Asigurari RCA ieftine | Util pentru soferi
Asigurari obligatorii (RCA) ieftine
880.000 lei vechi pe sase luni la BCR Asigurari
M-am lovit si eu de asta, in urma cu cateva zile.
Step 1: intreb colegii de la Daewoo Club Tirgu Mures pe unde si-au facut asigurarea.
Step 2: Caut si alte oferte
Step 3: Compar preturile
Asa am dat de Asigurari Online.
Era sa uit de ei, dar am primit newsletterul de la www.anuntul.biz, unde anuntau asigurari record la BCR Asigurari.
BCR Asigurari - 345 milioane lei in primul semestru
BCR ASIGURARI a subscris, in primul semestru al anului 2007, prime brute in valoare de peste 345 milioane lei (aproximativ 109 milioane euro), in crestere cu 85% fata de aceeasi perioada a anului 2006.
Clasele de asigurari care au inregistrat cresteri semnificative au fost asigurarile de daune pentru proprietati si bunuri, asigurarile auto, asigurarile echipamentelor electronice, asigurarile de masini, utilaje si instalatii pentru cazurile de avarii accidentale si asigurarea lucrarilor de constructii montaj toate riscurile si raspunderea constructorului. BCR ASIGURARI opereaza exclusiv in sectorul asigurarilor generale, printr-o retea cu 148 unitati teritoriale, oferind clientilor sai persoane fizice si juridice, o gama completa de produse.
Preocuparea permanenta pentru satisfacerea nevoii de protectie si furnizarea de asistenta post-vanzare au determinat implementarea unui sistem de despagubire modern, cu componenta instant (plata despagubirii in maxim 48 h), care vine in intampinarea clientilor in scopul facilitarii si cresterii eficientei procesului de acordare a despagubirilor. BCR Asigurari are un capital social de 30 milioane lei.
Nici nu ma mir si le doresc sa le mearga tot asa, pentru ca atat din documentare pe diverse siteuri cat mai ales utilizand modulul de Comparare preturi asigurarari RCA, Banca Comerciala Romana pare sa aiba cele mai mici preturi.
Partea care mi-a placut la prima vedere a fost ca pretul dat din site era exact cel oferit de asigurator. Sper sa il trec la Analiza Website din Forumul Underclick, pentru ca pare un site de calitate si merita sa fie retinut.
Deci pentru soferii mureseni: Sediul BCR Central, etaj 2. Dureaza maxim 10 minute si au aer conditionat. Nu cred ca se poate achita cu card de credit (nu am vazut nici un POS), dar recunosc ca nu am intrebat.
Celor din alte orase, filiala BCR corespunzatoare.
Am vazut si alte oferte cu diverse bonusuri incluse (benzina, asigurari de casa, alte bonusuri...) dar care luate la bani marunti depasesc cu mult oferta BCR de asigurari RCA, diferentele ajungand la 300-500 000 lei vechi.
Taxa de drum am luat-o de la posta de pe Pandurilor, sub 700 mii lei vechi pe an.
ps: rugamintea privind Inchirieri Auto Mures ramane valabila.

Ceaiuri
Sursa: Ceainaria Teehaus Brasov
Ritualul servirii unei cesti de ceai a fost o sursa de fascinatie si placere timp de mai mult de un secol si jumatate.
Legenda – si cele mai multe surse – il crediteaza pe imparatul chinez Shen Nung ( secolul 28 I.C.) ca descoperitor al ceaiului. Un om pretentios, obisnuia sa bea doar apa fiarta convins fiind ca astfel va fi protejat de bolile timpului. Intr-o buna zi, in timp ce facea un tur al provinciilor, Shen Nung a cerut servitorilor sa-i fiarba apa. Acestia au facut focul folosind lemnele unui tufis de camelii din apropiere. Luate de vant, cateva din frunzele plantei au cazut in apa care fierbea. Atentia imparatului a fost atrasa de aroma care se raspandea din ceasca. Captivat de gustul si prospetimea bauturii, imparatul a stiut imediat ca a descoperit ceva de o mare importanta.
Din cele mai vechi timpuri
Frunzele ceailui negru sunt fermentate si trec prin doua procese. Mai întâi frunzele sunt puse pe rafturi, sunt incalzite cu aer cald apoi expuse la aer fierbinte. Acest procedeu da culoarea neagra a frunzelor. Cu un continut mai ridicat de cofeina decat al ceaiurilor verzi, ceaiul negru contine totusi mai putina cofeina decât cafeaua.
Ceaiul verde este ceaiul nefermentat. Frunzele ceaiului nu sunt expuse aerului fierbinte. Ceaiurile verzi au cea mai delicata aroma din toate ceaiurile. Preferat a se servi simplu, fara lamâie sau zahar, ceaiurile verzi se spune ca sunt capabile sa linisteasca durerile de stomac. Atat ceaiul verde cat si cel negru contin o cantitate importanta de antioxidanti, numiti flavanoizi. Exista un numar mare de dovezi care confirma faptul ca flavanoizii joaca un rol extrem de important în protejarea organismului impotriva bolilor cardiovasculare si a cancerului.
Un consum mediu zilnic de 650 ml (4-5 cani), asigura 9% din totalul zilnic necesar de vitamina B1, 25% din totalul zilnic necesar de vitamina B2, 6% din totalul zilnic necesar de vitamina B6 si 10% din totalul zilnic necesar de acid folic.

Yugoslavia | Novi Fosili - Ja Sam Za Ples
Ca idee, e vorba de cele doua videoclipuri Novi Fosili, muzica yugoslava de calitate, trupa participantala Eurovision din partea Yugoslaviei in 1987. Cam 20 de ani.
De remarcat hainele comode din videoclipul al doilea: exact, pantalonii gen piramide.
Videoclipuri Novi Fosili - Ja Sam Za Ples Eurovision 1987
Dzej Ramadanovski - Hej mala malena
Si acum alegeti: sa fie sarbeasca sau romaneasca? Schimbati doar cuvintele, acelasi efect garantat.
Muzica tiganeasca, foarte apreciata atat de romanii cat si de alte nationalitati din Orsova, la nunti sau nedei. Poate acum manelele au un plus de noutate, dar muzica buna, ramane muzica buna.
In plus, Banatul ramane fruncea, oriunde ar fi.

Yugoslavia la Eurovision
Pana atunci am gasit un videoclip dragut cu formatiile yugoslave participante la Eurovision, in perioada 1981-1992
Cica mai e un youtube eurovision Yugoslavia 1963-1990.
Favoritii mei : Novi Fosili - Ja Sam Za Ples
Pacat ca pe parcurs s-au impartit in Slovenia, Coatia, Bosnia...
Yugoslavia | muzica sarbesca
Videoclipul urmator de exemplu: Srbija se umirit ne moze
Pentru ca e "acasa"?
Pentru ca e buna?
Pentru ca Orsova e parte din Banatul Sarbesc?
Nu am fost acasa sa vad daca de Sfantul Ilie a fost nedeie. De obicei se facea undeva in Nord. Si de fiecare data Sfantul Ilie pornea cu carul pe cer si dadea cu biciul, adica furtuna cu fulegere obisnuite in acea zi.
Dar vine iar Sfanta Marie mica in Magrini, pe 8-9 septembrie. Poate se va face anul asta.
Acolo de obicei cantau muzica de acest gen. In videoclip oamenii par sa joace moravatul, foarte cunoscut de orsoveni.
Ca parere personala, am un respect deosebit pentru poporul iugoslav si cel american: oameni care simt viata, care stiu sa se distreze, oameni veseli si prietenosi. Nu am inteles niciodata bombardamentele din Bosnia si ulterior din Yugoslavia, dar cu o remarca din The X Files, "adevarul e mai presus decat noi".
Alphaville - versuri, videoclip, istorie
Uite cum ajunge omu' sa vada un videoclip dupa 20 de ani :) : Alphaville
Un ochi aruncat pe wiki spune ca s-au lansat din anii '80. Si sunt nemtisori
M-am uitat cum erau imbracati atunci, cum ce vroiau sa atraga publicul (cu exceptia muzicii extraordinare). Am remarcat... pantalonii gen piramide.
Pe timpuri a fost o moda a blugilor pyramide: Largi sus si ingusti jos. Sincer, foarte practici, nu iti flendareau bucati de material inutile ca la pantalonii evazati care se purtau pana nu demult.
Imi amintesc ca erau croitorese specializate pentru modificarea blugilor obisnuiti ca sa dea forma de piramide.
Nebunie mare si atunci. Ca prea putini aveau/gaseau blugi, e alta poveste. Dar Yugoslavia era aproape si piata era plina.
Similar cu Serialul TV Dynasty, ma intrebasem de ce nu vedem prea des astfel de videoclipuri sau seriale (care incontestabil si-au dovetit calitatea in timp) la actualele televiziuni oferite de serviciile de CATV.
Dupa o mica documentare, explicatia pare insa sa fie simpla: plasarea reclamelor contextuale.
Probabil e destul de greu sa faci reclama (doar televiziunea respectiva e societate comerciala sin din asta traieste) unui autoturism de ultima generatie, in contextul unui film cu superbe autoturisme din anii 1980, sau unui iPod, (i...mobile cu "N" melodii polifonice sau ce o mai fi), imediat dupa un videoclip de acum 20 de ani, total diferit de piata actuala.
OK, pentru vanzari de "best old music" e perfect, lucru care se si vede pe posturile de televiziune specializate (unde or fi? cati mai au in grila VH1?), dar cu atata muzica noua si bani investiti in promovarea ei... lumea trebuie sa cumpere ce e trendy. Acest lucru mi-a fost confirmat de o amica, in timp ce ma cautam cideoclipuri cu Novi Fosili si Bjaga I instructori.
Tocmai isi cumparase un telefon mobil nou, Samsung X830

sorin frumuseanu (7/22/2007 1:58:31 PM): dar m-au lasat acumulatorii
...
Nu prea am priceput cu ce vroia sa ma ajute. Eventual pe micutii japonezi stresati de tehnologii avansate, care au ajuns pana la acumulatori pe baza de hidrogen, ca sa dea mai mult curent.
Orice ai face, un acumulator Litiu ion nu are cum sa scoata mai mult curent, asta e chimia si basta.
Daca se documenta mai bine, vedea si cat timp poate vorbi la un telefon Samsung X830, cate fotografii poate sa faca si nu in ultimul rand de sensibil e la socuri.
Evident, cu acelasi acumulator. De puterea semnalului nici nu se pune problema in comparatie cu Nokia 5110. Eventual cu o baterie de dacie in spate...
Pe postul de televiziune Antena 2 vazusem o emisiune unde, printre altele, se discuta si despre telefonul de 2X mii euro al domului Diaconescu de la OTV.
Probabil ca astfel de telefoane mobile arata bine pe masa, la diverse party, dar din punct de vedere functional (ca telefon mobil) iti mai trebuie inca unul cu adevarat bun, respectiv Nokia 5110.
Dar asta e reclama, asta trebuie sa se vanda si cum spunea un tip la referinte, pareri, impresii: e telefon de fitze. De remarcat si faptul ca se aude mai slab: nu de flori de cucu ci pentru ca sunetul mai puternic inseamna mai mult curent consumat. Si de unde sa mai iasa din micutul acumulator?
In plus, este un produs "all in one". Cei care lucreaza mai mult cu computerele, stiu ca orice echipament IT all in one e mult mai ieftin decat fiecare componenta luata separat, pornind de la placile de baza pana la renumitele "multifunctionale". Ups... asta nu se spune in reclame ca nu da bine
Dar sa revenim la adevaratele valori, muzica buna: Forever Young, alaturi de inca doua videoclipuri, prea putin cunoscute: Big In Japan si Sounds Like A Melody.

Versuri Alphaville - Forever Young | |
Let's dance in style, Let's dance for a while Heaven can wait, We're only watching the skies Hoping for the best But expecting the worst Are you going to drop the bomb or not???? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power But we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, Life is a short trip The music's for the sad men Can you imagine when this race is won?? Turn our golden faces into the sun Praising our leaders, We're getting in tune The music's played by the madmen Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever -- and ever Some are like water Some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later, they all will be gone Why don't they stay young? It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth's like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever So many adventures couldn't happen today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue We'll let them come true Forever young... | |
Versuri Alphaville - Big In Japan | Versuri Alphaville - Sounds Like A Melody |
Winter's cityside Crystal bits of snowflakes All around my head and in the wind I had no illusions That I'd ever find a glimpse Of summer's heat waves in your eyes You did what you did to me Now it's history I see Here's my comeback on the road again Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when you're big in Japan Aha when you're big in Japan -- tonight... Big in Japan -- be tight... Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan -- alright, Pay! -- Then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh when you're big in Japan Neon on my naked skin, passing silhouettes Of strange illuminated mannequins Shall I stay here at the zoo Or should I go and change my point of view For other ugly scenes You did what you did to me Now it's history I see Things will happen while they can I will wait here for my man tonight It's easy when you're big in Japan Aah when you're big in Japan -- tonight... Big in Japan -- be tight... Big in Japan... ooh the eastern sea's so blue Big in Japan -- alright, Pay! -- Then I'll sleep by your side Things are easy when you're big in Japan Oh when you're big in Japan | It's a trick of my mind Two faces bathing in the screenlight She's so soft and warm in my arms I tune it into the scene My hands are resting on her shoulders When we're dancing away for a while Oh we're moving, we're falling, We step into the fire By the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream There's no reason to hurry Just start that brand new story Set it alight, we're head over heels in love, Head over heels... The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once forbidden places We'll go for a while It's the definite show Our shadows resting in the moonlight It's so clear and bright in your eyes It's the touch of your sighs My lips are resting on your shoulder When we're moving so soft and slow We need the ecstasy, the jealousy, The comedy of love Like the Cary Grants and Kellys once before Give me more tragedy, more harmony And fantasy, my dear And set it alight, just starting that satellite Set it alight... The ringing of your laughter It sounds like a melody To once forbidden places, We'll go for a while |
Alphaville |
Beginnings
In 1984 the re-named Alphaville released their debut single "Big in Japan", followed by "Sounds Like a Melody" and "Forever Young", quickly followed by the album Forever Young. Despite its success Frank Mertens left the band in the same year and was replaced by Ricky Echolette (born Wolfgang Neuhaus, in Cologne, August 6, 1960) in January 1985 - already credited in "Forever Young" album.
"Big In Japan" was their biggest U.S. and UK success, shooting to #1 on Billboard's Dance chart, number 8 on the official UK chart and #1 on the German Charts, in Switzerland and in Sweden, #2 in Italy and in the Netherlands, #3 in Norway, #4 in Austria and Ireland, #5 in South Africa and #13 in France. While they never again achieved a UK Top 20 hit, in the U.S. several of their releases went Top 40 on the American Dance charts. They were less successful at mainstream U.S. radio, reflected by their showing on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles charts, where "Big" only reached #66. The next single "Sounds like a Melody" reached the top 10 in Austria, Turkey, Germany, Italy, France, South Africa, Norway, Sweden (#1) and Switzerland where Alphaville had a huge success. The first U.S. release of the following single "Forever Young" failed to scale the charts, even it was again a Top 10 hit in Germany, Turkey, Italy, South Africa, Norway, Sweden (#1) and Switzerland in 1984/1985. A fourth single, "The Jet Set", from their debut album gave them another German, Swiss and Swedish charts hit.
In that year, amid reports pop star Laura Branigan was featuring the song on her next album, Hold Me, Alphaville's "Forever Young" was re-released as a single in the U.S., and again floundered in the lower recesses of the chart. Branigan's version, though promoted on stickers adorning the album, subsequently remai
ned an album cut in the U.S., though it was released to radio in South America. She would go on to perform the song as an encore at nearly every concert she performed, from her 1985 tour until her death in 2004. The Alphaville version was released a third time in the U.S. in 1988, to promote Alphaville: The Singles Collection, and peaked this time at #65. Their highest U.S. Singles chart showing, it was also their last. International re-releases of Alphaville's "Forever Young" followed in 1989, 1996, and 2001. Several covers have been recorded and remixed, featuring male or female vocalists often erroneously attributed to be Alphaville's Marian Gold, or Laura Branigan. "Forever Young" was performed by Kiki and Herb as part of their show Alive From Broadway.[1]
Afternoons in Utopia
In 1986 the second album Afternoons in Utopia was successfully released and its first single "Dance with me" was a big international Top 20 hit (#4 in Norway, #4 in South Africa, #5 in Sweden, #9 in Switzerland, #11 in Germany, #14 in France, etc.). The album spawned two more minor hits in Germany and Switzerland, "Universal Daddy" and "Jerusalem". This LP was followed in 1989 by The Breathtaking Blue, including the highly acclaimed singles (if not so successful chart hits) "Romeos" and "Mysteries of Love". The album was released as a CD+G, including black & white stills with original lyrics and German translation. As an alternative to individual music videos, the band enlisted nine producers, among them Godfrey Reggio (Koyaanisqatsi), to create a film entitled Songlines based on the album's tracks.
The next album, Prostitute, was not released until 1994. In 1996 Ricky Echolette left the band. Salvation, a back-to-the-root opus, followed in 1997. Stark Naked and Absolutely Live was released in 2000, followed by the remix album Forever Pop in 2001. A DVD - Little America - was released in 2001 documenting two concerts performed in Salt Lake City, Utah. Two box-sets have also been released ; rather than being collections of previously released album tracks they are actually 12 unique albums, several live, several rarities and outtakes, and several newly recorded. The first box, of eight discs, was released in 1999 (called Dreamscapes) and the second in 2003 (called CrazyShow or Dreamscapes 9-12). Part of the material of CrazyShow was previously released to the internet via the Alphaville Official website. In 2006 the band released "Dreamscapes Revisited", available by download only, which was welcomed particularly by those fans who had been unable to obtain a copy of the original "Dreamscapes" which had had a limited production run.
Projects
Bernhard Lloyd did not contribute to the CrazyShow album, and shortly after its release, on March 18, 2003 he officially left the group. The current core stage members of Alphaville are Marian Gold (vocals), Martin Lister (keyboards), David Goodes (guitars) and Pierson Grange (drums).
Marian Gold has released two solo albums (So Long Celeste, 1992 and United, 1996) alongside his work in the band, both mixing personal creations and covers.
Bernhard Lloyd also worked on a project named Atlantic Popes with singer Max Holler, a 13-track CD. In 1996 Frank Mertens started on a musical project called Maelstrom which was a combination of ambient-style music, impressionistic and colorful art in the form of paintings and sculptures, and etheric poetry. This project seems now to have been abandoned, though, as Mertens has not been visibly active with it.
In the first part of 2006, Australian guitar band Youth Group took their remake of Forever Young to #1 in the Official Australian Charts, thanks in part to exposure the track had received from being on popular US TV series The O.C.'s fifth TV soundtrack CD.
At present the band keeps on touring and working on new material, has just re-signed with WEA, and could release its next album in 2007. Song titles for the next release include "Gallery," "Around the Universe," "My Very Blood," and "Sweet Dreams."
Status Quo - In The Army Now
Versuri, videoclip si istorie Status Quo - In The Army Now
Auzisem melodia din intamplare, pe un post de radio, noaptea trecuta in Matiz. Primul gand: Alphaville!!! Buni de pus pe Sa nu uiti Darie.
Nu stiam cum se numeste melodia, dar eram ferm convins ca era Alphaville. Ma si gandeam, dau un search si imposibil sa nu regasesc si melodia de la radio. Dar uite ca a fost imposibil, pentru ca de fapt erau Status Quo.
Pe la 8-10 ani inregistram muzica buna de la radio "O melodie pentu fiecare" sau de pe posturile bulgaresti sau yugoslave, cu emisie un FM. Fiind pe aceeasi caseta, ii confundam probabil.
In final am regasit videoclipul In The Army Now, ocazie cu caere am dat si un search dupa ca sa regasesc istoria Status Quo si sa nu-i mai confund pe viitor: Trupa din 1962 care inca mai canta.
On the 1 July 2007, they performed in front of 63,000 people at the newly built Wembley Stadium as part of the Concert for Diana.
Ca om de internet, e normal sa ma intreb: Cate din actualele websiteuri romanesti vor rezista 10, 20 de ani?

Versuri Status Quo - In The Army Now
A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draftsman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You be the hero of the neighborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergeant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Status Quo are an English rock band whose music is characterised by a strong boogie line. The group was founded by bassist Alan Lancaster and guitarist Francis Rossi in 1962.
Early career
Status Quo began as a rock and roll freakbeat band in 1962. At Sedgehill Comprehensive School, Beckenham Francis Rossi and Alan Lancaster who were members of the same orchestra, started a band called The Scorpions. Changing their name to The Spectres, Rossi and Lancaster played their first gig at the Samuel Jones Sports Club in Dulwich, South London. In 1963 they added drummer John Coghlan. They began writing their own material and after a year met Rick Parfitt who was playing with a band called The Highlights. By the end of 1965, Rossi and Parfitt, who had become close friends, made a commitment to continue working together. On July 18, 1966 The Spectres signed a five-year deal with Piccadilly Records, releasing two singles that year, 'I (Who Have Nothing)' and 'Hurdy Gurdy Man' (written by Alan Lancaster), and one the next year called 'We Ain't Got Nothing Yet', but all three sank without trace.
[edit] History of the band
By 1967, the group discovered psychedelia and changed their name to Traffic (later Traffic Jam, to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic.) At this time the line-up also included organist Roy Lynes. They released another single 'Almost But Not Quite There' which was also a flop.Late in 1968, the band became The Status Quo and released the very successful Top 10 single "Pictures of Matchstick Men" in November. Rick Parfitt was invited to join the band just as this hit the charts.The single charted as high as Number 7. The band followed it up with "Ice in The Sun", which was almost as successful, climbing to Number 8. "Pictures of Matchstick Men" remains the only Top 40 hit single the group has ever charted in the United States. Though the group's albums have been released in the United States throughout their career, they have never achieved the same level of success and fame there that they have enjoyed in their home country.
After their second album Spare Parts they decided to change into a heavy boogie rock band, abandoning the Carnaby Street fashions of the late 60s and donning instead worn out denims and t-shirts. This look was to become their trademark throughout the 70s. Lynes, apparently unhappy with the reduced emphasis on keyboards in the group���s heavier sound, left in 1971, to be replaced initially by guest keyboard studio players, including Jimmy Horowitz and John Parker, and later, on a more permanent basis on record and stage, by ex-The Herd and Judas Jump member Andy Bown, though as he was contracted as a solo artist with EMI, he was not credited as a full-time member until 1982. After two well-received but relatively poor selling albums in 1970 and 1971, their major breakthrough came when they signed with the well-respected heavy rock and progressive label, Vertigo. Their first album for Vertigo, Piledriver came in 1972 and heralded an even heavier self-produced sound. This album was essentially the template for every subsequent album they released up until Blue for You in 1976. During this period, and throughout the rest of the 70s, they became one of the UK's leading rock bands, gaining a faithful following due to their live gigs. They are best known for songs from this era such as "Paper Plane" (1972), "Caroline" (1973), "Down Down" (1975), "Rockin' All Over the World" (1977) and "Whatever You Want" (1979). "Down Down" topped the UK singles chart in January 1975, their first of two British number one singles to date.
From 1978 onwards their sound became more polished as outside producers were enlisted. Sales remained high in the UK throughout the 80s, but there were tensions within the band, and founding members John Coghlan and Alan Lancaster both left during this period. Coghlan left in late 1981, to be replaced by Pete Kircher from the 1960s pop band Honeybus. This short-lived line-up played its last gig in 1984 at the Milton Keynes Bowl, and reformed briefly to open the Live Aid charity event at Wembley in July 1985.

That year Rossi recorded and released two solo singles with longtime writing partner Bernie Frost. Parfitt was also working on a solo album which is still unreleased, although some tracks have been re-recorded by Status Quo and released as B-sides. Bass player John Edwards and drummer Jeff Rich, both ex-Judie Tzuke Band and Climax Blues Band, assisted Parfitt in the studio.
In the summer of 1985 Rossi, Parfitt and Bown, along with Edwards and Rich started work on a new album. Lancaster, who was living in Australia at the time, took out a legal injunction to stop the band using the Status Quo name on any records. The injunction was lifted after a court hearing in January 1986. Lancaster had had increasing musical differences with the group, notably during the sessions for the 1983 album Back to Back over two tracks which became hit singles for the group around that time. He had written "Ol' Rag Blues", but was angered when the producers chose to release a version with Rossi singing lead vocal in preference to the one sung by himself, and he objected to "Marguerita Time", which he thought unduly corny and too pop-oriented for them. He remained in Australia, and in 1986 he joined a band called 'Party Boys', who had no success in Britain. He left the band in 1987.
Rick Parfitt
Rick Parfitt
The commercially successful In the Army Now album was released in 1986, the single of the same name becoming one of the band's biggest selling UK singles, reaching number 2. The following album, Ain't Complaining, released in 1988, was less successful but did produce the single "Burning Bridges", which got to number 3. This was subsequently re-recorded with new lyrics in April 1994 with Manchester United Football Club as "Come on You Reds", giving the band their second UK Number 1. However the early to mid 1990s saw reduced album sales for the band. They were not helped by falling victim to Matthew Bannister���s shake up of BBC Radio 1 and they lost the subsequent court case they brought against the station. Parfitt had to undergo heart surgery in 1997, but was able to overcome it and make a successful return with a memorable performance in Norwich three months later. Rich left in 2000 and was replaced by Matt Letley. Andrew Bown also took a year off at the same time for family reasons, and was temporarily replaced on stage by Paul Hirsh, formerly of Voyager.
Although Quo still release new material every few years, recent years have seen them release a series of greatest hits compilations and covers albums. One of the band's most recent original albums, Heavy Traffic, is considered by many fans to show a return to their classic 1970s form.
They have a loyal group of fans in the United Kingdom, where they have enjoyed more hits than any other group in rock and roll history (over 60 as of 2006), as well as a big following in mainland Europe, most notably in The Netherlands.
In September 2005, a contestant on the long-running BBC television quiz programme Mastermind chose Status Quo as his specialist subject. That same year they took part in the long running ITV soap opera Coronation Street in a storyline which involved them being sued by the layabout Les Battersby, and performing live at his wedding as compensation.
In December 2005, it was announced that Parfitt was undergoing tests for throat cancer. All subsequent dates of the UK tour were cancelled as a result. However, the growths in Parfitt's throat were found to be benign and were removed successfully.
In November 2006, they performed in a Children in Need feature called "How Clean Is Your Gig?", looking at their tour bus.
On the 1 July 2007, they performed in front of 63,000 people at the newly built Wembley Stadium as part of the Concert for Diana.
Their new album 'In Search of the Fourth Chord' is due to be released in September 2007.

Versuri Wilson Phillips - Hold On
I know this pain
Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Dont ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
Chorus:
Some day somebodys gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Dont you know?
Dont you know things can change
Thingsll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Thingsll go your way
Hold on for one more day
You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
Youve got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin your worries pass you by
Dont you think its worth your time
To change your mind?
(chorus)
I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains
Some day somebodys gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Dont you know?
Dont you know things can change
Thingsll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah
If you hold on
Dont you know things can change
Thingsll go your way
If you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Wont you tell me now
Hold on for one more day cause
Its gonna go your way
Dont you know things can change
Thingsll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Cant you change it this time
Make up your mind
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on
Kenny G
Da, similar cu etajele prefinale facute cu tranzistori BD 136 si BD 137, pentru cei ce isi mai amintesc. Doar suntem la "Sa nu uiti Darie".
Deci Kenny G, poate prea putin cunoscut in ziua de azi. Muzica dumnezeiasca si cu asta cred ca am zis tot. L-am retinut de pe timpuri, cand a fost sarutat de printesa de Monaco cu ocazia unui concert.
Pe el si Vonda Shepard ii am in vedere pentru nunta mea, o nunta clasica in Magrini, motiv pentru care le urez multa sanatate.
Lui Pemu din Magrini nu-i placea Kenny G: cica era muzica de la telejurnal (pe timpul lui Ceausescu).
Ce sa mai zic, prea putine melodii cunoscute au si versuri, totul e muzica pura, la saxofon.
Un videoclip imediat, cu putina voce:
Video Kenny G - Forever in love
Alexandru Andries
Dar daca tot era sa fie o melodie buna... atunci sa fie Alexandru Andries - E razboi Ioane, una din melodiile de pe un album vechi romanesc, aparut imediat dupa revolutie.
Chiar foarte departe de Stefan Banica nu e maestrul, mai ales ca in melodia "Am o problema" spune clar ca se simte "Stefan Banica".
Dar melodia asta o stiam de mult timp.
La comentariile de pa youtube, spunea cineva "imi place Andries". Buna glumita
E ca si cum ai spune "imi place Elvis Presley" pentru ca asta e Andries in muzica romaneasca. Sa vad cine are curaj sa ma contrazica

Ce-i scandalul ăsta ? A strigat cineva ?

Craciun fericit
Cum spuneam si in MH-01-BEA si cafeaua se bea. Asa ca sa fim realisti si cu mintea limpede: marea canicula se va termina si cat de curand ne vom confrunta cu acele geruri napraznice, presiune scazuta in la gaze, frig in case, facturi imense, multe paturi si haine pe noi. Atunci sa vezi stiri la TV despre frig, lipsa canicula, lipsa ... toate. Cati se mai gandesc acum cat de aproape e frigul?
De fapt, asa cum ma gandeam... sa ma uit sau nu dupa ceva videoclipuri cu Vonda Shepard? E totusi printre cele mai bune. Cum era o expresie in Magrini despre porc: "numai asta ca e cald".
Asa ca am gasit in videoclip de sezon (sa nu uitati, in 5 luni vom ciocni o cupa foarte rece de sampanie, cu ocazia Craciunului) cu Vonda Shepard: Ally McBeal : Ally and Larry - White Christmas
De fapt ma pregatisem de Craciun de doua luni, venind cu masina de la Orsova la Tirgu Mures: nu stiu cum in matiz a ajuns un CD cu Colinde de Craciun.
In trafic lume stresata de caldura ce abia incepea, claxoane, asteptari lungi la semafoare de pe drumurile in lucru...
Dar de ce sa injuri si sa te stresezi cand poti sa... canti in masina?
Exact, karaoke!!!
Daca tot aveam muzica buna in masina... de ce sa nu incerc sa-l imit pe Stefan Banica Junior cu melodia Doar un Craciun cu tine? Drumul lung.. sa tot inveti si apoi sa dai pe spate "o anume persoana" din Mures. Sa speram ca nu gasesc videoclipul cu Banica Jr. "Numai asta ca..."
Video Vonda Shepard: Film Ally McBeal - Ally and Larry - White Christmas
Versuri White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
De mentionat ca am toata seria 2 din Ally McBeal pe casete video. Poate intr-o zi o sa-mi iau si video.
Especially For You
Evident, caseta a fost facuta pierduta la un chef, la un revelion facut cu "fratii jucausi".
Videoclipul original e aici:
Video Jason Donovan & Kylie Minogue - Especially For You!
Sa arunc si un ochi dupa ceva video cu Vonda Shepard sau Kenny G ?
Ma prinde dimineata.
Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel
Nu stiu care e videoclipul originial. Stiu melodia de pe o caseta audio din anii '90 cu titlul "Music for lovers".
Videoclip
Versuri Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't Give Up
In this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up
'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong
Sptemeber Satellites Again
Da, intre timp am vazut ca mai exista si alte versiuni video ale melodiei:
Asa cum stiu prietenii apropiati, daca e bun atunci sa fie mult. Si meloedia asta cehiar merita sa "fie mult".
O versiune live, cu un fel de duet, cor... Daca tipul avea vocea o idee mai groasa cred ca iesea si mai super. Il invat eu sa fumeze.
September - Satellites (Soulseekerz Remix)
Mixata in veselie, ritmuri techo, diverse efecte si alte brizbrizuri. Tanti nu apare in video, doar jocuri destul de reusite de fractali.Video LIVE September Satellites
Superba si versiunea asta de videoclip. Chitara face minuniSatellites - September (feat DJ Pulse and Dr Dru)
Inca un remix Satelittes, parca nu extrem de diferit fata de versiunea originala.September Satellites Remix
Asta da, video din versiunea orginala a melodiei, dar efecte total diferite.Si cam atat pana nu mai gasesc alte versiuni care sa-mi placa.
September Satellites reminder
Chiar ma intrebam cum arata tipa ne... nemachiata, nepictata. Super videoclipul, se pune accent mai mult pe voce decat pe imaginie, dupa cum se vede.
Rednex Blues
Ocazie cu care am aflat ca Rednex avea 2 bluesuri :) Wish You Were Here si Hold me for a while.
Am vazut intial un video care avea in in fundal o melodie de la Rednex si am dat un search pe youtube dupa rednex, ocazie cu care am dat de Rednex - Wish You Were Here. Stupoare, nu asta era melodia pe care o cautam eu si am mai dat searchuri dupa "hold me for a while". Stupoare 2 tot al Rednex era. Stupoare 3: am gasit pe putin 3 videoclipuri Rednex, hold me for a while si chiar ca nu mai stiu care era originalul.Dar toate sunt frumoase, asa ca le pun pe toate ca merita vazute si ascultate.

Rutina | Sansa
Rutina | Sansa
Unul din frumoasele pps-uri pe care le trimite Dorin pe tema sansa, lectii de viata...
Asta nu prea avea grafica, cred ca mergea mai mult pe text.
Mai jos, textul din pps:
Rutina:
Sunt obosit de atata munca si de vazut aceeasi oameni in drum spre serviciu. Ajung acasa si nevasta-mi serveste acelasi fel de mancare la cina. Vreau sa intru in baie, apoi sa intru in camera mea, sa ma intind in pat si sa stau linistit la televizor, dar fiica mea nu ma lasa, pentru ca vrea sa se joace cu mine; nu intelege ca SUNT OBOSIT.
Si tatal meu ma deranjeaza cateodata, sotia mea la fel, ... si intre nevasta, fiica si tata, incep sa inebunesc . “VREAU LINISTE". Unicul lucru bun este somnul, cand inchid ochii ma linistesc si parca uit de toti si toate.
- "Salut,vin pentru tine".
-Cine esti? Cum ai intrat?
- "M-a trimis Dumnezeu dupa tine. Mi-a spus sa-ti ascult plangerile si... ai dreptate! A venit timpul sa te odihnesti".
-Asta nu este posibil, pentru asta ar trebui sa mor...
-"Nu-ti fa probleme, la firma unde lucrezi tu au gasit alta persoana.; si binenteles, este fericit pentru ca nu avea servici ".
-Si sotia mea,copilul meu?
-"Sotia ta a intalnit un barbat bun,care o respecta si o admira pentru calitatile sale, si are rabdare s-o asculte cu placere ,fara sa-i reproseze nimic. Si-n plus, are grija de fiica ta, o iubeste mult ca si cum ar fi fost a lui, mai ales ca el este steril; si oricat de obosit ar veni de la serviciu, are rabdare sa se joace cu ea si sunt foarte fericiti".
- Nu, nu pot sa mor...
- "Imi pare rau dar decizia a fost luata".
- Dar asta inseamna ca nu-mi mai pot saruta fiica niciodata, ca nu-i mai pot spune "TE IUBESC" sotiei mele si nici nu imi mai pot imbratisa tatal. Nu, nu vreau sa mor, vreau sa traiesc, nu vreau sa mor inca...
-"Dar, nu asta doreai? . . . . ODIHNA. Acum te poti odihni etern; dormi pentru vesnicie".
- Nu, nu vreau, te rog, Dumnezeule...!
"Ce ai iubitule? Ai un cosmar?" imi sopti sotia mea, trezindu-ma.
- Nu . . . nu a fost un cosmar, a fost inca o sansa.
* *

Sa-ti faci un prieten este o favoare.
Sa ai un prieten este o fericire.
Sa pastrezi un prieten este o virtute.
Sa fiu prietenul tau este o onoare.
Ai grija de familia ta.
Cred ca acest mesaj v-a facut sa reflectati ... pentru ca de multe ori gandim asa.
O zi buna!
Posta Romana fara concurenta
Companiile de marketing, trimise spre faliment de Poşta Romană
Majorarea tarifelor poştale cu 60% de către Poşta Romană, de la 1 august 2007, pentru trimiterile poştale din sfera serviciului universal, a nemulţumit companiile de marketing direct. Asociaţia Romană de Marketing Direct (ARMAD) acuză Poşta Romană de un nou abuz de poziţie dominantă.
[...]
Chiar asa?
Pai concurenta ce face? Posta Romana nu e singurul serviciu de trimitere corespondenta si coletarie.
Comunicare Online
Ne comportam online la fel cum ne simtim in viata reala ? Adica daca am inceput ziua nervos la munca din cauza ca am pierdut trei sferturi de ora in statia de tramvai o sa ma comport asa si in mediul online? Bunul simt ne spune ca da, insa in lumea virtuala apar aceste disocieri care nu intotdeauna ne conduc la comportamentele intuite.
Studiile au aratat ca schimbarile acestea se fac in functie de mediul in care activam. Eu-l se muleaza unde suntem. Intr-un fel vom actiona pe chat si in alt fel pe un forum. Emailurile, Blogurile, Video-Conferintele sunt medii diferite. Si cand ajungi fata in fata oricum este altceva decat cele dinainte .
...
Este bine-cunoscut ca oamenii in mediul virtual au un comportament diferit fata de cel normal in situatii de fata in fata. Se exprima mult mai usor si sunt mult mai dezinhibati. Cercetatorii in domeniu numesc asta “efectul dezinhibitiv”.
Cateodata oamenii spun lucruri prea personale despre ei. Marturisesc emotii ascunse, temeri, dorinte. Sau sunt deosebit de generosi, fata de normalitate. Aceasta se numeste “dezinhibitie benigna”.
Alteori insa folosesc limbaje violente, cuvinte murdare, critica, sunt maniosi, ameninta. Oamenii exploreaza adancimile Internetului pentru a vedea pornografie sau violenta, locuri pe care in mod normal nu le-ar “vizita” in viata reala. Aceasta se numeste “dezinhibitie toxica”.
Ce se intampla cu Online-ul de permite astfel de manifestari dezinhibitive ?
Cu ocazia asta mi-am amintit de evolutia comunicarii online, pornind de la Revista IF Tirgu Mures din anii 1990-1991 (vezi foto, numarul 4 al revistei)
si primul numar al Revistei Chip cu CD inclus (mai 2007 sau iulie 2005), ulterior PC Report si cele ce au urmat. Reviste bune, care pe multi ne-au indrumat in timp. Ce ma stresa insa: multe articole frumoase care se terminau cu mai multe detalii pe site www... De unde internet in Orsova? Abia prin anii 1999 Valu a fost printre primii care a adus netul acolo. Cu rabdare, in 15 minute se incarca pagina de email la Yahoo. Dar comunicai
Si atunci sa vezi comunicare. Evident internetul a prins la pustime, incepand cu omniprezentul MIRC: asl pls, scripturi, boti, egg drop de auzisem de la vechiul meu amic asiatic din Chicago - Orb, si pana la ultimele versiuni de multimessneger cu care poti comunica simplu atat pe mirc, icq, skype si alte beneficii ale internetului.
Dar pe mine ma interesau lucruri mai simple: sa vad site-urile de care citisem in colectiile revistelor.
Abia mai tarziu am ajuns la messengere, din care in mod curent folosesc yahoo messenger cu registrii modificati, pentru mai multe sesiuni de yahoo messenger, respectiv yahoo multi messenger.
Asa am cunoscut fel si fel de oameni, mai mult sau mai putini ascunsi de protectia data de anonimatul pe internet.
- oameni care au toate campurile de la profil completate, inclusiv numerele de telefon;
- oameni cu care poti discuta pe internet, dar e exclus sa discuti si pe telefon;
- oameni cu care poti discuta doar pe telefon ca sunt prea ocupati sa raspunda si pe messenger;
- oameni cu care e mai simplu sa te intalnesti live, pentru ca nu au timp nici de net si nici de telefoane;
- oameni cu care nu te vezi niciodata pe motiv ca "ne cunoastem de pe net". Cred ca este una din cele mai stupide afirmatii, ceea ce diferentiaza imens comunicarea online fata de comportamentul din viata reala.
Cum zice articolul:
"Eu-l se muleaza unde suntem... Si cand ajungi fata in fata oricum este altceva decat cele dinainte".
Cred ca prea putini reusesc sa-si muleze, respectiv sa se adapteze la noi situatii, lucru care se si vede in modalitatea de comunicare. Culmea e ca nu toti sunt anonimi, dar de multe ori uita acest lucru.
O categorie aparte sunt persoanele de gen feminin, care efectiv din plictiseala (sa-i spun prostie? - nu, ca par misogin), daca nu le acorzi atentie, sunt capabile sa se dezbrace in fata webcamului, danseaza "tendentios" si chiar iti trimit cele mai bune poze din jacuzzi. Nu sunt femei usoare (cine stie?) pentru ca atunci cand ai timp de ele si le propui o intalnire, spun ca nu au timp pentru "toata lumea" si se crizeaza in veselie daca le intrebi daca danseza online pentru "toata lumea". Nu vorbesc acum de videochat, ci de useri obisnuiti, dezinhibati... cum erau mentionati in articol.
Ca in viata reala, comunicarea online presupune acelasi lucru: capacitatea de comunicare, pe care unii o au sau nu.
Si aici imi amintesc de patronul unei pensiuni din Bran zonabran.ro , cu ocazia vizitei de sprijin si coordonare, care nu vroia nici comunicare online si nici nu prea avea abilitatea de a comunica in stil clasic, caruia inca ii multumesc ca nu a pus cainii pe mine, pentru "crima" de a-i prezenta live oferta de inscriere in Zona Bran.
Dar in final sa ramana cei mai buni.
Posete fara secrete
Cu atatea posete pe langa mine... mi-am amintit de discutia cu Adi de la cheful de Florii de la Bran, desi adevar graia si vis-a-vis de toaletele cu rezervor jos (ca de Doamne, le pica poate ceva in cap daca e sus) mai ales ca si eu am fost nevoit sa tin capacul cu piciorul in vizita la 1001 Romania, chiar cu o zi inainte.
Se pare ca nu exista poseta suficient de mare pentru o femeie. Chiar daca mai e un loc liber, si acela trebuie sa fie ocupat cu ceva.
Povestea e mai veche, incepand cu poseta de postas a colegei Nicolle (da, avea si umbrela, ciudat e ca nu renuntase la umbrela nici dupa ce isi luase Cielo)
Mereu m-au uimit posetele, mai ales ca bunele maniere interzic barbatilor sa se uite in interior.
Dar potrivit unui ordin din armata americana, despre care am citit in cartea "Luna la Omehow", cica "In armata americana ai voie sa faci orice, dar totul pana inainte de a ti se interzice".
Aplicand aceasta regula, am constatat ca in nici un cod al bunelor maniere nu e interzis sa... fotografiezi interiorul unei poste, ca aici:

Avertismente sanatate
Am vazut ceva interesant pe plic, un anunt pentru sanatate:
Grasimile nu? Dulciurile nu? Produsele "naturale" (zarzavaturi, fructe...) crescute cu stimulenti de crestere nu? Cel putin pentru ultima categorie, in nici o piata nu am vazut vreun aparat care sa spuna ce chimicale contine un produs natural.
Dar e interesanta faza cu alcoolul: scrie acum asta pe etichetele de la bauturi alcoolice? O sa verific cu prima ocazie. Acolo de ce sa nu fie similar cu tigarile? Adica 1/3 din sticla sa fie inscriptionata ca sa avertizeze asupra pericolului.
Sa vad si acolo ceva similar cu: "Pentru a renunta la baut, consultati doctorul/farmacistul dumneavoastra" sau la un restaurant cu pretentii, un vin bun de sute sau mii de euro sticla, plin de inscriptii macabre. Doar face rau la sanatate si alcoolul, nu?
De curiozitate, consumatorii de stupefiante la cine sa se duca? Cu toate legile si campaniile facute, exista si ei.
Sau doar cu tigarile au ce au?
Sa fim seriosi: un singur pachet sau chiar un cartus nu ucide, asa cum afirma "specialistii": In final si mersul pe jos, alergatul poate sa ucida, practicat in exces.
De exemplu:
"Fumatul incetineste circulatia sangelui si provoaca impotenta"
Stiam ca si efortul prelungit (mers pe jos, alergat) mareste circulatia sangelui si duce la hipertensiune arteriala. Asta a omorat pe multi.
Dar na, nu sunt tigari.
In cantitati mici, nimic nu dauneaza grav sanatatii.
La o adica... de ce sa nu treaca astfel de avertismente si pe autoturisme?
Si ele pot sa ucida la fel de simplu daca depasesc o anume viteza, prevazuta de lege si mai ales... tot in spatii publice.
Legi pentru utilizarea obiectelor periculoase sunt. Se si aplica.
De ce oare?
Una din fazele amuzante estea cea din filmele si stirile de la TV unde apare uneori mesajul cu "Alcoolul dauneaza grav sanatatii" : Nene, vezi ca tipul care si-a omorat nevasta a facut-o cu pistolul, cutitul sau bataia, nu cu un amarat de pachet periculos de tigari.

Sfaturi pentru casa
- Vasele din sticla foarte murdare (cu grasimi, rasini etc) se curata cu o solutie de soda de rufe si sapun, apoi se spala cu foate multa apa.
- Pentru a preveni cocleala, obiectele de bronz se sterg energic cu pulbere fina de cenusa de lemn (folosintu-se un tampon), apoi obiectele se lustruiesc.
- Covoarele se curata frumos stergand suprafata acestora cu un tampon inmuiat in esenta concentrata de ceai.
- Bijuteriile din aur se curata agitandu-le intr-o solutie de apa in care se adauga putin praf de creta. Se spala apoi cu multa apa si se usuca.
- Mobila de lemn de mahon se sterge cu un burete umezit cu apa in care s-a adaugat otet, dupa care se freaca repede cu o carpa moale, pana cand urmele de apa dispar. Suprafata uscata se acopera cu un strat subtire de ceara alba, iar dupa ce s-a uscat, se lustruieste cu o carpa.
- Tapiseria din stofa se curata energic cu o perie de haine inmuiata intr-o solutie de sapun cu apa calda sau intr-o solutie de bucatarie (4 lingurite) in spirt medicinal (5 lingurite), la care se adauga apa rece. Dupa curatare, suprafata tratata sa sterge de cateva ori cu o carpa umezita in apa rece (bine stoarsa), apoi cu o carpa uscata.
- Obiectele de arama de dimensiuni mici se curata cufundandu-le intr-o solutie concentrata de amoniac (numai in incaperi bine aerisite sau in aer liber) dupa care se sterg cu o carpa umezita in aceeasi solutie. La urma se clatesc cu apa si se sterg cu o carpa uscata.
- Ramele de lemn de stejar se curata cu un tampon inmuiat in lapte dulce; dupa uscare se lustruiesc cu o carpa moale.
- Obiectele din argint si din aur nu se curata cu produse abrazive.
- Vasle de bucatarie de teflon nu se cuata cu materiale abrazive, ci se spala cu solutii emoliente (soda calcinata, detergenti pentru vase, cenusa de lemn etc), folosindu-se o carpa, buretele sau peria moale.
- Pentru lustruirea suprafetelor lemnoase vopsite in alb, acestea se ung cu un amestec incalzit de parafina (o lingurita) in apa (un pahar), omogenizat la cald. Dupa racire si uscare, suprafata tratata se lustruieste cu o carpa moale, uscata.
- Pentru a reimprospata culorile unui covor, acesta se perie energic cu o solutie concentrata de apa cu sare grunjoasa sau se presara covorul cu sare, se ruleaza si se lasa asa 2-3 zile, dupa care se perie sarea. Astfel se indeparteaza si eventualele pete.
- Pentru curatarea ruginei de pe chei si alte obiecte mici : 1) se sterge energic, cu o carpa umezita cu apa si inmuiata in nisip fin ; 2) se introduc obiectele pentru 24 de ore intr-o baie de ulei de gatit rancezit ; 3) se sapunesc si se freaca enegic cu o carpa aspra, pentru uscare si lustruire.
