There can only be one

The best news of those days, is the fact that  Sacha Baron (finally?) decided to not participate in the upcoming biography/movie of Freddie Mercury.  You can read about it in the link
no freddie role for Sacha Baron


Knowing the Queen boys a bit (what is spelled incorrectly as 'the band', because there are only 2 of the 4 band members involved...)  they will put it on and find another 'star'  Johnny Depp was an alternative, maybe he returns, but if he is wise he doesnt.

One of the finest reactions I read on this was the reaction of Barb, who thinks it is good when there might be no movie, because she will stand up every time and yell, hey, that's not correct.

I fear that that will be the truth. It happens with many films, with many movies, that the truth is twisted to something more romantic then it actually is.
We, the fans, dont need such movies.  The question is, who does need these at all.

Is it a way to press the last juice from the lemon, to get some money from the Queen past?  I dont know.  My heart did close for the 'present '  queen activities.  Behind the door the memories are safe at all those good concerts, the wonderuul freinds and the great music.  And at the other side of the door?  I fear i see too much rapes of the Queen phenomena.  Ah well, that is nothing new, I know and  a lot of people know my opinion.

Luckily some share my opinion in this as well.  I step off my soapbox for yet. it is too hot for ths :), give us some ice and the prime jive

News of the world

Let's talk about news, and what it is worth

Well, what it is worth for you and me, more or less common people.

Weeks ago the 'hot news'  was that Nelson Mandela was again in the hospital. And I am sure that we were all close before an immense  media flush, magazins and and and, you name it,t.  When famous people pass away there is always a lot of money to earn with.
Well, Mr Mandela did decide different, he is stil with us, so the industry has to wait.

No worries, they have otehr ways to get our attention.  A british tennis player that wins at wimbledon, for example.
Or the heat, that finally did come, and that at a moment that the public holidays are at their top.

Social networks like twitter and facebook are bombed with pictures of people, telling where they are, what they do and how warm it is.  The newspaper top with bathing people that I dont know, somewhwere in the sun.
And today we got an extra news item, because one of the royal family in the UK was brought to the hospital. No, no coma, that privilege is for the dutch (and hardly making money, but they are waiting for it, the stories are ready, believe me).  No, it is that Kate, who gets a baby.  As from this morning, 8 am, we here every 30 minutes that she is in the hospital and that the entire world is waiting for the royal vagina to open.
Now, what a news that is!  I already foresee the nightmare at Facebook, the pictures of the new born princess, the poor child, what will not have a chance to grow up normal, even when their parents want it. The press, we (we buy the stuff, so we encourage them to do so) will not leave them alone.

That's news in the summer of 2013.  Well, I can add my news, I did  find my favorite summer shirt back, maybe I should post that under all the 'no news'  postings that are coming up. :)

O,yes, and it is hot, dont forget that!

Who fools who

It is about books this time, and more particular, about this book
The cuckoo's calling, the debute album from Robert Gailbraith.

Unknown name, you say, yes, true.  But you know there is something with that book, it sounds so familiar.  Indeed it is.
The book is released a month or two ago, gently floating between the other books, until  recently, when it was revealed that this is a book from JK Rowling, thie inventor of broomsticks and dumbledore, and a guy, harry snotter or so. :)

All the sudden the book became a hype and talk of the town. A new Rowling, also, a MUST have.
I dont know what to think about it.  First of all, I dont know the book -yet- and secondly, is it all coincidence, how comes that such secrets all the sudden leak out and give the book sellings an immense boost (we talk about a lot of money in this). Smart advertising? Or was there someone disrespecting Rowlings'  privacy and just found it necessary to tell the secret?

It is said that she, Rowling, wanted to write in the anonymity, what is understandable, because all she is doing is related to the Harry Potter books, and even when that was a huge success, literarily it is not a highlight, it is just a nice fairy tale story. (with many unended chapters).

I just dont know!  And you can say, why should I care,  I even can ask myself do I care?  It is just that again I feel fooled and not taken seriously with the commercial business.  I realy enjoy her having her success, but this way I, as reader, have the feeling that I am not taken seriously with this early revelation.  '
Maybe I go to read it. But first I want to finish the books that I did love so much in my yuoth. De kamelion. About two brothers and their adventures with a ship.  I now it is not high literature, but maybe, in the meenwhile, the rowling fairy tale rolls into my epub collection. You never know who fools who :)

The secret of the lemon

This article was in my inbox, and I like to share it with you all.

Better late than never know, right?

The surprising benefits of lemon: Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells.

It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do not we know about? Because there are laboratories that are interested in making a synthetic version of it with huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting you know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing cancer diseases.

Es ist 10.000-mal stärker als Chemotherapie.
Alles, was man braucht, ist … eine gefrorene Zitrone.
Viele Profis in Restaurants und Gaststätten verwenden bzw. verbrauchen die gesamte Zitrone, und nichts wird weggeworfen.
Wie können Sie die ganze Zitrone verwenden – ohne Abfall?
Einfach … legen Sie die gewaschene Zitrone ins Gefrierfach Ihres Kühlschranks. Sobald die Zitrone gefroren ist, nehmen Sie Ihre Küchenreibe und zerschnitzeln die ganze Zitrone (ohne sie zu schälen) und bestreuen damit Ihre Speisen.
Streuen Sie alles über Salate, Eiscreme, Suppen, Getreideflocken, Nudeln, Spaghetti-Saucen, Reis, Sushi, Fischgerichte, Whisky.. die Liste ist endlos.
Alle Lebensmittel werden einen unerwartet wunderbaren Geschmack erhalten, wie Sie ihn nie zuvor gekannt haben.
Höchstwahrscheinlich haben Sie bisher bei Zitronen nur an Zitronensaft und Vitamin C gedacht. Ab jetzt wohl nicht mehr.
Nun, da Sie dieses Geheimnis der ganzen Zitrone erfahren haben, kann man sie natürlich auch für Instant-Nudelgerichte verwenden.
Was ist der größte Vorteil bei der Verwendung der ganzen Zitrone, also der Vermeidung von Abfall und dem Hinzufügen von neuem Geschmack zu Ihren Gerichten? Nun, Zitronenschalen enthalten 5- bis 10-mal mehr Vitamine als der Zitronensaft selbst. Und ja, genau diese Schalen waren es, die Sie bisher weggeworfen haben.
Aber von nun an, indem Sie dieses einfache Verfahren mit dem Einfrieren der ganze Zitrone anwenden und dann alles auf Ihre Speisen reiben, können Sie die vollen Nährstoffe aufnehmen und werden dabei nur noch gesünder. Zitronenschalen sind nämlich gesundheitsfördernd durch die Zerstörung toxischer Elemente im Körper.
Geben Sie Ihre gewaschenen Zitronen in den Gefrierschrank und reiben Sie sie dann täglich auf Ihre Mahlzeiten oder Getränke.
Das ist ein magischer Schlüssel, um Ihre Lebensmittel schmackhafter zu machen, und Sie werden gesünder und länger leben!
Das ist das Geheimnis der Zitronenfrucht!
Besser spät als nie gewusst, oder?
Die überraschenden Vorteile der Zitrone: Zitrone (Citrus) ist ein wundertätiges Produkt, um Krebszellen abzutöten.
Es ist 10.000-mal stärker als die Chemotherapie.
Warum wissen wir nichts darüber? Weil es Labors gibt, welche an der Herstellung einer synthetischen Version mit daraus riesigen Gewinnen interessiert sind.
Sie können nun einem Freund in Not helfen, indem Sie wissen lassen, dass Zitronensaft Vorteile bei der Verhinderung von Krebskrankheiten bringt.
Sein Geschmack ist angenehm, und es gibt nicht die schrecklichen Nebenwirkungen der Chemotherapie.
Wie viele Menschen müssen noch sterben, während dieses Geheimnis weiterhin streng unter Verschluss gehalten wird, nur um nicht die gewinnorientierten Multimillionäre mit ihren Großkonzernen zu gefährden?
Wie Sie wissen, ist der Zitronenbaum bekannt für seine Vielfalt an Zitronen, Limonen und Limetten.
Sie können die Früchte in unterschiedlicher Weise genießen: Sie können das Fruchtfleisch essen, Saft pressen, Getränke zubereiten, Sorbets, Kuchen, etc..
Es werden ihnen viele Tugenden zugeschrieben, aber am interessantesten ist die Wirkung, die sie auf Zysten und Tumore erzeugt.
Diese Pflanze ist ein bewährtes Mittel gegen Krebs der verschiedensten Arten. Manche sagen sogar, sie ist hilfreich bei sämtlichen Arten von Krebs.
Sie wird auch als antimikrobielles Spektrum gegen bakterielle Infektionen und Pilze betrachtet, ist wirksam gegen interne Parasiten und Würmer,
reguliert zu hohen Blutdruck, ist ein Antidepressivum und bekämpft auch Stress und nervöse Störungen.
Die Quelle dieser Informationen ist faszinierend:
Sie kommt von einem der größten Arzneimittelhersteller der Welt und besagt nach mehr als 20 Labortests seit 1970 im Ergebnis, dass die bösartigen Zellen in 12 Krebsarten, darunter Darm-, Brust-, Prostata-, Lungen- und Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs zerstört werden…
Die wirksamen Inhaltsstoffe dieses Zitronenbaumes erwiesen sich als 10.000-mal besser als das Produkt Adriamycin, ein Chemotherapeutikum, das weltweit zur Verlangsamung des Wachstums von Krebszellen eingesetzt wird.
Und was noch erstaunlicher ist: Bei dieser Art von Therapie mit Zitronen-Extrakt werden nur die bösartigen Krebszellen zerstört und keinerlei gesunde Zellen angegriffen.
Also, waschen Sie Ihre Zitronen gründlich, frieren Sie sie ein und zerreiben Sie die ganze Frucht.
Ihr Körper wird es Ihnen danken!

Laughter and Vacation

Vacation!

Dont get me started.  2 weeks from now, and counting (to use the words of someone who tries to forget me)

Laughter

Isnt that a thing we forget now and then?

Did you notice how often and how many energy we put in negative things, and how little in positive things?
We stay anger for times at people, even when they are long gone, we keep on thinking why things can happen, we keep on looking to disasters (and secretly most of us do hope to be able to picture or film them, and put them as one of the first at FaceBook or Twitter).

I do the same. That's why it was so difficult to realy let go, when someone did decide to quit a ffriendship. I kept on trying to get a word, and it did not come.  Until yesterday, when I all the sudden did realize that the more I try, the less I get. So, I did let go.  And it is good.  I will not forget what was. I dont need to, because it was good, very good.

But it is useless to put a bird in a cache, that he wont be in.  Better let it fly away. Maybe, one day, it might think back. We shall never know.  And it is not important. I charish the valueable moments, the laughter. And I smile, with the space that can be filled with ... I dont know.. I dont expect anything, that's the best to get all I want, or need.

Kiss the past goodbye

And this is all about a lost friendship

I dont want to go in details, other then in this blog, but there are some questions that I never will find the answer on

Such as, why do you communicate indirect (that is, with statements at your own Facebook site)  about how bad others treat you
and why do you refuse to reply to mails, phone calls

Appearantly it is how you are. I understand better and better why a few others did dump you and why it wasnt your mistake.  Just like you now will say from me.
Good that we both know the truth.
------------------------------------------------------------------

I could not take the step

And now you did take it for me
I could not accept 
And now you just made me

I thank you for that

I fought for our friendship
I can not forget all those years
You were so full with your own story
And could not even listen to my sorry

Still I did try
And I do know why
And I hope that
you will not regret

That you just dit throw me away
I am almost over it, I will be okay

I could not take the step, I know
Thankful for what was, I now shall let you go
Dont be surprised when we dont forget our memories, never
From the start til this final cut, we both will reember, forever'

I thank you for that

--- end of session ---

I kan de laatste stap niet maken
En nu heb jij hem voor mij gezet
Ik wilde niet, en ik vocht
En nu besliste je.. het mocht

Ik dank je daarvoor

Ik heb voor onze vriendschap gestreden
Ik kan al die jaren ook niet vergeten
Jij wilde mijn verhaal niet weten
Jij hoorde alleen je eigen heden 

Toch bleef ik proberen
En ik weet ook waarom
Hopelijk krijg je geen spijt
Van het afsluiten van onze tijd

Ik kon de stap niet zetten, zeker weten
Ook al loop je nu wegweg,
Ik meen het als ik zeg
Al de herinneringen, wij kunnen ze nooit niet vergeten

Ik dank je daarvoor

Poem -dutch - Het liep uit de hond

This one is in Dutch, I might translate it later, but it is the story of my sister, also a poem for my sister in her language :)

Het waar gebeurde verhaal van mijn zus en haar hond

Het liep uit de hond

Je kent het wel, het moet vaak zo zijn
Even naar de winkel, hondje aan de lijn
Het leek zo onschuldig, en zo fijn
Maar toen was er opeens een konijn

Mijn zussie kwam met veel gerinkel
Gezellig binnen in de winkel
Het was er stil
Tot die ene gil

Hondje lief, de lieve gast
Is altijd zo enthousiast
En zo ook voor dit kleintje
Het lieve onschuldige konijnte

Dus hondje aan de lijn deed woef
Rende op zijn doel af, en zussie zei OEF
Voor ze wist was het gebeurd
En werd ze over de vloer gesleurd

Oei,dat was grote schrik en flinke pijn
Een boze kreet,want dat is niet fijn
Zo waren hond en zus zich rot geschrokken
Blauwe plekken en bloed, hai hai, wat een brokken

Even later was de schade opgenomen
En hond en baasje een beetje bijgekomen
Thuis gekomen vertelden ze wat er van komt
Deze keer liep alles vreselijk uit de hond

Voor hondjelief was het toen klaar
Voor zussielief was het vervolg nog daar
Verbandje en pleisters, en betadne
Veel auw, maar net niet grienen

Maar de grooste schrik
Kwam bij de tetanus prik
Het scheelde niet veel, en hoewel ik niet in details treden wil
Was zusje blij met de prik in de arm in plaats van in de   
(juist)

A joyous Occasion Turns Tragic

It is sad, and true what happens in china, when it come to free expression and free religion. The agressors still occupy Tibet and other parts that never did ask to be a part of China, but brutely are taken over.

We all know how valueable it is for Human beings to be able to express feelings, to share beliefs and wisdom.
Many of us (sure my friends) do stand for equal rights, as well for animal rights.
Where is our voice when it comes to human rights?  Why are all governments allowing this kind of murder?

Yes, it is the money thing, I know it. And it makes me immense sad to see that no one realy cares.  No one at all.


His Holiness the Dalai Lama
SUPPORT TIBET GET UPDATES FACEBOOK TWITTER
DonateDear Hans,

I am pleased to confirm that more than 20,000 International Campaign for Tibet members participated in sending birthday greetings to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

But while we were gathering your messages, peaceful celebrations of His Holiness’ birthday were violently interrupted by Chinese authorities on Saturday. Two Tibetan monks were shot in the head by Chinese police for peacefully observing the Dalai Lama’s birthday. The vicious attack occurred in Nyitso, Tawu, eastern Tibet, when armed police opened fire on a gathering of monks, nuns and laypeople who were lighting incense and praying to mark what should have been a joyous occasion.

This latest incident of Chinese authorities’ violence against Tibetans is a searing example of why your support of ICT is so very important.


Donate

Tibetan culture, traditions and the Tibetan people’s aspirations for peace – all exemplified by the Dalai Lama – are under systematic assault by the Chinese government. Your contribution to ICT will help us:

  • Reveal the truth about China’s oppressive policies and assaults on Tibetan culture.

  • Ensure support for humanitarian relief efforts on behalf of Tibetan refugees.

  • Directly engage the Chinese people and rally people worldwide to the cause of Tibetan self-determination.
Those efforts and many others are made possible by your kind support.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama has always been appreciative of supporters of the Tibetan people throughout the world and everyone here at ICT is deeply grateful for your commitment to our work. Please step up again to help our Tibetan brothers and sisters toward more hopeful, peaceful futures.

Thank you,

Bhuchung Tsering

The human kind

Be Human, Be kind,  Be both.

Sure, sounds like a plan, but ihow to combine those 2 in a very normal daily life?

What if a friend asks for help, because her ex is kidnapping her digital accounts?

The human side tells me to pinch that person at the nose. No one should nose into other persons business!  And definitely not when a situation is lost (as in a divorce)  Leave each other alone, concentrate at the new upcoming future and dont make life impossible for each other!

The kind side of me thinks, o, what a childish person.  I shall help the other so that the damage is as less as possible, humming 'friends will be friends' , smiling when it succeeds, whisteling when the other is thankful.  And then me is happy as a just born piggy (I assume they are happy, no idea, I never did ask one about it).

And what if I read that Prince Friso of Holland (who is in coma afer his accident 18 months ago) is transported from the hospital in the UK back to Holland?
My kind side sais, that's better for his family, to have him near by.
My human side shakes its head about the immense mass of money that is spilled on a life what isnt a worthy life at all (as far as I can see that).  My human side feels hurts, because such should NEVER been done for someone like you and me, who has not a royal family behind it. And we are paying for such our taxes?  How can I be kind about that?
And then a sweet message comes. Hans, enjoy your life, enjoy the bright things.
That is so kind, and so human, that I all the sudden have nothing more to say.

I LOVE it, and I love to be human and kind as well

unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”

Mr Roboto

The last few weeks we are overloaded with the new high tech issues, google glass and apple iwatch
Gooogle Glass is already, the glasses that make your eyes part of your computing devices and apples' I watch, still unrevealed, will come soon as well.

Where are we going to? How much we let our lives being  directed by robots, or, to name it, by google, apple and co?
Because that is what happens, when we buy those new devices. We lay our lifes in hands of companies that want to get profit of it.
With the huge discussions and shocks about the data-spy from the US, it seems that we all the sudden want to protect our privacy even more.
And at the same time we give all our privacy away.  In foutsquare we share the moment that we check in our hotel, or where we have dinner, and with who. With runkeeper we show how fit we are, or how much we walk, with dropbox we give an almost live view of where we are, and with a bit of luck we can picture a (bad) accident and post it as one of the first at Twitter or Facebook.

I think we should be happy with the all seeing glasses and the all registrating watches. It will safe us a lot of work to exposure every step that we make, every move that we take, they'll be watching us.
Privacy?  Dont let me laugh, none of us wants it!

goodbye

Most of you know it, and all of you should know it, I did quit my passion play, I did quit playing mafia wars.

I do not miss the game for a second, it was soooooo time consuming.  
And now, a few days later.. it feels like I have less time then ever before



Of course I did find some replacements, not necessarily in games, and partially as well in my Facebook group
Staying Power (click to join)  but still, it is as if life is hitting harder and I got more things at my plate. Nice things, nice jobs, ah well, I definitely do not complain about it, the fear 'what to do after MW'  is gone, I should have done it more early.  I was happy with a message from a friend, this morning, I was happy with a Friendshipsrequest, without many words and, (thank heaven some things do not change..)  with a message from a drama queen.
Why the drama Queen did message me, no idea.  I know some people miss me, just like I do miss some people, but there is a solution, just join and be at 'the other account'.  Easy!

But, miss drama queen decided to not do so, with as reason.. I should have been added already, if you wanted me at your list.
Nah..  i think the other way around.  Who wants to stay can , I am only 2 clicks away.  But I guess we both are right. Nevertheless, it was an eye opener for me, to see that I do not care about what and how 'others'  are pretending.  This is my life and I am doing all right.

Same goes for yesterdays' drama queen.  A stalker of a good friend appeared to have an account that did try to use me to get to her goal.  It failed and the only thing I got is 'hey hans, I suppose you are going to block me,blablabla'  All I did response, dont fuck around with my friends, and.... gone she is :)
I dont need to be right or wrong.  I dont need to be friends with you. I want to be friends with some, yes,and for those I am there. I can be pretty good in silence, but dont mix it up with that I ignore you.  Maybe the silence means even more then my magic way of  juggling with words.

Let your heart decide, just like I let mine :)
