This is someone who knows ... Man United Can Beat 'Dream' Real, Says Wenger LONDON COLNEY, England (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is backing arch-rivals Manchester United to beat Real Madrid and qualify for the Champions League semi-finals. United were beaten 3-1 in Tuesday's quarter-final first leg at the Bernabeu after a mesmerizing performance by their Spanish hosts in the opening 45 minutes. "They were special," Wenger told reporters on Friday. "But I still think Manchester United can beat them at home because they looked very vulnerable defensively. "When United had a real go at them, they looked vulnerable at the back. The difficult part of the task is to stop them scoring a goal." The Arsenal boss admired Real's start to the game as the holders, inspired by Wenger's compatriot Zinedine Zidane, skillfully unknitted United's packed defense. "Some of the football Real Madrid played in the first half was just a dream," Wenger said. "It looked like even when you have 10 men at the back, they just pass it in a relaxed and calm way...they don't get out of first gear, but they still create the chance. And that's top quality." Asked if he wanted United to win the second leg at Old Trafford on April 23, Wenger said: "I want English teams to do well, of course." But he also acknowledged that with United and Arsenal on 67 points each at the top of the premier league, with six games left, an extra distraction for United in Europe would not harm his own team's chances retaining their title. --------------------------------------------------------- Need to add they have to play each other ...

This weekend: Real Sociedad hosts Real Madrid ... could be a pretty defining game for La Liga ... Also it is the Milan derby ... AC Milan - Inter ...

This is soooo sad ... I just hope all of us who care about music will keep on sending their faxes and expressing our opinion ... and being a little bit more active in our political environment ... For example ... copy paste Dave's post and e-mail to friends ... it takes all of us who care to take action ... "Union makes strength" ...

"Clubhoppers: Are all of your relationships with fellow deejays at other clubs very amiable or is there a bit of friendly competition between you and the other locals? Ivano Bellini: I've been djing in Miami for 11 years so I know most of the Djs around here and most of them are good friends and we hang out when we're not playing. I don't think there's a competition with the ones that have regular gigs or residencies but obviously there will always be a few jealous ones trying to make a name for themselves and who will be looking to push you out and take your place. It comes with the territory." I call it free competition ... To give Ivano some of the recognition he could deserve ... we have sent him twice in the past two months down to Central America ... he packed both clubs ... only last Friday was the second time ... He layed down the ground for our promoters there to believe in bringing down DJs ... a month after Ivano played in Guatemala ... the same promoters took the chance and brought down Sasha last week His sounds are too commercial for some of us music heads ... but the easiness of his beats brings awareness to house music on the less knowledgeable ... and like it or not ... he is opening markets for other Djs ... Same doors will open for other Djs in Miami ... at the right time ...

Saleen knows ...

Just wondering ... http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/americas/04/11/cuba.execution/index.html :confused:

As bad as the tie in Glasgow was for Celtic ... I believe they can still manage to get to the final ... Larsson missed a penalty and the Boavista goal was an own-goal ... Sad note for Celtic thou is that the game with Rangers will be only three days after the return leg in Lisbon ... Should Porto and Boavista reach the final ... would be the first ever all portuguese European final ...

I agree with you Shroomy ... plus the fact of you having been in some of the countries where the US had no alternative but to take action gives you a direct experience ... The countries that worry me the most are western and ex-socialist countries ... where the access to alternative media and their knowledge of the outerworld is similar to ours ... examples Western and Eastern Europe, China, Rusia, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, India, Pakistan, Arab countries ... It is obvious that manipulation of public opinion is easier in third world countries ... still ... those media are a reflexion of the positions of political parties when it comes to politics ... In Africa ... until only forty years ago ... they were mostly colonies from Western European countries ... hence their distrust ... we had gone thru WWII and all the atrocities to humankind ... and still Africa was mostly colonized ... BTW part of maintaining a colony under control was denying education ... hence the term "intelligentsia" to describe the educated thinkers expressing their voices for taking action and achieving not freedom ... but independence ... The main point of distrust in the Arab world came precisely after the Gulf War ... when the Western countries, including the US ... forgot to address a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict ... There are voices ... like Rumsfeld's comments on Syria ... (I believe they are called "neo-conservatives") ... who want to see the US take on Syria ... Lebanon ... even Iran ... this from CNN last nite ... The world is waiting to see how the transfer of power ... in US's hands right now ... is shifted to a UN led commission ... this will demonstrate to them the intentionality of the military actions ... in the meantime ... Germany, Russia and France are talking ... It scares me that less than a week ago ... our top officials were in discrepancy in terms of how we would manage post-war Iraq ... we went into Iraq and we ... the nation ... still had no clear view of what would be done ... because there was a power struggle still between our leaders ... this proves the unnecessary rush to go in on March 19th ... Believe me ... we have already rearranged world order with this war by the unilateral character of it ... could it be in our best interest in the long run? ... I doubt it ... but obviously I could be wrong ... www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/11/sprj.irq.stpetersburg/index.html

Props to LP ... James Zabiela kicks some arse ... however LP wants to move DJs around will work ... :D

There are a few reflexions which hum in my head ... and I'll try to simplify them ... We try to expand democracy thru out the world ... capitalism is a given ... During the Cold War it was capitalism what we pushed ... not necessarily democracy ... back then dictators ... and specially military dictators were supported because it was a way to keep capitalism working in those countries ... and avoid the expansion of socialism/communism ... Democracy involves the freedom to elect by the majority ... In the civilized world we live ... all countries have the right to express their position ... the democratic forum was and should have been the UN ... Many countries had an opposition to the war because they are democracies ... their leaders have to hear public opinion ... and even if it is not in the nations immediate best interest ... they have to settle down with it ... This happens because in every democracy in the world there are many political parties ... convergence and negotiation is the only realistic way for governments to get political support ... IT IS SO COMPLEX TO UNDERSTAND IN A BI-PARTISAN POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT LIKE THE ONE WE LIVE HERE, NEVERTHELESS IT IS THE WAY EVERY DEMOCRACY IN THE REST OF THE WORLD WORKS, IT IS CALLED PLURALISM OF POLITICAL PARTIES ... It is far more complex to understand each country's political reality ... the easiest example is Britain and Tony Blair's difficulty to gain support for the war ... remember ... that is the reason why the US went to the UN for the resolution ... BTW ... Britain is not part of the EU ... it is part of NATO ... hence the need to keep supporting the US ... we are their only close ally ... During the Cold War ... we did everything to keep capitalism alive ... we still do ... and it is a given in most of the world ... with only a handful of exceptions ... As some of us proposed ... especially at the beginning of this war ... lets sabotage French products ... we even had lists of products ... it is our right ... Have we thought of the views citizens in other nations have of our unilateral use of force? ... we can say we don't give a s**t ... but ... Have we thought that citizens of other nations have the right to sabotage products made in the USA? ... or at least being US brands? ... The balance of trade (exports minus imports) has a deficit ... we import more than we export ... Still ... exports are a huge part of our economy ... in terms of jobs .. I never doubted about our militarily strength or superiority ... I just would like to see our leaders with the capacity to converge other nations to our goals ... not distance ourselves ... The result of this war was a given ... the trust in our actions ... specially being the world power has generated distrust and animosity in many nations across the globe ... our own "strong" position was miscalculated and didn't leave much space for leaders in the rest of the world to turn public opinion in their favor ... and hence support us ... Our strength comes from our political system and from our economy ... without trade ... and this is why we push for free trade zones ... any economy shrinks considerably ... there are far less jobs ... hence less money for: military ... retirement ... health ... education ... Lets take this mistake in foreign policy as an example of what we shouldn't do ... we posses all the tools to find a convergence ... defiance is disrespect and generates distrust ... to America ... to their leaders ... and unfortunately to their people ... And when I say mistake ... I refer to not getting the kind of international coallition Bush father had during the Gulf War ... I forecast a long period of distrust to our actions ... to our intentions ... something we didn't need ... Now comes the most difficult part ... something we won't be able to do with CNN, ABC or FOX ...

Bump ... thank God you are "back in action" ...
