Situated along the coast of Peru, around 250 miles from Lima, the Nazca Lines encompass an area once occupied by an extremely developed society, which adopted advanced farming methods to allow for irrigation systems, improved crops and an expansion of farming land. The Nazca tribe were immensely skilled not only in agricultural techniques but also in art. They displayed outstanding skills in weaving, pottery, and architecture, however were sadly unable to ward off the vicious attacks of the Spanish conquest and were rapidly defeated. Undoubtedly the most resounding symbol of this ancient tribe is the Nazca Lines.

Although the purpose of these ground drawings has not been fully established many archaeologists ascribe religious significance to them as the lines are thought to have been attempt by the Nazca people to display their work to their gods in the sky. Another theory maintains that the lines had astronomical and cosmological purposes and that they were intended to act as a kind of observatory, to point to the places on the distant horizon where the sun and other celestial bodies rose or set.

An usual conclusion came to the fore in the 1950s when UFO sightings began to increase. Many people looked back to ancient symbols and artifacts as example of extraterrestrial activity, the Nazca Lines provided one of these examples. One writer suggested that the Lines were intended as signals to interplanetary visitors. While this theory is highly sceptical it displays the interest and mystery surrounding these elusive drawings.

The work involved in creating these lines was vast. Spanning an area of nearly 500 square km and with the largest figure approximately 270m, the Nazca tribesmen embarked on a huge and complex task.

Interestingly the enormity of the Nazca Lines took several years to be discovered. Many people walked along the geoglyphs unaware of the significance of what their feet were touching. While the lines made for unimpressive and meaningless scribbles at ground level, by plane the gigantic figures and lines could be fully realised.

While the Lines are one of the few surviving reminders of the ancient world many are unsure how much longer they will survive. Due to an increase in pollution and erosion in the area many fear that the Nazca Lines could be gradually erased.

The Nazca Lines in Peru serve as further reminder of the immense and powerful talent and skills of the ancient civilisations. The sheer scale of the drawings propels the Lines into awe´-inspiring magnificence. An unmissable experience, to view these Lines is truly to view the beauty of the world.

WELCOME & CONTENTS

--------------------

Hello again, and welcome back to your fortnightly newsletter from the
offices of TrainerTrackStats. Having enjoyed a (very) extended festive
break (actually I've been working on another project, but more of that in
due course...), I'm pleased to be back with more news and views from the
world of jumps racing.

In this issue:

- Review since last newsletter

- System angle: "Grand National Early Bird Preview"

- Coming Soon: TrainerFlatStats

- The TTS Joke...

- Tomorrow's qualifiers

------------------------------

REVIEW SINCE LAST NEWSLETTER

------------------------------

I'm delighted to report that after a period in the doldrums, where we seemed to have more
seconds than Billy Bunter, TTS is now well and truly back among the winners.

Since I wrote to you, much has happened in the main trial events to shake up the markets,
and yet - to these eyes, at least - things are pretty much as they were...

Last time, I gave a big shout for a horse called Exotic Dancer (you can see what I said in
this section of newsletter 7 at http://www.TrainerTrackStats.com/newsletters)

I don't mind sharing with you that I have a whopping £13.46 on him to win the Gold Cup.
Perhaps more interesting is the odds I have, which are 84.66/1. What did we ever do before
Betfair?!!

Now I know this is gloating before the event and that bet is worth nothing (or what I can lay
it off at, at least), but I strongly fancy him to beat Kauto Star in March.

He wasn't beaten far by that rival at Kempton on a track that I mentioned last time wouldn't
suit, and over the Gold Cup trip at Cheltenham last time he put to bed any doubts about his
stamina, waltzing through in customary fashion to thrash some proven stayers in Old Vic and
Halcon Genelardais (a Welsh National winner!).

To be honest, I don't know where the stamina doubts came from. I mean, he'd won pretty much in
a canter of 3 miles in the Paddy Power for Heaven's sake.

I'm not sure about the Irish this year, and they'd have to be feared, but I reckon a safe
conveyance is pretty much assured from Exotic Dancer (and I bet Kauto at Cheltenham last year,
when he fell...) and I can't see him out of the frame.

Incidentally, before I finally nail the coffin of Exotic Dancer's Gold Cup chance, I have him
for a place at just over 8/1 too!

Elsewhere, the Champion Hurdle looks like being one of the best renewals for many a long year.
There are any number of pretenders looking to step up to the plate and, despite my naysaying
about Detroit City, he continues to perform. As importantly, the form of the race I cribbed as
a graveyard for Champion Hurdle hopefuls (previous year's Triumph Hurdle) looks rock solid with
Blazing Bailey and others boosting it.

However, this race has been farmed in recent years by the Irish, and I expect to go across the
sea once more. I'm just not sure with which horse!

My heart says Hardy Eustace (or Hardly Useless, as I unkindly refer to him), as he was half of
my biggest ever win when he won the Champion and Kicking King won the Gold Cup a couple of
years ago.

But, strictly on form, its hard to ignore the run of Macs Joy, who finished a close up third
behind Hardy and the well backed Brave Inca. Macs wasn't beaten far in the Champion last year,
and looks to be the improver I'd want to be on. But, like I say, its a mouth watering race for
sure.

Finally, in my Cheltenham fancies piece, I want to give a mention to a horse trained by a guy I
flagged in TTS as a man to definitely follow, Alan King. The horse is called Katchit, and he's
an absolute star.

He will win the Triumph Hurdle. If you know your racing, you'll knoW what an outlandish statement
that is (the Triumph usually has 30+ runners, any number of which are completely unexposed!). But
the way this horse travels in his races, then quickens; the form he's shown in beating his major
market rivals (except Degas Art, who will never beat Katchit in a true run race); and his course
and distance form at Cheltenham, mark Katchit down as a strong bet in my book.

He'll be taken on by Mountain and Lounaos for favouritism on the day, and I wouldn't advise rushing
to grab a price on Katchit right now (he may be longer than his current 13/2 on the day),
but I think he is the bet. (By the way, with the exception of Lounaos, the Irish are weak this year.
This horse is, in my view, the chief threat to Katchit.)

---------------------------------

SYSTEM ANGLE: Aintree Early Bird!

---------------------------------

This may sound like more profound tosh from the TTS mouth, but - believe it or not - the Aintree
Grand National is one of the best stats races in the year!

And today, I'm going to share with you why, and my thoughts on the shortlist at this time.

First of all the 'why'. The Grand National is a unique test for a horse in a number of ways:

- No other race has so many horses lining up

- No other race is run over such an extreme distance

- No other race has the Aintree fences (with the exception of races at the track of course)

- No other race offers such much prize money and kudos (attracting some very classy horses)

- No other race is guaranteed to be run at a frantic pace from the outset

- No French race is run over anything like this distance (French breds don't stay the trip!)

The stats angle for the race says to follow the logic. This means that we're looking for:

- a proven stayer (won over 3m+);

- a reliable jumper (less than two falls in the last two seasons), and at least into his third season

jumping;

- a horse that has won in a field of at least 12;

- a horse mature enough to win the race, but not past his best (aged 8-12);

- a horse in the handicap proper (i.e. scheduled to carry 10-00 or more - this is tricky as the

weights are yet to be published);

- a horse with proven class (placed in a Grade 3 chase or better);

- a horse who was not bred in France (some have run close, none have won...);and,

- Pay special attention to the Irish (especially if they've been hurdling!); and,

- Favour horses who have jumped the Aintree fences

There, its not rocket science is it!

So, by using these factors, we quickly cut the Grand National field of 119 down to size.
(Actually, at this stage of the season, I usually allow one of the above form criteria to be broken.
So a horse can still win in a field of 12+ say before April. However, a horse will still be 7 if he
is now, so misses the cut; a French bred will still be a French bred, so misses the cut, etc.).

Applying the criteria above manually (so forgive any mistakes I may have made), I believe we are left with a
(very) short list of eight horses. They're listed below in no particular order, along with any comments:

Point Barrow - Irish National winner off top weight

Graphic Approach - Run some eye catching races for his shrewd trainer who went close with Mely Moss

Naunton Brook - Sound form, safe jumper, trainer won with Earth Summit. Entered in Red Sq Gold Cup on 17th Feb

Cloudy Bays - Excellent form in Ireland, has been running in hurdles, but may have to carry too much weight?

Dun Doire - Cheltenham Festival winner for very shrewd trainer, hampered when unseated last year, been running
in hurdles races since Grand National '06

Garvivonnian - An old friend of mine, races prominently and jumps well, so will give a run for money. Doubtful
stayer though, alas.

Numbersixvalverde - Last year's winner, and been racing in hurdles since. Handicapper will probably make it very
difficult for last year's hero to repeat the feat.

Silver Birch - my big ante-post wager last year, before things went inexplicably wrong. Has been nursed back to
form by lesser known Irish trainer and finished 2nd in a cross country race at Punchestown last weekend.

From these, I would want to be with Point Barrow (16/1), Graphic Approach (100/1), Naunton Brook(40/1), and
Dun Doire (16/1).

I'll bring a revised view nearer the time, when other horses may have qualified, and the weights have been
released.

COMING SOON: TRAINERFLATSTATS

------------------------------

The main reason for the delay in sending out this newsletter is that I have been slavishly labouring on my new
project, TrainerFlatStats. As the name suggests, its the same concept but for the flat season beginning in March.

I've really enjoyed the feedback from you,dear readers, over the course of the winter, and some of the comments
you've made deserved to be shared with a wider audience. For this reason, there will be a blog feature on the flat
site, which will replace my periodic newsletters.

The content there will of course be much more current, and - best of all - it will be fully interactive, meaning you
can share your thoughts with other readers. [Please keep them clean!]

More on TFS in the next newsletter...

THE TTS JOKE

-------------

I hope this doesn't apply to any of you, dear readers....!

The chronic horse player paused before taking his place at the betting windows, and offered up a fervent
prayer to his Maker. "Blessed Lord," he muttered with intense sincerity, "I know you don't approve of my
gambling, but this once, Lord, just this once, please let me break even. I need the money so badly."

1 .Sightseeing in Croatia

If it's a holiday in the sun you're after, a trip to Croatia will certainly suffice. Situated on the Adriatic Sea, Croatia's rocky coastline is intriguing and beautiful, making it a prime spot to get some sun while enjoying exceptional scenery.

It's not only the coast that makes Croatia a good sun holiday destination, with the rolling hills in the north and northeast, and the thick forests of the mountains in Lika and Gorski Kotar providing a good contrast to the beach summer holiday stereotype.

When you're in the mood for a bit of sightseeing, Croatia boasts eight National Parks and seven World Heritage Sites, ensuring you'll never be short of something to do.

2. Sun and Culture in Cyprus

Cyprus is a culturally rich sun holiday destination, where lazy days spent on the beach can be coupled with fascinating cultural excursions. Choirokoita is possibly the best preserved site of prehistoric settlement in the Eastern Mediterranean, where you can sneak a peak into an ancient civilisation. Wander through Roman villas where floor mosaics depict mythological scenes, and pay a visit to the underground tombs of kings.

A wide variety of beaches are, of course, readily at your disposal. Pick a beach to suit your mood, from secluded bays to stretching sandy coastlines or rocky coves.

3. The Miniature Continent of Gran Canaria

One of the seven Canary Islands, Gran Canaria is a 'miniature continent' in its own right, with a variety of landscapes and climates despite its small size. A holiday in the sun is virtually a permanent possibility on this island, with average temperatures being 20Ú even in winter.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital city, is known for its vibrant nightlife, as well as miles and miles of beautiful beaches. For a quieter and more local experience, Agüines is a small traditional Canarian town, centred around its old church. Another worthwhile stop is Vecindario, a town predominantly inhabited by locals, with a weekly open air market selling local goods.

4. Volcanic Landscapes in Lanzarote

A truly unique sun holiday destination, Lanzarote's volcanic landscapes contrast rocky mountains and beautiful beaches. With volcanic eruptions as recent as 1824, large parts of the island have landscapes which look like something from another world. El Golfo is a volcanic crater filled by sea water made green by algae, creating a green lagoon surrounded by black sand banks.

The Timanfaya National Park is a must for anyone travelling in the region, where 100 volcanoes rose up and dramatically altered the landscape. This mountainous region is known the Montanas del Fuego (Fire Mountains), and the temperature just below the surface is between 400Ú and 600Ú. You will be sure to witness a demonstration of this heat by someone at the park, where a dry brush is thrown down a hole in the earth and instantly ignites.

In addition to the stark volcanic landscapes, golden, black and white sandy beaches line the coast, providing relaxing relief from exploring the inland wonders and creating a holiday in the sun with a difference.

5. A Taste of Turkey

Turkey marks the gateway between Europe and Asia, creating a blend of Eastern and Western cultures and traditions. Encircled by the sea on three sides, Turkey is a beautiful sun holiday destination. With the Aegean Sea in the West, the Black Sea in the North, the Mediterranean Sea in the South, and the Sea of Marmara situated inland, there is certainly no shortage of beach.

Exploring Turkey is an exciting endeavour, with the culture, music and food all displaying the blend of cultures making up this unique land. Enjoy delicious dining as you feast on simple dolmas, or enjoy the principle fish of Turkey, Hamsi, which is served in 41 different ways (including a dessert!). You can expect great-tasting food, interesting culture and beautiful scenery, making for a great holiday in the sun.

Very much like the well known Inca and Aztec civilizations who rose to power at a later date, the Mayan belief system was based around their perception of time as being cyclical in nature. That the Maya were exceptional astronomers is without question, close observation was made of celestial and terrestrial cycles, and what they found was recorded in the form of calendars. Their application of this data to predict weather patterns was no doubt of great assistance in matters agricultural. Ceremony and ritual were also intimately associated with these findings, with a priest class who's role was to interpret the data/calendars and make prophecies that dictated the future actions of the empire. Would the future be a time of bounty or a time of strife? Are the heavens in a favourable position?

The Mayans being rather organized had several calendars, but it is the 'long count' calendar that has great importance. This calendar was the point of reference for any significant/historical social events. Indeed it is so well formed, our western calendar can be linked to it and this has allowed modern scholars to discover the now infamous date that lies so close on the horizon. Apparently for the first time in five thousand years the long count calendar finishes a cycle. In 2012.

Our understanding of the Mayan calendar is derived from the Mayan texts or codex', in particular the Dresden codex (named for the area in Germany in which it is stored). Measuring eight inches in height and eleven feet in length it is made from Amatl paper (fig-bark covered with a lime paste) this is then folded in the manner of an accordion.

Of all the surviving pre-Columbian texts, the largest amount of astronomical data is found in the Dresden codex, it also contains pictures. Very interesting pictures indeed. For example the last page of the Dresden codex appears to show the destruction of the earth by water with the Mayan Goddess Chac Chel pouring water from a jar and the great sky crocodile raining water from its mouth to drown the world.

Needless to say this portends annihilation by deluge. On the bright side it could be worse, say death by fire, I for one can swim but I am certainly not fire proof.

It is in a number of writings that date from the late 15th/early sixteenth century that the most specific information regarding 2012 calendar predictions can be found. Called Chilam Balam ("oracular priest" and "jaguar") this collection of only nine writings named after Yucatan townships appear to be a combination of both Mayan and Spanish beliefs. Consisting mainly of calendrics, astrology, history (both pre-Spanish and colonial) and herbal medicine

It is impossible to cover the Mayan civilization without paying mention to the remarkable and enigmatic figure of Lord Pacal Votan. Lord Pacal it is said, came from across the sea to the Yucatan peninsula from his homeland. A place called Valum Chivim, that was struck by catastrophe and sunk beneath the waves. Residing in the holy city of Palenque, he was a culture bearer and prophet to the ancient peoples of the Yucatan region in the 7th century a.d. A teacher of great wisdom who performed miracles of healing, understood mathematics and intriguingly was known as a magician of time, able to maneouver his way through dimensions. I'm sure modern day quantum physicists would love a chat with Lord Pacal Votan, regarding worm holes and string theory. Even with his death the mystery of Lord Pacal deepened, i refer of course to his remarkable and intricately carved sarcophagus lid. The mind boggles.

It is Lord Pacal Votans prophetic message that reverberates so poignantly at this point in human history. Lord Pacal speaks of the end of this World Age Cycle on December 21st, 2012 AD. As this date approaches, we are experiencing nothing less than the death throws of the old world dying and the birth pains of a new world being born.

World's Blindness & Poet's Vigil

1) World's Blindness

Man can't seem to see

He's divided

The worlds in disarray;

All us little sheep--

Are now fast asleep

While Satan's on His way!

In the dead of night

He'll burn daylight:

Covered us with blindness;

When we do awake,

It will be too late

Lost somewhere in the stars!

#1376 6/24/06

2) Poet's Vigil

Poet, find your way

In the outward trail;

Quickly, please--today

Write, that man my read

Images deeply glowing

For time is short for all

In the global picture now.

#1375 6/24/06

Note: We have tough choices to make in the future, as this new century moves forward; no magic yet, just hopefully mature actions; we live in a world when hard fingerprints is the one that makes right and wrong legal, not that it is. When I was a kid, when someone said this was "Right, and this is wrong," I was expected to listen; now it is pushed under the rug. We seem to need the editorial pages of newspapers to tell us what's right and wrong, and in most cases the paper is only a view of unknowing, uncaring people putting something out there so they can make a buck, the "Herald Tribune," comes to mind, they got a lot of opinion, comments, they think is written in stone, when in essence, it is some kid green with life, and war, never been in one, never will telling us all what is right and wrong. They are hired because they can come up with fancy words, nice sentences, no common sense, but they can spell; God help us all.

In these two poems, "Poet's Vigil," for example, it should be noted, we as poets, parents, government officials, have a duty to show in words and actions, what is really happening, stretch out the rights and wrongs. And in the second poem "World's Blindness," it is no more than reading a daily international paper, traveling around the world and seeing what is happening: the devil is working overtime, as we play 'Blind Man's bluff."

What do You Do When You Are Broke And The Earth Needs You?

It was around the time of the Solstice and I had various signs and synchronizations that I HAD to be on the island of the sun, known to the ancient natives that still run the Island as the Birth Place of the Sun.

This tribe is definitely a left behind collective of old Native American Consciousness and has Lumerian symbolic and methodology throughout their shamanic practices.

Even more so, there are fossilized 'human" bone that make up important structure in the temple. The pelvic bone of a woman is used as a shadow maker in one of the temples. As the suns rays get blocked by this structure at different times of the day and parts of the year the shadows make animal shapes on an alter table.

They are very sophisticated human healing technology as well as training grounds to plug into like a socket or outlet and charge yourself up with energy. The Technology is intense.

So What is With The Bone?

It was two days before the solstice and I was pretty, knowing I would need the money I had for when I got back and would start doing more paying work. I knew I would make money when I came back, I was coming out of a long service cycle connected with the birth of my daughter so it was good.

About that, I as well had yet to find a person to watch my daughter for me. But I had no tension, I knew it was all going to come together. And it did...

At the last minute my friend Marisol, who runs a massage center, got her English classes canceled and agreed to watch the baby. My other friend Selva had two tickets to Bolivia and was using her second with her boy friend who at the last minute couldn't go... so there I was, with all logic saying I should be working for money for my baby getting on a bus with less than $80 on my way to Bolivia. I might add for an American the Visa to enter Bolivia is $155 so my net value was like 1/2th the cost of the visa. I wasn't worried, my shamanic abilities had gotten me through much more difficult situations when the Earth was calling on me.

The first pass through the border went pretty well but for some reason the tickets got messed up. You have to travel from Cuzco to Puno and then in Puno you get on a new Bus to Copacabana in Bolivia. When we got to Puno for some reason I was put on a different bus than my friend Selva. I was like... "Okay"

So we went out to watch the sunrise over the magnificent Lake Titicaca before splitting up, sure to meet again once in Copacabana. We watched as the sun rose over the great expanse of the largest lake at the highest altitude in the world and I left Selva to Meditate on her own as my bus was scheduled to leave before her own.

The Bus to Bolivia was a completely different story than the bus to Puno... I went from being the only "foreigner" to looking like I might actually be the only Peruvian. This left me feeling a lot better about my chances of border crossing without any problems... I dressed in clothes I thought wouldn't stand out in to little or two big a way, jeans and a black jacket. I really needed to make this trip happen.

I actually had a third motive for making the trip, my visa for Peru had expired a few weeks before and I was thus illegal. Each day past your visa counts as $1 USD you have to pay when you leave the country. I was about 12 days over and again my total cash was about twenty bucks.

When I got to the Peruvian Side of the border I managed to work the situation, Shaman Style. There was a clearly tourist girl in the line a couple of people ahead of me. She didn't speak Spanish but she was having problems due to her thinking her visa was 90 days... but it was actually only 30. She therefore owed about $45 dollars to leave the country.

Since she wasn't speaking and the border patrol officials weren't speaking any English I took advantage of the situation to not only get ahead quite a few people in line but also make myself look like a good Samaritan in front of the border control.

The tactic worked Quite Well.

I succeeded in making the agents feel like they had done a good job in getting their country money by explaining to the girl where she had to go to pay the $45 and what they were actually talking about. The whole situation, with me translating took about 15 minutes and after I just made myself next in line... the agent hardly even looked at my passport as he stamped it, officially signing me out of the country. The first phase, avoiding paying the $12 of my $20 of late visa fees was successfully avoided.

We were then all advised to walk across the border and do what we had to do on the Bolivian side of immigrations... and then we would be let back on the bus. I have learned, through experience, that the best way to break law is to casually break the law in front of the law men like you were doing nothing wrong.

So once on the Bolivian side I followed the masses towards the control check point, veered off to the money exchange spot, exchanged some money and then linked back in with the first people leaving the check point after getting their papers stamped. I then hung out talking with two people, sitting right in front of the Bolivian Military Border Police Headquarters. Casually talking about the Island of the sun and how lucky the people were to be heading towards there for the solstice.

Soon enough of our bus had gone through customs that they opened the doors to let people back in. I made another loop around the vicinity to buy some crackers and got back on the bus. 15 minutes later we were heading off to Copacabana.

Once in Copacabana I was looking for my friend without success. I still had my $20 so I bought the $5 ticket to the island of the sun and about $5 of food. I knew I would be there two or three days and would then have to get a bus ticket back so I was doing it all based on pure faith.

FAITH IS POWERFUL.

On the hour boat ride to the island I managed to talk up a group of 4 people who were meeting the island for the first time themselves about the solstice and the importance of the work that needed to be done with it and how they could get involved if they wanted. I gave them enough information for them to rightfully be very excited about the timing the just managed to be going to The Island of the Sun. Two of them didn't even know it was the Solstice and none of them knew it was used by the Inca and Pre-Inca Empire for very important Solstice ceremonies.

I ended up hanging with them the first day, checking out a small portion of the island and graciously accepting their invitation to food and drink. During this time I had seen my friend Selva on the Island and she had gotten a cheap room at a hostel with an amazing view... well basically the entire island was an amazing view... but this one faced the rising sun so it seemed fit for the winter solstice, the birth of the new sun and new year in the birth place of the sun.

She paid for her room and the guy put my bag in a cheaper room under hers. We then went and decided to relax for the afternoon. It was the day before the solstice and I knew I would be up at 4 am the latest the next day so I was cool for relaxing.

As we were heading back to the hostel I saw the group of four I had been talking with on the boat. I decided to join them for diner, hey they invited me. Selva said she was tired and wanted to head back to the Hostel.

Diner turned into a few drinks and about 2 hours waiting for the food. By the time we had finished eating and talking it was well past midnight. On an island of such small population and tourism based around the ruins and spirituality... Everything was shut down.

I wasn't exactly sure what to do so I headed back to the Hostel Selva was at. The place was completely black but my room was open and my bags still there. No one seemed around and though I hadn't paid yet, I needed a place to sleep. I immediately feel into a deep sleep.

At probably quarter to four in the morning I woke up sharply. I had heard there was a temple of the sun on the south eastern side of the island and though I had not found it the day before, which would have been smart, I went out with a determination to begin the New Fire Ceremony for right before Sunrise in this Temple. Unfortunately I was mal informed and the Temple of the sun was actually on the completely other end of the Island but it made for some interesting events.

I found myself again, jumping 6 foot ledges in the dark, climbing walls to unknown property trying to find where I had thought I was told this temple was located. I continued for an hour and a half without any luck and the best place I found that most resembled a temple was actually someone's house. As I knew Sunrise was approaching I decided to just head down to the beach and get myself on the most eastern part of the island to do the fire... as I knew it had to be done with the rising sun.

Getting there I ended up finding an amazing cave which 'coincidentally' was basically directly below the mountain top where the natives did there fire ceremony to the rising solstice sun. I found this out later when I met with the four people who had listened to my wisdom on the boat and my advice about how they should do a fire ceremony for the rising solstice sun.

They had gone to the mountain top where I had showed them and linked up with a group of natives performing their ceremony and had a great time. As my purpose is to actually destroy all old methods of doing things to make space for new consciousness to enter our global collective I was being guided to avoid all the native ceremonies with all the works I was doing. I wasn't specifically intending it but I was following my heart intuition and like always with intuition... you understand the meaning and logic behind it afterward.

After I finished my fire ceremony I managed to climb up the mountain and end up right in the backyard of the Hostel I stayed at. No one seemed around so I quietly made my bed, gathered my things and left. I didn't feel too bad about not paying as I was there solely for the purpose of doing direct work for the Great Earth Mother.

In the Next addition I'll out line how to perform works for the earth to give her back energy that we as humans have been taking for too long and too much without the proper giving to match the taking.

Chile -more than twice the size of Arizona- is the home of beautiful girls : Daniela Benavente, Marianne Muller, Margot Montt, Lucia Santa Cruz, Kenita Larrain, Jenny Purtho Arap, Daniela Campos and Cecilia Bolocco. Already a folk hero in Chile, Cecilia Bolocco
became a legend when she won the Miss Universe pageant in 1987.Since 1990, Cecilia has been called "the most famous Miss Universe in the world". She has won the hearts of pageant fans from Mexico to Santiago. Who is she really?

Along with the writer Gabriela Mistral (Nobel Prize for Literature 1945), she's one of the most admired women in Chile. The second of four children in a working-class family of European descent, Cecilia Carolina Bolocco Fonck was born on May 19, 1965 to Enzo and Rose Marie Fonck de Bolocco. She studied civil engineering at the University of Santiago and then studied costume design at INCA-CEA Institute.

Renowned for her diplomatic skills and culture, Cecilia developed a passion for dance at very early age and became a professional dancer, winning many titles. She never lost her love for dancing. Her colleagues found her to be energetic and cooperative.

In the mid-1980s, she also worked as a professional model for magazines. Cecilia was one of Chile's most popular fashion models. She was approached by a Chilean journalist, who advised her to take up modelling. During this period of time, she suffered a tragedy when her brother Rodrigo died suddenly. This was a terrible experience for her, which marked she for ever.

On April 20, 1987 Cecilia was elected Miss Chile Universe in Santiago, succeeding Mariana Villasante, one of the most beautiful girls from South America. Like Barbara Palacios Teyde (Miss Venezuela and Miss South America-Universe), Christy Fichtner (Miss USA and Miss Texas) and Susanna Huckstep (Miss Italy and Miss Photogenic), Mariana was one of the favourites to win the Miss Universe title in Panama City.

Unlike Claudia van Sint Jan (Miss Chile 1985) and Mariana, Miss Chile 1987 competed at the Miss South America. Many of the delegates in each contest went on to their year's Miss Universe pageant. Before winning the Miss Universe pageant, Barbara Palacios, Miss Venezuela, won the Miss South America title in 1986. Unfortunately, Cecilia did not qualify for the semi-finals at the 1987 Miss South America in Cartagena, Colombia.Curiously, she also did not win any award. Patricia Arce Rocabado (Miss Bolivia) was Miss Photogenic and Maria Victoria Zangaro (Miss Uruguay) was Miss Congeniality.Then, she immediately travelled to Singapore City to take part in Miss Universe pageant.

On May 26, 1987 Cecilia was crowned Miss Universe in Singapore City. There were celebrations for Chile -from Arica to Chiloe-,after Cecilia Bolocco won the title. The 35th Miss Universe began with a spectacular opening ceremony at World Trade Center in front of thousands of spectators from Asia and other countries.Singapore is the smallest country ever to hold the Miss Universe pageant, with a size of 270 sq mi and a population of 4.5 million people. Egypt made its first appearance as a participating country at the Miss Universe. Miss Honduras, Francia Tatiana Reyes, had taken the award of Miss Amity and Miss Brazil, Jacqueline Ribeiro Meirelles, won the Best National Costume title.

For many reasons, Miss Colombia, Maria Patricia Lopez Ruiz, was considered to have a good chance to win the title.Patricia had won two international awards: Miss South America and Miss Photogenic.

There were 12 judges: Deborah Carthy-Deu (former Miss Puerto Rico and Miss Universe), Neil Hickey (American journalist), Jose Greco (Spanish dancer), David Niven Jr (American actor), Charlotte Rae Lubotsky (American actress and singer), Chu San Goh (choreographer from Asia), Peter Graves (American film and television actor), Paul-Louis Orrier (French fashion designer), Arnold Kopelson (American film producer), Nancy Dussault (American singer and actress), Yue-Sai Kan (Chinese-American entrepreneur), Isabel Sanford (American actress).

Unlike other Miss Universes from Latin America -Norma Beatriz Nolan, Barbara Palacios, Dayanara Torres, Amelia Vega-, Miss Chile 1987 did not have the support of judges from Latin America. Deborah Carthy-Deu had given her support to Laurie Tamara Simpson Rivera (Miss Puerto Rico 1987). Some countries have been benefited by having many judges. In the past century; Venezuela has had many judges in Miss Universe: Carolina Herrera (fashion designer/ 1984 & 1997), Irene Saez Conde (Miss Universe/ 1983 & 1995), Maria Conchita Alonso Bustillo (singer & actress/ 1993 & 1998), Lupita Ferrer (actress/1986), Jose Luis Rodriguez (singer/ 1991) and Barbara Palacios (Miss Universe/ 1988).

Certainly, Cecilia had won the title and the special admiration of the Asian public. The audience had all eyes on Chilean Cecilia. It was the first appearance for Chile in the finals. She wore a spectacular white gown designed by Ruben Campos.

From 1990 to 2005, she was an internationally famous Latin American entertainer. Cecilia is a two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist and producer.In 1993, Cecilia Bolocco was one of the hots at the Miss Universe in Mexico City. She said: "Really gives me great pride to be here..." Three years later, she was one of the members of the panel of judges of Miss Universe in Las Vegas, USA.

Until their separation in April 2007, Bolocco lived with her husband, Carlos Menem -ex president of Argentina-, whom she married in 2001,and their son, Maximo Saul Menem Bolocco, who was born in 2003, in Santiago (Chile). She met Menem in 1999 when she was a successful journalist After the marriage broke up, Cecilia became a fashion designer.

Cecilia Bolocco has emerged as a popular youth icon and, the Chile's sweetheart, with her every move followed by millions across Chile. She currently resides in Santiago.
