And as we celebrate his brilliance...and when you talk to Boris Diaw, what a classical human being he is...It was 201 years ago today...that Beethovens Symphony No. 3 in E flat, which escorted in the Age of Romanticism in music...And when I look at Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the Romantics. This guy has got it all.

Israel population is 73.6% Jewish. And 13.6% is Haredi, the ultra orthodox sect that is the main driver of the Bibi Far Right coalition.

Welcome. The last half a million newbies here have been spambots, so this is refreshing.
Huey Lewis or Hoagy Carmichael inspired? Or neither, just a catchphrase to underscore diversity, perhaps. Anyway the Hoagy has the classic do wop progression, 1 6 4 5, which is pretty earwormy. AKA C Am F G to all those budding piano players.
Speaking of earworms, I spent a substantial portion of last week dealing with a company named Heart and Soul. So...

But those early gains have given way to a grinding struggle against an adaptable insurgency - and a growing feeling among many Israelis that their military faces only bad options, drawing comparisons with U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
