Dirk Müller (born 18 November 1975 in Burbach) is a German race driver, driving for BMW Team RLL in the 2012 American Le Mans Series. His former Schnitzer BMW team-mate Jörg Müller is unrelated, as is French driver Yvan Muller.
In 1996, Dirk Müller won a Formula 3 race at the Nürburgring. In 1998, after a win in the GT1 class of the 24 Hours of Daytona, he scored his first title, the German Porsche Cup, to be followed by the ALMS GT title in 2000.
From the 2002 to 2005 season, both Dirk and Jörg were driving BMW 3series model E46 touring cars for the Schnitzer-operated works squad Team Deutschland in the FIA European Touring Car Championship (now WTCC). Since 2006, the team uses the new BMW 3series model E90 which is based on the BMW 320si limited edition model that has a 4-cyl engine rather than the usual 6-cyl.
The 2004 24 Hours Nürburgring was won by both Müllers (and Hans-Joachim Stuck) with the BMW M3 GTR V8 that had been raced successfully in the 2001 ALMS. In 2005, the Müllers finished 2nd behind their sister car.
Angela Dorothea Merkel, German: [aŋˈɡeːla doʁoˈteːa ˈmɛʁkl̩] ( listen); née Kasner (born 17 July 1954) is the Chancellor of Germany and Chairwoman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Merkel is the first female Chancellor of Germany.
A physical chemist by professional background, Merkel entered politics in the wake of the Revolutions of 1989 and briefly served as the deputy spokesperson for Lothar de Maizière's democratically elected East German government prior to the German reunification. Following reunification in 1990, she was elected to the Bundestag, where she has represented the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern since. She served as Federal Minister for Women and Youth 1991–1994 and as Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety 1994–1998 in Helmut Kohl's fourth and fifth cabinets. She was Secretary General of the CDU 1998–2000, and was elected chairperson in 2000. From 2002 to 2005, she was also chair of the CDU/CSU parliamentary coalition.
After her election as Chancellor following the 2005 federal election, she led a grand coalition consisting of her own CDU party, its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), until 2009. In the 2009 federal election, the CDU obtained the largest share of the votes, and formed a coalition government with the CSU and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP).
Verne Byers, aka Vern Byers, (né Vincent LeRoy Beyer, b. March 14, 1918, Denver, CO; d. December 19, 2008, Las Cruces, NM) was an American bandleader of a territory band, a bassist, a concert promoter, and an owner-operator of several live music clubs and restaurants in Denver. Byers is most widely known and remembered as the man who, as executive producer and promoter, brought The Beatles to Denver — their only Denver appearance. The Beatles performed at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 26, 1964.
Verne Byers & His Orchestra — The Band That Sings and Swings — played compositions of the World War II dance bands, including those of Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, and Tommy Dorsey. The orchestra toured the Midwest and Rocky Mountain area in the 40's and 50's as one of many territory bands, playing in venues such as dance halls, ballrooms, and hotels — mostly in Colorado, New Mexico, Iowa, and Minnesota. The band often played at Elitch Gardens; and once opened for Benny Goodman there. The band had twelve players. During 1950s, bookings for the orchestra were handled by the Omaha office of National Orchestra Service.
Ich hab mich oft gefragt, ob wir uns wieder sehen
Und hab mir oft gesagt, dass wir uns wieder sehen
Es ist schöner als ich es mir erträumt hab
Am liebsten wär' mir die Zeit bliebe stehen
Wer hätte das gedacht, ein Traum aus dem man nicht aufwacht
Ich bin die Sorge los wie find' ich diesen Menschen bloß
Meine Seele jubiliert, weil sie niemals den Mut verliert
Mich aufzufordern raus zu gehen um mich nach dir umzusehen
Es ist schöner als ich es mir erträumt hab
Am liebsten wär' mir die Zeit bliebe stehen
Es macht alles gut, was ich je versäumt hab
Vielleicht sollten wir gemeinsam weiter gehen
Verlier' kein Wort darüber, heb dir alles auf
Dein Wort war unverfügbar, deine Nähe auch
Und jetzt ist alles hier, was vorher nie hier war
Und das was weit entfernt war ist jetzt wieder nah
Es ist schöner als ich mir erträumt hab
Am liebsten wär' mir die Zeit bliebe stehen
Es macht alles gut, was ich je versäumt hab
