United beat Sparta Prague 4-1 in a Champions League Group D match at Old Trafford early Thursday morning. (Reports: BBC, Soccernet, Guardian, ManUtd.com, minute-by-minute.)
The match wasn’t as one sided as the scoreline would suggest because Sparta had as many opportunities to score as United did. Indeed, the two teams carved out at least six chances between them in the first 10 minutes of the match and Ferguson pointed out it could have been 4-4 at the 20 minute mark.
In the end, the difference between the two teams came down to just one thing: the predatory instincts of Ruud van Nistelrooy. He scored all four of United’s goals to remind everyone why he’s the best penalty box poacher around. He may have been a tad fortunate — his first goal was practically gifted to him by an inattentive Sparta defender and his fourth was clearly offside — but it was abundantly clear why Ferguson hailed him as the most clinical finisher he’s seen at Old Trafford.

To update my earlier entry on Ad-Aware, Lavasoft is ending its support for Ad-Aware 6 this week and urging users to migrate to Ad-Aware SE.
Thankfully, Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition remains free and I installed it earlier after uninstalling Ad-Aware 6. The installation went without a hitch although I did have some difficulty updating the definitions list on my first attempt — the web update tool froze after 5 per cent — but I managed to get the latest definitions (SE1R16 28.10.2004, fact fans) upon retrying.

This scene from Dekaranger episode 19 is yet another reason why the show cracks me up:
You generally don’t see that many references to breast sizes in Western kiddie shows.

The Democrats and the anti-Bush league are still pinning their hopes on Ohio but from where I sit, the US has decided. Even in the unlikely event Kerry does take Ohio, he’s going to go head to head against a Republican-controlled Congress and Senate without the benefit of a majority of the popular vote.
The anti-US hatemongers must be delighted that their poster boy is back for four more years of demonisation.
Four more years for the poor, poor Iraqi civilians.
Four more years of soldiers slain for a war based on disproven claims.
Looking on the bright side, at least one good guy won. (His inaugural speech.)
