INTER CAMPIONI!!!


Eccolo, è lui, è bellissimo, è il secondo scudetto consecutivo, il quindicesimo della storia di F.C. Internazionale Milano.
Ora, guardandolo da vicino, accarezzandolo in questo dolce aprile insieme a un popolo di tifosi in festa, è veramente bello questo secondo scudetto di Massimo Moratti, nato e cresciuto sotto la stella di Giacinto Facchetti, che in questi strepitanti momenti di felicità e di orgoglio nerazzurro ci manca ancora di più, ci mancherà sempre di più.

Questo è il titolo di campioni d'Italia 2006-2007 che nessuno è riuscito a staccare dalla maglia di Roberto Mancini, da quelle dei nostri bravissimi campioni che hanno autografato un Campionato da record, vincendo contro tutto e tutti, persino ogni partita a distanza contro il luogo comune distorto di un torneo facile. Non è mai facile stabilire o eguagliare record nello sport, come invece sono stati stabiliti ed eguagliati da una squadra costruita con passione e competenza, gestita con attenzione, guidata a testa alta, onorata in ogni allenamento, prima ancora che in tutte le partite, da un gruppo che aveva fissato un appuntamento ed è arrivato in largo anticipo sotto lo striscione del traguardo accompagnato dalla professionalità e dalla disponibilità dei moltissimi che hanno lavorato dietro le quinte, in sede, ad Appiano Gentile, allo stadio o al Settore Giovanile, al sito ufficiale come a Inter Channel o alla rivista. Tutti insieme, tutti qui, a braccia alte, insieme con milioni di straordinari tifosi: a Milano, che è la nostra città, come in ogni angolo del mondo, il nostro mondo nato quasi cento anni fa da un atto di ribellione, da un'idea geniale, dalla voglia di essere quello che altri non saranno mai.

Alzate il volume, fatevi sentire, c'è una gioia da urlare con rispetto e fantasia, con la nostra bandiera da sventolare sotto il cielo: l'Inter ha vinto lo scudetto, il secondo consecutivo. È la storia che lo ripete insieme con noi, è questa la storia che potremo raccontare ai cuori nerazzurri del futuro, come a noi hanno fatto sognare le leggende dell'Inter di Alfredo Foni (1952-1953 e 1953-1954) e della Grande Inter di Angelo Moratti ed Helenio Herrera (1964-1965 e 1965-1966).

Milano, 22 aprile 2007: l'Inter è Campione d'Italia. È la realtà il nostro sogno.

(inter.it)



MILANO, 22 aprile 2007 - L'Inter è campione d'Italia. Per la quindicesima volta nella sua storia. Uno scudetto conquistato con cinque giornate di anticipo, con una sola sconfitta. Lo scudetto dei record. Come e più di quello del 1988-89, l'ultimo tricolore conquistato sul campo. Prima di quello dell'anno scorso, arrivato a tavolino. Un dominio assoluto. Il cielo è nerazzurro.
È lo scudetto di Massimo Moratti. Presidente, magnate, papà nerazzurro. Ma soprattutto tifoso. Ha speso tanto, dal 1995. Soldi, emozioni. Tutto per arrivare alle 16.45 di stasera, al triplice fischio finale di Siena-Inter. Per godersi un trionfo strameritato. Perchè chi ha sofferto tanto sa gustare più profondamente la vittoria. Per guardare tutti dall'alto. Per vedere San Siro vestito di nerazzurro. Per continuare la tradizione familiare di successi.
È lo scudetto di Roberto Mancini. Un passato da grande giocatore. Un presente da grande allenatore. Invidiato. Discusso. Ma capace di vincere, anzi di stravincere, e di farlo con il gioco sempre come filo conduttore. Forte nel gestire un gruppo di tanti campioni, ma capace di tendere la mano a chi ha sbagliato (vero Adriano?) senza anteporre l'orgoglio al buon senso. Forte delle proprie idee. Capace di parlare senza dover per forza usare il "politichese".
È lo scudetto dei giocatori. Perchè in campo ci vanno loro. E quindi merito alla vecchia guardia, a Zanetti, a Materazzi, che in campo ci hanno messo l'esempio, e fuori la faccia. E non da oggi. Merito ai nuovi acquisti, decisivi per compiere il salto di qualità. Alle sorprese come Maicon, alle conferme come Vieira, e al campione consacrato in nerazzurro. Indovinato: parliamo di Ibrahimovic. Talento cristallino diventato continuo, genio che ha saputo ridurre la sregolatezza, attaccante illuminato diventato spietato goleador.
È lo scudetto dei tifosi. Innamorati. A prescindere. Nelle gioie e nei (passati) dolori. Si sono cementati nelle delusioni, sfogati in pomeriggi e serate amare. È l'ora del riscatto. Della liberazione. Dell'orgoglio. Della gioia sfrenata. Perchè è scudetto. Perchè per loro nerazzurro è sempre stato sinonimo di bello. Ma da stasera lo è ancora di più. C'è più gusto ad essere interisti.

Rueda de Casino

Thanks to the defined structure of Casino, appeared the popular Rueda de Casino, a type of choreography in circle form that is made by several pairs of dancers, guided by a leader who "sings" the movements.....



In order to speak of the antecedents of the Rueda de Casino it is necessary to go back to the reign of Luis XIV in France where the first ballets first appeared. As of that moment they instituted "ballets de corte". In order to have a good title it was necessary to know certain choreographies that were performed in the celebrations of the nobility. Clear examples: the Minuet and the Contradanzas.



In the XVIII century, with the presence of French fleets in the bay of Havana, the arrival of emigrants of Louisiana, New Orleans and fundamentally the French emigration coming from Haiti with the 1791 revolution produced the appearance in Cuba of the French Contradanzas and derived from this the Cuban Contradanza arises. The court of Luis XIV, the Creole aristocracy, Spanish and including the town interpreted the dance with pre-planned figures that all had to know and directed by a bastonero.



There have been contradiction between the informants of the place where casino fist appeared. Some say that it first appeared in the Spanish Casino, Grammar school of Havana, the Patricio Lumumba and others say in the Sport Casino; what is true is that it expanded throughout the capital.



Rueda de Casino became a national phenomenon after Rosendo, choreographer and dancer of the “Ballet de la Televisión Cubana”, presented it in the televising program Para Bailar in 1980.



In orde to make a Rueda, there must be at least two couples, a leader, and that all " men " know the figures that he is going to sing. It is deduced, that the sprouting of the wheel has a social and group character. Rueda de Casino is done between friends and its main intention is diversion. Although, when acquiring the ability to dance in a Rueda, the competition starts between Ruedas and dancers: " The one that makes a mistake gets out of the Rueda " this constitutes diversion with a certain sense of responsibility.



If one is dancing Rueda for diversion, it does not matter, generally, if you are make a mistake, you do not know what "they sing", or if you invent a turn to solve the situation. It is very common to make a Rueda de Casino in private parties, meetings with friends, and, of ourse, in the dance floors.



The second case: the competitions between Ruedas, more typical in the dance floors where each group prepares its Rueda and its calls. The peculiar thing is that after they danced, they were their own judges.



The third case " The one that loses leaves ", as its name says, the leader calls and tries to deceive the dancers so that they lose, if they make a mistake they leave along their partner, or if the leader makes a mistake when calling "out of time", he also leaves and is replaced by other leader.



In order to dance in a Rueda it is necessary to ask permission to the leader, he can approve it or not since this is a group manifestation. Another " democratic" way to disapprove the entrance of another couple is declaring " The one that loses leaves ". This consists of letting the couple enter and immediately singing a move that is only known by the group, evidently the unliked pair makes a mistaken and leaves.



The graduation of a casino dancer is to learn the Rueda. Therefore, in order to dance, it is necessary to first dominate casino. It is true to say then that if the couple dominate casino perfectly, they could dance Rueda de Casino with their eyes closed.



In the Rueda, the figures are executed by the men and the women constitute the base. The women maintain the circular structure and the rythm and the men do the "piruetas (turns)", the changes and the improvisations.



A Rueda de Casino is good not necessarily if the dancers are making complicated turns, but it depends on the skill of the leader. A leader must "sing" the Rueda with grace, creativity, respecting the times and continuity, because it would be possible to be turned into a disorganized Rueda for the dancers as for the spectators. A good leader is able to create figures in the moment and is able to precisely communicate them to the other dancers. Also a good leader adorns the calls with a phrase, Ex: "Oye ella te quiere apretar, pero tu le dices que no".



If the Rueda has too many couples, it is possible to make a Rueda inside a Rueda. But, above all, with or without a strict organization of a Rueda, remember that the entire purpose of the Rueda is to have fun with your friends.



The following are some examples of Rueda calls: Setenta, Panque, Evelyn, Enchufla, BeBe, and much, much more.

Easter Thoughts

It's Easter - the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A time to meditate and question what you really believe in.



I might be called a skeptic. I stopped believing in a great and good God when my mother died. I could not understand at the moment, and still cannot understand, why she was not saved. My mother was a very good person, she was sweet, and tolerant, and always lived her life trying to make things better for the people around her. She was the best friend anyone could ever want, the best daughter, sister, wife, and of course, mother. Unfortunately, I haven't' really appreciated her for what she deserved, and this is my only regret in life up to now. And she was a very good doctor. She always placed herself last, and put her own needs and wants in a box, waiting there until she helped all others.



This is why I cannot understand why she had to die. Why do murderers, rapers, and other bad people live, while good people die? If there is a God, and if that God is good, why does He allow for this to happen?



I was talking to a friend of mine, who is quite religious, and told him I don't really believe in God. He told me... "But you have to believe in something!" Yes, I believe in humans. I believe in the power of men to change everything. Why do people have to believe in something supernatural, in an entity with such great power, that It can make and unmake the world? We live in the 21st century and science has already contradicted so many of the things the Bible states. So, why 99% of the people in this world still think we do not have the power to rule ourselves? Why do we still have wars led by religion? Are we so afraid of taking it all on us, that we have to blame a higher entity, be it God (or Allah, Buddha,...) or the Devil? Why do we NEED to believe in something? Why are there still people in this world who look at you as if you were the antichrist, if you tell them you are an atheist?



I said I was a skeptic. Maybe I am the worse kind. I don't know where I'm standing. On one hand, I think that the world is a result of particles interacting with each other, and men don't have an immortal soul and once they die, they become part of that particle movement. On the other hand, I sometimes believe there is a God, and I find myself praying. I do have a personal vendetta with divinity, because of the reasons I stated at the beginning. And I admit, christianity is not giving me the answers I am looking for. I will never agree with the statement "believe, do not search"; in my opinion, this is a way for the Church to control the masses. But, in the same time, real world and science are not providing all the answers either.



I am still searching. I hate being persuaded to adopt either of the two ways, but I'd rather accept the realistic, material philosophy, than the spiritual one. I am not trying to convince other people either. I think it's stupid for someone to try to persuade another on accepting his/her way of thinking. But my desire is to see people actually questioning what they are believing in, and not just accepting religion because this is the way, this is what they were told to by their families, or this is what the society is living by.

Vivir sin aire - Maná

Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin aire...
Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin agua...
Me encantaría quererte un poco menos.
Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin ti.

Pero no puedo, siento que muero,
me estoy ahogando sin tu amor.

Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin aire.
Cómo quisiera calmar mi aflicción.
Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin agua.
Me encantaría robar tu corazón.

¿Cómo pudiera un pez nadar sin agua?
¿Cómo pudiera un ave volar sin alas?
¿Cómo pudiera la flor crecer sin tierra?
Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin ti. Oh No


Pero no puedo, siento que muero,
me estoy ahogando sin tu amor.

Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin aire.
Cómo quisiera calmar mi aflicción.
Cómo quisiera poder vivir sin agua.
Me encantaría robar tu corazón.

Cómo quisiera lanzarte al olvido.
Cómo quisiera guardarte en un cajón.
Cómo quisiera borrarte de un soplido.
Me encantaría matar esta canción.

Adoro

Adoro la calle en que nos vimos,
la noche cuando nos conocimos.
Adoro las cosas que me dices,
nuestros ratos felices,
los adoro, vida mía.
Adoro la forma en que sonríes,
y el modo, en que a veces me ríes,
adoro, la seda de tus manos,
los besos que nos damos,
los adoro vida mía.
Y me muero por tenerte junto a mí,
cerca, muy cerca de mí,
no separarme de ti,
y es que eres mi existencia, mi sentir,
eres mi luna, eres mi sol,
eres mi noche de amor.
Adoro, el brillo de tus ojos,
lo dulce que hay en tus labios rojos.
Adoro, la forma en que me miras,
y hasta cuando suspiras,
yo te adoro, vida mía

(Armando Manzanero - Adoro)

Há dois anos...

Há dois anos, tudo começou com um beijo. Hoje, o aniversário é um pouco triste... Mas não posso não sorrir, quando penso em todos os momentos felizes que passamos juntos. Lembra uma coisa só: você é a minha vida, e nada mais tem importância se você nâo está nela.








Podrá nublarse el sol eternamente;
Podrá secarse en un instante el mar;
Podrá romperse el eje de la tierra
Como un débil cristal.
¡Todo sucederá! Podrá la muerte
Cubrirme con su fúnebre crespón;
Pero jamás en mí podrá apagarse
La llama de tu amor.
(Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer - Amor Eterno)

Es hielo abrasador, es fuego helado,
es herida que duele y no se siente,
es un soñado bien, un mal presente,
es un breve descanso muy cansado.
Es un descuido que nos da cuidado,
un cobarde con nombre de valiente,
un andar solitario entre la gente,
un amar solamente ser amado.
Es una libertad encarcelada,
que dura hasta el postrero paroxismo;
enfermedad que crece si es curada.
Éste es el niño Amor, éste es su abismo.
¿Mirad cuál amistad tendrá con nada
el que en todo es contrario de sí mismo!
(Francisco de Quevedo - Definición del Amor)

Desmayarse, atreverse, estar furioso,
áspero, tierno, liberal, esquivo,
alentado, mortal, difunto, vivo,
leal, traidor, cobarde y animoso;

no hallar fuera del bien centro y reposo,
mostrarse alegre, triste, humilde, altivo,
enojado, valiente, fugitivo,
satisfecho, ofendido, receloso;

huir el rostro al claro desengaño,
beber veneno por licor süave,
olvidar el provecho, amar el daño;

creer que un cielo en un infierno cabe,
dar la vida y el alma a un desengaño;
esto es amor, quien lo probó lo sabe.
(Lope de Vega)

Dime por favor donde estás,
en que rincón puedo no verte,
dónde puedo dormir sin recordarte
y dónde recordar sin que me duela.

Dime por favor dónde pueda caminar
sin ver tus huellas,
dónde puedo correr sin recordarte
y dónde descansar con mi tristeza.

Dime por favor cuál es el cielo
que no tiene el calor de tu mirada
y cuál es el sol que tiene luz tan sólo
y no la sensación de que me llamas.

Dime por favor cuál es el rincón
en el que no dejaste tu presencia.
Dime por favor cual es el hueco de mi almohada
que no tiene escondidos tus recuerdos.

Dime por favor cuál es la noche
en que no vendrás para velar mis sueños...
Que no puedo vivir porque te extraño
y no puedo morir porque te quiero.
(Jorge Luis Borges - Dime)

Salsa

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.


Salsa is not easily defined! Who invented salsa? The Cubans, Puerto Ricans? Salsa is a distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. Each played a large part in its evolution.Salsa is similar to Mambo in that both have a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. The dances share many of the same moves. In Salsa, turns have become an important feature, so the overall look and feel are quite different form those of Mambo. Mambo moves generally forward and backward, whereas, Salsa has more of a side to side feel.

There are 3 styles of Salsa in vogue today: LA Style, Mambo(aka New York Style) and Cuban.

LA Style and Mambo involve the follower (generally the female) traveling in a straight line while the leader steps out of the way. The difference between the two is in which beat of the bar is emphasized... LA Style is also referred to as "On the 1" because the dance emphasizes the 1st beat in the bar. Mambo is also referred to as "On the 2" because the dance emphasizes the 2nd beat in the bar.

Cuban style involves the follower and the leader traveling in circular paths around one another. It can be slightly easier because it is not so demanding in terms of tempo. One variation is known as La Rueda or Casino. In English, La Rueda translates as "The Wheel". La Rueda requires more than one couple dancing in a circle together. One of the dancers calls moves out, some of which involve changing partners.

A look at the origin of Salsa
By: Jaime Andrés Pretell

It is not only Cuban; nevertheless we must give credit to Cuba for the origin and ancestry of creation. It is here where Contra-Danze (Country Dance) of England/France, later called Danzón, which was brought by the French who fled from Haiti, begins to mix itself with Rhumbas of African origin (Guaguanco, Colombia, Yambú). Add Són of the Cuban people, which was a mixture of the Spanish troubadour (sonero) and the African drumbeats and flavora and a partner dance flowered to the beat of the clave.

This syncretism also occurred in smaller degrees and with variations in other countries like the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Puerto Rico, among others. Bands of these countries took their music to Mexico City in the era of the famous films of that country (Perez Prado, most famous...). Shortly after, a similar movement to New York occurred. In these two cities, more promotion and syncretism occurred and more commercial music was generated because there was more investment. New York created the term "Salsa", but it did not create the dance. The term became popular as nickname to refer to a variety of different music, from several countries of Hispanic influence: Rhumba, Són Montuno, Guaracha, Mambo, Cha cha cha, Danzón, Són, Guguanco, Cubop, Guajira, Charanga, Cumbia, Plena, Bomba, Festejo, Merengue, among others. Many of these have maintained their individuality and many were mixed creating "Salsa".

If you are listening to today's Salsa, you are going to find the base of són, and you are going to hear Cumbia, and you are going to hear Guaracha. You will also hear some old Merengue, built-in the rhythm of different songs. You will hear many of the old styles somewhere within the modern beats. Salsa varies from site to site. In New York, for example, new instrumentalization and extra percussion were added to some Colombian songs so that New Yorkers - that dance mambo "on the two" - can feel comfortable dancing to the rhythm and beat of the song, because the original arrangement is not one they easily recognize. This is called "finishing," to enter the local market. This "finish" does not occur because the Colombian does not play Salsa, but it does not play to the rhythm of the Puerto Rican/Post-Cuban Salsa. I say Post-Cuban, because the music of Cuba has evolved towards another new and equally flavorful sound.

Then, as a tree, Salsa has many roots and many branches, but one trunk that unites us all. The important thing is that Salsa is played throughout the Hispanic world and has received influences of many places within it. It is of all of us and it is a sample of our flexibility and evolution. If you think that a single place can take the credit for the existence of Salsa, you are wrong. And if you think that one style of dance is better, imagine that the best dancer of a style, without his partner, goes to dance with whomever he can find, in a club where a different style predominates. He wouldn't look as good as the locals. Each dancer is accustomed to dance his/her own style. None is better, only different.

¡¡¡Viva la variedad, ¡¡¡Viva la Salsa!!!

Another Good Week-end

I'm writing about them because they happen so seldom...



It started on Friday. Short day at work, I had some overtime, so I left at 5. I went straight to Sala Palatului, where Rafagá's concert was happening. Nice guys The concert was great, they communicated very well with the public, and sang all of their hits ("Mentirosa", "Chiquilina", "Baila Morena", "Luna"...) and some nice songs from the new album. I loved it (except the opening, with Mandinga, who, as always, sucked... and they call that salsa...). Anyways, it was the perfect start, an hour with Argentine cumbia put me in the mood for more!

Which led to... to... Salsa! Of course A colleague of mine said that I can be characterized in one word... "salsa". So, that's where I went afterwards. Let me tell you I have never seen so many Let's Dancers in Salsa 3 as there were on Friday. Of course, pictures were mandatory, and I've had a great time. My dance partner made a short appearance, but I spent most of my time (and dances) with the 2 guys from the photos in the previous blog. Cute, right? One of them will be my partner for the intermediates' class (so more good news for me, I can't wait for the class to start. For a few weeks I'll have 4 days a week going to dance ).

And then on Saturday morning a left in another team building, this time with my co-workers, at Baile Olanesti. It was really nice spending time with them outside work, and I think everything turned out ok, although I feared they wouldn't. Today, back to work. And some really bad news, I hadn't really expected. But there was also something that made me forget about everything. I had a really nice surprise this evening, and I want to thank that person. You know what?... Sometimes, a flower CAN make the spring come .

Lets Dance@Moieciu

Best week-end possible!!! Yeah, I've been down for the last month. I went through something really bad and still haven't recovered, but I'm starting to feel better now. Anyways, I was talking about my week-end.

I went in a team building with the dance school, at Moieciu, a beautiful resort in the mountains, near Brasov. It was perfect. The weather was great, the company was great, and I danced away all my bad feelings, all my fears, all my anger. Yes, dancing is as much a therapy as it is pleasure. I love dancing, but this time, it was more than this, and I'm grateful that it somewhat helped me to leave everything behind.

We went to the National Dance Competition in Brasov and I was literally speechless.. I told you I looove dancing! They were all so great, from the 6-year old to the seniors! My god! I wish my parents would have thought about sending me to dance when I was little. But I'm doing it now, so it's ok.

Anyways, the week-end was fantastic, I spent some time with some very nice people, we went to the Bran Castle, I danced until 6 in the morning, everything from salsa and merengue to waltz and tango. Thanks, guys! Without knowing it, you made me forget all about my problems.

Carnaval 2007 (2)

Beija-Flor campeã! That means, the Beija-Flor samba school won the 2007 Carnaval in Rio de Janiero. I told you it is my favorite school . It's the school's 10th title.



This year's parade had the name "Áfricas: Do Berço Real à Corte Brasiliana" ("Africa: From the Royal Cradle to the Brazilian Court") and it a tribute to Africa. With this theme, the school took the title they had lost the last year in favor of those from Vila Isabel.

It was not only celebrating Africa, but reaffirming the genetic legacy it gave to the Brazilian people. It was a tribute to all those people who refused to bow before the horrors of the slavery, and who kept their customs, religion, and identity. It was the most expensive carnival in the history of Beija-Flor, and the results were impressive. It was a luxurious parade, involving more than 4000 people. The battery queen, Raissa de Oliveira, is only 16 years old, but still had a great performance (she has been "rainha da bateria" of the Beija-Flor since she was 11 years old - the youngest ever, and performing for the school since she was 5).

Here's the samba-enredo that won the competition:


Olodumaré, o Deus maior, o Rei Senhor
Olorum derrama a sua alteza na Beija-Flor
Oh! Majestade negra, Oh! Mãe da liberdade
África: O baobá da vida Ilê Ifé
Áfricas:Realidade e realeza, axé
Calunga cruzou o mar
Nobreza a desembarcar na Bahia
A fé nagô-yorubá,
Um canto pro meu orixá tem magia
Machado de Xangô, Cajado de Oxalá
Ogum yê, o onirê, ele é Odara



É jeje, é jeje, é querebentã
A luz que vem de Daomé, reino de Dan
Arte e cultura casa da mina
Quanta bravura negra divina



Zumbi é rei
Jamais se entregou, rei guardião
Palmares hei de ver pulsando em cada coração
Galanga pó de ouro e a remissão enfim
Maracatu chegou rainha ginga
Gamboa, a pequena África de Obá
Da Pedra do Sal viu despontar a Cidade do Samba
Então dobre o run
Pra Ciata d`Oxum imortal
Soberana do meu carnaval na princesa nilopolitana
Agoye o mundo deve o perdão
A quem sangrou pela história
Áfricas de luta e de glória



Sou quilombola Beija-Flor
Sangue de rei, comunidade
Obatalá anunciou
Já raiou o sol da liberdade
