My way. Frank Sinatra


And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I"ll state my case, of which I"m certain.

I"ve lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

I´d like to send a rosa to each one of the ladies.














And I´d like to rise my glass with all the participants to say thank you to
the moderators, co-moderators and all the people who made it possibly








And I´d like to invite all of you to share a piece of cake.

Tell him. Barbra - Celine



I´m scared, so affraid to show I care,
will he think me weak, if I tremble when I speak.
Oh, what if there´s another one he´s thinking of
maybe he´s in love, I´d feel like a fool
life can be so cruel, I don´t know what to do.
I´ve been there with my heart out in my hand
but what you must understand you can´t let the chance
to love him pass you by.
Should I tell him.
Tell him that the sun and moon rise in his eyes
reach out to him, and whisper tender words so soft and sweet
hold him close to feel his heart beat.
Love will be the gift you give yourself.
Touch him with the gentleness you feel inside,
your love can´t be denied the truth will set you free
you´ll have what´s meant to be all in time you´ll see
I love him of that much I can be sure,
I don´t think I could endure if I let him walk away
when I have so much to say.
Love is light that surely glows in the hearts of those who know
it´s a steady flame that grows.
Feed the fire with all the passion you can show.
Tonight love will assume its place,
this memory time cannot erase
your faith will lead love where it has to go
never let him go.

Caribbean Baseball World Series


The CBWS was the brainchild of the Venezuelans Oscar "El Negro" Prieto and Pablo Morales, who devised the idea after the seeing the success of the Serie Interamericana (Inter-American Series) in 1946, which featured the Sultanes de Monterrey from Mexico; the All Cubans from Cuba; the Brooklyn Bushwicks from the United States; and Cervecería Caracas from Venezuela. The Bushwicks won each year from 1946 to 1949, but Cervecería Caracas won the final Serie Interamericana in 1950.
Inspired by the Serie Interamericana, Prieto and Morales presented their idea for a CBWS to a
Confederación de Béisbol del Caribe (CBC, Baseball Confederation of the Caribbean in English) conference in Miami in late 1948. Cuba agreed to host the first series, which would feature the top team from each of the CBC member nations — Cuba, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela — in a six-day series of doubleheader games to determine the winner.
The series ran annually from 1949 to
1960, with Cuba winning seven times. However, the CBWS was cancelled after Fidel Castro dissolved all professional baseball in Cuba in 1961, replacing the professional teams with a state-run amateur system. It wouldn't be until 1970 that the CBWS was revived.
The Series, which usually is played over six days, usually features up to six games per team, although some series have had games cut from or added to the schedule. The winner of the series is the team with the most wins after each team play six games.
