How To Prepare Nargile(Hookah-Water Pipe)

Hello readers and wellcome back with the part II of the Nargile(Hookah or Water Pipe). So as we talked about how to buy a nargile and the key points of nargile. So i'll try to explain how to prepare nargile as simple as possible. And when i reviewed my first article, i found out that i forgot to mention about the coal,which is one of the key figures of nargile. So here we gonna talk about the coal and coal choise. First of all the coal used for nargile is generally made out of "fruit deeds". So when choosing coal for nargile it would be very sound to choose "fruit made" coals. Here on the picture here you can see the coal which i use @ home;
Ok i have to admit that i'm not using fruit made one. But the reason for this is not the qu
ality.It's just I'm too lazy to go and buy fruit made one. So as a lazy person i bought this coal four days ago from a corner shop very close to my neighbourhood. The
 main point on to use  coal is to make it as hot as possible.  Maybe the most importatn point if
 you are a home user of nargile, how to burn the coal? So here's my suggestion with a picture. Simply divide you coal pieces to smaller pieces(but pay attention if you make them too small they will becoma dust after some certain heating up) and put them in to a metalic plate. Then put the plate on the the fire. This will co
ver the dust which falls from the coals and you will not have to clean after you burn some coal for your narigle. So here's the proper picture the technique
 
i use to burn my coals.


So as you can see here the pieces of the coal is not so big. After putting your plate to fire we may continue to prepare the other stuff for our nargile. At this part we will put our tobacco to our lüle(i hope you remember the equipments of nargile). The key fact when putting your tobacco to your lüle is, the amount of tobacco you put to your nargile shouldn't be so less or too much..just the ideal. And the also when other fact it don't push your tobacco(or press) as this will avoid it to have air inside lüle,which will cause nargile not to work. So on the picture here i'll show you how i put my tobacco to lüle.  In this example i mixed two types of tobacco together. I used apple and mint flavour together. Now the questions should begin to appear in minds as i told before that, mixing tobaccos are not good for the taste. But in this situation mint only gives refreshment to nargile which provides better taste.But i don't suggest to mix strong flavours as it would be a disasterous experince of nargile for you. On the picture here you can what apple tobacco looks like. And here on the other picture you can see tobacco inside lüle. The green ones you are seeing are mint flavoured tobacco. 
After putting our tobacco to our lüle like in the picture(by the way our coal is still on the fire and must be begenning to burn) it's time to cover it with aluminium. We must cover our lüle with aluminium to protect our tobacco from direct heat as it will help our tobacco to long last and make it possible to smoke our nargile. You must cover your lüle as tight as
 possible. And if the aluminium is too t
hin you can cover your lüle twice. So here we go with the how to cover our lüle with aluminum. After covering lüle, you must put some small holes to aluminium as to make it provide air to make coal burn and also tobacco to burn. Now it's time to put some water to our bottle. It would be a good idea to put water till to the neck of the bottle. Because if you put less your filter won't work and if you put too much it would not work either. So till to the neck of the bottle would be a sound chooice.

So as you can see i put water till to the neck of the bottle :)
So as we proceed we are almost to finalise our preparation of nargile. After our coals got enough hot this means we are ready to smoke our nargile. In the picture you can see the ideal form of coal. And we are ready to smoke our nargile.. Enjoy your nargile :)

Nargile

Hello my dear readers as i'm posting my new article to my blog. In this post i would like to share my opinions and experiences about Nargile(hookah or smoking pipe) and how to prapere it at home. So it would be good to begin as to determine the Nargile and it's history and operation system. First let's understand what is nargile..the definition should be;

"A nargile is a single or multi-stemmed water pipe for smoking tobacco" . So as my first mission to tell you that as you can see as long as we use it for smoking tobacco(we don't have any option) it's DANGEROUS for your health.  So as to continue i can say it's a "little" more less dangerous than t
he cigarrete. The thing is as i will mention in the next secitons, nargile uses a w
ater filter which obsolates the bad effects of tobacco smoke. Let's continue with the nargile and what it looks like;

Nargile is mainly based on two important parts, as one of it is called bottle which we put water as a filter and the second important part is body. In the picutre below you can see two different parts of the nargile;


On the left side you can see the bottle of my own nargile which i'm using it daily. As i mentioned before, the purpose of this bottle is to hold water and when we smoke our nargile, to provide a water filter to the smoke.


On the rigt side 
you can see two different types of body(which we call "SER" in Turkish). The main goal of the body is to make your nargile work. As you can see one of it is made of brazen and the other one is made of iron. My suggestion to you, if you want to buy a nargile it should definetely be a iron or silver one to get the great taste of nargile and to get effectiveness from your nargile. So on the picture you can see two holes. The hole on the bottom side(which one is bigger) is used to put "lüle(the equipment where we put tobacco)" and the small one is where we put the "pipe". The important thing when choosing the body of your nargile if you are going to use it at home to be sure that the table(the round side just un
der the big hole) to be big as it provides shelter to ash which falls from tobacco as you smoke your nargile. So let's continue with other parts of nargile which are lüle, pipe and cover. 
So here we go with lüle;

Lüle is the part where you put your tobacco and put your coal to smoke your nargile. In Turkey we have two different(actually three but for home use only two types) types of lüle. One made out of clay and the other one is made out of porcleain. In the pictures below you will see the two different types of lüle and after that i'll explain the differences and advantages. 



This one on the top you can see 6 lüles which are made out of clay. These kinds of lüles are good for commarcial use but most of the people also uses it at their home (like me). The main advantage of this one is, they can hold more tobacco and it gives you better taste as it absorbates heat more quicker which is the key fact of smoking nargile. But when using this kind, you must be cautus as  once you use it a certain type of tobacco(melon,cherry,apple etc.) you should keep continue using the same kind with that one. Otherwise, you will not get the exact taste from your tobacco as the flavours mix to each other. 


And the other type is one which is made out of porcleain. The most certain advantage of the porcelain made lüle is it's much more easier to clean than the clay made one. As you can see on the left side this one is also one of the lüles which i use at home. The main disadvantage of this 
kind is they can hold less tobacco than the clay made ones which means that your nargile will finish sooner. But the main advantage is you can use different types of tobacco as it doesn't mix the tastes. So it's less expansive choice rather than clay made one. 

*But the most important part is to clean your lüle and nargile after each time you smoke it. Espacially with hot water. So let's continue with the other part which is the final part...the pipe. 

In Turkey we call it "marpuç". The main role of it as we all can guess, is to make nargile work and let us smoke it. It looks like a long pipe which you can see on the left. The point on deciding which one is to buy is buy a big one and test it before you buy as if it's losing some air. Because the key fact in nargile is not to let it lose any air from the system. This one on the left is made of leather and it's a quite good one to choose. So let's get preparing 
our nargile with me to smoke.....

But before we proceed to prepare our nargile, i'd also like to mention about the tobacco and coal which we will be using to prapare our nargile. First the tobacco. Let's make the difference as the normal tabacco and nargile tobacco is compeletely different. So don't try to use ordinary tobacco. And after that the choise of the 
tobacco. The best tobaccos for nargile(with fruit flavour) come from Egpty so if one of your friends visits Egpty don't forget to ask for him/her to bring some tobacco. The most common flavours for the tobacco these days are cherry,apple,cappuchino, coconut, mint, melone etc. The tobacco looks like a sticky and juicy mixture. So pay attention when using tobacco as you can make paint some places around by mistake.  On the left side you see an ordinary nargile tobacco which has apple flavour. And so far the best tobacco i tasted are apple and capuchino.  So this is the end of part I of the nargile and i'll be right back with part II which focuses on how to prepare it. Stay with me.

ABOUT life, ruthlessness, expectations and frustration...

All of us with new hope, new expectations have come to this school. Who is left behind when we came to life on the go. We do not do more to him before we came. Yes, I used to go to college anymore. We were laughing about ten million young people face life and to wriggle from this choice "knowledge-wisdom" had managed to enter one of the slots. Now our front doors "one-one" would be opened. Our environment will be a new, more importantly, our future would be now. Here we came up with all of us imagined a similar basis to our school. But as we all know, most of the university hopes or expectations "disappointed" that became a place for us. Yes we have a very big dream but I hope that we forget the most important aspect of university life "in itself" was the topic. Because of how cruel life outside the school into the truth the first time since we have faced. 

Starting at the university as we look at is different from our previous life, perhaps what we observe the most simple "school or class friendship" has been subject. Because almost everyone in the life of the university as a time to trust someone "stake" is eaten. Especially me, as someone who people think is positive about this issue more than one (okay let's admit too much ..) can be. But this is not very important. In the end, "the stakes of life and ate at the summary" not? This point is also important how or why that affects us from our beginning. Or even goes beyond reason young people are reading each other's university in the dug wells are? The answer is quite simple count read "life and life is" cruel "reality". University will force people to them and the cruel reality of extended vomiting and vaccines so that you have entered the gates of the school after 4 years from now enter that door "people" do not. It truly was a new person and "your self" and all. 

Other than that, as I indicated in my previous article that an important point is that individuals look to the university. As stated at the beginning of the summer everyone different, but similar to the basic purpose of universities has arrived. Many of them also succeeded. But why do some succeed while others fail? The answer to this question is "perspective". In the past month I mentioned that writing for success in this life to be brave and entrepreneurs the most basic "virtues". What Does the university give it to us? Yes it is partly. I need to give my own example, if you've entered this school in 2005 and until now has lived almost ordinary, something that made you think you have a young person. So what has changed in the past 3 years? The answer is simple ... 

University of view / approach 
Ye and at the summary of the stake .. 
If you are successful in life or at least want to be an effective people, we start to life before the "last stop in our" Sort above have two things need to change. 

The first, "in view of the university" nothing can be said about much in fact. Because each individual style and their growing family receives the result of some inherited characteristics, some molds can not get out. This is also perhaps one of nature's most basic rules. Although the small but important changes to make. Because small changes can make a big difference in our future. I understand if you do like about may be more useful. We as young people are our future and that individuals pursue during the jogging back a backpack that we consider. Each obstacle in this condition 

compared with that faced with abandonment or not we are in our backpack we need to get the support we continue our way. But that unfortunately was empty backpack in the area of road congestion is an accepted and "happy end" can not reach. That university education, or life, that you have entered the homestretch education put something in our life we can in our last stop backpack. And forget for the rest of our lives that we had in our backpack we have to manage him. 

Let us come to the second issue .. This can be said about it or nothing can be done much more in fact. Because we are trying to increase feature is only life stage are cast. At least we start our lives as a supernumerary (excluding born lucky). In this case, perhaps the only right thing to do and continually "stakes eating" our fears on the throw. But these people or indifferent-life means not to believe unconditionally. We do, or act contrary to her actions in question to increase awareness and the environment requires us to be weighed will affect. 

As a result, the only thing I want to finish writing something, "Living the life of the school or section you're reading, but the stakes will determine your life at" ...

A different way of living

First, you need to specify this month's article will be before the relatively short, because "voluntary work" requires a lot of my time in the period. This month I'll sneak out to understand a bit:) The reason to extend much more than saying I can not see a purpose. This month, a short excerpt from the book you've read the last transfer, and I'll finish this article. 

Read a name and purpose of the book has a very strange actually. Because the book is called "Airborne Ways for Money". What is not so strange? And everything to earn money in our environment or our system to be successful and our work even more work for some people, this type of summary we write books. I also like everyone else in the book begin with a little pre-trial was approaching. Contrary to the book, but I think it is "the air to make money" instead of the details that I noticed advised to make money. 

I guess I was saying further ado:) Here I will offer you the reading passages and dear I say stay with SEPTEMBER NEWS .... 



A bold ADVENTURE 

Hellen Keller said, "I want courage is nothing if not an adventure!" 

No doubt life is an adventure seeking courage. Rich's approach to life is like here. Life, as they will see a game that they want to win the "What if?" I do not spend time to think. 

You must decide how you want your life to live. This "gift" is a right every morning and decide for yourself whether you'll wake up. 

Some people will choose the safe way, the hard life for them, be regular and predictable when it is good. Others will see life as an adventure and more exciting things every day, trying out new hope, or even need it. This impellent them, give them life and who is not a reason to wake up the morning. 

Estimates are made by selecting the path of life as lived in this format can not be something crazy and not stress. In the same way, can not be foreseen to choose a regular lifestyle and can be estimated from a life sentence is worse. 

Everyone knows him. But when you read these passages you can have one of those fidgety think I'm adventurous. Although from time to time you regret it, not so much choose a risky path, and you wish that you have promised yourself you'd never of the slightest chance that you'll try your luck. 

For some, this is a burden to carry throughout life, you only need to do things for others is. In both cases, the failure of these people, to be criticized and scorned throughout life to be in defiance of "some things perform." Only a few centuries ago it would ban these people or burn. 

The world needs such people because they are not without any progress. Nobody needs to hear or you want to create something that can not be at risk of everything today, the convenience and comfort of the familiar to many owners were not. 

Imagine the following; 

Head of the British Postal Administration engineer 1876'da said, "We have no need to phone a lot because we have the messenger." 

1943 Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM computers in the future recipient of the world will be only five were found in the estimates. 

A comment about IBM's microchip engineer per 1968, which have "What you need?" 

Intel founder Gordon Moore's 1970 loss would be time to say that a home computer. 

Atari and Hewlett-Packard also introduced to them by Apple's innovative idea of turning back the personal computer, and they said they must go to school all over again. 

Bill Gates will be enough for everyone 640K'ık personal computer memory in the direction in 1981, was an estimate. 

BE COURAGEFUL OR NOTHING!

Turkey and Crysis

Hello again after a long search we found an opportunity to voice my corner. The reason for this delay, no doubt due to my laziness I am. Because sometimes, the more people in need of jobs and priority had to do that gömülen do you want to work can be neglected. Anyway, now I want to start writing a refuge for your forgiveness. 

In fact, in this or other posts, such as "critical" seems to be in a language. In this article we do not attack the head with the crisis in our içindemiyiz you're creating? I'd like to share with you about my ideas. First, global economic crisis and tell us why we need to, we all know, especially in 2008 as the second circuit of the wave of the crisis, with news of our country slowly warming crisis, and since last month, "expected" full-fledged crisis in the interior have begun to feel. This crisis is the starting point is always that the United States as world leader (!?#) was spread over the entire world. Surely, the most important reason for this is that perhaps the U.S. has a large economic volume and volatility, and changes occurring in America, especially Europe and Asia, economies can be shown as deeply shaken. When we look at root causes of the crisis in my humble opinion the reason for the crisis Mortgage (mortgage is in fact) market appears to be sudden and violent collapse, but ... But unfortunately not into the face .... My reason for the crisis in my opinion the most logical scenario is shown in the United States 9 / 11 attacks, increased military spending after the serious way. Because you know or the economy of a country into crisis more than any income from the spending is very strong and logical reasons. Thus, the United States since 2002 has been continuously increasing military spending and still found that the continued occupation of Iraq spending is increasing every day. Surely, in this difficult situation, and then spending the U.S. hog akabinde in the world to all. Why? 
This description is also a topic we need to bring too many people around me ask the same question ... How is the currency of a country in crisis and our economy that we valued in the lower-upper? The answer to this question is very simple dear readers. Let us explain a sampling of events follows. When we look at the overall structure of the crisis to crisis, the literature is called "Mortgage Crisis", with the credit and a credit crisis that is at first glance to its name. U.S. 'home loans (mortgage) sector, many families pay the debt and start because of the recession in the economy, credit markets began to compare it to a serious liquidity problem. And this liquidity problem, that could give particular credit do not have economic adequacy of credit institutions by the growing wave is no expense faced with a crisis we have. When we look at this problem from this point of the internal dynamics of the U.S. interests that can be considered to be a problem. Now let's come to this world crisis could be about how the sub-top. This stagnation in the U.S. economy, market and liquidity problems for the solution of the basic economic theory of the state by including the money market liquidity to solve the problem and to relax the market (in Turkey received loans from the IMF and the like) is required. But at this point, the U.S. central bank did not choose to go on the path to coinage. Circulating through the world because you know approximately 70% of foreign currency in U.S. dollars. So this amount of money available within the country as the amount of money in circulation in the same way shows abroad. In this case, if the U.S. central bank to relax the market uses coinage yönetmini this amount of money available to increase significantly, akabinde value of the money will fall and already is a country in crisis can not be taken back problems and will have to wrestle. And here in our country at this point, the dollar value or other countries into crisis, the reason why we have become. U.S. central bank to print money to bet on the market and the more preferred method is simple and seamless as a withdrawal of foreign markets to go yönetmine. In this case, withdrawal of the money in the market as a result, it reduces the amount of foreign currency in the country to increase and if the foreign currency price of an economy depends on the economic crisis is arala doors. And the situation in our country at this time I think I could explain. Now let's get busy with our agenda for approximately two weeks to the IMF agreement. Revival of the economy and especially the decline in bank interest rates, the dollar to fall and by fire, it is quite logical to say that the IMF's "ümük tighten the" government of the country once again fate in the hands of foreigners to leave and signed the agreement with IMF. However, an interesting case, however, the economic crisis in the country's first section (tangential to the previous section) is over and the country towards the enforcement of the old course and has started to go to tweak the agreement was signed to be hidden from the public? In this regard, all the commentators and I am sure that many people's heads are mixed. Let .. s What Turkey is better ...
