The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

The days seem to go by so fast. there is a void in the air, the birds have lost their vibrant beat, the ocean has lost its luster, the soil feels solid and dry.
My soul feels as if it has left my body before my death, my dreams haunt my day, the tears stain my steps, my doctor says that it is depression, I say that it is reality, I am intoxicated by society,I am numb by perscriptions.
Why do I feel so isolated within myself? is there no one in my painfully tight shoes? can anyone understand my pain? can anyone melt in my sorrows? why am I this way? why is the world so cruel? why can't I be normal?
Wait! I am normal, what am I saying, I know now, the veil has been lifted, humanity is my enemy, the sins that drip from their sweat, the dread that follows their shadows, their souls of black, their intentions of greed pull a shade across their eyes.
They are destined for doom, they will not be saved, they will not find salvation, they belittle me, they curse me, they shame me, but they are right about one thing, I am different, unlike them, I will be saved in the last days.

Money money, ringing in your tills,
Calling us to worship,
The hundred dollar bills.
Bend our knees in wonder,
Bow our heads in awe,
At the power of the liar,
Who now controls us all.
From the darkest deep caverns,
To the stars in the sky,
From the infinite universe,
To the strangers passing by.
From your inner most conviction,
To your laughing in the night,
From everything you 're seeing,
To everything out of sight.
The new God has risen,
To claim the holy throne,
The one that we have emptied,
Our hearts all cold as stone.
The throne that we have emptied,
We killed the rightful king,
Sold his crown an sceptre,
Pawned his sacred ring.
Raised his bleeding body,
Up on that bloody hill,
The silent lamb still bleeding,
As the money fills your tills.

I am Reality's angel
resting on the broad shoulders of discovery
the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target
ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you
there is a creator of all things
He is just and patient
many still have fallen into the masses of shadow
wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy
I have seen grown men fall like rose petals
and weaklings rise into unjust leaders
forever the follower of furtive evil
dominating only to remain inferior
the most important answers lie in the unseen regions
where no sense can fully give assurance
the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn
grows weary because of the distance it must take
and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates
it is knowing we are seeking something far
that could very possibly not exist,
that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense
it is knowing all we really think we know
is meaningless
and yes—even a lie
all that has been written thus far rests under my wings
under the warmth in which you refuse to feel
can you believe in me—
though I am completely unseen?
how much more difficult would it be to see

White Lilies,
Scattered on the ground,
Out of their element.
Deprived of its origin.
Clarity no longer visible.
White Roses,
In the purest snow,
Frozen to the core.
Stripped away so rash.
Beauty destroyed.
White flowers,
All around,
Trampled into dust.
Stolen without knowledge.
Endless death fighting to prevail.

If Brahma is Brahma I also am Brahma,
then why am I wandering on a not real way
holding something I don't know in my hand?
I can lead my life toward good
because everything is Brahma, but I can live
an evil life as well because everything comes from my ego.
If Brahma is Brahma I can cross over the ego
bury myself in meditation,
though it may be a lonely
and a trying way.
Gather ashes from six* burnt senses
and walk on the nonexistent way
because I am a naught substance,
though to be in a mode to attain spiritual awakening,
my ego, stands in the middle of good and evil
unable me to shake off tenacious carnal desire,
it compels me to keep walking on the path of evil passions
and if the terminal goal of life's never ending circle is
an attainment of spiritual awakening,
and spiritual awakening is to walk in light,
the brightness is the way;
however, paradoxical, in a sense, is also true
stupidity and ignorance though lay in the darkness,
it may also be the way. Yet, the problem of life is
still laying under my foot; and that is the chain of anguish
which would never, ever, be cut off;
I, therefore, collapse on the way
while dragging the chain of a great weight
it may be the end of anguish, a knot of a life's circle,
or a moment of a pause in the ever changing world,
or it may well be a renewed life in Faramita the world of Paradise,
or the beginning of another anguish in the transmigration of the soul,
and that's why I believe the nonexistent substance is the way
to Brahma which is one same substance.
Tat tvam asi, I am the Brahma
Tat tvam asi, That art thou

—Brahma eva idam visvam(1)—
A life neither has beginning because beginning is Brahma
or end because end is Brahma, it rides on a wagon named Karma(2)
and goes as a wheel whirls.
I came to this very spot becoming a sun, a moon and the stars
following the stream which carries anguish, and one day
I must cross; since it's impossible to see the past because
there is no beginning or end, I wonder how to manage a day
when everything changes without beginning or end;
I came this far becoming a sun, a moon and the stars
and wandering in a wasteland looking at the bridge
beyond eternity.
In this barren soil:
though flowers bloom, they smell of death
that tempts to ruin me;
though there is a spring,
it's bubbling sand seen in a mirage to intensify my thirst;
though there are fruit bearing trees,
the taste of fruit is more bitter than Eden's forbidden fruit;
though there are snows,
they come as a blizzard and pierce the skin to tear it to pieces.
Since Brahma is on the other side of Elysium
no matter how much you wander in this boundless barren land,
though it may seems within hand's reach, you would never be able
to touch; because your anguish, the reality of life is nothing more than
pursuing a pain, a spinning of a wheel of Karma.
Although my body is worn out
I have no place to lay my body down;
although my wounded soul is wailing
no place to bury my soul to rest,
and if this is my Karma to be accepted,
how do I untie these entangled knots of anxiety.
I exist, therefore my six(3) senses feel and perceive reasons,
then, how do I denounce this Sabba,(4) or deliver from suffering,
for that is the reason I exist.
All phenomena, however, to undergo everyone as Atman(5)
carrying their own Karma, because Brahma is everything
and Karma is the footmarks of ever changing mundane world.
1. Brahma eva idam visvam: Brahman, indeed, is this world-all. 2. Karma: destiny.
3. Six Senses: five basic physical senses plus soul or intellect. 4. Sabba: this world.
5. Atman: soul, ego, or I.

My life has been one enormous charade,
A make believe game,
A play I have played,
A story I tell myself, day and night,
Hidden from myself, out of sight,
A game of hide and seek,
While searching for something else to eat.
The game,
A cosmic game,
A comic game,
A bad joke,
A puff of smoke,
A laugh,
A bath,
A lonely path,
The Game.
I used to take it so seriously,
Think it, feel it so real, so perfectly,
So certain I that was right,
That I lived in the light,
So convinced that I knew the rules,
So obvious I had all the tools,
That I saw the truth,
That I saw the light,
Would win the battle, win the fight.
Heard the sound of the distant drum,
Calling me to battle with the devious one.
The walls of my ego were high and mighty,
My dreams and delusions danced in front of me,
Their smooth dark surface impossible to climb,
Images I swallowed and thought were mine.
I made them alive, moving and real,
Twist and turn like a slimy eel,
Just to tell myself that I was still someone,
Playing in the game and having lots of fun,
Just to tell me and to tell you,
That I wasn't a loser,
So I wouldn't hear the words game over.
Game over,
Check and mate,
Here's the gate,
You have to take,
Out of the Game,
The game of shame.
The game of avoiding being blue,
Of dogging the bullets they shot at you,
The atomic bomb they drop on your head,
The monsters that they put under your bed.
The game of hiding away,
Live to play another day,
Even if it's only make believe,
The prizes in plastic,
And not worth a dime,
At least I have the impression that they are mine,
At least I don't fell the pain,
The pain of shame,
In this perverted game.
So that I don't feel I'm a prisoner,
Tied to this post,
Don't even realise that I'm only a ghost,
That the truth is well hidden,
On the board of the game.
That the prizes are in plastic,
But they are shiny and new,
The paint hardly chipped,
The emptiness hardly shows through,
The laughing is loud,
The smiles are all warm and friendly,
And we are all together,
Joyful and happy.
The illusion is REAL,
And only the mad man knows,
That it's a rotten deal.

In life, some would say
I lacked no good thing,
I was loved and healthy,
Young and nice-looking.
Yet my soul was parched,
It was cracked, dry dirt,
A candle with no spark,
An eclipse of the earth.
Then a voice caused me to kneel,
An unseen tongue let loose,
"God is real and
the Bible is truth."
Lots has happened since
God took me by the hand
But I still remember when
My faith in God began.

The eye,a sign the
unwise can't comprehend
Forged from the world's
illumination in darkened
minds,for the
enlightened ones like
Leonardo da Vinci,Isaac
Newton,John Milton....etc.
The eye is a tree
with many branches like
Priory of Scion,Knight
Lodge,Music industry,
Politics,global economy,
stretching beyond
human imaginations-felt
in all corners of earth.
The world is clothed
through wisdom from
The eye,all seeing
sign,an invincible
emblem of power and
riches to the lion hearted
and loyal souls.
A seat of influence and
Creating the social order
through men of power....
Some see it as a
curse,others a blessing.
I feel it,the great eye is
everywhere watching

The Rose innocent white, soft pink, yellows
colors touch your soul vibrant red to amethyst
enhances beauty yet a thorn awaits to break skin
as life does piercing your heart with a thin pin.
My life has shed drops of blood through each petal
as if in return for the love and beauty you feel
hence pain underneath patiently waits the bloodletting ~
The rose symbolizes love yet vulnerable to hold
for when you open your heart it can be left bleeding
The best of surgeons can not beat your heart
It is the inner faith and God himself whom gives strength
whispers in your ear you shall live you will exist
your life meaningful as the water and sun to the rose
For I am your God your existence is not over yet .
You must Live ~You must Bloom

The body: sacred
We're all made in God's image
Hence... circumcision?
When the time comes we shall all gather,
People of all walks and talks together,
In front of the parish for the Holy Communion,
It is here that we meet our companion,
In holy matrimony we unite before the father,
But this is no ordinary parish,
We separate men from boys before they perish,
We relish in wines and spirit,
Just like church goers after the Holy Spirit,
In beer we trust because its fetish,
The parish,
I drink until i perish,
In beer my life i cherish,
I wish to make a wish,
Parish, perish, cherish, i wish,
Just like the church seeing holiness in the pope,
In the bar tender we see drinking hope,
We speak in tongues under the influence,
And we never shy away from an audience,
So don't demonize us, we don't do dope,
Just like Jesus who walked on water,
We keep on walking like Johnny Walker,
On your wall the Holy Virgin Mary,
On mine you'll find the famous Hale Berry,
Unlike them were living our happily ever after,
The parish,
I drink until i perish,
In beer my life i cherish,
I wish to make a wish,
Parish, perish, cherish, i wish,
We've never missed a bar gathering,
On several occasions you've missed a church meeting,
We pay all our dues to the bar tender,
You hardly give two percent tithe to the preacher,
So when we meet in hell spare me the greeting,

There is power in words
truth in words
buried treasures hidden
deep in words
I find myself when I'm lost in words
crystal balling my words
I see, I see
LAW in the WORD
I see, I see
GOD is the WORD
repeating God's messages
repeating God's words
speaking God's language
speaking good words
metaphysical doctor
operating on words
love doctor
I'm loving thee world
The vines of fear reap its satanic fruit
In the hot sands and cold desert winds of war,
Bitten by the martyr, the henchman, the brute!
May its seeds of hate at its poisoned core
Wither and die and return nevermore.

Metaphorically Speaking
Metaphorically speaking
We find life is just as such
Not giving facts precisely
And meaning not as much
Speaking in forms of reference
Searching to define what is heard
It suggestively leads us to believe
It was really meant in other words
For the analogy of something other
A figure of speech is produced for it
It is given with just so many words
Even beating around the bush a bit
There is such a variety of life about
May be why facts aren't given to all
As some may take it the wrong way
To certainly cause their downfall
Every insinuation or symbolization
You will find several points of view
Where there are just so many others
To view way differently than you
So we must be careful to others
Of what we say or rather imply
We will be judged for our words
On judgment day when we die
Many times in the matter of love
It is not always honestly expressed
How someone's heart really feels
Then the joy is lost and depressed
As we verify and clarify in life
Searching to find what is true
There is nothing as it really seems
The bible is full of metaphors too
God says we are to test all things
Then to hold fast to what is good
As written in 1 Thessalonians 5:21
We will then find what we should
A metaphorically speaking life
Must be truly meant to be
For when the truth is found
You will surely be set free

You are just old man spinning wheels trying to live for a million years.
You are just an apple tree chopped down trying to re-root from the ground.
Your hatefulness means naught because your life is facing the judgment of God.
You are just an old elderly man gambling his months when he has been told to
rest his heart.
You been misguided by your ministry and damned by the demons of the innocent.
The Arabs Kings cannot save your soul from your hellhole chosen by Jehovah.
So pay for your gravesite and bid the world goodbye.
This is the advice given to a life prophesized.
The Monks gave the gift to you.
You refuse to follow the truth.
You were brought into a new world.
Blessed by the chosen one, eccentric he became.
Pakistan is your brother country.
You are of foreign blood.
Why have you thrown a stone at the righteous?
Your hatefulness means not anything.
You will be confronted by the acumen of the Lord Jehovah God.

Collegiates and learned mercenaries
Await their time to lead the willing minions
As lemmings, suicide seems ordinary
Both deaf and blind, devoid of all opinions
Ageless as time itself, she waits
An elixir of evolution
Needing no cure, no answers
No humankind solution
What stops us moving forward
What keeps us all enchained
What keeps the starving hungry
What drives a world insane
A galaxy here, a universe there
Speckled by constellations
But man it seems is content to fight
For the sake of his small nation
Black as an empty starless night
Deep as the hungry ocean
Timeless as death, on its endless flight
In a time of perpetual motion
What stops us moving forward
What keeps us all enchained
What keeps the starving hungry
What drives a world insane
When will it end, God only knows
As greed alone inspires us
Old Earth, its very soul exposed
To MAN...IT'S LIVING VIRUS!!!

Kingdom Builders
Holy Holy Holy I must say to all.
Long day hard day I am with you.
Hot day cold day it is for me too.
Days months or years you I call.
You have displayed my visual doll.
Multitudes of truth seeds you grew.
Spoken for as spoken words abrew.
I grant you the light in that dark hall.
Never say never!
Never look back!
I am yours forever!
I am with no lack.
I am always the hands of filters,
Observing my Kingdom Builders.

The silent bell rings in the night,
Calling the devils to kneel to the light,
What once was, becomes no more,
As the light breaks through the open door.
What you think and what you feel,
What you saw and thought was real,
Is now only dust on the road,
The desolate remains of your ancient abode.
The new light is rising on the hill,
The new song is singing down in the well,
The new souls are dreaming of your face,
The new hearts are beating at you pace.
The old ideas and reasons you gave,
Are buried in the tomb and in the grave,
The rotting bone and flesh are gone,
In the morning dew, in the morning sun.
The light shines through the open door,
Casts no shadow on the old dirty floor,
The ancient laws of reason and might,
Crumble to dust in the morning light.
What once was real and certain as rock,
Is now the dream the baby forgot,
The new light coming to wake you my love,
The silent lamb and the flying dove.
more of my poems at :
Like the seraphs whose wings unfold,
Christ's light and glory goes not untold;
as the love of his humble grace
moves inside me all time and space,
as the planets orbit heaven's sun
and encircle it one by one--
so, too, am I caught in his sway,
beloved of him from day to day.
Through hosts of astral dimension
God's angels fix their attention
with expectancy and burning pause
around the universe's First Cause.
He, the one true Incarnation
that begets cosmic causation,
resolves the Infinite Regress
from the pre-Socratics' egress
with his omniscient wisdom
and the archives of his kingdom
where all can come and read and know
what miracles he'll yet bestow.

Sweet short round sadness in the mirror may grow;
He writes her name twice on the mind`s first snow;
It is the moment to find a joke and make her laugh;
If he holds his dreams and her hands ,that`s enough;
A smile of the kidness with each cup of tea, and soon
As brought by Fancy`s Fairy in the blond afternoon,
The taste of honey mealt in bitterness of broken glass;
The subtle drums in his ears violently might surpass
The horses`galoop at the purple banks of his veins ;
From the green empire, where eternal spring reigns
The romp`s steps of imagery in the Plato`s realm
Composing an ode of joy or a long lasting psalm:
Child dancing, playing with the joyous rain,
Like Narcissus at the sides of the fountain.
That parfume of violets :her hair and her eyes
Tactile, fragile china, cold glass solitude lies
In their unwritten novel: everybody may choose
The thrill of dancing among the Greek statues;
The rustling of the two doves following Love`s call
In the hand of Light,with overflown tumult in one soul.
The step towards his heart and quickly her stop;
Without the slightest hesitation, all muscles hope
Ready to caught a falling star still hoping
The crystalline tear prolonged dropping
Transformed in advancing recollections through:
Two masters of slaves and two slaves ,thus sum two.

O God, the pangs are crushing body, soul
And spirit—working deaths where sunlight fades—
My arms are trunks of pain and taking toll,
While tortures, stings, and sickness hauntly raids
To close the Gates of Hell to shut me in,
And heaven bows to greet while Hades seeks
To send The Reaper with his failing grin.
And illness ruins lives while havoc wreaks
The squalored throes of daily living on—
While body wastes away and breath remains
To sing your dirge while I still carry on…
Like trampling cattle trodding broken frame,
I live between the sunshine and the grave—
Like flowers cut and dying in the vase

Sometimes there is silence,
Sometimes there are words,
Sometimes there is meaning,
Sometimes it's absurd.
Sometimes you are near me,
Sometimes you are far,
Sometimes there is darkness,
Sometimes guided by a star.
Sometimes we are up and
Sometimes we are down,
Sometimes we are slaves,
That wear a holy crown.
Sometimes we are arrogant,
Sometimes we are proud,
Sometimes we are someone,
Lost in the faceless crowd.
Sometimes we are rich and
Sometimes we are poor,
Sometimes we are angels,
Scratching at the door.
Sometimes I'm living and
Sometimes I am dead,
Sometimes there is no thoughts
Turning in my head.
Sometimes looking forwards,
Sometimes looking back,
The circle still unbroken,
The train still on the track.
Sometimes we are caught and
Sometimes we are free,
But we always come back praying,
Under this olive tree.

Mistakes of our past are packaged ballads
recorded on an eight track cassette
constantly rewinding itself track after track
haunting us with its infinite instrumentals
of despair , oppression, and depression
No matter how many times
we turn down our audio Pandora Box
the mixed tapes of our mistakes never cease
to record the lyrics of those ballads
composed and sung in those
bitter, powerful , rhythmic
demonic voices
of Lucifer, the front man
and his backup band of dark spirits
endlessly mocking and taunting us
of our past afflictions and transgressions
with their raging, high tempo staccato tracks
like fiery arrows and poisonous snakes
piercing through every fiber of our mortal souls

I feel Him chip away at my flesh.
The vibrations shake to my bones.
Pieces that were once part of me now fall helplessly to the floor.
Every scrape of the chisel,
Every pound of the hammer,
Every piece that is broken from me stings with immense pain.
Why doesn't He stop?
Why is The Sculptor so cruel?
Doesn't He realize that each swing He takes is a nightmare to me?
I would be better off as stone that was never touched,
I would be more content without the suffering that comes apon me,
But I wouldn't be a work of art.
Each chip of the chisel is intended to remove a piece that shouldn't be there.
Each pound of the hammer is meant to force the hideous fragments far from me.
Each move The Sculptor makes, takes me closer to His plan for me.
I must trust, knowing that He never takes off too much.
I must be ready, knowing that He never leaves His work incomplete.
I must be thankful, knowing that I am being made beautiful in His eyes.
The acute pain is only a short part of His plan.
The lasting anguish fades in its own time.
Though heart, and soul, and body all grieve, the permanent state will be that of finished work.
I may not know the reason for each strike,
I may not know the fault with each sundered chunk,
And I may never know.
I know the sting of the chisel now,
I know The Sculptor has a plan,
My part is to trust that He will not work forever ... but that He will be done.

The Tragedy of the Banished Revolutionaries.
Epochs apart, yet,
bound by conscience,
Enduring the whispers of time,
through creeds professed,
sermons preached,
and a million sins confessed.
the essence,
of these banished revolutionaries,
is ceremonially muted by ritual,
and gleefully crushed under,
grandiose edifices,
that serve Religion Inc.
"And the meek shall inherit the earth",
an incendiary thought,
conveniently discarded,
for the pie in the sky that must be sought.
The tragedy of the banished revolutionaries,
whispers still,
for us to hear,
through the din of the cacophony of prayer.
The tragedy of the banished revolutionaries,
each day that we choose,
to shun the meek,
and mouth conscience-salving prayers,
for yet more silver,
and yet more silk.

The caustic tongues of the evangelists,
Across all creeds and faiths,
Seem as brittle as an old bone.
For they promise heaven and they spew forth threats of hell
While neglecting the words of that man who walked in Galilee
'let him who is without sin, cast the first stone'
the caustic tongues of the evangelists...
across all religions
new-age and the ones of old
baffle me even as I hear
a single simplistic sermon
for they really do, view us all
as blind imbeciles
scurrying around like faithless vermin
the caustic tongues of the evangelists...
wag on and dazzle us with visions of an eternal paradise
while here and now
their hypocrisy festers
within their earnest
well-meaning eyes...
'...dil mein hai khwaaish-e-hoor-o-jannat
aur zaahir mein shauk-e-ibaadat
bas hamen sheikh-ji aap jaise
allah-waalon se allah bachaaye...'
'...in your heart you desire the maidens of heaven
yet in the now you practice the rituals of piety
o' sheikh, may allah protect me
from the people of allah like yourself...'
is my tongue as caustic as the tongues I write about?
if so, then glad am I
for they shouldn't be the only ones
who preach and rant and continually shout
from their pulpits ever so high in the sky
from their hubris of comfort in possessing the 'truth'
from their 'knowing' that heaven or hell
awaits both the strong as well as the meek
while oblivious to the reeking foul smell
that encourages prejudice and hate
and visions not of peace
but of endless chants and prayers
which they, in their opium haze
rattle on and on
as they never seem to cease to speak
and though I'm sure that all this bile that I have spewed
will threaten
and offend
friend and
unfriend and
acquaintance alike
take pity on me instead
for it'll surely be I
who'll burn eternally
impaled by a benevolent god
on a slightly warmer than normal day in hell
on a crude wooden spike.

If there was an Olympic event for world class car shows, Pebble Beach, Amelia Island and the Concours d'Elegance of America (formerly Meadowbrook) would all complete for the gold medal. Any (or all) of these 3 prestigious shows should be on your must-attend list. When we heard that there was going to be Corvette vs

Octomom Nadya Suleman wow now here is a soul's contract that makes us sit back and really reflect on our own lives. When we look at sour souls contract we find that everything that we have journeyed in this life we can see where we have said "this is what I shall accomplish and learn while I am on Mother Earth". Nadya Suleman the Octomom has a powerful one for the world, do you?
Soul Contract…
A learning or understanding to find out why you are here, what were the decisions you made to bring you here, what did you understand before you incarnated here and why in the world would you choose half of the things you have chosen if you knew it would play out as it did? If those are any of the few questions you have been asking yourself, please look around you to see you are not alone. We all come to the time in our physical life that we stop and ask in seriousness all of these questions and more. If you think about it right now, you even asked these questions to yourself when you were younger and never even thought more about it until now.
A soul contract is a very sacred agreement that you have made with the Universe and your soul to direct, steer and caution you of all things before your own divinity plays out in the realm you have chosen. There is Sacredness when it comes to your soul contract that connects you on several levels of your being. A knowing that you have lived and experienced many lifetimes for which you have created, chosen and designed your soul's contracts for each one. It actually never ends…going from one life existence to another just as we move from one classroom of life to another.
You chose each day the direction you go. Do you not? If this is the case, then so too you chose that which you step into… before you step into it!
We have every choice before us that we ourselves have created. It will take you this whole lifetime of learning or your quick ascension into development to really understand this. When you can leave all behind you of this physical world you will see that the way we see choices as spiritual beings and those of a physical being are vastly different.
In looking at this think, of a time when you had a choice between a slice of chocolate cheesecake and an apple, which one did or would you choose? One to satisfy your desire or one to satisfy your appetite? As there is a difference in these two, moreover, is the difference in how your perception is between this world and next.
When we take a look at all the attention Nadya Suleman gets it brings me to say, "you have chosen to be seen and not seen in this lifetime and the souls that have chosen you to be their mom in this physical incarnation have chosen to be a part of a bigger life picture on how the world is viewed. She has a wealth of a collective consciousness within the walls of her home. As babies/children are known to be all abundant and abundantly so will their views and soul contracts.
We look at children as innocent to their surroundings until we take them under our wings and guide them in life. To be a part of a bigger consciousness (especially with this family) is to show there is a huge world out there and this is how we view it. And this is how the world at large views those who live among them. Can you imagine what these little ones will say as they grow older? We came as innocent as the next, we came to see the struggles of the world and to build, create and learn just as you…we came to show the world how they judge and struggle with one who gave, took and then is paying her dues. We came to change the world, how about you?
For is not Nadya "Octomom" Suleman paying her dues each day for the choices she has made? She now has gotten to where she has filed bankruptcy to move on in a new drection. As Nadya extends out her energy with the choices and directions in which this has all played out and I for one wish her well in all she does. It is not easy being a high profiled individual in today's society much less a Mom. Her challenges are great and many. Just as you seek a new beginning so too does she as she files for bankruptcy. A new beginning a clean fresh start. Even if she is working on a contract to do what others may call immorale to keep her family together I cannot judge with her for doing so. It is her Soul Contract, she is displaying it for the world to view.
I have to say, I find it amazing how one can judge when they have not looked at their own judgment. In a society that faithfully praises their own worth and value, to then hide from their own junk. That they will then judge one who is making their soul contract come to life in the most viewed way. I have to then give this woman credit as the world is not a nice place if one does not conform to its dictates.
It brings to mind the bully, who does not work as hard as you, but wants to make sure he/she takes from you everything you have worked for so that you do not see they do not work. The bully then likes to beat you up so that you will always know they are there and see them as superior. For if you took the chance to see the bully in truth, you would see the bully has nothing to offer the world at large, but what the bully does to you.
In saying this, I am not saying Nadya made the best choices in her life, who does? What I am saying is that no one has always made the best choices but they have been graced with the way in which to hide it from the population sight in major ways. How can you hide the fact that here is a woman who has this many children? And if there was truly a masculine figure with her, none of this would even be an issue. They would be just like any other mom and dad raising their children. And then reality TV would be seeking them out to show the world how they deal with that many children in their day to day life. And you would enjoy it and be grateful you did not choose to raise that many children yourself. Unfortunately we can say it did not work out the way the Nadya had originally thought. Nevertheless I, just as you, did not in walk her shoes when her choices were originally made. But we are all a part in one way or another of her soul contract, for all of it has been placed for the world to view.
It is Nadya's "Ocotmom" Sulemans Soul Contract….Take the time to look at your foundation, your house, your life and your own Soul Contract to see why you are really here, what you are here to do and why you have chosen to simplify your physical life and not challenge it in a more loving and creative way. Will she be allowed to make that choice from her own Soul Contract or will the world take that away…………

These Hollywood stars rock seriously high-wattage grins.
She may have toughened up her appearance for her Academy Award-winning role in 2001's Monster's Ball, but in real life, Halle Berry can never hide her charming, effervescent smile. (Just ask Adrien Brody, who couldn't resist planting a celebratory smooch on Berry when she presented him with an Oscar statue in 2003.)
Divorces, accidents, tabloid drama. Christie Brinkley has survived it all, and her megawatt grin in still intact. And why not? The 57-year-old recently debuted as Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical Chicago.
As Alicia Florrick on The Good Wife, Julianna Margulies might not have much reason to be mirthful, but in real life, her triumphant TV comeback has her grinning from ear to ear.
Will any smile ever surpass the Pretty Woman's luminous grin? Julia Roberts practically invented the role of romantic comedy leading lady, and the Larry Crowne actress owes much of her appeal to her multi-million dollar smile.
We loved her in Saturday Night Live's "Motherlover" digital short, but what makes Patricia Clarkson such a convincing cougar is her classic, playful (and sexy!) smile.
By landing an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Pat Loud in HBO's Cinema Verite, Diane Lane has proven that she and her radiant smile only get better, even after 46 years and 53 acting credits.
Sure, Lucy Liu plays tough gal roles (see: Kill Bill or Charlie's Angels) but that just makes her lovely grin seem all the more refreshing.
OK, so this Oscar winner and cookbook author is known for, well, not smiling much. But when Gwyneth Paltrow does treat us to a grin, she absolutely glows. Maybe her recent comic turns (guesting on Glee and dueting with Cee Lo Green and The Muppets during The Grammys) will loosen Paltrow up.
This beauty has every reason to smile. Not only does her company, Bankable Productions, produce America's Next Top Model (which Banks hosts), the former supermodel snagged an Emmy for her work on her eponymous talk show. Her first novel, Modelland, is slated to released this fall and she also attends Harvard Business School. Fierce!
Though this More cover girl plays a character dealing with cancer on Showtime's The Big C, in real life she rocks a sunny smile. "I feel like I'm getting better looking as I get older," she says. We agree!
What's better: Meryl's golden grin or the way she makes us smile with her roles in films like It's Complicated, Julia & Julia, and Mamma Mia! Next up: a more serious turn as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.
American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez has a smile that perfectly matches her persona—it's sophisticated, sexy and always polished.
Diane Keaton made us smile as the free-spirited title character in Annie Hall. But her friend Martin Short says it's no act; Keaton's normal mode is happy-go-lucky. "Her laugh is contagious and generous, her take on life and how it should be lived—you're envious of it and want to emulate it," he says.
When it comes to dazzling smiles, Angelina Jolie has little competition. Her famously luscious lips have inspired countless makeup brands to market "lip-plumping" products to women who want to re-create Jolie's perfect pout.
Taraji P. Henson won our hearts playing Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and we've been hooked by her radiant smile ever since. She'll soon grace the screen again in the sports drama From the Rough, playing the first woman to coach a college men's golf team.
Bridget Moynahan began turning heads on the covers of Glamour and Vogue in the 1990s. The More cover girl later turned her modeling stint into a successful acting career, bringing her wide smile along with her.
This lovely Latina, currently starring in ABC's Modern Family, had better practice flashing those pearly whites—she was recently named the new face of CoverGirl Cosmetics.
With dimples that deep, it's no wonder Jennifer Garner was cast as a 13-year-old stuck in a 30-year-old's body in 2004's 13 Going on 30. Her smile emits bubbly innocence, which provides a delightful juxtaposition to her sometimes tough-as-nails characters.
She's happily married (to Aussie beauty Portia de Rossi), a CoverGirl model and has one of the funniest talk shows on television. No wonder Ellen DeGeneres keeps grinning!
After taking a brief hiatus, the seemingly ageless star will bring her exotic smile back to the silver screen with three films scheduled for release in 2012.

Since her debut album back in 2005, M.I.A has made a career out of being the bad girl rockstar. Her creative mix of street fashion and high couture combine with her genre bending rap-pop songs to make her a trendsetter in the best sense of the word. She brought this compelling energy to the brand new Knockdown Center, located deep into Queens. The converted glass factory-turned-venue is in a wholly industrial district, nestled among autobody shops and Chinese importing warehouses. There was no alcohol available at the venue due to a permitting issue, but this did not stop the raving dance party that M.I.A. inspires.
Danny Brown and Bodega Bamz Bring Detroit and Spanish Harlem to LES
Danny Brown made an impact on the rap world with his album Old, released late last year. The innovative, grime influenced beats mixed with a lyricism and an attitude true to his Detroit roots struck a chord with both hipsters and hip hop heads.
Bodega Bamz has similar blend of creative production and locally influenced lyrics, but instead of Detroit, Bamz showcases Spanish Harlem to the world. He found his own niche among fans of New York hip hop ever since his 2012 mixtape Strictly 4 My Papis blended trap with Latino culture. Cosigns from A$AP Mob and Peter Rosenberg helped cement him as part of the new New York.
Both Danny and Bamz have created their own branded cliques – Bruiser Brigade for Danny, and Tan Boys for Bamz. These reference specific lifestyles while allowing fans worldwide to connect to each artist on a deeper level. Both Brusiers and Tan Boys were in the building for the Bowery Ballroom show in NYC, creating a blend of cultures that is totally NYC. Zeelopers opened the show by spitting nerd-rap verses over trap beats. The crowd responded graciously to his nostalgic references and constant energy.
Winter Music Conference: A Mecca for New EDM Sounds
Words by Chelsea Whitaker
Winter Music Conference (WMC) has become the official Spring Break of the EDM community, bringing together DJ's, artists, and music industry professionals together in sunny South Beach, Florida. Workshops, album premieres, and of course parties, were all on the agenda. There was not a quiet spot in Miami all week, and various EDM beats constantly filled the air along Ocean Drive.
One of the highlights was an exclusive listening party for Afrojack's anticipated new album, "Forget the World". This will be the first full length studio album for the Dutch DJ, who has made his mark by remixing the likes of Madonna and Beyonce while also co-producing and writing hits such as "Titanium". The album is a musical journey across genres, touching on deep house and even trap with a song featuring Snoop Dogg. The album will no doubt connect to core EDM fans, as well as gain radio traction across the country.
Along with listening events, club takeovers acted as live showcases for top label talent. The Brooklyn based Fool's Gold – headed by DJ A-Trak, threw some of the wildest and most talent-packed events. Top DJs including Loudpvck, Gladiator, High Klassified and Nick Catchdubs, hit various stages over 2 nights of parties, all hosted by A-Trak. The label set itself a part from the EDM madness with a Rap Party featuring Just Blaze. The packed event mixed songs by A$AP Ferg with classic Duck Sauce tracks, blending two worlds which are destined to collide in a big way this year.
Smaller parties acted as showcases for upcoming talent. Fresh from his Ultra set, DJ Max Gold, set himself apart from the mix by not only being the youngest guy at the Shore Club Red Room (he's 16), but by bringing a unique sound of tribal-meets-trap to the turntables.
Overall, WMC is a talent showcase and a networking party, rolled into one. Every mic, and every party was a chance to become the next club star. A random rapper hopped on the mic, spitting over EDM beats on the top of the Cleavelander at 2am while the ocean wind blew the entire crowd into frenzy. This epitomized WMC 2014 in one moment – genres mixing, random talent and, of course, Miami.

Miami Dolphins: Owner's meeting wrap
You know how our kids always have to write an essay about what they did during spring break or summer vacation. Well, I figure I'll do the same thing about my trip to Orlando for the NFL Owner's meetings.
Here's what we learned about the Miami Dolphins, and the league.
After talking to St. Louis its clear the Rams are leaning towards picking Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the first pick. Steve Spagnuola values accuracy and leadership and says Bradford has it. All they need to do is see him throw passes with some zip at his workout. They'll hold a private workout for him in the weeks follow his workout to see if the arm still has it.
If everything checks out medically, and the money can be agreed to, Bradford will be the draft's top pick…..
Every team has a different draft approach and philosophy, but Bill Parcells' approach is infamous, and it's all about SIZE. Bigger is better, but I learned the Dolphins also have speed mandates.
"If you want to be a big, physical team you better lean on that size [mandate]," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said there's always room for exceptions, and used Davone Bess' success in his first two years as an example, but there won't be too many exceptions made in the draft, especially in the early rounds.
I discovered a new Parcellism from the owner's meetings. It came from two of Parcells' disciples: "You make one exception and next thing you know you have a team full of exceptions."….
On the changes to overtime that will be put into effect in the playoffs, the coaches aren't very thrilled about it. They are even more troubled by the fact it was pushed through by the league when the coaches and General Managers were supposedly at a golf event.
However, there's no crying (or at least not much) over spilled milk because the changes are viewed by the owner's (who own the league and the teams) as what's best for the game. Or better yet, what's best for the TV impact of the game. There's talk the playoff rule might make it to the regular season by season's start. I'm personally fond of the Texas tiebreaker format college football uses, but I understand the downfalls of it for the NFL….
Dolphins owner Steve Ross is confident a Parcells lead front office will make Dolphins a playoff team.
Cowboys coach Wade Phillips says this is a "good draft" for 3-4 teams, especially when it comes to finding outside linebackers.
Maybe that explains why the Dolphins don't appear to be in a hurry to re-sign Jason Taylor. Listening to Tony Sparano refer to Taylor in past tense repeatedly on Tuesday has me wondering if he'll be playing elsewhere….
Speaking of outside linebackers, here's how Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt views the Joey Porter-Karlos Dansby swap Miami and Arizona made this offseason.
The Dolphins received a 7th round compensatory pick in the 2010 draft. It's pick No. 45 in that round, and 252th overall….
Dolphins WRs weren't amongst Tony Sparano's favorite subjects to talk about on Tuesday. Sparano was all on the defensive about his receivers, but he did describe the unit as "fine," which isn't exactly a glowing endorsement.
But that doesn't mean Brandon Marshall or Terrell Owens will be living in Miami anytime soon. Sparano hints that his team will pass on diva receivas.
Speaking of Dolphins WRs, Sparano has MAJOR regrets about receiver Patrick Turner. Read this blog entry to find out his issues with the USC rookie who sparingly played?
Sparano also addressed the issues surrounding Dez Bryant, and whether or not he'd be a good fit for the Dolphins. The conclusion I drew was that selecting Bryant is a possibility, it'll come down to his background check. The Dolphins do like to have a smaller draft board than most teams, and PLENTY of players come off it because of character concerns.
With that said, I found it interesting the Dolphins will hold a private workout for dismissed Syracuse receiver Mike Williams. Williams is considered a major talent in this draft, but he has character and maturity questions. Considering I've found there's no rhyme or reason that goes with which players the Dolphins workout I personally don't know what to think about this.
The Dolphins targeted new inside linebacker Karlos Dansby because of his playmaking ability, and level of activity on the field. Sparano used his game sealing fumble recovery in the Cardinals playoff win against Green Bay as an example of what he hopes Dansby will bring to the Dolphins.
The Dolphins are banking on Paul Soliai's development, but Sparano hasn't ruled out drafting a nose tackle. In fact, if I had to put money on who the Dolphins would pick with selection No. 12 it would be on Tennessee DT Dan Williams. Outside of Dan Cody, who has weight issues, Williams is viewed as the best nose tackle prospect.
During this blog entry Sparano discusses his four quarterbacks. He talks about Chad Henne's progress, Pat White needing to show he's developing, and why Chad Pennington was brought back.
Dolphins owner Steve Ross said his team's arrests are "a concern," but encourages a wait and see approach.
Ross wants the Dolphins to play more late games to keep the fans out of the heat and humidity. He made that request to the NFL.
I've got plenty more info to breakdown, but right now it's time to get back to South Florida. I'll be back a little later so stay tuned.

While most of the country had Monday off, the Mets were scheduled to take on the Miami Marlins. Unfortunately, they didn't get that memo as their pitiful season reached a new level of incompetency. The Mets made 6 errors (yes, you read that correctly) en route to a sloppy 9-6 loss at the hands of their division foes.
Zack Wheeler, who has dominated the Fish in the early stages of his young career slogged through his outing, throwing a ridiculous 114 pitches in just 4.2 innings. While he struck out 8, the hard throwing right-hander walked 2 and allowed a long home-run to Giancarlo Stanton in the 1st inning, his 34th of the year. He would allow a second earned run an inning later on a Marcell Ozuna RBI triple to deep center.
Henderson Alvarez took to the mound for Miami but made an early exit in the third inning after suffering an oblique injury. Despite the loss of their starter, the Marlin's bullpen managed to scrape out the win, thanks to the Mets inability to make routine plays on defense all afternoon.
Travis d'Arnaud and David Wright made one error apiece while rookies Jeurys Familia and Dilson Herrera made two each in what Terry Collin's described as a poor excuse for a major league baseball game. "I'm not sure I can say it publicly," Collins said about sharing his true thoughts on the error total. "It wasn't just that. A lot of phases of the game weren't very good."
The error total fell one shy of matching the franchise record. Three of Monday's errors came in a decisive three-run eighth inning in which the Marlins produced only one hit.
While Jeurys Familia has been a revelation for the Mets on the mound, his inabilty to field the ball has grown worrisome. His .813 fielding percentage would be far worse were it not for impressive scoops and pickups by Lucas Duda and Ruben Tejada throughout the season. Seemingly anytime Familia is tasked with throwing the ball towards a bag, it is in the dirt, the outfield, or anywhere but his target's glove.
If there was any bright spot in yesterday's meltdown, it was Dilson Herrera's bat. The 20-year-old Colombian infielder may not look menacing given his 5'10" 160 lb. frame, but he proved that he can pack a punch. He walloped his first career home run as well as his first career triple while accumulating 3 RBIs in his fourth career game. Through the 4 games, Herrera is batting .308 with 1 HR and 4 RBIs. With his two hits yesterday, Herrera has the same number of extra base hits as David Wright since the all-star break...
Though Terry Collins remained adamant after the game that the errors were a result of poor execution and not a lack of effort, the Mets have reached unacceptable levels of incompetency this season. Given the notion that this roster was supposed to win 90 games in GM Sandy Alderson's estimation during spring training, I cannot fathom how the beleaguered manager will be back for 2015. Yet there seems to be a relationship between Alderson and Collins that goes beyond wins and losses. So we will see what happens going forward, but for the time being it is hard to imagine Collins is going anywhere soon despite the sputtering performance of his ball club.

Nice to see Keiffer scoring for the U21's and getting a MOTM. Nobody ruin this by pointing out these fixtures were against Scotland & Slovakia U21's...
Ugh so gutted to lose out on qualification for the U21 Euros.
Not even that hard a group
thx toon! 7 in 13, thats some good stuff.. just hope he can start scoring for his club!
toon, any chance of posting a screenie of Luxembourg captain and right back Kim Kintziger?
Just want to see how long its going to take to get his place!
Muller injured for 3months :/ was playing well aswell
I guess it's kind of obvious Marc Scutto's 5.2 rating is to blame for that Bulgaria result. Sorry everyone. Hey, mybe if you all donate your PA prizes to him he'll suck less and stop dragging the nation down?
Yann Diedrichs first award!!! Now i can die a happy man, so proud! haha. Thx toon, this sign-up rocks!
Andre Muller already has 3 assists even with injury :P record = broken just hope he has most assists by end of the season
Just realised!! Diedrich's finishing was one of the attributes set in the beg as 20... there goes go old Yann winning finishing points he doesn't need ;-) The PA is awesome though! B-) Can i maybe put those 2 points into composure, cause i see on the first pg it says attributes of choosing? If i'm pushing my luck then just shout at me or something :-P :-P :-P
Also is it unfair to try claim the 9.5 or 10 international rating award on the firts page aswell seeing as i got it in the hatrick game? ;-)

Wow, a wonder kid finally! Gratz! Ibra is not performing though, struggling with the move up in leagues. Still he is still getting played!
Dammit! Regressing sucks! At least the finishing is up again with the reward :-D
Now Yann Diedrich will just have to get another 9.5 on the international stage... maybe even in a world cup final in the not too distant future :-P Ah, us humble Luxembourgians can dream too! :-)
ok so the next update is ready to be written up i may do some tonight
oh and what formation should i play for Luxembourg iwas going to do
i am aa very attacking manager and most of the time it works aand if you are up for it i will cast of vote in each positionto see who plays for the national team starting 11 but you cant vote for yourself because to be honest i want to get you lot involved as much as i can
I think that is a good tactic to use, definitely something pushing forward, as for Des, he really needs a move from Villa, no idea why they aren't playing him...
Yeah, that formation will get us some goals! the defenders will step up 2 i'm sure! I reckon u just rotate for your first few games in charge letting different ppl start.... and the ones who suit the system best stay playing. Think thats the fairest way, cause i want the national team to climb those rankings!! then of course club form and injuries could always sway u from that original setup later down the line! Ur the manager Toon! We have faith! Oh, i reckon u should have a press confernce to announce urself as the national team manager!
Best of Luck Toon, we are all behind you...until you fail, when we will all point out how 'Arry Redknapp would have done better because he is 'the people's choice'.
Just edit it so that a high profile jobless manager takes charge.
Saves any potential arguments over your team selection

More injuries! Having a mare

Gossard needs a move ASAP. Just can't get any playing time no matter where he is!
Finnally playing!!
Can't help but think the Inter move was a bit too soon for Keiffer, nice to see he is used every now and then as a starting player though.
If you take away 3 from his PA, will you injure everyone ahead of him in his position?

Breaking News : Big Al (Adelbert Steiner) Been found positive of a banned substance will not be getting the LPOTY
Adelbert Steiner Statement:
I would like to state that I never meant to harm anyone around me espescially my fellow Luxembourgers. That's the last thing I wanted to do. I've been in with a bad crowd of people while in Italy and am now in rehabilitation trying to combat my addiction. Hopefully I can return next year and take part in our prestigious awards.
Thank you.
Al's form was beastly! What banned substance was he using?!?!?! And more importantly... where can Yann Diedrich get some? ;-)
Yeah, Tries Long Range FK for Brabarius. Chialvert 2.0

Alex and Ronny were 2 of many I would party with. It all started when I won the LPOTY award last year. Next thing I know, I'm out every night, taking everything under the sun. I'm surprised I even managed to play every game, I was so high. It just got out of control, after we qualified for the Champions League I woke up in the colessium the next day lying next to Danny de Rossi completely naked with a bunch of tourists standing over us.
I'm done with that now and want to focus on my football.
As for Ronny, yes he is. And I know he won't mind me saying that because we went to a farm one night and this donkey must've thought he looked like a nice piece of "ass" and attempted to ride him! Ronny just went with it! Sorry mate!

Cisco snaps up Cariden
The deal: Cisco acquired service provider Cariden in November for $141 million in cash and incentives.
In early 2011, Cisco began a path backtracking toward its service provider roots by killing its Flip video line and pledging to focus less on consumer-oriented products and more on its key strength, business and carrier-grade equipment and services. The vendor reiterated that focus, and signaled a move toward the networking market segment, with its November acquisition of Cariden, a move that will enhance its management capabilities for IP/MPLS and optical networks.
The $141 million cash and incentives deal, expected to close in Q2 2013, will enable Cisco to integrate all of Cariden's service provider-focused modeling and optimization tools used in network planning, design and traffic management.
Why it's significant: The acquisition one just one of three key buys Cisco made in November. The vendor picked up Cloupia, a data center software firm, for $125 million, and Meraki, a cloud networking provider, for $1.2 billion. All three acquisitions point to a move to expand Cisco's presence in the networking and cloud services segment, in order to balance a shrinking core switching and router equipment market.
That diversification, as well as its move to sell off its Linksys home router division and easing pressure on its core switching and routers from competitors Juniper, Huawei and HP, has earned the confidence of investors and garnered Cisco a raise by RBC Capital analysts from "perform" to "outperform" for Q4. The overall result was a bump up in its stock price on the Nasdaq right after the new year, reflecting the stock price's climb from a 52-week low of $14.96 to as much as $21.30.
For a business that pundits thought was sinking two years ago, Cisco looks poised to return to profitability in a short time.

Verizon Upgrades Touch Pro2 and Ozone to WM 6.5
Lost in the midst of 5 million other press releases and CES-related announcements, one little piece of news happened to slip past all that to get to us, that will be of importance to many Verizon Touch Pro2 and Ozone users: Windows Mobile 6.5 is now available as an official upgrade for these handsets.
It turns out that while the unofficial ROM release for the devices were leaked out some days ago, these downloads are indeed the same build number, implying they are one and the same.
On the Touch Pro2, other upgrades include updated drivers to support some enhancements to TouchFLO 3D and adds global support for VZ Navigator.
To get your hands on these upgrades, go here for Ozone and go here for Touch Pro2.

The first day of the Micronesian Regional Championships were conducted in fabulous 'winter' weather at LeoPalace, Guam.
With more than 150 athletes from around Micronesia competing there was a feast of competition, with the best coming in the men's 100 metre final.
The Howard brothers didn't disappoint when they took out the double for the Federated State of Micronesia in a time of 11.21 seconds. Although the time might not have been what they would have liked it was certainly the race to watch.
After some questionable starts in the heats of the 60 metres and 100 metres John Howard took the early lead in the final of the 100 metres with Jack Howard lunging at the line in the final stride to take out the event from his twin brother. NMI's Tyrone Omar was too slow out of the blocks, but hung on to take third place.
The women's 100 metres looked like going to Felicia Saburo, Palau, after strong runs in the 60 metres and 100 metre heats. But Mystique Rosa Jone was too good in the final and was never in doubt when she clocked a time of 12.90. Mystique took advantage of her final training in Cairns and decided that the 60 metres might take the edge off her 100 metres - a decision that proved to her advantage.
There was a lot of other action on the track and in the field. For a full set of results go to Competitions on the left hand side of the OAA Homepage and go to Micronesian Regional Championships 2007 - Results Day 1.
The final day of competition will start at 7.00am on Saturday.

Miami ran a variation on this play several times Sunday with some pretty consistent success. Its a "sweep play" where the running back goes to the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle, and has some room to run.
In college, this is a highly effective tactic because the fast running back can get to the edge faster than the defense. However, most NFL defenses are so quick that the effect is negated...unless you run some motion. In this case, Martin is running across the formation to the left, which would make the defense read run left. At the snap, the line starts blocking right, but from odd angles, so that they have leverage and can switch to blocking left, thus keeping the defense off balance. Meanwhile Martin comes around and takes out the linebacker "from behind" and the fullback goes and takes out the defensive back on the end.
Now, all the has to happen is that Ricky runs through the gap, and its a first down.

Verizon's LG VS930 to be called LG Spectrum 2?
We've already seen the LG VS930, which is Verizon's version of the LG Optimus LTE 2. Now new renders of it have appeared, alongside new name-related info.
TechnoBuffalo has it that the smartphone will be called LG Spectrum 2 when it finally hit the shelves. And that kind of makes sense, since the first Spectrum (launched by Verizon in January, and currently sold for $99.99 on contract) is the VS920.
There's still no word on when Verizon intends to release the VS930 Spectrum 2. But we know that it will come with a 4.7 inch True IPS HD display, LTE, NFC, 8MP rear camera, 1GB of RAM, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, and 16GB of internal memory. It will run Android 4.0.4 at launch – or maybe Jelly Bean? We'll see.

MATHEMATICS TEACHER Greg Massoglia, far right, sings with the band "Juan Direction" during La Festival de Navidad at the Hurley K-12 School Friday. Band members are, from left, junior Jordan Kokely, senior Ruger Manzer, junior Dakota Rice, senior Chris Edyvean and junior Danielle Irons (hidden).
HURLEY - Nothing says Christmas like burritos, deep-fried ice cream and virgin strawberry daiquiris.
High school Spanish students held the annual La Festival de Navidad at the Hurley K-12 School Friday, mixing Spanish customs with the holiday season.
The event took place in the elementary gym, featuring a variety of culinary options from different Spanish-speaking countries and other activities.
According to Spanish teacher Natalie Patritto, it is the 11th year the school has hosted the event. The festival is organized and run by the students, and Patritto said she had around 60 working the event this year.
"They pull it all together and do a really good job," Patritto said.
Attractions at the festival included a live mariachi band called "Juan Direction," games, palm readings, hair braiding, items for sale, lots of food and a visit from Santa Claus.
Non-Spanish students were able to attend the event, including elementary and middle school students.
"This is a perfect setting, with it being a K-12 building," Patritto said. "That is what makes it work."
To help younger students learn more about Spanish cultures, Patritto's students visit classrooms and speak about what they have learned.
The festival is such a success, it has sparked interest from other school districts.
"We have students coming from Drummond today," Patritto said. "Their Spanish teacher is interested in starting a festival there, and would like to see how it works."
After more than 10 years, the event is still a success.
"The students do an awesome job," Patritto said. "They really look forward to this each year."

La Trobe University
La Trobe University has been acknowledged as a leading higher education institution by a range of international organisations in recent years.
The main campus of La Trobe University in Melbourne (Bundoora) is situated in spacious parkland and includes a Wildlife Reserve. This metropolitan campus also houses the main research and teaching facilities of the University, including the Research and Development Park, a world renowned library, multi-media facilities and a hospital including student medical services.
The Melbourne (City) campus offers postgraduate courses in business, law and health sciences. In a move to establish a major presence in Melbourne's CBD, a new City campus will open in 2008. The new campus will be a hub for teaching and research, offering an expanded range of pathway, undergraduate and postgraduate courses, with an emphasis on professional, executive and international studies.
The University also has campuses in regional Victoria, in Bendigo, Albury-Wodonga, Shepparton, Mildura and Beechworth. This network of campuses provides learning opportunities for students in regional areas, adds diversity to the University, and through programs of regional engagement contributes in significant ways to the development of regional Victoria.
The University maintains a comprehensive academic profile and the defining features may be summarised as follows:
The key objectives of the University are to be an internationally acknowledged centre for teaching, training, scholarship and research and to prepare students for the various needs and challenges of work and society.
The University has a particularly strong commitment to internationalisation and it seeks not only to attract students and staff from all around the world but also to provide opportunities for local students and staff to gain international experience through a scheme of exchange programs. In particular it leads the International Network of Universities which is a consortium of universities specifically designed to promote student mobility. Currently the University has links with some 250 institutions in more than 40 countries.
The University is committed to student-centred learning and in this regard it is pleasing to report that graduates have consistently accorded a very high rating to the quality of the teaching in the annual surveys conducted by the Graduate Careers Council of Australia.

We may not have all been quick to hop on the high-waisted sailor pants bandwagon, but who doesn't love a little bit of extra coverage when it's time to step out in a bikini? Gap's Button Girl Short Bikini ($35) has all the elements we're looking for in bathing suit bottoms: they can't come untied, they're a classic shape, they actually cover our butts, and they're freakin' cute! Available in black or blue - we're grabbing the black ones and finding some fun patterned tops.

Twenty-five Representatives gathered for a special hearing of the powerful U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. On March 14, the Committee, chaired by Rep. Ed Royce of California, listened to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kin Moy talk about America's "strategic rebalance" in Asia.
However, for Taiwan, the "strategic rebalance" is actually a continuation of the longstanding "strategic ambiguity" policy and opposition to Taiwanese independence while selling $12 billion of weapons to the exiled Republic of China government administering the island. Under the San Francisco Peace Treaty, the United States is the principal occupying power of the former Japanese territory known as Formosa before the ROC occupation after World War II.
Moy proclaimed: "Our policy is to support Taiwan membership in international organizations where statehood is not a requirement for membership and encourage Taiwan's meaningful participation, as appropriate, in organizations where its membership is not possible."
However, opposition to Taiwanese independence is not acquiescence to the two Chinas competing for control of the island of 23 million people. The Republic of China in-exile, currently controlling the island, lacks sovereignty and was installed by the United States in October 1945 as an interim measure. The People's Republic of China, which considers Taiwan a renegade province, makes threats of military aggression.
"Taiwan has earned a respected place in the world. Every society wishes dignity for itself, and people on Taiwan are no exception. Thanks to the Taiwan Relations Act, people of good will in the United States and on Taiwan have a firm foundation to further strengthen our robust relationship for the benefit of both our peoples."
Rep. Steve Chabot called for medical parole of former ROC President Chen Shui-bian. Chen, jailed since shortly after leaving office in 2008, is suffering from severe sleep apnea, suicidal depression, and a progressive neurological deterioration that has left him unsteady, stammering, and trembling. Chen was accused of corruption but his controversial no-jury trial was marred with a changing of judges, midnight sessions, courtroom harassment of Chen by hostile observers, and recanted, coerced testimony.
Chen Shui-bian has become an iconic figure symbolizing Taiwanese independence and what can happen to opponents under the Kuomintang with a history of harsh martial law four decades long.
Rep. Chris Smith said it was time to replace the "one China" policy with a "one China" and "one Taiwan" policy.
Chairman Royce called for the sale of advanced F-16 fighter planes for the ROC Air Force.
In 2009, the District of Columbia U.S. Court of Appeals declared that the "strategic ambiguity" surrounding Taiwan's status constituted "political purgatory" and urged President Barack Obama to take swift action to clarify Taiwan's status. Kin Moy's remarks to the House committee do not suggest Obama will heed the court ruling anytime soon despite the so-called rebalance of U.S. foreign policy.
