Well, for once President Bush has moved in a direction that I don’t think is half bad. He’s planning on overhauling the Endangered Species Act.
It’s about time.
Under the new regs, the mandatory amount of reviews required to assess whether or not a development project affects an endangered species will be reduced, and federal [...]ShareThis
When you think of the words Future Hippie what comes to mind? If you said my vintage clothing shop......EXCELLENT! But there is also something very significant about the title "Future Hippie". It defines a person from the next generation that is embracing the hippie attitude. Maybe not to the point of living communally or burning bras, but definitely adopting past opinions about politics, fashion,
The software is Windows-only, sadly, and the keyboard comes without a standard numeric keypad. That'll cost you an extra $35, and it doesn't light up. But with the main keyboard costing just $200, it's one eighth the price of Art Lebedev's funky keyboard offering. Available in black or white, with the white model having translucent keys.Thinkgeek via Gizmodo
is a brilliant idea by some brilliant minds: Blow up someones car, try to kill him, use that same violence that he used on the animals you think you're saving; equals = idea genius. And that is because these people (mostly white Americans, probably dissidents of German ancestors) try and be, through some fantasy, made up ideal in their head of what they believe a Native American, or a British g
Well, it could happen... if the Men In Black use their authority and power to beat down The People who are exercising their right to assembly and free speech.It seems that someone out there has come to believe in a weapon that will be (or has been?) used on protesters by emitting a sound that so disturbs the human body that holding in that burrito you had at lunch is an impossibility."Political ac
Por Etoile._______________________________________Fue un movimiento juvenil que empezó en los años 60’s y 70’s y que se caracterizó por la anarquía no violenta, la preocupación por el medio ambiente, el rechazo al materialismo, capitalismo y consumismo occidental. Su estilo psicodélico y lleno de colorido estaba inspirado por drogas alucinógenas como el ácido lisérgico (LSD) y se plas
The Hippie movement in the late 60's, sparked a political, social, and fashion revolution. The kids of that generation stood up for what they believed in, they made their voices heard, and most of all...they partied their asses off!In recent years there seems to be a passion being ignited once again. People want to express themselves creatively and not conform to mainstream ideas. They want a sens
To say the least, my first day to Pai (AllAboutPai.com, PaiThailand.info, PaiTown.com) was an adventure. My friend--Pat--and I had booked a mini bus trip to Pai a couple days before we had planned to leave. On Saturday morning, we left from the Old City in Chiang Mai and a three hour ride put us in Pai by 4 p.m. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay so we could get around quickly (rental shops were easy to find and had affordable rates). After finding our mode of transportation we decided to find a comfortable place to stay for the night; and a row of bungalows along the Pai River suited us fine. Finally, it was time to get out and see some of the surrounding area. Pai is located in a valley, and green-covered mountains rise around it. For our first stop, we decided to head to a wa
Macaroni and cheese is pretty much the epitome of comfort food. But what's a gluten-free vegan to do? We need comfort too! I've found over the past few years that I'll still be drawn by the siren call of the soft pasta... the gooey unnaturally-orange cheese mixture... but I know that if I give in an chow down on it, I'll regret it right away. Bloat - bleh! There is pre-packaged vegan mac and cheese out there, too, but they definitely leave something to be desired. I had to find a home-made alternative! When I started making the cashew cream, it occurred to me that I could thicken it with nutritional yeast, which gives a nice cheesy flavor to things. Starting from a base of rice pasta, and adding the cashew cheese, and some additional flavors - I found the perfect blend. I hope you, too, wi
With all that talk about hippies yesterday, it's quite fitting that the iTunes on shuffle served up some absolute hippie-repellent today...Yep, some straight-up Black Panther style hip-hop should have 'em shakin' in their Birkenstocks... we're talkin' Dead Prez, the Florida rappers that would kick your ass long before they handed you a flower, bee-lee dat, Whitey! And these guys are pretty darn good, especially for their forward-thinking beat selection... definitely no run-of-the-mill beats on a Dead Prez record. This song's probably their biggest hit, and that might have something to do with Dave Chappelle picking it as his theme song... just sayin'...Dead Prez - Hip-Hop (ysi)Take that, ya patchouli-reekin' tree-huggers!
Whilst here at TFTS Towers we tend to positively salivate over just about any gadget that takes the iconic Lego brick as its inspiration we cannot help but wonder quite who would buy this DIY Lego Inspired Block Tower Light when you could simply make your own with the real McCoy.

1970�s was period of evolution and revolution. In every corner of the world they were public outcry for social and political reformation. It was also a period of Cultural Revolution. At that time most of the youth in that 20�s wherein a mood to spend money without any aim and most of them kept a passion for http://www.anymusicdownloads.com">music and dancing. As a youth you are preparing to have a relaxing time keeping behind the week of work behind you and also the stresses of life you pretend to be a prince of the European country clad in the finest suits available and following and equivalent dress code. As if you are going to give a public speech.You take almost an hour to set your hair right and you Jung in to the Chevy Nova owned by you and you go to pick up your girl friend. These kind of carefree youth and dare devils with no care attitude were common in the 1960�s but this attitude came to an end by the end of the said decade. There was a vast change in the style of clot
I was visiting my lady friend in E-burg this weekend and came across this sign in one of the local shop windows. I am pretty sure this place didn’t even have a back door. You’ve gotta love small towns.

Old hippies not burning out or fading away...just going "Furthur..."Happening today..."...it’s on to Lowell, MA, hometown of Jack Kerouac, for a very special event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Kerouac’s great and hugely influential novel, On The Road. Before the performance, Bob Weir and Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally (who also wrote Desolate Angel, an acclaimed Kerouac biography) will take to the stage to discuss Kerouac and Neal Cassady, who was immortalized in the novel as Dean Moriarity and would later be a pivotal force in the formative years of the Grateful Dead, as primary driver (“Cowboy Neal at the wheel”) of the legendary Merry Pranksters bus known as “Furthur.” "http://www.dead.net/features/news/help-way-ratdog-kimock-steps-karan

Apologies loyal readers, but Monsieur Stuff has just left again and later this week I’ll be making the glorious trek to visit him in the UK. With this in mind I have a spectacular five back-to-back weekends in his company and I’m back in nesting mode. In essence, this means you [...]
I posted to Mothering, a parenting board, the same thing I wrote in my Four AM post. The thread was removed for “promoting cry-it-out”
The message I got: Hi there! I wanted to let you know that your thread titled “At the breaking point” has been removed from Life with a Babe. I’m very sorry you’re having a rough time, but we don’t allow threads that promote letting babies cry it out. Please feel free to let me know if I misinterpreted your post, or to start a new thread asking for advice on how to avoid CIO.
And my response: Well, you’ve managed to make me utterly livid. I spend all night up alone with a crying baby, patting, nursing, rocking, soothing and at 4 AM I put her down because I need a break and, when I ask for sympathy, you have the nerve to interpret that as promoting CIO!? This may be news to you perfect little hippies at Mothering, but it is a hell of a lot better to walk away from a child and let her cry for a few minute

I know this guy, who is possibly the world's worst driver. He has never killed anyone, but putting him in the driver's seat, is almost as bad as letting a former owner of the Texas Rangers run America.To give the driving public a brief respite, his license has been suspended for a bit. And the guy is moaning and groaning.His big lament is he "wants to feel like an American over the age of 16."And I think that is the crux of the opposition to the global warming concept.The only people in America who are wildly enthusiastic about squeezing the free wheeling high, that conspicuous energy consumption gives us, are hippies, who get a real charge out of skipping a greenhouse-gas-producing hot shower.And so the whole idea becomes emotionally charged ,even before Al Gore trots out, and wishes to make the Kyoto Accord the second Sermon on the Mount.Then to make it worse, the issue immediately draws out the supporters of Big Brother government, who relish the idea of imposing further laws
High fashion is going granola. But not the grunge of hippie yoga wear and grainy hemp T-shirts typically associated with organic clothes.Think soft soy dresses, cropped organic terry jackets and slim fit organic denim jeans to pair with stilettos, not flip flops. Organic cotton, which makes up 95 percent of organic fabrics, is the driving force behind the trend. Global organic cotton sales increased 119 percent, from $245 million to $583 million between 2001 and 2005. Sales are expected to reach more than $2 billion by the end of 2008, according to the Organic Exchange, a nonprofit trade association that works to expand the use of organically grown cotton.

Right here we go then. It's been a while since the last post and indeed since anything happened on the site. That is all about to change with loads of sessions ready to be posted over the next few months. Thanks to everyone who has been in touch asking about the future of The Perfumed Garden, all I can say is watch this space.Down to business then. This is the one and only session recorded by Liverpool's finest noise terrorists The Electro Hippies. Information about the band is scarce and my knowledge is poor to say the least. Some of this session appeared on the wonderfull Hardcore Holocaust album which I'm tempted to post on this site at some point in the near future. Anyway enjoy the session.
