A veces unas cosas se cubren de otras para verse diferentes.
He aquí una Cover Version (Versión sustituta) del clásico Pop Beat it, de Michael Jackson.
They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man You wanna be tough, better do what you can So beat it, but you wanna be bad
CHORUS: beat it, beat it, beat it No one wants to be defeated Showin' how funky and strong is your fight It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Just beat it (Beat it, beat it)
You have to show them that you're really not scared You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare They'll kick you, then they beat you, Then they'll tell you it's fair So beat it, but you wanna be bad

No sir, well, I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore It's your turn, so take a seat We're settling the final score And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can't decide, you have made it harder Just to go on And why, all the possibilities Well, I was wrong
That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense With the sound of its beating And that's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
I wonder, how am I supposed to feel When you're not here? 'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built When you were here
I still try holding onto silly things I never learn Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard
That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense With the sound of its beating And that's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
Pain, make your way to me, to me And I'll always be just so inviting If I ever start to think straight This heart will start a riot in me Let's start, start, hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much? Oh, why do we like to hurt so much? That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa That's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
Now I can't trust myself With anything but this And that's what you get When you let your heart win, whoa
A veces es difícil olvidar un pasado que aun nos toca, un 'pasado imperfecto'.
Irónicamente ese pasado sin terminar, de forma gramatical se llama: Presente Perfecto.
Comenzó en el pasado y aun se conecta con el presente por ser un pasado reciente, o es una acción que empezó tiempo atrás pero da pie a que pensemos que aun puede estarse desarrollando en la actualidad.
Desde quete has ido, he estado suplicandote*...
En esta frase vemos aplicados:
El Presente Perfecto Simple (Sujeto + Have Presente + Verbo Participio Pasado) ( Sin embargo puede llevar también el been tal como la frase: Since you've been married -Desde que has estado casada- el título de esta canción lleva estructura similar Since you've been gone que al traducirse literalmente no sonaría muy bonito para nosotros los hispanos: -Desde que has estado ida-).
y El Presente Perfecto Continuo Sujeto + Have Presente + Been + Verbo -ing-
Since you've been gone
It seems that nothing... ever goes my way Since you broke my heart when you left that day
There's no where to go so just stay with me
Cuz *since you've been gone I've been beggingyou please
To tell me you're not alright And you're needing to come home (Since you've been gone) To tell me you're not okay And you're needing me all along Since you've been gone
I need to hear from you Since you've been gone
It seems that every time you swear to God that you're leaving
I'm down on my knees beggin' you to stay
There's no where to go so just stay with me
Cuz since you've been gone I've been beggin' you please
To tell me you're not alright And you're needing to come home (Since you've been gone) To tell me you're not okay And you're needing me all along Since you've been gone
Please don't leave me here alone Just stay a while Make me smile
Please don't leave me here alone Just stay a while And baby smile
Since you've been gone I need to hear from you Since you've been gone I need to hear you say
Tell me you're not alright And you're needing to come home (Since you've been gone) Tell me you're not okay And you're needing me all along Since you've been gone
I need to hear you say Since you've been gone (Don't tell me) I need to hear you say (Don't tell me)
Ahora que estoy grandecito veo que es una historia tantito cruel y violenta... pero con un final feliz. Comparable a la de unos secuestrados que terminan quedándose con la 'valiosa caleta' de su secuestrador.
(Cualquier parecido con nuestra realidad nacional es pura coincidencia).
En un punto de la trama los hambrientos niños se empiezan a comer una deliciosa casa hecha de pan de jengibre; el mismo jengibre con el que se hacen bonitas galletas como el hombre de jengibre que ilustra este artículo; y el mismo jengibre con el que se hace la Ginger Ale.
Dentro de 'las Ginger' están las marcas Schweppes (Recién llegada al país) y Canada Dry.
Dry significa seco/a. Pero también puede dar a entender que algo esta 'seco de' o 'escaso de'.
El -Dry Wine- es de bajo dulzor y el -Dry Martini- tiene muy poca cantidad de Vermouth.
Así mismo la Canada Dry fue y es la versión 'Light' de su predecesora, pues es más liviana de dulce y menos oscura, convirtiéndose así en un éxito como bebida mezcladora para licores.
El jengibre además de tener ese sabor 'picantico' característico que le hace un buen condimento tiene propiedades medicinales de gran valor contra problemas digestivos, cardiacos, la artritis e inclusive contra el cáncer.
How to Bake Gingerbread Cookies
Every holiday kitchen needs a Ginger Bread Cookie recipe. First in a large bowl mix together five cups of flour and two table spoons of ground ginger. One and a half tea spoons of baking soda, one tea spoon of ground cloves, and a half a tea spoon of salt.
Now, in a mixer bowl with a flat beater attached, add one cup of granulated sugar and one cup of shortening. Set to speed 4 until its light and fluffy. Beat in one egg, one cup of molasses and two table spoons of vinegar. Now reduce the speed to stir and mix in the flour mixture in three additions.
Divide the dough into three disks, and wrap-up plastic. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour. Now to prepare the frosting, place six table spoons of butter in a mixer bowl with a flat beater attached and set to speed 4. Beat until smooth and creamy. Reduce the speed and mix in four and half cups of confectioner’s sugar in two additions.
You can also add the whipping cream as necessary to make a smooth frosting. Now also add one tea spoon of vanilla. Fetch this frosting aside. Pre heat your oven to 375 degrees. Flour your work surface and your rolling pin as well. Work with one disk at a time. You will want to roll out your dough to an eighth of an inch thickness.
Using a cookie cutter cut out your shapes. Place them at least two inches apart on a baking sheet. The cookies will take about 5 minutes to cook. And then you can transfer them to a cooling rack. Make sure they are completely cooled before frosting them and then you can dress your ginger bread men and women as you like so that they look their best for their party.

Lo has oído en los reinados, y también en la elección del nuevo presidente de los Estados Unidos de America:
Text of Democrat Barack Obama's speech in Chicago after winning the presidential election, as transcribed by CQ Transcriptions:
OBAMA: Hello, Chicago.
If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.
Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.
I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton ... and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years ... the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady ... Michelle Obama.
Sasha and Malia ... I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us ...to the new White House.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.
And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe ... the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best - the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.
To my chief strategist David Axelrod ... who's been a partner with me every step of the way.
To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics ... you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.
It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy ... who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.
It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.
This is your victory.
And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.
You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.
Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.
There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.
There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
I promise you, we as a people will get there.
AUDIENCE: Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!
OBAMA: There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.
But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.
This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.
It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.
Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.
In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.
Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.
Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.
As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, "We are not enemies, but friends... Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection." And, to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your president, too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world — our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
For that is the true genius of America — that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election, except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons — because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America — the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.
When there was despair in the Dust Bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes, we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves: If our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

Anggun - Little things
You once gave me something I should always keep A little stone with a hole with love from you
I still hide it smooth in my pocket Wrapping lock to coins I never seem to use
Little things, little things, remain me Want to erase, give the space to someone else Little things, little things always catch me Unaware, unprepared to let it go
Would it have mattered? Would it have change anything?
If I have loved you more
Would it have mattered? Does it matter now?
Now that you've got it all
Uuh little things Cut like knives hurt and stings
Uuh little things Cut like blades like regret cuts my face
You once gave me something I should always keep A little spark that should grow to a flame It still glows here hidden in my heart Burning me whenever someone speaks your name
Little things, little things remain me Want to erase, give the space to someone else Little things, little things always catch me Unaware, unprepared to let it go
Would it have mattered? Would it have change anything?
If I have loved you more
Would it have mattered? Does it matter now?
Uuhh... you got it all
/Uuhh little things Cut like knives hurt and stings
Uuhh little things Cut like blades like regret cuts my face/
Hurts like regret

I'm M.C. Kat on the rap so mic it Here's a little story and you're sure that I like it Swift and sly and I'm playing it cool With my home girl Paula Abdul
Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies and I like TV
I take things serious and you take 'em light
I go to bed early and I party all night
Our friends are sayin' we ain't gonna last
'cos I move slowly and baby I'm fast
I like it quiet and I love to shout
But when we get together it just all works out
Chorus: I take two steps forward I (take) two steps back We come together 'cause opposites attract
And you know, it ain't fiction just a natural fact We come together 'cuz opposites attract
Who'd a thought We could be lovers
She makes the bed And he steals the covers
She likes it neat And he makes a mess
I take it easy Baby, I get obsessed
She's got the money And he's always broke
I don't like cigarettes I like to smoke
Things in common There just ain't a one
But when we get together we have nothin' but fun
(Chorus)
Nothing in common But this trust
I'm like a minus She's like a plus
One going up one coming down
But we seem to land on common ground
When things go wrong we make corrections To keep things moving in the right direction Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack It's useless opossites attract
Baby ain't it somethin' how we lasted this long You and me provin' everyone wrong Don't think we'll ever get our differences patched Don't really matter 'cuz we're perfectly matched
(Chorus)
