Impressions of Peace
Another girl: "We didn't know."
~from "The Strawberry Statement"
Long before "world wide peace" became the finishing note in the pouting mouths of aspiring beauty queens in pageants across the world it was something less cliché, more noble. I wasn't born in the 60s and only have that strangely appreciative feeling that later generations too will have for that romantically delusional and missteppingly optimistic decade (Historical research suggests things were much grimmer than populary thought of). Someone once said that the 1960s as an "idea" didn't really begin till May '68 (Paris May) and it ended in August '69 at the Summer of Love in Woodstock. I vividly remember watching The Strawberry Statement/ Strawberries and Blood (a 1970 film) on state-television as an impressionable teenager. Simon's tiny apartment worked as a time capsule in retrospect: the "2001: A space Odyssey" soundtrack, the Robert Kennedy photo on the wall, Neil Young's "Down by the River"... The (how ironic!) paean for peace by John Lennon at the final sit-in was waving like the rowing gestures of the quiet hero in my mind for months. Almost 40 years later it still has resonance. (It would take an even more touching, more nuanced film to lightly smudge the impressions in my mind: Johny Got his Gun...)
So what's an essentially political post doing in a perfume blog? But I have long opined that basically everything is political, more or less! Everything we do, the views we have, the actions we perform have impact and they make a difference: To us certainly, but also to the world. The very etymology of "political" comes from the Greek word πόλις which means city-state (the formation of choice in classical Greece) and in that concept the citizen is the one who forms the essence of the city ("it is men who stand as the walls of the city") and is keenly aware and participant in everything that surrounds his/her life, embodying the city and the world around spiritually. The ideal of participating in common affairs was simple yet wise: if the city/world goes well, so will the citizen!
On a related thread I was contacted a few days ago by independent artist and perfumer Roxana Villa, who has created a special fragrance for the International Peace Day: developed specifically to help raise funds for an annual worldwide telecast concert of Superstar musicians performing Sacred Music from the most mystical concert venues on the planet. The perfume is officially unnamed due to the squatting on words perpetuated in the fragrance industry these days...but the Peace sign dangling leaves little doubt; and it rang a bell.
Let's leave Roxana explain the concept in her own words: "This fragrance is very much like the concept music albums that came out in the 60's when the Peace movement became part of mass consciousness. This perfume began with the intention of supporting a friends vision to create a global chant for peace as a series of concerts in sacred sites all over the world. His vision has not yet manifested. I intend that this perfume will facilitate manifesting that vision, just as Q facilitates manifesting consciousness for the California coastal live oaks. The illustrated image, the illumination, was created by my husband Greg. He is an award winning visual artist who has worked both in illustration (Time, Sports Illustrated) and in film (Narnia, Golden Compass). We choose a shade of burgundy from my palette as the color harmony for this fragrance based on the pigments in the image".
The perfume was orchestrated like a symphony with three complex chords of base, middle and top notes. Each chord contains up to seven different essences which come from all parts of the world and what I personally get is an earthy floriental (with a delectable neroli and possibly petit-grain with coriander/ginger opening? Roxana didn't specify but it's piquant!) on a smooth, smoky tobacco-vanillic woods aftertaste (sandalwood? and probably also rosewood in the middle?). It consolidates my faith in Roxana's woody blends and seems like a great, sweet fit for moving into the autumnal season.
Perfume launches September 21st, the United Nations International Day of Peace. The fragrance will give a portion of the proceeds from each of the 7 gram liquid perfume flacons and solid compacts to the POE (Project Peace on Earth) organization to facilitate their vision of a global prayer concert for Peace.
Join the celebrations for peace on the International Day of Peace link and learn about the non-profit project Peace on Earth here.
The perfume will be available as a pure, perfume extract and a solid natural perfume unguent. Visit Illuminated Perfume for purchases and Roxana's Journal for a chance to win two liquid samples.

I love Love Love your way with words and am honored to have been a part of this with you!ReplyDelete
I'm awfully flattered you think so and thanks so much for saying so! It's been great to be part of this with you too :-)ReplyDelete
glad we see eye to eye on that and I liked the tobacco inclusion, the way you described it!
Thanks for chimming in!
thank you I guess and you can hop over at Roxana's journal (link in the article) and read details on this. She has a worthwhile Etsy store too!
very happy you feel this way and even happier the project has put a smile on people's faces from what I see. (She's very sweet!)
Dear sisters- E and all-ReplyDelete
What a privilege, to share this experience...
The Rox-one and her consort have done marvellous work; you have echoed all the political overtones in the music of your own voice[es] !
May it be so-

How lucky for me that I could be a part of this along with you, Helg. Right now in my studies, I'm reading Plato for the first time in my life. It's hard to believe that, but I skipped over those guys and went straight to the existentialists a long time ago. I now understand the original meaning of civic duty - everyone participates, everything is related to the community, and everything is political. You've known this for a long time, but it's a fairly new concept for me, and I'm trying to learn how to function as a better member of my human community. (Which is not necessarily a physical one.) I believe this is actually the very first blog-o-rama in which I've been involved, and it's a marvelous experience to share these impressions with so many, such different voices. I have more to say, but I'll save it for later... I'm rambling. Warmest greeting to you personally, and thank you for keeping me linked here, despite a long silence.ReplyDelete
you flatter me! Thanks so much for including me in your beautiful project. I do hope something comes out of it. It seems like large gestures (such as an international music day) have a way of uniting and becoming memorable even when not practical. I like to think that in the cynicism of today's world there is a little leeway for some dreaming still.
thanks darling for chimming in and how utterly thrilling it was to hear you too! You're certainly the sunniest personality of this community so we're all blessed to have you smile our way. I really do mean it.
thanks for saying so! I'm afraid I come across as a little geeky sometimes but hopefully unique is a more lenient and pleasant way of looking at it, so much appreciated. :-))
It was an honour being part of such a beautiful project.
it's a true pleasure having you comment again and to communicate after a long silence, so thank you for hopping over. It's good to have you back (at your own pace and with your own unique voice) and I'm sure this is a sentiment felt by many. :-)
Re:Plato. Ah, well... A funny anecdote if anyone cares to read it: I first realised the wisdom of the idea when I opted out of electing representatives at my University while a student. ("He who shuns common affairs is destined to be ruled by his inferiors" etc etc). Suffice to say: Never again! There is a reason why it's considered the "ultimate right".
And yes, the community doesn't have to be a physical one for it to function on those terms.
reciprocal feelings! :-)
Hope you're well!

Recall Details
Chrysler has recalled certain 1996 Dodge Ram 1500/2500 models because the vehicle certification labels indicate a smaller tire size than is actually required. Tires that are too small may not have sufficient load capacity for the vehicle's specified gross weight rating, which increases the risk for premature tire failure. Owners will be mailed an overlay label with the correct information and instructions for installing them. If owners prefer, their dealer can install the label for them.

Back in June, I was lucky enough to witness some of the goings on at the 17th meeting of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, including an emergency session on the situation in Libya. While unanimously condemned by the delegates, there was an absence of true revulsion at the situation until the Maldives took the floor. The delegate of this tiny group of islands (population 350,000) released such a passionate and hard-hitting condemnation of Libya it really took me by surprise and made the room squirm. Taking to Twitter (with something along the lines of 'Go Maldives!" ) led to an RT by @ILoveMaldives, whose little blurb reads "1% Land & 99% Water- In the Maldives We Teach YOu The Art Of DOing Nothing- Please NO News And No Shoes here! :)" [sic]
From this, the Maldives sounded feisty, fun and I wanted to know more. My interest was piqued in a bizarre interview with David Cameron in The Guardian recently when, and bear with me here, street artist Eine hypothetically asked which 5 world leaders Dave would invite on hypothetical stag do, obviously organised by Berlusconi. Part of Dave's answer was, "My new best friend is the President of the Maldives. He's great." What's going on? Is this a bit like Gordon Brown attempting to boost his popularity by claiming a love for the Arctic Monkeys? Are the Maldives the new Arctic Monkeys?
The BFF in question, President Mohamed Nasheed, has been quietly creeping onto the world stage since election in 2008, taking office from a President who by all accounts ruled with an iron fist from 1978. President Nasheed's activist roots at first makes you wonder what on earth he and Dave have in common…
Returning to the Maldives in 1989 after a British public school education and graduating with a degree in maritime law from Liverpool, Mohamed Nasheed (nicknamed Anni) was imprisoned and tortured by government forces for speaking out against the regime and accused of spreading Christianity. Nasheed was declared a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International in 1991 and eventually fled the Maldives in 2004 to be granted refugee status in Britain. Following another few years of return, arrest, imprisonment, becoming an MP, losing his seat, regaining his seat, Nasheed was eventually elected President in the first major democratic vote in the Maldives for decades.
Enemies continued to accuse him of spreading Christianity in a muslim country. A BBC article in 2008 claims Nasheed "enjoyed close links to foreign organisations such as Britain's Conservative Party which undermined the country's faith. He has strenuously denied the allegations." The article is unclear whether the strenuous denial applies to spreading Christianity or to having links with the Conservative party. However, it seems the Conservatives had quite a lot to do with Nasheed's presidential campaign including campaigning advice and even funding.
Cynicism aside, President Nasheed seems to be doing an alright job: the United Nation's universal periodic review of the Maldives in 2010 uncovers the problems you would expect from a country under transition from dictatorship to democracy, including the population getting to grips with the concept and entitlement of human rights.
Environmental credentials are impressive; as the Maldives is seriously threatened by climate change due to rising sea levels, the aim is for the entire country to be carbon neutral within ten years. Nasheed was named Time Magazine Hero of the Environment in 2009 and one of the UN Champions of the Earth in 2010. Also in 2010, Newsweek placed Nasheed at Number 2 in their top ten of the world's best leaders. And Number 1? David Cameron. I get the feeling this isn't the last we've heard of this 'special relationship'.

Most people diagnosed with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) have one of two different subtypes of CMML. Doctors classify CMML subtypes by the percentage of blast cells ("blasts") in the blood and bone marrow.
Doctors use a classification system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2001. The two subtypes are:
- CMML-1, which has less than 5 percent blasts in the blood and less than 10 percent blasts in the marrow
- CMML-2, which has 5 percent to 19 percent blasts in the blood and 10 percent to 19 percent blasts in the marrow
Most healthy individuals have less than 5 percent blast cells in their developing marrow cells.

BRUSSELS (AP) — The International Monetary Fund will answer Ukraine's call for financial help "at this critical moment in its history," fund chief Christine Lagarde said Thursday.
In the IMF's first official statement on Ukraine since the country's political crisis intensified last week, Lagarde said a fact-finding team will go to Kiev in the coming days to assess the financial needs.
"We are ready to respond," she said.
The mission will help the IMF understand the economic situation and its officials will start discussing with Ukrainian authorities what reforms would be required in exchange for emergency loans, she added.
Ukraine's finance ministry has said it needs $35 billion for this year and next to avoid default. The political turmoil since the end of last year has roiled the economy, depleted the central bank's reserves and sent its currency tumbling.
Any financial help from the IMF for the country of 46 million is likely to come with tough conditions, including demands for budget cuts, structural reforms and a devaluation of the currency to make the economy more competitive. The IMF would also likely demand a sharp increase in the price of natural gas, which the country heavily subsidizes.
Those measures are likely to be unpopular and dent the support of any new government. A currency devaluation would cause import prices to soar. More expensive energy would further eat into consumers' budgets.
Ukraine officially asked the IMF for help Thursday, Lagarde said. The IMF said it is in talks with several nations and other multilateral organizations — institutions like the World Bank or the European Union — to determine the best way of assisting Ukraine.
Ukraine has a fraught relationship with the IMF, failing to keep to the terms of earlier bailouts in 2008 and 2010.
Negotiations on the conditions for a new IMF loan package are likely to last months, and officials said no deal can be reached before a stable, elected government is in place.
Officials say Ukraine will need financial assistance rapidly, even before a full IMF package can be concluded. The EU has offered to bridge that gap, while declining to specify how much money will be needed. The U.S. is also examining how it can assist.
Estimates vary, but analysts say Ukraine might need a total of $20 billion to $25 billion for 2014 and 2015, perhaps $15 billion this year and $10 billion the next. The money would help pay salaries and pensions and maturing bonds.
Ukraine had a promise of $15 billion in help from Russia — but that's on hold after parliament voted Saturday to remove pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych and take the country closer to the EU instead. Kiev has received only $3 billion of Moscow's bailout cash.
On a visit to Washington, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he will discuss helping Ukraine with Lagarde Friday.
Steinmeier said there are also talks with Russia about "help pledged to Ukraine not being withdrawn or canceled." If Moscow were to join the EU, the U.S. and the IMF in stabilizing Ukraine's finances, "that would be a good point of departure," he said.

Azarenka through, no sister act for Radwanska
Double Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka reached the French Open second round today but Agnieszka Radwanska's hopes of playing little sister Urszula for a place in the last 16 were dashed.sports Updated: May 29, 2013 22:57 IST
Double Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka reached the French Open second round on Wednesday but Agnieszka Radwanska's hopes of playing little sister Urszula for a place in the last 16 were dashed.
Azarenka clinched a 6-1, 6-4 win over Elena Vesnina -- her fifth win in five matches against the experienced Russian -- and will next face German 19-year-old Annika Beck, the 2012 junior champion, for a place in the third round.
Roland Garros has been Azarenka's least successful Grand Slam.
Having reached at least the semi-finals of the other three majors, the 23-year-old's best run in Paris saw her make the last eight in 2009 and 2011.
But she was relatively untroubled on Wednesday against Vesnina, with whom she reached the final of the women's doubles in 2009.
Breaks in the second and sixth games of the opening set gave her the foundation for victory in a match held over from Tuesday because of rain.
She was 2-1 up with a break in the second before the 28-year-old Vesnina rallied to level at 3-3.
But it was a brief respite for the world nunmber 38 as Azarenka hit back straightaway to seal the tie after 78 minutes.
"It felt good to be on the court after getting cancelled yesterday," said Azarenka.
"It was a good win as Elena is a really tough opponent.
"I will be back tomorrow to play again but I want to be able to slide better on the clay, especially on the left foot as well as the right. That's my goal this year."
Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanksa, who has never got beyond the fourth round, eased past Mallory Burdette of the United States 6-3, 6-2.
She had been scheduled to tackle her sister for a place in the last 16, but Urszula, who put out Venus Williams in the first round, crashed out 6-3, 6-3 to German qualifier Dinah Pfizenmaier, the world number 127.
Czech seventh seed Petra Kvitova and Russian 12th seed Maria Kirilenko were also early winners of their delayed first round matches.
Spanish men's fourth seed David Ferrer, a semi-finalist in 2012, made the third round, beating compatriot Albert Montanes, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3.
Sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, France's best hope of a first men's champion in Paris for 30 years, defeated Finnish veteran Jarkko Nieminen, 7-6 (8/6), 6-4, 6-3.
Tsonga, a quarter-finalist last year when he squandered four match points against Novak Djokovic, next faces either compatriot Jeremy Chardy or Roberta Bautista Agut of Spain.
Croatian 10th seed Marin Cilic ended the hopes of Australian teenager Nick Kyrgios, the world number 262, by winning 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.
Later Wednesday, Roger Federer will bid to win his 56th career match at Roland Garros, just two behind the record held jointly by Guillermo Vilas and Nicola Pietrangeli.
Federer, the 2009 champion and bidding for an 18th major, tackles Indian qualifier Somdev Devvarman, the world number 188.
Second seed Federer beat Devvarman in their only previous meeting in straight sets in Dubai in 2011.
Women's top seed Serena Williams, who is on a 25-match winning streak, faces French teenager Caroline Garcia.
World number 114 Garcia was a set and 4-1 up on Maria Sharapova at Roland Garros in the second round in 2011 before losing in three.
Williams is looking for a second title in Paris, 13 years after her first.

Choosing the correct method depends on your research question and your aim. Do you want to describe something, explore new questions or do you want to confirm a hypothesis? Answering this question first will be of key importance when choosing methods for your research project. Another factor to consider and heavily linked to the first question raised above, is asking yourself what kind of research you want to carry out. The question then is whether you want to use a deductive or an inductive approach.
Deductive: This term simply means that you start with a theory from which you develop a hypothesis, based on which you choose your research methods. In your research you then seek to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. This research approach is associated with quantitative data.
Inductive: In contrast to deductive reasoning, using an inductive approach means that you start with observations without having either a hypothesis or a theory guiding your research. The goal of inductive research is to let the hypothesis and theory emerge through the research you do. The idea is that you start your research with a clean slate in terms of theoretical expectations. This is of course very difficult, if not impossible, as we are always influenced by the things we experience and we often can't help but have preconceived ideas of things, people and social phenomena surrounding us. Nonetheless, the challenge is to block this out as much as possible and to let the theory emerge from the observations you make. This kind of approach is strongly associated with qualitative data.
As you can guess from the above differentiation, often there lies a large ideological gulf between these two approaches that is also reflected in the question what kind of data you should collect. The key difference lies in quantitative and qualitative data.
Quantitative Data: Basically, quantitative data are numerical data that allow you to measure and quantify things and to test hypotheses. Most typically you will collect quantitative data through questionnaires with closed questions and scales. This means that the participant can only select pre-given answers which have an assigned numerical value for later analysis. Alternatively, they may be asked to select a numerical value on a scale that represents a certain answer e.g. Strongly disagree =1, Strongly agree = 5. These types of scales are called Likert Scales. Quantitative data have long been seen as the only valid sort of data in scientific research, but this perception has been eroded as the collection of qualitative data has become more widely accepted and used, especially among social scientists.
Qualitative Data: When you collect qualitative data you try to understand meanings and interpretations. The idea is to collect narratives of research participants, to be more detailed and holistic, and to account for contextual circumstances. This kind of data may be made up of words, direct observations, videos, texts, pictures etc. and will be most typically collected using interviews, focus groups or observational techniques.
The distinction between quantitative and qualitative data seems very clear and hard, yet numerical data always has a qualitative and subjective element to it and qualitative data can be quantified as well, e.g. through textual analysis that counts words. If you are interested in a more detailed discussion of this ideological divide, have a look here: http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/datatype.php
Mixed Methods
In fact overcoming this gulf can actually be very fruitful and more and more researchers, including myself, discover the beauty of using mixed methods. A mixed methods approach allows you to collect both quantitative and qualitative data and benefits from the advantages of both types of data while offsetting, at least to some extent, the disadvantages of either. In addition it makes your final thesis and interpretations stronger as you rely on multiple sources of evidence, not just a single one. An often used term to describe this advantage is data triangulation.
The Difference between Methods and Methodology
This question is another thing that bothers many students that are confronted with it for the first time and often teachers fail to give a simple answer to this question. The problem is it is not easy to answer this question in simple terms but I will try to answer it in the way I have learned to understand the difference over the years. For me Methodology is the overall approach I am using to develop a research project and Methods are the techniques I utilize as part of this approach. Methodology requires you to understand your research aim and question first and to have a good understanding of the different ideologies that may guide this research. This understanding will then allow you to choose the best methods to accomplish your goals.
So in the most basic and reductionist sense:
Methodology = the why
Methods = the how
The above discussed terms are only a starting point in understanding the research process in the social sciences but sometimes just getting a basic understanding of some complicated sounding words can open a new world of exciting research opportunities for you.

which includes numerous false accusations against me, and I see that you
are breaching copyright by continuing to host numerous programs on
http://retrowiki.es/badaman/index.html which are clearly subject to
I am amazed that you have no respect at all for copyright holders, and have
not even bothered to contact the copyright holders for permission to host
these programs.
The majority of programs include copyright statements which are clear in
the boot file, the loading screens, manual and the program code (when
viewed in an ASCII viewer). It is therefore wrong to try and publish the
games without explicit permission to do so from the copyright holders as
there is no question as to who wrote / published the software.
The following titles at least are listed in direct breach of copyright and
if you have seen the previous discussions on speccy.org, you know that I,
Tom Dolezal (of Talent) and Jochen Merz all wrote and demanded that our
programs be removed from that site - only to be bombarded by people
bringing our characters into dispute.
I am disappointed that you have made no attempt at all to contact me or the
other copyright holders - why have you not done this? Unlike you, I have
spent many hours tracking down and trying to contact copyright holders and
been successful in contacting many.
It is interesting (for example) that you have uploaded QL PC Conqueror, but
not the MS-DOS disk needed to run the program - presumably because you know
that Microsoft are more likely to bring court action against you.
Text87 Plus 4 - the author of this has stated that this will NEVER be made
freeware despite my best efforts.
QLPaint (Talent)
PCB 1, PCB 2, Basic Ally (Talent)
ICE, Karate, 3D Slime, Spook, 3D Land (Eidersoft) - The copyright holder
(current company who were Eidersoft) have again refused to make this
freeware despite my best efforts
Qliberator (Liberation Software) - Again the author has refused to make
this freeware despite my best efforts
Brainsmasher, Diamonds, Full House, Crazy Cards (Jochen Merz Software)
QLFlight, Alien Hijack, The Lost Pharoah, Strip Poker, Hopper, Jungle Eddi,
Quazimodo, Cuthbert, Crazy Painter, Cosmos, Night Nurse, West and Lost
Kingdom of Zkul, Aquanaut 471, Horrorday (Talent)
Flightdeck (SPAM! Software and B. Denchfield)
Vroom, Wanderer (Pyramide)
QL Jabber, Meteor Storm (Arrakis)
D-DAY (Games Workshop)
QL Hyperdrive - again the author has expressly denied his permission for
this game to be re-released
Metacomco Compilers are problematic as they are based on licences from
Borland mainly - the people who ran Metacomco are on Facebook, but are
unwilling to discuss this - presumably because of the licensing issue.
Please note that Tridim (Pyramide) is now freeware thanks to permission
from Pyramide
As you are aware, I have the marketing rights to software by Jochen Merz
Software, Talent, SPAM! Software, Arrakis and Pyramide titles.
Please therefore remove these with immediate effect and confirm the number
of illegal downloads of these programs.
SPAM! Software
Como no tenía suficiente:
There are some further programs on there which have been missed and are
copyright :
DEATH (This is DeathStrike by Talent and so I have the distribution rights)
HAVOC (This is Lands of Havoc by Microdeal / Talent and so I have the
distribution rights)
Droidzone (This is by Paul Tuck - again I have the distribution rights)
SPAM! Software
Y la cosa continua...:

pero Oh Wait ! , seguimos recibiendo correos.
Dear Sirs,
I am disappointed that the discussion on your site is continuing to bring
my name into disrepute - I have a long history of supporting the QL and its
users but unfortunately, you have refused to allow me access to your site
to refute and correct the various allegations.
Those who have any interest might like to read the following:
http://www.SPAM!.co.uk/viewtopic.php? ... 150#p13485
This highlights what has been achieved so far by my personal preservation
project, despite what your members seem to think.
There also seems to be some confusion over my software - suggestions that I
take copyright software and continue to sell it even though I do not have
the rights.
a) Cash Trader and QL Payroll by Chas Dillon - in effect I only charge for
the changes I made to these programs and ongoing support. Chas Dillon was
supportive of this at the time, as he had no interest in continuing work on
the programs and he decided to make his sources publically available.
b) The software on http://SPAM!/updates.html
This is ALL copyright software. I offer working copies of the software to
help those who can prove that they own originals, so that they can still
access working versions in the absence of any other support method. I do
not provide these programs without proof of ownership of the original so
the charge is only for support and not a breach of copyright. If people
want to offer a similar service free of charge, then they can of course do
so, but must insist on seeing proof of ownership.
I would suggest that if people want clarification over issues then they
have the courtesy to contact me directly via my website rather than posting
upsetting comments on your forum, in the hope that I will read and respond
(I guess they do not know that I have been told I am not welcome on your
forums and so cannot respond).
Maybe they would prefer I withdrew as a retro trader completely and stopped
providing the type of support for QL users I have been known for for the
past 30 years.
It is a shame that your members feel free to slander me and try to ruin my
reputation. As a direct result, you will see that I have already stated
that I intend doing no more with my own preservation project for now and
will not be trying to track down any other copyright holders and ask them
to release the software as freeware. This has the result that the masses
of QL software in my possession (much of which is still to be sorted
through) will remain in my possession and unavailable to QL users.
As people will find from the spreadsheet linked to on the QL Forum, there
is a mass of freeware which is either missing in action, or corrupt. All
of which it would be better for the community to work together to track
down and get working rather than moaning about software which is still
available to purchase.
quietos, que todavía falta lo mejor por venir...
Ahora después de tanto aspaviento, es cuando preguntamos:

Dear sirs,
What exactly are you looking for?
I can ask for Tom Dolezal (Talent) and other copyright holders to email you directly, otherwise, the copyright statements are generally clear in the loading screens, boot screens, manuals and program code if you bothered looking.
There is no certificate of ownership as that is not required to establish copyright status. Copyright protection exists as soon as a program / book etc is written. It is up to publishers to prove that they have the rights to publish the item.
SPAM! Software
No se hace tardar no ....
It has been brought to my attention by SPAM! software, that you are illegally distributing through your website the following programs for the QL computer:
QLFlight, Alien Hijack, The Lost Pharoah, Strip Poker, Hopper, Jungle Eddi, Quazimodo, Cuthbert, Crazy Painter, Cosmos, Night Nurse, West and Lost Kingdom of Zkul, Aquanaut 471, Horrorday.
These programs are the copyright of my company, Talent+ since 1992. You have no licence or consent from myself or my company, Talent+, the copyright holder to supply or distribute this software in any format . Only SPAM! software are the authorised distributor for these QL programs.
I therefore demand:
1. that you immediately remove the above mentioned titles from your website
2. to destroy all copies of the above mentioned programs and provide written confirmation of this.
3. to provide full details regarding the copies of each of these programs you have illegally distributed in breach of my copyright.
I trust that you will co-operate fully in resolving this copyright infringement as it is covered by international copyright law.
Tom Dolezal

Good. Thank you.
Please obtain permission before posting any of my work online again. It is not abandonware, whatever that may mean, and you will note that I have been generous with my work, e.g. Turbo, when further development was facilitated by sharing all the original source and documentation, and releasing my DIY Toolkit with source and bonus materials as Cardware, I have also made a custom version of SPEEDSCREEN for registered users of the emulator QL2K. This does not mean that anyone can copy my work and it is certainly not in the public domain unless I have explicitly said so.
> Please Kindly send us any documentation or certificate of ownership of the software and its legal registration.
There is no legal registration of copyright or requirement for it in the UK. You can see that my name Simon N Goodwin is prominent in the software and manual.

Y esta es la historia de lo que no se ha visto.
Tristemente, no tienen nada que demostrar.
El juego Alien Hijack para el ordenador QL, del cual Tom Dolezal (Talent+) dice tener el copyright, fue desarrollado y vendido por Colin Maxwell de Chisoft.
Según dice Tom Dolezal, él es el poseedor del copyright desde 1992. Nos han sugerido que se contacte con Colin Maxwell para verificar lo dicho por Tom Dolezal. Por si alguien le quiere dar al bombo o agitar el avispero, en lo que a nosotros en RW respecta, pasamos. Esto es surraealista.
Colin Maxwell en linkedin: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/colin-maxwell-5b218282
Así que eso que tienen los derechos está por demostrar, andar por ahí reclamando que tienen los derechos y que se borren los repositorios de los demás, pero sin presentar documento alguno que demuestre que tienen esos derechos, un número de registro, un certificado legal, tan solo esos correos que no llevan ninguna identificación ni número de registro legal.
Eso de andar por la red con el cuento que se tienen los derechos e ir amenazando a los demás para que borremos lo que se ha preservado, sin demostrar que se tienen esos derechos...., no tienen nada y están sacando tajada de cosas que ni siquiera son suyas ni les pertenecen. Es lo malo que tienen los mercachifles, que se aprovechan como siempre del trabajo de los demás.
Todavía estamos esperando una respuesta seria a la pregunta que se les hizo y se pusieron como monas.
Were still waiting. Please Kindly send us any documentation or certificate of ownership of the software and its legal registration.

Success in Sports: Revel the Person you Are
Dream, Desire, Dedication. Clear your mind, channel your energy, and reach for the gold. Playing sports is not only healthy, but also builds character. I believe playing sports makes you a better person- physically and mentally. "Be a member of a team, rely on the team, defer to it, and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion" Mia Hamm. Sports teach a sundry of lessons: focusing, cooperating with others, practice makes perfect, discipline, sportsmanship, taking criticism, and being a leader. I've been playing soccer since I was four, and I have loved it ever since.
You are stepping on the field to play a game, think about the task at head. Focus is concentrating your attention and energy. Only think about what you're going to accomplish during the game.
Being on the same team is like being in the same family. You would do anything for your team, and you know they would be there for you. You understand that you are not always right and learn to cooperate with your other team members. Sports create a special bond between team members that teach you to listen to other people's ideas and learn from them.
Practice the way you want to play is what my dad always tells me. In order to achieve your dreams you must practice and apply yourself everyday so you can become a better player. This teaches you to work hard so it will pay off in the long run.
"The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking" Mia Hamm. That is an example of discipline which is how hard you push yourself. You are the only person that can make yourself work harder, and I believe that is a good quality that sports teach.
You lost the game, but you know the right thing to do is shake hands with the other team. "A person of character plays fair even when others don't and values no achievement unless attained with honor" Michael Josephson. Sports teach that no matter how the game went be the better person, and do the right thing.
"Come on, get in the game!" a teammate shouts to you while you're playing. Don't take it personally. Work hard to improve because your teammate only wants you to get better. Sports teach how to take criticism the right way.
Your team decides to be lazy and not warm-up. Take charge; tell them to start stretching. Athletics help you to become a leader and learn to take charge when needed.
Playing sports is healthy, and builds character. I believe playing sports makes you a better person- physically and mentally. By playing sports you are experiencing being a member of a team, focus, good sportsmanship, practice, taking criticism, being a leader, and discipline. Get out there and play, and just remember, "Go hard or go home" Michelle Akers.

Thai customs can be a bit confusing; foreigners are not expected to know and follow local etiquette to the letter, but good manners and appropriate dress will earn you instant respect. A few small gestures and a general awareness will help foster a spirit of good will. First-time visitors are sure to make a few laughable mistakes: read below carefully in order to avoid the more offensive faux pas.
Thais greet each other with a graceful bow called a wai. Hands are pressed together; the higher they are held, the greater the respect. Younger people are always expected to wai an elder first, who will almost always return the gesture. Foreigners are more or less exempt from this custom. In hotels, doormen, bellhops, and waitresses will frequently wai to you. Don't feel compelled to return the greeting; a simple smile of acknowledgment is all that's necessary. In situations where a wai is appropriate, like when meeting a person of obvious status, a friend's mother or father, or a monk, don't fret about the position of your hands. To keep them level to your chest is perfectly acceptable. Two exceptions -- never wai a child, and never expect a monk to wai back (they are exempted from the custom).
One of the most important points of Thai etiquette to remember is that Thais expect a certain level of equanimity, calm, and light-heartedness in any personal dealings. If you are prone to temper, aggravation, and frustration, Thailand can be a challenge. Displays of anger and confrontational behavior, especially from foreign visitors, get you nowhere. Thais don't just think such outbursts are rude but believe them to be an indication of a lesser-developed human being. Getting angry and upset is in essence "losing face" by acting shamefully in front of others, and Thai people will walk away or giggle, to spare revealing their embarrassment. Travelers who throw fits often find themselves ignored or abandoned by the very people who could help.
So what do you do if you encounter a frustrating situation? The Thai philosophy advocates chai yen, meaning, "Take it easy. Chill." If it's a situation you can't control, like a traffic jam or a delayed flight -- chai yen. If you find yourself at loggerheads with the front desk, arguing with a taxi driver, or in any other truly frustrating situation, keep calm, try a little humor, and find a non-confrontational, compromising solution that will save face for all involved.
The Thais hold two things sacred: their religion and their royal family. In temples and royal palaces, strict dress code is enforced. Wear long pants or skirts, with a neat shirt, and tops with shoulder-covering sleeves. Remove shoes and hats before entering temple buildings if it is the custom (that's always indicated at entry), and give worshippers their space. Be mindful of your feet -- sit with your legs curled beside you, never in front, or pointing at the Buddha image. While photographing images is sometimes allowed, do not climb on any image or pose near it in a way that can be seen as showing disrespect. Women should be especially cautious around monks, who are not allowed to touch members of the opposite sex. If a woman needs to hand something to a monk, she should either hand it to a man to give to the monk, or place the item in front of him. Important: Never, ever, say anything critical or improper about the royal family, past or present, not even in jest. Never deface images of royalty (on coins, stamps, or posters); this will result in a hefty prison sentence. In movie theaters, everyone is expected to stand for the national anthem, which is played before every screening.
Young Thai society may seem very liberal, but it is in fact remarkably conservative and sartorially prudish. You will notice that educated Thais always cover their shoulders and wear knee- or ankle-length hemlines. Men tend to wear a mix of casual-smart gear with collared shirts and would never be unkempt. In the city, it is considered extremely improper to dress in cut-off shorts, skimpy tops, singlets, or postage-stamp miniskirts. This may look good for a night's clubbing but is regarded by locals as unacceptable attire -- unless you are working in a go-go bar, or want to give that impression. On beaches, European women sometimes sunbathe topless; this is never accepted by locals, many of whom are Muslim. Foreign men who choose to go bare-chested are regarded with equal distaste, and moreover, distrust.
Thais avoid public displays of affection. While straight members of the same gender often hold hands, or walk arm in arm (this includes men), you'll rarely see a Thai man and woman acting this way. Thai women who date foreign men flaunt these rules openly, but as a rule of thumb, Thais frown upon lovers who touch, hug, or kiss in public.
Buddhists believe the feet are the lowliest part of the body, so using the foot to point or touch an object in Thailand is unbelievably insulting. Do not point your feet at a person or a Buddha image, or use your foot to tap a runaway coin (it bears the king's image).
In contrast, the head is considered the most sacred part of the body. Don't touch a Thai on the head or tousle a child's hair, but rather offer a friendly pat on the back. Even barbers have to ask permission to touch a customer's crown.

The negative publicity and the civil and criminal probes surrounding Ogilvy's billing practices on the account aren't expected to deter likely contenders, including WPP sibling shop Y&R Advertising, former agency for the U.S. Army; current Army shop Bcom3 Group's Leo Burnett USA; and Cordiant Communications Group's Bates World-wide, which along with Zenith Media formerly handled the drug office. Bates confirmed it would bid, while Burnett declined to comment. A Y&R spokeswoman said it was "impossible to say right now" whether the shop would bid.
Interpublic Group of Cos.' McCann-Erickson Worldwide and Grey Global Group's Grey Worldwide both said they'd consider bidding. A request for proposals is expected Sept. 6.
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy in its initial notice of plans to rebid last week said it seeks a full-service ad agency, even though much of the work is media buying and media planning, and most creative comes from the Partnership for Drug Free America. Ogilvy wouldn't say whether it would compete. While the drug office on Aug. 23 announced plans to rebid the contract, citing "a desire to reaffirm the integrity of the procurement process," a statement that seemed to indicate Ogilvy's contract wouldn't be renewed, no immediate action was taken to cancel the existing contract. Ogilvy is in the third year of a contract that can be renewed annually for up to five years.
Ogilvy in a statement blamed political pressure for the decision. "We have delivered measurable and undisputed results," the statement said. "While we recognize the intense pressure brought by Congress has caused [the drug office] to rebid the contract, we are proud that our work has saved lives and helped to improve the quality of life in communities across America."
Ogilvy critic U.S. Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., last week called the drug office's administration of the contract "utter incompetence" and the rebidding "even more incredible," in a letter to President Bush.

Thailand summary
Staying in bungalows on this beach. Morning walk to explore found some cool little shacks.
Landed in Koh Samui last night and there was a French bar open down the street with incredible vibe. Walked down to the beach in previous photo around 8am. The water is cool and shallow, no waves. Around the corner while walking through the rocky beach was this temple. Journeyed on later to Lamai beach and had a woman give me a foot scrub that feels like new baby feet. Walking around the island is great. The locals very sweet. A stray dog just wandered into the apartment ...
Today is Buddha day. And tomorrow is the start of Buddhist lent. Arrived to Thailand on two day holiday where they don't sell alcohol. This woman solid us beers from her raft for 100Bat/$3 each. Right after a Komodo dragon slipped down into the water from a rock nearby. This part of the river could be described as a smoothie of rotten. Also purchased from this woman was a Coca Cola for our 5yr old co-captain whom the sweet mother was letting steer our boat
Spent more of the day moving then seeing. Mediterranean breakfast. Sat on yoga mats and ants. Thai Canadian taxi pickup. Beers at French hostel. Hot Thai girl with pigtails. Talked to a parrot. Did gymnastics on a massage woman while we both laughed. Tiger Balm. The wrong ferry. Tipped the taxi 80% because he almost killed us, himself and everyone in our path to help catch a flight to Phuket. Samui airport is coolest chilliest airport I've ever been to. Hour long cab from Phuket Int. to Patong Beach. Snail gold. Market prices. My bed has wheels. Also this song by blood orange is the tits.
Tawandang Chiang Mai. "This is probably the most authentic Thai experience you will have up until now. Get out your camera" maybe a couple thousand people and being the only 5 foreigners doesn't describe it well. Off the charts insane everyone at 6 tops. Hot girls dancing live band no interruption ever in the set. Some guy cheersing and then talking to us and translation means. "Finish your drink now". Slammed it. Good night
Paid this dude $5 a day for the moto. Bavarian. Joined him for a Chang beer at 11am. His insight was great.He rents the garden for parties. Anyone interested?
Rode to Haad Rin today on bikes. Where the full moon party is. Feels like the Venice boardwalk of the island but the journey to it is one hell of a fun ride. Up and down hills and curves I have to remind myself the last time I rode a bike I was ten and crashed it into a mailbox the first day. Got stopped at a police checkpoint. Officer said "you're American Sniper". Was a long 5 seconds and then he laughed and said "you look like Bradley Cooper." Sure why not.
Woke up today in Chiang Mai at 7. Feels like people are more friendly here and I haven't been here more than a day. Staying at what seems like the ace hotel of Thailand. Best sleep of the trip so far. Rode motos an hour up the mountain into Suthep National Park. Was cold and the scenery reminded me of Tennessee and some of Percy Warner parks road. Was some fog and cold. one lane road through the the woods where you always honk your horn around every corner. Stopped here on the way down at Doi Suthep. 300 stairs up. Barefoot exploring the temple. Amazing presence but hard to process it all. Cameras don't work. This was how I ingested it. Off to a night market
Decided to go the distance. This is the arrival to Phi Phi Island. Stumbled on crazy pool party on arrival. @amongsavages gave a "Sorry. No requests please" sign he had tucked away in his notebook from months ago to the DJ. Instant high fives. Island seems small, crowded and young. Paradise party. Old man, Som, hooked up a place to stay overlooking south beach. New Facebook friends. Mountain kudzu trees and rock wall directly behind the room. Local kids playing soccer in the sand. They played Alan Jackson by the water, which is so calm it looks like a river, and cooked us homemade food. Felt like the guest of honor.
Last 3 days in Chiang Mai has been the best food of the trip yet. Northern Thai sausage is amazing. Friday night out at the bars drinking sang som at little tables. Easily one of the coolest things I've experienced that's so simple. Bars close at midnight because of curfew. Learning facts like Thailand King is richest royal in the world or that technically you can get a 10yr prison sentence for having an e-cig. Met a crazy older white man who told me he killed a man and got rid of the body in the Chiang Mai moat. He introduced himself as Michael. I said "my name is Michael too, welcome to the club". But he's the first Michael I've met that I felt didn't belong. Local rumor was that he's ex CIA who has lost his mind. Definitely lost it. Took a two hr bus up north to Pai. Note how the women sit sideways on the moto. It's common to see a family of 3 or 4 on one. Hot springs time...
Boat day part 2.
💿: Jens Lekman's Summer Never Ends Mixtape
Thum Lod cave. Went for the tourist 8 hour adventure package with hot springs, waterfall, canyon and cave. The cave was a trip. Like a Disney ride through the goonies set. Three at a time with a guide holding a kerosine lantern. Our guide was a sweet older woman who had to have been between 75-80. Bamboo rafts floating deep inside and stopping several times to climb high inside. Laughed with our guide while she pointed to a rock that looked like either a testicle or a boob. She loved it
The nightlife on Phi Phi is like a frat party on fire. Off the charts testosterone paired with day booze cruises and literal buckets of alcohol. It's a blend of bourbon street, printers alley, and spring break nightclub vibes. The clubs are so loud you can hear them across the island falling asleep. You see backpackers that look like zombies you hope won't wake up in rabid terror. The streets are littered with young travelers raging and the massage ladies asking if you want a blowjob by making the sound of popping bubbles with their mouth. "Sexy man sexy man bop bop". It's definitely interesting and I'm sure I would have stayed longer if I was 20. Must move on. Onto Chiang Mai...
Boat Day Part 1: No Captain. Incredible.
Decided to stay at the resort one extra day which means probably a third day too. When in robe? Got to chapter 3 in a book. Can't wait to get to chapter 11. The smoothie girl is so stoked to be making smoothies. The manager talks about what she's grateful for. Ready to ask if they're hiring. The only action of the day was riding north to explore this new beach. Blew a tire off road and a guy fixed it for 200 thb/$5.72, the same price for renting it per day, the same price as dinner. Everything seems 200 baht. Fireworks are legal here and they sell them at the markets. Currently watching someone shoot them off from a boat
I gave her my phone and she typed in "Ann". This is her friend, the owner of the club, the boss. Ann beat me 9/10 games of connect four. Not so good, but at previous spot I sunk the eight ball after a wink and kiss to the girl. Dancing in the Dark was jamming. Gave a girl a lap dance and then crashed the motorbike. The landlord today gave the best advice. Don't do anything I would do.
Pai. Sounds like bye. Similar to a small town in the south in the states. Days are slow. Some backpacker bonnaroo vibes at night but can actually be chill in town or in the country. Amazing food. food market during the day was choice. What taste like fried lemongrass coconut chicken for fifty cents. Got low with a dog at the entrance to a seven eleven. No one on earth sleeps better then the dogs in Pai. 💿: Thai country music
Boat Part 3: A mix of natural geographic, ghetto robb report and goonies. The best day of the trip so far. It doesn't make sense until you see this stuff close up. The same with Big Sur etc. Exactly what I day dreamed of as a kid reading natural geographic. Hiked around an entire island. Stopped for a mojito on a beach. Swam with Nemo. Boat captains name was Sun. He bailed on driving for a second to smoke a cig and tie up something but left us full speed ahead. The engines on the boats are next level. Incredible 💿: Jens Lekman's Summer Never Ends Mixtape
Woke up feeling Iike the sedated tiger I saw the other day. Probably more frail. Spent most of the day trying to read. Trying didn't work. Getting used to the butt spray thing in the bathroom. Drove 20 mins off-roading up a mountain with many wooden signs promising "viewing point". Parked the bikes and climbed up the rocks to a tiny hut. Bought the only Chang beer from a woman who lives on a mat on the upper deck. the viewing point...

I looked on line for recipes and decided to go with whatever ingredients I had to hand!
When you work for a Meat stall at a Farmers Market, surprisingly offel is pretty much always left unsold. I couldn't resist these Hearts! And thought I could do something with those!
- In the tray of hearts of squeezed lime juice, tore some coriander, grated some fresh ginger, chopped some fresh chilli an drizzled a little olive oil.
- Mix and allow to marinade for a few hours.
- Skewer the chicken hearts with cocktail sticks and fry on a low heat turning occasionally
- Once nicely browned all over serve and enjoy!

10 Best TV Actors
Wonder who the best TV actors in 2010 are? There have been a number of TV actors raising the bar for the small screen. From doctors to detectives to mad men, here are ten of the best actors working on TV in 2010.
- Hugh Laurie, "House M.D." – Hugh Laurie stars on the medical drama "House M.D." as head of a diagnostic medical team in a Philadelphia hospital. Laurie has a dry sense of humor and it is his crass comments elevating the show a step above the typical medical drama. Laurie won two Golden Globes with five nominations in a row as of 2010.
- Nathan Fillion, "Castle" – Nathan Fillion started out on the small TV show "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place." Since then, he became a cult favorite on series such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly." Fillion finally found his hit show with the police procedural "Castle" playing a mystery writer partnered with a police detective.
- Jon Hamm, "Mad Men" – Jon Hamm has been an excellent comedic actor with Emmy nominated turns on "30 Rock" and has settled into his role as ad-man Don Draper on "Mad Men." Hamm won a Golden Globe in 2008 for "Mad Men" and received nominations in the first three seasons of the show.
- Michael C. Hall, "Dexter" – Michael C. Hall flew under the radar the first couple of years on the Showtime series "Dexter." In 2010, he won his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of the police forensic scientist/serial killer. "Dexter" turned up the volume in Season 4 and Hall finally turned some heads.
- Simon Baker, "The Mentalist" – Simon Baker drifted along with minor movie roles and small TV parts until 2008 when he found himself as the star of the hit CBS detective series "The Mentalist." At first, it appeared to be a copycat of USA's hit series "Psych." Thanks to the star wattage of Baker, "The Mentalist" has developed a strong personality of its own.
- Matthew Gray Gubler, "Criminal Minds" – Between Mandy Patinkin ("Princess Bride"), Joe Mantegna ("The Godfather: Part III") and Thomas Gibson ("Dharma & Greg"), "Criminal Minds" owns a level of talent not seen on many police procedurals. However, a younger actor has risen to stand toe-to-toe with the veterans. Matthew Gray Gubler portrays Dr. Reid, a brilliant member of the profiler team. In 2009, he also co-starred in the hit indie movie "(500) Days of Summer."
- Jensen Ackles, "Supernatural" – When "Supernatural" replaced "Angel" on the WB, it had a lot to live up to. The show went from being a "monster of the week" episodic genre show to one of the best monster shows in years. The series is entering its sixth season as the Winchester brothers prepare for a battle between heaven and hell. Ackles costarred on "Dawson's Creek" and "Smallville" before getting the chance to shine in "Supernatural." He has never looked back.
- David Boreanaz, "Bones" – David Boreanaz made a name for himself playing the vampire with a soul on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." It would have been easy for Boreanaz to get pigeonholed into a specific typecast. He reacted by signing on to play an FBI agent partnered with an anthropologist from the Smithsonian. Boreanaz proved he is more than just a one-trick pony.
- James Roday, "Psych" – It is hard to believe before he was cast in "Psych," James Roday might have been best known for a redneck racecar driver in the "Dukes of Hazzard" movie adaptation. When "Psych" began, it was hoping to hang on to the audience of lead-in "Monk." When "Monk" said goodbye following its eighth season, "Psych" had become one of USA Networks highest rated shows. A lot of that has to do with the comedic timing of its star.
- Neil Patrick Harris, "How I Met Your Mother" – The former "Doogie Howser" has come a long way. He built a large cult following with his roles in "Harold & Kumar" and "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog." He also parlayed the success of his hit TV show "How I Met Your Mother" into a critically lauded Emmy performance and a recent guest-starring role on "Glee."

It's no secret i've been dying to go to Brazil for the past 4 years (at least)…due work, university projects and bad timing I've never managed to go..but finally all dreams come true..don't they? When F*Hits invited me to spend a whole week in Sao Paulo I was full of excitement to discover this beautiful country and of course willing to discover Brazilian fashion..which i hardly knew. Well, this trip has changed a bit of me, a bit of my entire human being. I'm spanish even i've spent the last 8 years of my life in england and feeling this warmth was a total surprise..I knew brazilians are a hot country, but they are also generous, happy, giving, helpful, modern and a beautiful country too. During this time (I ended up extending my stay for a bit longer, as I literally fell in love with the country) F*Hits pampered us everyday with daily make up and manicures while we had the oportunity to meet up and chat with Daniela Falcão, chief editor of Vogue Brasil, meet the amazing Constaza Pascolato (one of the most inspirational women on earth) at the head quarters of Fasanao( Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were staying in the room below us..imagine the tension!!!).I also had time to shoot a campaign with my mate Hanneli who was there too, meet the talented and beautiful bloggers from Brazil like Mariah, Camille, gorgeous Renata, Bia and many more!…Also I bumped into my fellow international bloggers Yvan and BryanBoy at the Bienal where the fashion shows of SPFW like Iodice, Neon, Maria Bonita were held, and must say that the place is absolutely incredible. Super well organised, with chilling areas, press offices for each magazine, few runway rooms…So many fashion weeks should come and check it out because they should learn loads from SPFW! But one of the best bits of my whole trip was having a minder like Lorena, she has been like my bestie while i've been there. She truly has looked after me during my stay and has showed me the city. Obrigada!!!
In order of appearance I'm wearing: rose print dress by Reiss with Balone brazalet. Reiss white jumper and Tigresse jumpsuit. Green shirt by Pelu with dress by Tigresse, glasses by Reiss 1971 and h&m headband. Alice + Olivia black dress with mesh by TopShop, all belts vintage ,sandals by River Island and bag by Corello. Brown Alaia sandals with cream knitted TopShop dress and vintage gold necklace from SanFrancisco.

In Pimps We Trust - no doubt! The worldwide audience can't be wrong about the Boogie Pimps urban club-sound over the time. Now, after ten years of rehearsal under the dramaturgy of director Mark J Klak, it's time for the premiere. Motion instead of bored listening: In Pimps We Trust is a story which will be told on the dance floor. And with this longplayer the Pimps are closing the german One-Hit-Wonder-chapter. Another, a fascinating story begins with the words "Attack and Release". Live percussions meeting pumping squeezers and lovely background keys. You have to hold on for a second to handle this strong and special intro. So you can get into tracks like "All Day" and "Major Tom" with their pulsing synth basslines, dominating claps and sunshine melodies which are picking you up directly to the next Open-Air stage.
80's Synths, peak time action and the Boogie Pimps typical gimmick between dizzying atmospheric- and hands-up-parts are making the tracks so special. "24 Seven", "Brown Paper" and "Knocking" with their gorgeously treated disco loops are pretty much unique and already successful released. The secret behind such numbers is the touring experience - the Boogie Pimps know the audience and their preferences very well. And by the way, the duo is keen to experiment with new and old technologies and so you can hear wild self-made vocal parts, TB303 - homages and well done sample-gimmicks. Tracks like "Getting Funky" or "Time Waits For No One" are telling something more about the Boogie Pimps producing: Sometimes it needs a 2nd view over an old script to put today's beats into a new chapter. "Timeout", "TV" and "Supergroove Interlude" are leaving no doubt because of their clear beauty and the melodic volume - in Pimps you can truly trust!

PORT ANGELES — Olympic Medical Center's aquatic therapy program and the hydrotherapy pool that anchors it had been scheduled to shut down Sept. 1 for lack of $50,000 needed for repairs.
Instead, that $50,000 could be raised within the next 30 days thanks to a $25,000 commitment made earlier this month from an anonymous donor, $10,000 more in donations announced Sunday and a fundraiser planned for Saturday, said Bruce Skinner, executive director of the Olympic Medical Center Foundation.
The $10,000 announced Sunday included $6,000 from a single donor, but donations "came in all shapes and sizes," Skinner said.
"There were a lot of 10s, 20s, and 25s."
Proceeds from "Hog Wild — A Night of Games, Suds and Grub" at Barhop Brewing in Port Angeles on Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. is a new fundraising event that will include a pig roast.
The foundation had planned to make it a general fundraiser until OMC CEO Eric Lewis approached Skinner about raising money to keep the pool operational, Skinner said.
The "Hog Wild" event committee took note, Skinner recalled.
"We all on the committee thought what a great purpose for the event," Skinner said.
"We might fall a little short after 'Hog Wild,' but I feel confident that there are number of people who are not going to the event who are going to make donations.
"I think between people attending the event and receiving donations that we will reach the $50,000 in 30 days."
The funds will pay for a new liner for the pool and other renovations.
"The liner is expensive because of the pool's features, which include an underwater treadmill and an adjustable floor," Skinner said in a prepared statement Sunday about the $10,000 that was raised.
Center officials announced at the Aug. 6 hospital commissioners' work session that an anonymous donor would give $25,000 toward the effort on condition that it be matched.
"Hog Wild" will include a donation jar, a raffle and games that participants will pay to play, Skinner said.
The foundation also has raised $7,000 in sponsorships, which would more than cover event costs expected to be $2,000-$3,000, he said.
If ticket sales, as expected, cover those costs, the sponsorships will be added to the amount that will pay for improvements to the hydrotherapy pool.
OMC officials had said they needed to shut down the pool because of high operating costs and the need to replace the liner.
OMC has frozen capital spending after losing about $1.4 million in 2014.
Pool users and others have packed commissioners' meetings to support keeping the facility open.
OMC officials hope to keep the pool open through 2015 by restructuring pool management and increasing the number of users.
"We've always recognized it as very important, but basically what we're going to do is, we're going to work to support the pool, since unfortunately in the current environment, the pool dynamics don't work to support the program," Dr. Scott Kennedy, OMC chief medical officer, told commissioners at the Aug. 6 meeting.
"We will work to re-engineer things and give it our very best shot."
The pool is relied on by patients with physical therapy needs such as arthritis and other maladies.
Supporters say that at 94 degrees, the pool is a more viable option that cooler William Shore Memorial Pool in Port Angeles.
The OMC pool also has trained physical therapy staff to help patients.
The next closest hydrotherapy pool is in Silverdale.
To donate to the fundraising effort, phone the foundation 360-417-7144 or mail checks to the foundation office at 928 Caroline St., Port Angeles, WA, 98362
