RAF crashes in Iceland.
The crash on Snaefellsnes Nov. 28 1941 and connedted stories
.In the end of November 1941 a British bomber crashed in the mountains above Kolgrafafjord on Snæfellsnes Iceland and with it 6 young men. They did not only sacrifice their lives for their country but also for Iceland in the terrible battle that the war against Hitler's hellmachine was.
This event startled those who in one way or another were connected with this accident and was a horrible reminder of the terror of wars.
Almost nothing has been written about this crash but there have been stories around and still there are some people who remember the events.
This is the true story according to the documents.

Saving the Big 3 for You and Me ...a message from Michael Moore
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008
Friends,
I drive an American car. It's a Chrysler. That's not an endorsement. It's more like a cry for pity. And now for a decades-old story, retold ad infinitum by tens of millions of Americans, a third of whom have had to desert their country to simply find a damn way to get to work in something that won't break down:
My Chrysler is four years old. I bought it because of its smooth and comfortable ride. Daimler-Benz owned the company then and had the good grace to place the Chrysler chassis on a Mercedes axle and, man, was that a sweet ride!

A group of visionary French football administrators, led in the 1920s by the innovative Jules Rimet, are credited with the original idea of bringing the world's strongest national football teams together to compete for the title of World Champions. The original gold trophy bore Jules Rimet's name and was contested three times in the 1930s, before the Second World War put a 12-year stop to the competition. |

But even worse, some of them can seem more frightening than your worst nightmare.

It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company a church a home.

or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
who knows the great enthusiasms,

Nothing is Random
Nothing is random, nor will anything ever be, whether a long string of perfectly blue days that begin and end in golden dimness, the most seemingly chaotic political acts, the rise of a great city, the crystalline structure of a gem that has never seen the light, the distributions of fortune, what time the milkman gets up, the position of the electron, or the occurrence of one astonishingly frigid winter after another.

Destination: The Stars
Who am I?
What am I?
Where am I going?
Three important questions, which people have been trying to find answers to for the past few millennia. In a physical sense, science has answered these questions to a large extent. We know a great deal about the miracle of the human body, it's conception, it's growth and it's death. How we are made up of molecules and atoms which once were part of the stars. How those molecules and atoms are again recycled on earth when we die, and how ultimately they will return to the stars when the earth itself dies and it's atoms and molecules are recycled back into the cosmos.

Earth
How beautiful you are, Earth, and how sublime!
What wisdom in your obedience to the light, and what nobility in your submission to the sun!
How seductive you are when veiled in shadow and how radiant is your face beneath the mask of darkness!
How crystalline are your songs at dawn and how marvelous are the praises sung at the hour of your twilight!
How perfect you are, Earth, and how majestic!
18.9.2007
Outflowing
Another key principal is that of giving, or "outflowing." The universe is made up of pure energy, the nature of which is to move and flow. The nature of life is constant change, constant flux. When we understand this, we tune into its rhythm and we are able to give and receive freely, knowing that we never really lose anything, but constantly gain.
Once we begin to learn to accept the goodness of the universe, we naturally want to share it as well, realizing that as we give out of our energy, we make space for more to flow into us.

Thirteen Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE - Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE - Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER - Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION - Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY - Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.

I Don't Love You
I don't love you, not at all; on the contrary, I detest you - You're a naughty, gawkey, foolish Cinderella. You never write me, you don't love your husband, you know what pleasure your letters give him, and yet you haven't written him six lines, dashed off casually!
What do you do all day, Madam? What is the affair so important as to leave you no time to write to your devoted lover? What affection stifles and puts to one side the love, the tender and constant love you promised him?
