type social networking profiles) with the George Lenard.

OK, now, cafe talks..cafe advises..(the word form is advice, don't mix 'em up)

Whether you are using Firefox (which is an awesome browser) or the goody Internet Explorer browser, or other ones like Safari, etc., do you bookmark some websites? At times, finding a nice site happens, but no time to read it. So, what do we do?
Control+D
or, simply,
Bookmark This Page

I prefer to share some of these websites with you, and then deleting them from my bookmark list. Because, it often gets way too long for a list. Managing the bookmarks is also a hassle. So, using online sources such as Digg.It, or Google's Bookmarks would be your best bet. Since these websites are online, its bookmarking would better be online. No need to exhaust your computer.

And, shall I squeeze the discussion of Wakoopa in this post. According to TechCrunch, "Wakoopa uses a downloaded tracker, except if follows how often you use applications. Similarly, Wakoopa has also built a Rails-powered social website around the data, letting users share their preferences with friends, write reviews of their favorite application, and download new ones."


Qwerky tells that "the software wants you to download an unobtrusive piece of software, track the programs you use, and send that information to their website. "
