Christiania has established semi-legal status as an independent community, but has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its open cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, measures for normalising the legal status of the community have led to conflicts, and negotiations are ongoing. Among many Christiania residents, the community is known as staden ('the town'), short for fristaden ('the freetown). The Community Meditation and yoga have always been popular among the Christianites, and for many years Christiania had their own internationally acclaimed theater group Solvognen, who, beyond their theater performances, also staged many happenings in Copenhagen and even throughout Sweden. Ludvigsen had always talked of the acceptance of drug-addicts who could no longer cope with regular society, and the spirit of that belief has still not diminished, even throughout many problems sprouted due to drug traffic and use (mostly of hard drugs, however, which are illegal in Christiania). These addicts head into and remain in Christiania all the time and are considered just as much a part of the Freetown as the entrepreneurs, and for this reason many Danes have seen Christiania as a successful social experiment. However, for years the legal status of the region has been in a limbo due to different Danish governments attempting to remove the Christianites. Such attempts at removal have all been unsuccessful so far. The neighbourhood is accessible through many entrances and cars are not allowed (although some Christiania residents own a car, see below). Danish authorities have repeatedly removed the large stones blocking the main entrance claiming they need access to the area for fire trucks and ambulances in the event of a fire or medical emergency, yet the residents respond by placing them back each time as they feel suspicious that the authorities will instead use it for police operations. This suspicion is backed by the fact that they have already made arrangements with the Copenhagen Fire Department, which also operates the ambulances in Copenhagen, and have established other entranceways and maneuvering spaces for fire trucks and ambulances in the area. The people in Christiania have developed their own set of rules, independently of the Danish government. The rules forbid stealing, violence, guns, knives, bulletproof vests and hard drugs. Famous for its main drag, known as Pusher Street, where hash and Skunk weed were sold openly from permanent stands until 2004, it nevertheless does have rules forbidding hard drugs, such as cocaine, speed, ecstasy and heroin. The commerce is controversial, but since the rules require a consensus they cannot be removed unless everybody agrees. The region negotiated an arrangement with the Danish defence ministry (which still owns the land) in 1995. Since 1994, residents have paid taxes and fees for water, electricity, trash disposal, etc. The future of the area remains in doubt, though, as Danish authorities continue to push for its removal. On Pusher Street, cameras are not allowed, and locals will wave their hands and shout "No photo!" if they see someone trying to take a picture.]]> Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:05:46 GMT http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-ENa9_NwlerTM5opiyh0E?p=475 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:59:18 GMT http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-ENa9_NwlerTM5opiyh0E?p=472 ... and then, in "the doors"

Daca vrei sa fii un bucurestean veritabil trebuie sa tii cont de urmatoarele recomandari privind circulatia pe drumurile publice:
* Semnificatia culorilor semaforului:
- verde - treci fara probleme
- galben - repede ca se pune rosu
- rosu - repede, ca e ultima sansa pina sa le dea drumul celorlalti.
* Daca este coada la stop si un sir lung de masini, iti recomandam tehnica “sirului shuntat”. In acest scop, mergi pe contrasens pe toata lungimea cozii de masini, pana ajungi la stop si apoi in virtutea prioritatii de smecher (vezi si punctul anterior) reintri in coloana, in pole-position.
* Daca te afli al doilea la semafor, in secunda in care apare culoarea verde, trebuie sa apesi pe claxon, cat mai lung si mai insistent, pentru a-l zori pe mocaitul din fata. Un claxon viguros este expresia unei personalitati puternice deci, nu ezita!
* Daca esti prima masina de la stop si cineva te claxoneaza imediat cum se pune verde, opreste motorul, ia-ti bata de baseball (obligatorie, se tine sub scaun), da-te jos din masina, du-te la cel care te-a claxonat si sparge-i fata.
* Pe timp de noapte circula obligatoriu cu faza lunga. Poti folosi faza lunga si ziua, atunci cand mergi cu viteza.
* Daca circuli noaptea si o masina vine din fata cu faza lunga, baga-i si tu faza lunga in fata, de cateva ori, intermitent. Farurile cu halogen dau efecte atat distractive cat si psihedelice.
* Daca inaintea ta se afla cineva cu o masina care merge mai incet claxoneaza-l si baga-i faza lunga in ochi: sa se duca dracului acasa daca are masina si merge ca mortu’.
* Folositi claxonul cat mai mult, mai nervos si in mai multe tonalitati. Injura cu sete. Arata-i degetul mijlociu. Intai mana stanga, apoi ambele - in Bucuresti se poate conduce tinand volanul cu genunchii.

"Cel mai inalt pom de Craciun din Europa, bradul Millennium din Piata Unirii din Bucuresti, va produce in perioada 1 decembrie 2007-6 ianuarie 2008 mai mult de 111 tone de dioxid de carbon, informeaza green-report.ro. Bradul, care are 76 de metri inaltime, 38 de metri diametru si cantareste 290 tone, este compus din 2,4 milioane de beculete si 144 de panouri de lumini. Consumul de energie este 500-560 de kW pe ora, potrivit informatiilor furnizate de oficialii bancii si de cei ai Primariei Capitalei. In conformitate cu aceste date, intr-o singura zi, bradul consuma 4,48 MW in zilele de sambata si duminca, cand luminile sunt aprinse opt ore si 3,92 MW pe zi, in celelalte zile, cand bradul este aprins 7 ore pe zi. In aceste conditii, un calcul simplu arata ca bradul Millenium consuma, in aceasta perioada de functionare, 151,76 de MW. Potrivit informatiilor furnizate de SC Electrica Muntenia Sud privind eticheta energiei electrice (737 g/kWh), pentru producerea a 151 de MW sunt eliminate 111,84 tone de CO2. "In primavara anului 2008, Banca Millennium va demara un proiect de natura ecologica pentru a compensa emisiile de carbon determinate de energia consumata pentru iluminarea Bradului din piata Unirii. Proiectul presupune plantarea unui numar de brazi ce urmeaza a fi estimat in functie de consumul de energie al Bradului de Craciun", au anuntat reprezentantii Millennium Bank. Pentru ca 100 de tone de dioxid de carbon sa fie absorbite ar trebui plantate aproape 30 de hectare cu gorun sau 20 de hectare cu molid, iar arborii respectivi sa fie ingrijiti cel putin 5 ani, considera Dana Caratas, reprezentantul WWF Programul Dunare-Carpati Romania."

Si-atunci iar ne gandim la mare,
Unde distractia e tare!

Vreau sa fie vara iar, doar pentru noi doi!
Cineva sa ne aduca vara inapoi!
Sa stam iar pe plaja goi, doar noi amandoi!

]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:50:01 GMT http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-ENa9_NwlerTM5opiyh0E?p=450 Tie-dye is typically brightly colored, patterned textile or clothing which is made from ordinary cloth, usually cotton, through a resist dyeing process known as tie-dyeing. This is the modern version of a traditional dyeing method, used in many cultures in Asia and Africa. Tie-dyeing was briefly very fashionable in the West in the late 1960s and early 1970s, as part of hippie style.
Tie-dyeing
Tie-dye used as stage decor, Snoqualmie Moondance festival (1992)

The basic process is to tie up the material before applying dye in such a way that the dye only reaches part of the area to which it is applied. The boundaries of the dyed and non-dyed areas are usually rather blurred, as the dye has begun to soak into the non-dyed sections.

During tie-dyeing, if a good fiber reactive dye is used, a chemical reaction takes place which permanently bonds the colorful dye to the fabric, making tie-dye safe to wash amongst other, non-tie-dyed clothes once the excess dye has been removed. As the name suggests, the fabric is tied, usually with string or rubber bands, after being folded into a particular pattern. Some areas, where the textile is tied and in inner parts of folds, do not absorb dye as readily, forming a pattern. This is known as a resist technique (the areas that are tied and the inner parts of folds resist dyeing).

Patterns are also formed by applying different color dyes to different sections of the fabric. Next, the folded and tied textile may be submerged in a bath of soda ash solution for 5-30 minutes. Submerging the fabric in a solution of soda ash, which has a high pH, prepares the cellulose fibers of the cloth for permanent chemical bonding with the acidic fiber-reactive dye used in tie-dyeing. Dye is then applied, either by submerging the cloth bundle in a bath of dye or by squirting dyes onto specific areas of the fabric.

Alternatively, the soda ash may be added directly to the dye solution rather than soaking the textile in a solution of soda ash. With this technique the dye must be used within about two hours as the soda ash within the dye solution will react with the dye.

After 12-48 hours, depending temperature, dye, and the desired brightness of the final product, the fabric can be unwrapped and rinsed. After working out the excess dye under running water, tie-dye should be washed in a washing machine. A detergent called Synthrapol is preferred by many dyers, although any neutral detergent may be used. Excessively alkaline detergents may cause back staining.

Dyes

Although many different kinds of dyes may be used, most tie-dyers now dye with Procion MX fiber reactive dyes. This class of dyes works at warm room temperatures and the molecules bind with cellulose based fibers (cotton, rayon, hemp, linen) permanently when the pH is raised. Soda ash (sodium carbonate) is generally used to raise the pH and is either added directly to the dye, or in a solution of water in which garments are soaked before dyeing. They do not fade with washing, but sunlight will cause the colors to fade over time.

Traditional tie-dye

Shibori includes a form of tie-dye that originated in Japan. It has been practiced there since at least the eighth century. Shibori includes a number of labor-intensive resist techniques including stitching elaborate patterns and tightly gathering the stitching before dyeing, forming intricate designs for kimonos. Another shibori method is to wrap the fabric around a core of rope, wood or other material, and bind it tightly with string or thread. The areas of the fabric that are against the core or under the binding would remain undyed.

Tie-dye techniques have also been used for centuries in the Hausa region of West Africa, with renowned indigo dye pits located in and around Kano, Nigeria. The tie-dyed clothing is then richly embroidered in traditional patterns. It has been argued that the Hausa techniques were the inspiration for the hippie fashion.

Plangi and tritik are Malay-Indonesian words for methods related to tie-dye, and bandhna is a term from India. Ikat is a method of tie-dying the warp or weft before the cloth is woven.

In the 20th Century, tie-dye became associated with the Hippie movement.

Mudmee Tie-dye
Mudmee tie-dye from Thailand

From mudmee silk, mainly created in Thailand, developed mudmee tie-dye which displays unique shapes and patterns. Mostly found on the big markets in Bangkok, Thailand, the artists creating their garments, keep their specific artistry confidential.

There are very few vendors of these garments present in the United States. The most authoritative tie-dye site on the web pburch.net, shows some samples of mudmee tie-dye and also mentions the most prevalent site bringing this type of tie-dyed garments into the Western World - ThaiDye.com.

This type of tie-dye is characterized by its softer forms and bigger variety of shapes and patterns. Colors used are often subdued and many items are found that are restricted to only one or two colors. The use of black as a base color results in tones that are hardly seen in the traditional hippie-era tie dye.

Another element that made the hippie-era tie-dye so recognizable - the big spiral - is hardly ever used by the mudmee tie-dye artist.

Folds and patterns

Below is a list of common modern tie-dying folds and patterns.

Bullseye

Bullseyes involve a central point which is bound, as though poking the fabric with a finger or stick then binding the protusion every 1-2 inches. Usually different color dyes are applied to each bound section to create rings of color. A similar technique to this is twisting and binding.

Spiral

Spiral patterns involve pleats of fabric arranged in swirls around a central point, bundled into a round bun often resembling a cinnamon bun or a snail's shell. Different wedges of the circular bun are dyed different colors.

V

The 'V' shape achieved by folding a shirt in half vertically, then a line is drawn diagonally from the shoulder area down to the center fold of the shirt. The fabric is then accordion folded along the line and bound into one or more areas to which the dye is applied.

Random

This category can hold several different patterns, the majority of which have nothing to do with each other; they can be combinations or they can be as chaotic as bundling the item to be dyed to resemble a plucked chicken.
