It is rare indeed when a person writes a book whose aim is to help in the destruction of the state he is living in. But this is Shlomo Sand's self- proclaimed aim. He has written this book in order to delegitimize Israel, the Jewish people's claim to a state of their own. There is presently a world-wide campaign to delegitimize Israel as prelude to destroying the Jewish state. Just as Yassir Arafat in rejecting peace with Israel in September 2000 claimed that the existence of two Jewish temples in Jerusalem was a 'myth' and that Jews in fact had no real history in Jerusalem, so Sand claims that the Jewish people itself is a 'myth'.
In making this claims Israeli historian Israel Bartal claims that Sand uses misleading citations, shows disrepect for historical details and shows a 'slippery tendency to present extreme theories as though they reflect the scholarly consensus'. One of the most distinguished of historians of Jewish modernity Anita Shapira of Tel Aviv University found something warped and objectionable in the assumption that for Jews to integrate into the Middle East they, and they alone of all the peoples in the region, must shed their national identity and historical memories and reconstruct themselves in a way that may (perhaps) find favor with Israeli-Palestinians."
Sand essentially joins the camp of those who would make the Jewish people the only people in the world who have no right whatsoever to their own national and communal identity. He not only in doing this sins against the truth of history but insults that great majority of Israelis who actually care for and believe in the value of their own people and state.
Sand claims that his own parents Polish refugees from the Shoah came to Israel not because they wanted to , but because they had no choice. They could never really feel themselves a part of the Jewish people just as the parents of another Israel- basher Norman
Finkelstein's parents could never really feel sympathy and any solidarity with their fellow survivors of the Shoah. Out of such self- hating and people- denying parents comes this work, one which will certainly join with the Koestler's work on the Khazars as documents which seek to make the Jews a people who do not know their own origins and ancestors.
Intellectual treason may not be the greatest sin in the world, but when it contributes to a worldwide campaign aimed at destroying one's own nation and people it certainly makes one a candidate for one of the Underworlds's lower circles. Sand has already received much publicity and will receive a large royalty for his work. But my suspicion his ultimate reward will be that he will be wholly despised by the great share of Jews who know of his work.
If there is a Circle lower than the Ninth he should be in it. Permalink | Why no voting buttons? We don't let customers vote on their own reviews, so the voting buttons appear only when you look at reviews submitted by others.
What kind of person is Shlomo Sand? He is the kind of person who compares Israel in an interview to a child born of a rape, he is a S.H.I.T (Self Hater Israel Threatening) Jew who denies his own roots, that's what is written in his book:
"Most Israeli Jews believe in a historical right. If there is no such right, what justifies our existence here? Arabs also ask me, after writing this book, how can I justify the existence of Israel. I say to them that even the son of a rape has the right to live. It was a kind of rape in 1947 and '48 and the Palestinian tragedy continues. But you can say the same about the USA and Australia."
..."I think Israel belongs to the Israelis, not the Jews. We have a language, a culture, a theater, a literature, our jokes our football and our politics. We are a people but we are not just a Jewish people. I want to change the borders and definition of the state. I want to make it a more civil nation — to separate religion from its existence, to normalise and democratize Israel. I think that Israel has to belong to all its citizens, not just the Jewish ones. People call me radical but from a democratic perspective this is not so radical....."
Therefore, we glean that he's a scholar working at an Israeli university which affords him the freedom to attack his country and society viciously and then have his ideas travel the world with him so he can call the country subsidizing his salary, the child of a rape.
And you can imagine he has serious support from the anti-Israel crowd, Jewish especially.
Shlomo Sand Ridiculed by Historian Simon Schama
Some of you may recall our celebration of French journalistic standards which permitted "The Invention of the Jewish People," a sad, ideologically bent book by Shlomo Sand to win the Aujourd'hui Award, "given to the best non-fiction political or historical work from French journalists."
Schama writes:
"Sand's self-dramatizing attack in The Invention of the Jewish People is directed against those who assume, uncritically, that all Jews are descended lineally from the single racial stock of ancient Hebrews – a position no one who has thought for a minute about the history of the Jews would dream of taking."
"But, he argues, there actually was no mass forced "exile" so there can be no legitimate "return". This is the take-away headline that makes this book so contentious. It is undoubtedly right to say that a popular version of this idea of the exile survives in most fundamentalist accounts of Jewish history. It may well be the image that many Jewish children still have. But it is a long time since any serious historian argued that following the destruction of the Second Temple, the Romans emptied Judea. But what the Romans did do, following the Jewish revolt of AD66-70 and even more exhaustively after a second rebellion in AD135, was every bit as traumatic: an act of cultural and social annihilation – mass slaughter and widespread enslavement. But there was also the mass extirpation of everything that constituted Jewish religion and culture; the renaming of Jerusalem as Aelia Capitolina, the obliteration of the Temple, the prohibition on rituals and prayers. Sand asserts, correctly, that an unknowable number of Jews remained in what the Romans called Palestina. The multitudes of Jews in Rome had already gone there, not as a response to disaster but because they wanted to and were busy proselytizing."
"All this is true and has been acknowledged. But Sand appears not to notice that it undercuts his argument about the non-connection of Jews with the land of Palestine rather than supporting it. Put together, the possibility of leading a Jewish religious life outside Palestine, with the continued endurance of Jews in the country itself and you have the makings of that group yearning – the Israel-fixation, which Sand dismisses as imaginary. What the Romans did to the defeated Jews was dispossession, the severity of which was enough to account for the homeland-longing by both the population still there and those abroad. That yearning first appears, not in Zionist history, but in the writings of medieval Jewish teachers, and never goes away."
"There are many such twists of historical logic and strategic evasions of modern research in this book. To list them all would try your patience...."
"His assumption that the Jewish state is an oxymoron built on illusions of homogeneity is belied by the country's striking heterogeneity. How else to explain the acceptance of the Beta Israel Ethiopian Jews or the Bene Israel Indians as Israeli Jews? Certainly that acceptance has never been without obstacles, and egregious discrimination has been shown by those who think they know what "real jews" should look like. Sand is right in believing that a more inclusive and elastic version of entry and exit points into the Jewish experience should encourage a debate in Israel of who is and who is not a "true" Jew. I could hardly agree more, and for precisely the reason that Sand seems not to himself embrace: namely that the legitimacy of Israel both within and without the country depends not on some spurious notion of religious much less racial purity, but on the case made by a community of suffering, not just during the Holocaust but over centuries of expulsions and persecutions. Unlike the Roman deportations, these were not mythical."
"Sand would counter that such a refuge for the victims could have been in China, or on the moon, for all that Palestine had to do with the Jews. But since his book fails to sever the remembered connection between the ancestral land and Jewish experience ever since, it seems a bit much to ask Jews to do their bit for the sorely needed peace of the region by replacing an ethnic mythology with an act of equally arbitrary cultural oblivion."
Very soon, expect to hear on campuses, in news programs on the radio and occasionally in TV programs that the Jewish people are a myth. This stuff used to be said by the neo-Nazi loonies who inhabit this world, but now we have a Jewish, son of Holocaust survivors, professor from an Israeli university, ideologue whose ideology so blinds him to the basic identity of the Jewish people that he has put this lie into the mainstream.
The problem with his argument is that HE'S the one who is touting the biological issue. It is clear to most Jews that their identity stems from our thousands of years of common heritage and that heritage is directly linked to our past in Judea and Israel. It isn't material whether my genes are directly connected to those of some Jerusalemite from 2000 years ago – although they might well be – it's that their ideas, beliefs, practices and lives have filtered down to our time and resonate with our identity. They define who we are, and not because of a couple of 19th Century historians, but precisely because our traditions, our shared histories, our literature and even the enduring hatred we've suffered, are a part of every Jew. If a prayer was being said 2000 years ago, and then 1000 years later a Jew who descends from a convert says the same prayer and teaches it to his children, and that prayer is repeated 500 years later and again a thousand years later by Jews, even if they are descended from converts to Judaism, that does not lessen their connection to the place where that prayer, language and culture originated. It does not change the fact that they faced Jerusalem when praying and wished that they could visit it and even live there upon the messiah's arrival.
Whether Sand approves or not, these ideas that form us exist because our ancestors – and here I may mean biological and I could mean ancestry in terms of ideas, faith and religious practice – lived in Jerusalem and Hebron and Shechem and Judea and Samaria.
If his problem is that Israel, a state defining itself as a Jewish state, exist on disputed land that the Palestinians claim as theirs, then that's an entirely different issue and question. Trying to use questionable history to address this complex situation is reprehensible.
If Walt & Mearsheimer's "The Israel Lobby" wins TheMiddle's "21st Century Protocols of the Elders of Zion" Award, Sand's "The Invention of the Jewish People" wins the "Temple was Never Here, It Was in Nablus" Upside Down History Prize, which I dedicate to Yasser Arafat.
Shlomo Sand is Angry at His Critics
Posted by "themiddle" in Jewlicious
Ooooh, the man is really angry. Shlomo Sand (also known as Shlomo Zand) is angry that historians like Simon Schama have critiqued his work unfavorably. Does he bother to refute their claims? No, he has a different response: "I live there and you don't, therefore I can speak and you should not criticize me." (LOL - what a pathetic joke of a man)
Here is how he put it to The Guardian:
"The book fails to sever the remembered connection between the ancestral land and Jewish experience," Schama wrote. "What chutzpah coming from Simon Schama, speaking about his ancestral land!" Sand says, eyes widening. "He doesn't want to come to his 'ancestral land' to live!"
"Sand is scathing about accusations made by Jews living elsewhere that his book is anti-Israel. From the comfort of the diaspora they charge him with sedition. Some say his thesis fuels antisemitism. Overseas donors to Tel Aviv University have called for him to be sacked."
"But Sand has voted for Israel with his feet. He is not anti-Zionist, he says, but post-Zionist: accepting modern Israel as a faith accomplice. Besides, his interest in the country's survival as a democracy is not theoretical. His family lives there."
"Diaspora Zionists can nurture the Jewish myth of biblical nationhood as dual citizenship alongside their passports from safer states. When they refer to "Israel" and "Jerusalem" in their prayers, they do not have to distinguish between scriptural metaphor and political reality. It is a distinction on which Israel's survival depends."
"A lot of pro-Zionists in London and New York don't really understand what their great-grandparents felt about Zion," says Sand. "It was the most important place in the world in their imagination, as a religious, sacred land, not a place to emigrate." That "Israel" was a metaphysical destination to be reached at the End of Days. The modern Israeli state is a political enterprise, conceived in the late 19th century, made necessary by the Holocaust, founded in 1948."
Methinks Mr. Sand doesn't get it. First of all, he is forgetting that well-regarded Israeli historians such as Anita Shapira have criticized his work for shoddy scholarship and they also live in Israel.
He also forgets that a person who lives outside of Israel, Jewish or not, has the right to find flaws with his work and point them out. They don't need to live in Israel in order to do that and their arguments and claims are no less valid just because they live elsewhere. His resources for the research of history are no greater than the resources available to Simon Schama. The same goes for the discussion of a link between Jews and their ancestral homeland. A Tibetan monk could discuss this link and if his resources or knowledge are good and the argument is historically sound, his views are just as valid as those of Israeli scholars.
Why does Mr. Sand think that he gets a pass on doing good research and coming to correct conclusions simply because he lives in Israel? He doesn't.
What is particularly galling is that he actually admits that his thesis is wrong!
"A lot of pro-Zionists in London and New York don't really understand what their great-grandparents felt about Zion," says Sand. "It was the most important place in the world in their imagination, as a religious, sacred land, not a place to emigrate." That "Israel" was a metaphysical destination to be reached at the End of Days."
Precisely, Mr. Sand. Except for the part about it not being a place to emigrate. This is exactly what your critics have been telling you. For almost two millenia this particular idea has been at the center of Jewish life and Jewish imagination. Whether a person was genetically connected to our ancestors in Judea or Israel is not what defines our connection as Jews to the Land of Israel. It is exactly what you say it is: "the most important place in the world in their imagination, as a religious, sacred land." After all, you're the one who talks about the Jewish people being the result of mass conversions. Yet, you know well that the idea of Israel that you mention in the interview was a bond that Jews shared throughout the world, whether in Yemen, Morocco, Germany or anywhere else. It is this link that made them a nation and a people. It is this link that connected them and connects us to modern Israel.
The claim that the Jews did not envision Israel as a place to which they could emigrate is a red herring. They did not have the option. Not only was there no economic infrastructure in the area, but there were often hostile forces, Christian and Muslim, who controlled the place and who would have made it difficult to travel there or live there. Sand knows the story of Rabbi Yehuda Halevi who traveled to visit the Western Wall and was then, according to legend, run over by a horse and killed. Why would such a legend crop up? Because Jews did not believe they could safely return to their homeland.
"The Palestinian people have no national identity.
I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."
Quotes About "Palestine"
Remember: Israel is bad! Its existence keeps reminding Muslims what a bunch of losers they are.
"There will be no peace until they will love their children more than they hate us."
-Golda Meir-
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel'
~Benjamin Netanyahu~
"Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all out war, a war which will last for generations.
~Yasser Arafat~
"The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."
~ Yasser Arafat ~
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism".

More Quotes About "Palestine"
"There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries part of Syria. 'Palestine' is alien to us. It is the Zionists who introduced it".
- Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, Syrian Arab leader to British Peel Commission, 1937 -
"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not".
- Professor Philip Hitti, Arab historian, 1946 -
"It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but Southern Syria".
- Representant of Saudi Arabia at the United Nations, 1956 -
Concerning the Holy Land, the chairman of the Syrian Delegation at the Paris Peace Conference in February 1919 stated:
"The only Arab domination since the Conquest in 635 c.e. hardly lasted, as such, 22 years".
"There is not a solitary village throughout its whole extent (valley of Jezreel, Galilea); not for thirty miles in either direction... One may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. For the sort of solitude to make one dreary, come to Galilee... Nazareth is forlorn... Jericho lies a mouldering ruin... Bethlehem and Bethany, in their poverty and humiliation... untenanted by any living creature... A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds... a silent, mournful expanse... a desolation... We never saw a human being on the whole route... Hardly a tree or shrub anywhere. Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country... Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes... desolate and unlovely...".
- Mark Twain, "The Innocents Abroad", 1867 -
"In 1590 a 'simple English visitor' to Jerusalem wrote: 'Nothing there is to bescene but a little of the old walls, which is yet remayning and all the rest is grasse, mosse and weedes much like to a piece of rank or moist grounde'.".
- Gunner Edward Webbe, Palestine Exploration Fund,
Quarterly Statement, p. 86; de Haas, History, p. 338 -
"The land in Palestine is lacking in people to till its fertile soil".
- British archaeologist Thomas Shaw, mid-1700s -
"Palestine is a ruined and desolate land".
- Count Constantine François Volney, XVIII century French author and historian -
"The Arabs themselves cannot be considered but temporary residents. They pitched their tents in its grazing fields or built their places of refuge in its ruined cities. They created nothing in it. Since they were strangers to the land, they never became its masters. The desert wind that brought them hither could one day carry them away without their leaving behind them any sign of their passage through it".
- Comments by Christians concerning the Arabs in Palestine in the 1800s -
"Then we entered the hill district, and our path lay through the clattering bed of an ancient stream, whose brawling waters have rolled away into the past, along with the fierce and turbulent race who once inhabited these savage hills. There may have been cultivation here two thousand years ago. The mountains, or huge stony mounds environing this rough path, have level ridges all the way up to their summits; on these parallel ledges there is still some verdure and soil: when water flowed here, and the country was thronged with that extraordinary population, which, according to the Sacred Histories, was crowded into the region, these mountain steps may have been gardens and vineyards, such as we see now thriving along the hills of the Rhine. Now the district is quite deserted, and you ride among what seem to be so many petrified waterfalls. We saw no animals moving among the stony brakes; scarcely even a dozen little birds in the whole course of the ride".
- William Thackeray in "From Jaffa To Jerusalem", 1844 -
"The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is of a body of population".
- James Finn, British Consul in 1857 -
"The area was underpopulated and remained economically stagnant until the arrival of the first Zionist pioneers in the 1880's, who came to rebuild the Jewish land. The country had remained "The Holy Land" in the religious and historic consciousness of mankind, which associated it with the Bible and the history of the Jewish people. Jewish development of the country also attracted large numbers of other immigrants - both Jewish and Arab. The road leading from Gaza to the north was only a summer track suitable for transport by camels and carts... Houses were all of mud. No windows were anywhere to be seen... The plows used were of wood... The yields were very poor... The sanitary conditions in the village [Yabna] were horrible... Schools did not exist... The rate of infant mortality was very high... The western part, toward the sea, was almost a desert... The villages in this area were few and thinly populated. Many ruins of villages were scattered over the area, as owing to the prevalence of malaria, many villages were deserted by their inhabitants".
- The report of the British Royal Commission, 1913 -

It will come with Ford's new 1.5-litre, three cylinder, and 123PS petrol motor in addition to the 1.5-litre TDCi engine.
New Land Rover Discovery
The new-gen Land Rover Discovery has chucked the squarish profile and straight lines for a sleeker and sophisticated design. His cabin arrangement of the 2017 Land Rover Discovery has been completely redone with new design and trim layers. Sharing with the flagship Range Rover are the steering wheel, dashboard and the central panel. When launched in India, the Discovery will be powered by the twin-turbo Sd4 Ingenium four-cylinder diesel makes 240PS and 500Nm of torque

The Ford Aspire is among our pick in the compact sedan segment but the car is in need of a refresh, given the stiff competition it faces from the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. Ford is set to tweak the exterior designing as well as revise the list of features.
Hyundai i20 facelift
The Hyundai i20 has been a tremendous success and it continues to do well, despite facing serious competition from the Maruti Suzuki Baleno. The premium hatchback is due to receive a facelift and is probable to feature changes to the outside as well as updates to the interior.
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift
The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has been doing quite well in the market, however, the new Hyundai Verna has already raced ahead by outselling the Maruti as well as the Honda City. In light of the increased competition, Maruti Suzuki will launch the Ciaz facelift that is expected to sport a revised front and rear bumper as well as new head and tail lamps. The grille is also expected to sport an Audi like goatee. The interior is also expected to be redesigned.

Hey everyone!
It's the Top 5 Sunday again!!
Here is this really cool event, i'm following for a while now, called "Top 5 Sundays" hosted by "Welcome To Larissa's Bookish Life"
1 - Write a post listing your TOP 5 choices within the theme I chose (or was chosen on a poll) for the week.
2 - Mention this Blog on the post and link back to it.
3 - Fell free to use the Feature's image (there is a smaller size version of it bellow)
4 - After you've finished your post, add you link (of the post, not your blog's main page) to the Mr.Linky at the end of that week's post.
The theme for today is:
Books/Series You'd Rather Didn't Become a Movie/TV Show!
*in no particular order
Oh this is hard, because I would love to see my favorites on the big screen or on the tv, but I also don't want to see that they're changing/cutting off major things (like Hunger Games), not to mention the bad/too much CGI (give them to Mr.Cameron and I'll be ok with that!).
So I don't want a "cheap" visual version of these books:
Again, I would love to see a Guild Hunter movie, but it's sooooo easy to screw up!!!
I think the Demonica series wouldn't be so hard (but i guess it would be still too hot, but true blood doesn't have a problem with that, so who knows...), but the LOD would pretty damn hard with the horses, and too much places most of them destroyed, horse battles, angels, hellhounds, so yeah...
Again, this one would be easy to ruin... Different places in different times, so much effects.
Same problem that I have with Larissa's series. The Guardian series features demons, mostly angels, heaven, hell, dragons, vampires, and so much more. It could be and incredible tv show/movie only in the right hands...
A sci-fi. In bad hands this would REALLY REALLY SUCK!! Setting in space, on different planets, ships... I'm not sure if even the awesome Stargate Crew could pull it out!! But I do love the book trailers, so they could make a mini web series.... ;)

Lewes's resurgence towards the end of their season continued in their final League game at home against local rivals, Uckfield, thereby gaining revenge for their heavy defeat against the same side in the opening match back in September.
However, it was not enough to stave off relegation, meaning that Lewes will play in Sussex League 1 next season.
Although the initial pressure came from the hosts, it was the visitors who opened the scoring with their first foray into Lewes's22 metre area after 13 minutes, when they charged down a Lewes kick, enabling the ball to be fed out wide for their full-back to touch down for the first try of the match, the conversion by their flanker seeing them put the first points on the scoreboard, 0 - 7.
But straight from the re-start, a fumble by Uckfield ended with a penalty against them which outside-half Henry Tagg duly slotted over from 35 metres out to narrow the gap to 3 - 7. Lewes went into the lead immediatley after when they won good ball inside their own half for left-winger Joe Terry to slice through the Uckfiled defence before off-loading to Tagg, who sprinted fully 60 metres for a fine, but unconverted, try in the left corner to go in at the break with a deserved 8 - 7 advantage.
This lead increased to 11 - 7 within seconds of the second-half, Tagg kicking over another penalty, and he then completed his personal tally of all Lewes's points immediately after Uckfield's re-start kick with a weaving run to score his second try near the posts, which he then converted to stretch his side's lead to 18 - 7. In the final quarter, Uckfield came back into the game, and on 64 minutes drew closer with a rare break into Lewes's half, their out-side half evading all tackle attempts before touching down near the posts, the conversion by No. 7 narrowing the gap to 18 - 14.
But Lewes's defence and organisation - which have improved immeasurably over the past weeks - saw them hold out for a fine win, appreciated by the large crowd, which - albeit too late - lifted them off the bottom of the League table.
On Saturday, Lewes host the Sussex Salver Final between Hove 4 and Newick 2, k.o. 12.00 noon, followed at 2.30pm by the Sussex Shield Final between BSMS(Medics) and Burgess Hill.
The following Saturday (25 April), Lewes entertain Crowborough in the quarter-final of the Bob Rogers Cup, k.o. 2.30pm.

Juventus are now six points clear of Napoli at the top of Serie A, after beating Sampdoria whilst the Partenopei were unable to score against a dogged AC Milan.
None of the top 10 teams – apart from Juve – were able to score this weekend, with Genoa and Cagliari getting vital wins as the race to avoid the drop hots up.
Our Team of the Week will see a 3-4-3 formation deployed. Let us know your thoughts!
Gianluigi Donnarumma – AC Milan (2 apps)
A save on Arek Milik that denied Napoli a vital win and marked his 100th Serie A appearance in the best possible way. He is the youngest ever player to reach 100 games in Italy's top flight.
Kostas Manolas – Roma (3 apps)
A solid performance, keeping Ciro Immobile and Felipe Anderson under control.
Luca Ceppitelli – Cagliari
The header in the final minutes to give all three points to Cagliari as they moved away from the relegation zone.
Cristian Zapata – AC Milan
Back in the starting lineup in one of the most difficult games of the season, the Colombian controlled Napoli's attack very smoothly. Was also handed the captain's armband.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic – Lazio (7 apps)
A dominant performance in the Derby della Capitale, playing a number of good balls to his attackers in an all action display, then almost scored a wonder goal at the death.
Luca Cigarini – Cagliari (4 apps)
Vital to the Sardinian side. His return to the starting line up coincided with a win, as he dictated play from deep, battled against opponents, and was crucial in the build up to Leonardo Pavoletti's goal with a beauty of a freekick.
Bryan Dabo – Fiorentina
He was everywhere on the pitch against SPAL, combining defensive skill with the ability to transition into attack.
Daniel Bessa – Genoa (2 apps)
A goal that gets the Grifone out of trouble.
Douglas Costa – Juventus (4 apps)
A thunderbolt every time he had the ball, built all three of Juve's goals and completely changed the face of the game when he came on.
Cheick Diabate – Benevento (4 apps)
Bagged seven goals in 10 shots since he arrived in Serie A in January. Ballon d'Or level stats.
Matteo Politano – Sassuolo (3 apps)

This was announced by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with CNN, Censor.NET reports citing BBC Russia.
According to Lavrov, Russia has no intention to escalate current 'cold' conflict with the United States.
He commented on statements of U.S. military officials that war between Russia and U.S. is inevitable by saying this should be left on their head.
Lavrov also said Russia had no plans to seize Syrian city of Aleppo in the interests of Bashar al-Assad's army. Moscow will rather support recent initiative by the UN special envoy on the Syrian crisis Staffan de Mistura.
Last week, de Mistura addressed militants from Al-Nusra Front group with a request to leave Aleppo and said he would convoy them in person. He also said that Moscow and Damask use the deployment of 900 militants in the 250,000-people region as an alibi to keep bombing it.
Lavror was quoted by the Russian Foreign Ministry as supportive of this initiative that would allow the opposition in Aleppo signing a cease-fire agreement with Syrian government.
Earlier, U.S. top military officials said war with Russia was 'almost guaranteed.'

December 7 – The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has announced a significant boost in prize money for the second year running for its growing regional club competitions.
The AFC Champions League winners will receive $4 million in 2018 – up from $3 million – while the runners up witll receive an extra $500,000. AFC Cup winners will see a rise, picking up $1.5 million, a hike of $500,000 from the $1 million prize money this season. Runners-up will get $750,000.
Dato' Windsor John, the AFC general secretary, said: "There is increased prize money at every stage in the AFC Champions League, which is already one of the richest continental club competitions in world football.
"The AFC Cup also sees significant increases for the winners and the finalists next season as we fulfil our Vision and Mission to deliver world class competitions which provide the best platform for Asia's leading players."
The AFC Champions League is the second most valuable confederation club competition globally and growing, especially in terms of prize money, after UEFA's club competions.
Next season the AFC is bringin in a travel subsidy in the early stages with an increase in prize money to $100,000 for teams qualifying for the round of 16, $150,000 in the quarter-finals and a rise of US$50,000 in the semi-finals taking the total to US$250,000 per team.
"One of our key decisions has been to invest in both our competitions, which are the lifeblood of every Confederation, and our Member Associations who provide the teams. We can already see the rewards with even higher standards and greater intensity in the competition," said John.
"The AFC has always looked to reward success and we are also dedicated to growing our competitions. Now we believe that in 2018 the incentive to win our two main club competitions will be greater than ever."

Good morning! Jeff & I had a conversation this week about my blog and basically the fact that I need to suck it up and post more, whether it has to do with sewing or not. He has also volunteered to try to help me not only come up with post ideas, but also type some up himself. Stay tuned on that! I can use all the help I can get!!
Let me start out by saying that if you aren't a dog lover, or if you are afraid of dogs or just don't like them, go ahead and disregard this post. Move on to Facebook or Pinterest. Don't read it, because all it contains is dog photos from my phone. There are {embarrassingly} many many many more, but I picked out my favorites to share with you. What can I say? This dog is always near and she's always doing cute things!! I would NOT have called myself a dog lover a year ago, but last July Jeff & I caved from months upon months of begging from our 3 kids. First we started entertaining the idea of a dog, then did a little research, and then I found MAGGIE! Now I will just show you how cute she is. She is like my 4th child and I adore her, and she also drives me crazy sometimes too.
This was the day I got her. Browder was at summer camp and the other 2 were at my mom's, so this was a total surprise. She was born in June and we got her in July when she was about 6 weeks old. Look at that face!!!
I had her in my sewing room early! These spools of thread were about her size.
When she got old enough I did puppy training at our local Petsmart. Is it Pets Mart? Or Pet Smart? Anyway, the kids joined me for the last night when Mags was awarded her graduation certificate. She DID learn to sit and a few other tricks. She DID NOT learn how to like other dogs. We are still working on that one.
Now on to the fun stuff! One night I walked in the kitchen and it was as if Maggie was coloring and doing homework with Sissy! She really is like a 4th child.
This is Maggie relaxing on our Costco bear, Chocolate. Our neighbor has fallen asleep on this bear before so I can see where the dog also likes it.
This is what I'm talkin' about when I say she drives me crazy! For a foofy little white dog, she loves to dig in the dirt, especially 5 minutes before we are supposed to be somewhere.
I can't stay mad for long! Just look at those eyes!!
All 3 kids adore her, and often fight over her attention.
She is especially cuddly at night.
She's often found hanging out in my sewing room/office too.
This was before her latest hair cut. Jeff would probably never admit how much he loves Maggie too! Of course he won't dare take her on a walk and rarely takes her anywhere in his car. His friends might pull his man card you know.
Another snuggly picture.
This was last week after her first "PUPPY CUT". Again, hanging out in my office {on my chair nonetheless}.
Last Friday we had some serious computer issues, so Jeff was on it trying to fix the problem. Maggie was on it too.
I think this was this past Sunday. We spent some time in the front yard and Mags spent some time with the grass.
This was last night (Jeff's foot, not mine).
And lastly (thank goodness some of you are saying) this was this morning. She is never far from me! I've been fighting "the crud" this week so this morning we spent some time watching The Today Show with a cup of coffee!
I guess writing a whole blog post with nothing but dog pictures qualifies me as a DOG LOVER?? I'm truly embarrassed by all of the pics on my phone of the DOG, but she is just so cute!! Have a great day, and I hope you enjoyed a little of my Maggie!

Title: Ann CassandraAuthor: Hifumishi Gorou, Amashii Gumi
Release: Monthly
Status: Finished
Genre: Fantasy, Shonen, Comedy
Art: A
Originality: S
Story: A
Characters: S
Humor: A
Action: S
Impression: This is about a pair of teenagers who meet and team up to break prophecies that tell off oncoming disasters. One is an odd accident prone boy whose death has been predicted to happen 3 years after the two meet while the other is a girl who can see into the future but marks her ability as curse. After having met the boy called Banjou, Bekku starts to see her ability in a new light, one where she can use it to help others that will be dragged down into misfortune should she leave them alone. This is a short but exciting manga that doesn't waste a single page in telling its story. The art style really fits the way the story is told and really brings out the intensity you should feel in a climax. The characters are all incredibly fun to watch and the jokes inside are quite refreshing to see. It's really rare to see a manga finish its story so satisfyingly good in so few chapters. The pacing is incredibly fast after the setup is all done and because it all finishes in eight chapters it's perfect for a 6 episode OVA series. The only problem that I have with this story is obviously the lack of more chapters for this series. In my opinion, this is a must-read for manga lovers.

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drug development company SCYNEXIS, Inc. (Nasdaq:SCYX) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted both Fast Track and Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designations for the intravenous (IV) formulation of SCY-078, SCYNEXIS' novel antifungal product, for the indications of invasive candidiasis (including candidemia) and invasive aspergillosis. SCYNEXIS is currently conducting a Phase 1 study of the IV formulation of SCY-078 to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single-rising doses. The FDA granted QIDP and Fast Track designations for the oral formulation of SCY-078 for both the treatment of invasive candidiasis and invasive aspergillosis in 2014. The oral formulation is currently in Phase 2 development for both invasive candidiasis and vulvovaginal candidiasis.
"In the 2016 revision of its clinical guidelines for the management of candidiasis, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) strongly recommends the use of echinocandins as initial therapy for invasive candidiasis. These recommendations are based on better overall outcomes observed with echinocandins — the only glucan synthase inhibitors currently available — when compared to azoles," said Dr. Peter Pappas, Principal Investigator of the Mycoses Study Group and Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. "SCY-078, a glucan synthase inhibitor, holds significant potential to become a first-line treatment alternative for this life-threatening condition. We view the FDA's granting of Fast Track and QIDP designations as validation of the potential value of SCY-078 as a promising new antifungal agent."
"SCY-078, the first representative of a novel class of glucan synthase inhibitors, goes beyond the two main classes of antifungal agents currently used for fungal infections by combining the best attributes of azoles and echinocandins," said Marco Taglietti, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of SCYNEXIS. "SCY-078 allows for both oral and IV administrations, like an azole, and is designed to block an established target in clinically relevant infectious fungi such as Candida and Aspergillus, like an echinocandin, including multi-drug resistant strains. Holding QIDP and Fast Track designations for both formulations further fosters our plans for expedited development of this innovative product in multiple indications addressing well-recognized medical and market needs."
The FDA's Fast Track Drug Development Program is a process designed to facilitate the development and expeditious review of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill unmet medical needs. This designation allows for companies to interact with the FDA review team frequently to discuss critical development issues such as study design, required safety data necessary to support approval, and structure and content of a New Drug Application (NDA). Additionally, should the FDA determine that a Fast Track product may be effective after their preliminary evaluation of clinical data submitted by a sponsor, the FDA may also consider reviewing portions of a marketing application before the sponsor submits the complete application, known as a "rolling" NDA.
The QIDP designation, provided under the 2012 U.S. Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now (GAIN) Act, allows SCYNEXIS to have priority review, eligibility for Fast Track status, and an additional five years of market exclusivity in the U.S. for SCY-078.
About SCY-078
SCY-078 is an oral glucan synthase inhibitor in Phase 2 development for the treatment of fungal infections caused by Candida and Aspergillus species. SCY-078 is a semi-synthetic derivative of the natural product enfumafungin—a structurally distinct class of glucan synthase inhibitors. SCY-078 combines the well-established activity of glucan synthase inhibitors with the flexibility of use of azole with both oral and IV formulations. By belonging to a chemical class distinct from other antifungals, SCY-078 has shown in vitro activity against multi-drug resistant pathogens, including azole and echinocandin resistant strains. SCY-078 is currently in Phase 2 development with the oral formulations in two indications: invasive candidiasis and vulvovaginal candidiasis. The FDA designated SCY-078 as a QIDP for both oral and IV use for the indications of invasive candidiasis, including candidemia, and invasive aspergillosis.
About Invasive Fungal Infections
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are serious, often life-threatening infections caused by a variety of fungal species. Candida and Aspergillus species are the fungi responsible for approximately 85% of all invasive fungal infections in the U.S. and Europe. The incidence of invasive fungal infections has increased significantly over the past two decades, as the populations of patients at risk have continued to rise. Morbidity and mortality remain high despite the currently available antifungal agents. Because there are limited treatment options, and they are used widely, there has been an increase in the number of infections due to drug-resistant strains.
About Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC)
VVC, commonly known as a "yeast infection," is usually caused by Candida albicans and typical symptoms include pruritus, vaginal soreness, irritation and abnormal vaginal discharge. An estimated 75% of women will have at least one episode of VVC during their lifetime and 40%-45% will experience two or more episodes. As many as 8% of these patients suffer from recurrent VVC, defined as experiencing at least four episodes a year. Current treatments for VVC include topical antifungals and the use of prescription oral antifungals such fluconazole, which has a therapeutic cure rate of 55% as reported in the label. There are no products currently approved for the treatment recurrent VVC.
About SCYNEXIS
SCYNEXIS is a pharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of novel anti-infectives to address significant unmet therapeutic needs. We are developing our lead product candidate, SCY-078, as an oral and IV drug for the treatment of serious and life-threatening invasive fungal infections in humans.

Interested in Starting an Online Business?
Are you interested in starting an online business? Many people that want to make money on eBay have decided that it is not only enough to earn a little bit of extra money but they want to start a full-time business and really take it to the next level. That is possible but there are several things that need to be considered in order to make it a success for you.
One thing that needs to be considered is the items that are being sold on eBay. There are plenty of wholesale clothing distributors or companies that will sell you wholesale computers and these can be of benefit because it can allow you to be profitable (Source: Wholesale Computers by Doba). Unfortunately, there may be other competing companies that are also using the same wholesaler so you may need to keep your prices lower in order to compete. Just make sure that you are truly making a profit after everything is considered.
Another thing that you should consider is that you can build a reputation on eBay which will help you to see even more success. That reputation is going to come in the form of feedback from your existing customers. Do not underestimate how much power this has when it comes to selling your items on that auction website. Some people are not going to purchase from any one who does not have excellent ratings in the marketplace. After all, they may be taking somewhat of a risk if they do otherwise. Make sure that you pay close attention to your eBay rating and do what is necessary to make your customers happy.

It isn't very often that you open up a new avenue of exploration.
Recently, I've been looking at Harry Callahan again. First started looking at his work in the mid-70s, I suppose, during my first bout with serious photography. But about a year ago, now, I first consciously learned about both his color work and his use of in-camera multiple exposures. Both of which, I find immensely fascinating. But especially some of the multiple exposures are simply amazing for the level of technique and seeing that they represent. Such consciousness and awareness; not only to remember what is on each roll of film and in what order, but also the basic structure of each image so that a complementary scene can be superimposed. Some of those photos are simply staggering.
One of the defining characteristics of Callahan's work in this direction is that the multiple layers nearly always have a relationship with each other; they are not just random shots superimposed. Doubtless, he made dozens or hundreds that did not work, but the ones that he released are clearly designed, composed, intentional. Given all the variables involved, it's nearly inconceivable that any would really work, but especially the ones that layer complex cityscapes push the limits of the possible.
At any rate, a week or so ago, I had the thought to try a multiple exposure, although since I use digital, I had to do it in Photoshop. Even so, the process is similar, in that you need complementary images to begin with. So I picked on of my photos from Pittsburgh, an uneven wall with a small bush and fallen leaves, to begin. Then, it popped into my head that perhaps some photos I made of legs during the summer might complement well. And the first one that I tried resulted in the above photo. It blew me away how well they worked together, with only very minimal work in Photoshop.
In the time since, I've only had a chance to try a few more and, so far, I've pretty much deleted them after a few minutes of futzing, since they didn't combine in any interesting ways. Only one really was successful, and I posted that on my Flickr. This one is actually six layers of people passing a spray-painted blob on a wall, with each image centered on that blob. While this photo seems to work fairly well, it's a bit more complex that I expect would work well on a regular basis.
So, something new …

Saturday, August 16, 2014
Jonas Kaufmann is down under for two recitals in Sydney (one down, one to go) and one in Melbourne. The programme is the same for all three. Just 24 hours before the last (the second Sydney concert) there are still plenty of seats available (some 300 at a quick count and that doesn't include the blocked off choir stalls) despite the huge acclaim which precedes him, glowing reviews and substantial discounting.
Quoted front of house prices are $145 - $365 plus a $5.00 to $8.50 booking fee. So totting up two good seats, programme, drinks (let alone dinner) and parking (only rich people drive anyway) and there's not much change from a thousand dollars. If that wasn't enough to dissuade fans or would be fans, tickets were initially coupled with subscriptions to Opera Australia's 2014 (not 2015 as originally written, typo, sorry) season.
There's a pricing problem here and it's lose-lose. The house should be full to overflowing, CDs walking out the door, preferably just signed, and as many people as possible hearing him with opera in general the beneficiary which one assumes is what the promoter, Opera Australia, had in mind.
The programming was certainly everyman friendly even if everyman couldn't go - go for what was for many probably the only chance to hear such a famous voice live. We, for this very reason, went to the first Sydney concert. I had failed to get tickets in Munich, despite a good connection, although admittedly it was his Manrico debut night.
'Recondita armonia' Tosca
'Improviso' Andrea Chénier
'La vita è inferno' La forza del destino
'Vesti la guibba' I Pagliacci
'La fleur que tu m'avais jetée' Carmen
'Pourquoi me réveiller' Werther
'Mamma, quel vino è generoso' Cavalleria rusticana
'Du bist die Welt für mich'
'E lucevan le stelle'
'Die ist mein ganzes Herz'
The above were all bracketed with excerpts from similar genre works and the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra sounded particularly good conducted by Kaufmann's man with the stick, the very genial gentle smiling unassuming Jochen Rieder.
I wasn't going to say anything about Herr Kaufmann, what with it all having been said before. But, unable to help myself as I am, can I say ...
His stage presence was a surprise, tending toward self effacing. The voice is well worth hearing live in that it is quite difficult to describe, and even harder to imagine from recordings. From the certainly masculine dark not gravelly but with rubbed edges midrange ( I told you it was hard) he ascends with a noticeable gear change to an all but angelic head voice. Dynamics and phrasing are lovely, and his crescendos particularly effective, bringing a gasp and sustained applause at the conclusion on the 'La Vita é inferno', the highlight of the night for me, moments of wonderful wonderful story telling.
I would dearly love to see and hear him in character where he could forget about Being Jonas. But most of all, I would love to hear him sing, diction perfect as it is, something like this which I heard (as you can) in this Andrew Ford interview - Der Leiermann, Schubert's Die Wintereisse. Here it is from Barcelona (a not well balanced pirate - but all I can find).
Addit 19th Aug:
Roger Neill lists the orchestral pieces , indeed much more than just fillers while JK sucked a sweet (he noticeably had a little something in his mouth in the bows between encores). The Bacchanale especially was great fun.

Such a shame about the pricing. Loved your "Being Jonas" comment, too. I've heard Kaufmann only once live, but a good once, in Parsifal, though I have to say that, for me, he wasn't "the one" that night. For me, Peter Mattei as Amfortas made the most lasting impression. But I'm not versed, to say the least.

Did you really have to subscribe to the 2015 season to get Kaufmann tickets? If so, no wonder sales were slow.

Well that was a good one to hear Sue.
M, as I read the 2015 season on-line, tickets to the (then) two recitals were coupled with subs and I went no further. When they announced the second Sydney concert earlier this year, I poked around at it and seats were then available for any/all. I might have misconstrued the first release, but really don't think so. The whole 'campaign' for want of a better term seems pretty screwy to me. The orchestra out of the black hole was good. They should do more exposed playing. Simone had that idea. But the SSO have the run on Opera in the Big Hall now I suppose.

M, of course I meant 2014, and to have repeated 2015 in the comment reply to you brings Noel Coward's once / twice quip to mind. Sorry.

Possibly after a festival.andyvine this'd this
I once saw a taxi driver
throw a two pence tip out of the window, hitting the giver of said tip in the arse as he walked off. This is the only taxi anecdote that springs to mind.
my friend once punched a bouncer in the face and then ran away
only to get immediately knocked down by a taxi. The bouncer caught him and proceeded to deliver a well earned kick in.
sounds like the makings of a high action tv series
The Vigilante Cabjapes this'd this
A frightening 90 mins in a field in the Isle of Wight
Thought I was going to have to sleep in a paddock
when i was leaving vancouver
i got a call to say my taxi was outside, suddenly got the sudden fear that i didn't have all my passport, documents, etc so faffed around for five minutes, found them and then went down. the guy was still sat there but just had a go at me for being late and then drove off. whattacunt.
I lived on the IOW for 18 years.
Never ever taken a taxi there.
thread qualifier:
i had to wait ages for another one
It was 2am and I was the last to leave a wedding reception
Everyone else was staying in another village and headed off in a bus, but my pre-booked taxi never showed up. It was pitch black, and the place I was staying was 8 miles away and all the taxi numbers I had said they'd finished up for the night. So I was just standing beside a country road in complete silence hating on the Isle of Wight
Classic Isle of Wight, that is.
Can't wait to be back on Sunday. Can't. Wait.
2.5 hours.
After ATP in the boondocks of Melbourne earlier this year. They cocked up the charter buses back to the city to the point that they stopped turning up. Quickly realising the situation we booked a taxi but by the time they started turning up we were left to fight it out with a couple hundred other souls at the petrol station next door with the drivers taking whoever got to the door first. Cue no more cabs being available in the area.
Eventually got a ride with a driver who'd just finished his shift but could only take us part of the way, then proceeded to walk about 5kms to where we were staying. Found out a fresh batch of buses turned up approx 5 minutes after we left. Delightful.

This thread is so fucked
the threadsmash isn't helping things, either
don't worry
i just reported the threadma0sm and robluvsnic this'd this
An hour and a half
in LONDON ffs. And it was crazily expensive.
(it was Xmas Eve last year and I'd wandered out of the pub to see the last bus of the night take off)

ATP Vs The Fans
had to wait an hour and a half because all their taxis had been booked
About an hour
Before my girlfriend's sister told them in no uncertain terms to stick their taxi, so we ended up catching the bus home.
Now if she (or my girlfriend, or their parents) want a taxi back to their house with this company they have to give them a different house number or they refuse to pick them up :D
Had 5 refuse to take me last night
as they claimed they had either never heard of the place, or that it was too far....
About 30 minutes
I use Hailo a good bit now which is much faster. Usually get a taxi within 2- 5 minutes.

Biztalk 2006 on Linux ... yes, it's possible (2)
So I finally installed the second Biztalk 2006 beta on my Ubuntu Linux box. My machine is a Pavilion 5080.be with 1GB of RAM. I thought running VMWare and Windows 2003 Server would really slow the machine down ... but it didn't.
In the above screenshot you can see my first flow (ProcessOrder) I've developed in Biztalk 2006. Let's start doing some more advanced things ;)

If your home is suitable for extension into your garden or yard, it's worth considering. Home extensions cost less than you might think, and don't just add space but value to your property as well.
We can show you examples of other houses we've built extensions for, help with ideas and advise on whether planning permission is necessary (usually it isn't). We'll also advise on what's required - layout, materials, finish and so on.
There are all kinds of different extensions to choose from, such as side returns and rear extensions, and even double storey extensions. Garage extensions or conversions are popular too, and we also offer cube and glass box extensions.
You can see examples of some of house extensions we've done in North, Central and West London in our gallery and read what our customers say in our testimonials
Other extensions involve basements - more on this is on our basements and new builds page
And if you need an existing extension underpinned or repaired, we can help with that too. As with all our work, we always provide clear, detailed estimates
But before that, why not have a quick chat with us to discuss your needs - Simply contact us

Days 5 & 6 were canceled. And there's not much as miserable as a hang gliding competition without flying...
Although we had some free flying yesterday in the early evening. I first had some fun buzzing the launch, but when I got into a thermal with some strength, I decided to take it and it soon became a solid 4,5 m/s to 2000 m. I decided to go for Gubbio against the 30 km/h wind and Karl Reichegger (I think), seemed to have the same plan. We took a 2 m/s in the middle of the valley and almost drifted back to above launch. But we had made some advance and could glide to the Gubbio ridge now. When I arrived there, the winds were almost NW and I spent 40 min soaring the ridge, but not getting any decent thermals anymore. I couldn't get back, so I landed near Gubbio.
Julia was flying herself, so when she didn't reply to my sms, I decided to walk to Gubbio and have dinner there. Gnocchi with a tomato sauce, bacon, rucola and parmesan. It tasted good and it filled the stomach.
I really hope we fly another task tomorrow! We came here to compete.

The Opening Doors Charter
In October 2015, the Institute of Physics published Opening Doors, a guide to good practice in countering gender stereotyping in secondary education, based on a series of site visits to schools.
The IOP is continuing this work by investigating an Opening Doors (OD) kitemark for schools, analogous to the Athena SWAN/Project Juno schemes that have proved so successful in the university sector. The intention is that the scheme would operate in a similar manner to Athena SWAN (AS), with a published set of principles and guidelines, different levels of achievement (e.g. bronze, silver and gold) and written submissions judged by expert panels. One difference between AS and OD would be that the latter would be concerned exclusively with gender stereotyping amongst pupils and would not consider staff issues directly.
During the 2016/2017 academic year, the Opening Doors Charter pilot worked with a small group of schools to investigate the impact of a quality mark on whole school gender equality. It was run in partnership with King's College London and in close collaboration with UCL and ECU. The pilot was based on a provisional set of principles and guidelines derived from the OD guide to good practice. A mentor worked closely with the schools to help them understand the purpose of the scheme and to work towards a draft submission. The output from the pilot will be an improved set of principles and guidelines together with a clear, streamlined process that will enable OD to be rolled out across the country without leading to a disproportionate administrative burden on schools.

Back in the day, Borah Elementary was the best elementary school in Coeur d'Alene. That's mostly because I went to Borah Elementary, and for Halloween we'd march in our costumes down to the nearby retirement facilities just off Best Avenue. And so all the people there thought it was the best school too. Elementary school pride is a beautiful thing.
Borah could still be the best elementary school in the area, but now my oldest daughter goes to a different elementary school, so that's the best one.
The neighborhood surrounding Borah Elementary is mostly a collection of older homes — some in better shape than others but mostly a uniformly welcoming area.
Its centrality cannot be beat. The homes south of Best between 4th and 15th Streets are mere seconds from Interstate 90 access. Appleway is Fast Food Lane in Coeur d'Alene, and Third/Fourth Street offer a speedy jaunt to downtown Coeur d'Alene.
Don't forget about the Best Avenue food trucks, featuring some of the tastiest eats in town — Taco Works, Rawdeadfish, Triple B Backhills BBQ, Best Sandwich Shack — it's a tough choice every time. If I lived near there, I probably wouldn't even bother buying groceries.
Back to the real estate. Michaela Corcoran-Hall, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty, had a listing recently in the area — a five bedroom, three bathroom home built in 1964 with more than 2,500 square feet and a shop on the property to booth. The listing didn't sit long.
"I believe it's the central location, and it has easy freeway access, it's easy to get to Spokane," she said.
There aren't many active listings in the area at the moment. Another home closer to Borah with five bedrooms and just over 2,000 square feet is listed at $229,900. Another home closer to 15th Street is also listed at $229,900 — it boasts five bedrooms too and sits on an oversized lot.
A couple of less expensive options are available if you travel just a little north of Best, near Sunset Park. For example, a four bedroom, two bathroom home built in 1971 and featuring more than 2,200 square feet is listed at $215,000.
Sunset Park, by the way, is a five-acre park located at 1355 East Best Ave. It includes playground equipment, a basketball court and two softball fields. I don't remember it being there when I was a kid, but I was probably distracted by the nearby Videonics and Paws Sports Cards to remember anything that encouraged outdoor physical activity.
For more information on homes in the area, as well as real estate throughout Coeur d'Alene and beyond, contact Michaela Corcoran-Hall at 208-704-2874 or visit www.your-home-girl.com

Somebody send help for poor Lee from Leigh because he came out with the most bizarre thing seen on TV ever.
Lee from Leigh in Wigan couldn't believe his luck when the charming and funny nurse Abigail showed up for their date at the First Dates restaurant.
Obviously, Abigail joked that Lee's name would be easy to remember, before asking him if he had remembered her name.
"I'm not good with names. Say it again," a mortified Lee admitted, but cheeky Abigail challenged him: "No, you gotta guess!"
And guess he did - was it Eastern?! Umm no, or as Abigail wondered: "What are you on about?"
Yeah, he actually guessed her name was Eastern - a name that does not exist, not even in Kimye land.
But it got worse...
With Lee still embarrassed about his strange guess, maître d' Fred took the couple to their table. Abigail dobbed Lee in to Fred, saying he'd forgotten her name.
Attempting to help Lee out, Fred smoothly replied: "Oh Abigail! How could he do that!"
Lee's response? "And she won't tell me now!"
"He just said it!" she exclaimed completely bemused, to which Lee again answered: "Eastern?"
However, it actually turned out that Lee was so nervous because he's always struggled with self-confidence and had very little experience with dating.
"I'm not been asked on many dates. This is like the first proper date I'd ever had," he explained.
Abigail was very sweet about it all – and even agreed to go out on a second date. Hooray!
"You're a good time. You're a hoot," Abigail beamed.
First Dates will be back for its Christmas special next Monday (December 19) on Channel 4 at the earlier time of 9pm.

New Delhi: After introducing superstar Salman Khan's suave look from 'Race 3', the makers have now revealed Jacqueline Fernandez's character through the first look poster. Jackie will be seen playing Jessica in the film and she looks fierce in the teaser poster, we must say.

Salman took to Twitter and shared the first look of the actress. He called her 'raw power'. Check it out here:

'Race 3' is helmed by ace choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D'Souza and boasts of having an ensemble star cast. Besides Salman, Jacqueline, the film features Daisy Shah, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem etc to name a few.
The action thriller is the third part of the super hit 'Race' franchise. The two parts had Saif Ali Khan play the male lead. Now, Sallu Bhai has stepped into this shoes and it will be interesting to see how he plays it.
The film is produced by Tips Films and Salman Khan Films. It is slated to hit the screens on this Eid.

Kevin Nolan has done a seemingly premature departure from Newcastle this summer, with two years still left on his contract.
Steven Taylor – new Newcastle captain?
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew will now need to pick a new captain before the season starts on August 13th – unlucky for some.
Newcastle do have some decent candidates already at the club in Joey Barton, Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini.
Ivory Coast International Cheick Tiote could also be in the frame, although it would be a surprise if Cheick got the nod from Pardew.
We have no idea what Alan is thinking on this topic, since it's still a bit of a shock that Kevin left so quickly last week, and to play in the Championship with Sam Allardyce at West Ham, seems more than strange.
We'll also include Ben Arfa, since we see a few of the readers bought his name up in a previous discussion on this, and he could also be our best player next season.
We'll also put in an unnamed candidate – a player who is yet to arrive at the club.
The candidates will also include Joey Barton, although we expect Joey to be moved out this summer, and even if he stays we don't think Pardew will give the captaincy to somebody who will be leaving next summer, at the latest.
We'll include Yohan Cabaye, our new signing from Lille, since the Frenchman seems tot have good leadership abilities.
Each reader has a single vote.
Who Will Be Newcastle's Captain Next Season?
- Steven Taylor (35%, 939 Votes)
- Fabricio Coloccini (31%, 850 Votes)
- Joey Barton (20%, 537 Votes)
- Cheick Tiote (5%, 134 Votes)

very very good read hahahahaha entertainment value indeed
it says naylor might be off to everton instead
I can see Taylor being a good captain but even though this sounds a bit contradictive i dont even want him playing in the first team. I think we could sign a better player than him quite easily and not for a huge sum of money. For me its got to be Barton i think, i know hes only here for a season but we all know he can take a captains role and will be the gel for the newer players and older ones. We can then asess throughout the season who of our new players could fill the role for next season, tiote would be a good choice i think as he will hopefully be much better with his english by then and obviously can speak french aswell so the rest of our french international team can understand him too.
You need someone in the Nolan mould.
Someone who will literally kick arse and carry players on and off the pitch when required!!
Someone who knows what pulling the black and white shirt on means to the fans.
A fist clenching, teeth gritting animal who will get stuck in and protect his team mates when neccessary……..
Not many like that left at the club im afraid.
Collo is no good, he is classed as the quiet man at the club, along with tiote!!
Taylor has an opinion of himself and himself only.
Bartoon on the way out with Jonas (As predicted on twatter, eat your heart out warris the arris)
IF and its in capitals coz its a big IF, we get rid of Enrique, Bartoon and Jonas…….
That will be the backbone of the team gone and bringing in a load of frenchmen (Not sying they are poor players) to kick of ftheir season against a very settled team in Arsenal and then the Scum who will turn the game into a war…….well. I fear for us in our first few games….games we should be looking to dominate and win!!
New players take time to settle, wholesale changes are wrong, no matter how you look at it!
If he gets the armband he will have a sense of responsability so it could help him get less yellows, hes also our best player so will be able to lead by example on the pitch.
Didnt Nolan get 10 yellow cards last season so he must of missed at least 3 games through suspension. Tiote missed 6 i think because of the red card vs Stevenage so hes not that agressive.
tbh you cant go wtih Barton without renewing his contract so hes out, the rest dont speak english so stevie taylors out….
collo doesnt speak french so hes out, cabaye is to quiet as is ben arfa, new player is too speculative so im going for not sure.. i think he makes the perfect captain by the means of deduction
HATEM BEN ARFA — he seems to know all the french players — we might have a whole new except 3 or 4 players staying in the first 11 …. didnt he have something to do with cabaye and ba and abeid signing for us .. obviously he is influential.. obviously best player in our team .. it might give him more confidence and make him into a better player …
With all these changes, and Ashley and lapdog Pardew obsessed with ripping the spine and spirit outta the club I'm fearing for our league position next season. Think we'll be making a few steps back before we'll move forward again.
They want to make TOO MANY changes too soon which is not good. All of these untried french players we're gonna get ripped apart by Arsenal and the scum in August. Come winter time they're all gonna shy away as it'll be too cold for them (cue gloves leggings and snoods)
Thing is Tiote has a reputation now so he will get yellow cards regardless as they come with the position he plays in. He will also be away for the Afican Cup for atleast a month so add that on top of his bans and its adding up.
He also isn't a leader on the pitch possibly you could argue that he wasent because he was alongside Nolan but Barton comes accross as a leader in the same team.
Sorry like Tiote is a no go imo
Honestly, what the hell is happening at our club? Clearly those in charge have no idea how building a team works.
Can someone tell me why (if it is true) we are willing to listen to offers for Jonas??
We might as well tell Enrique to leave if that's the case.
I honestly would not like to see any of the names mentioned as our captain. Taylor most likely, purely because he's a Geordie.
Ben Arfa was our best player, but he relied so much on skill that having not touched a football for 8 months could have detrimental effects on his ability.
Taylor needs a full season in the team.
Hopefully he'll be able to play alongside Colo.
We really don't need to be changing more than one player in a back four.
But this is silly season. A major unplanned clear out seems under way.
Who's the best 24 year-old centre-back in La Ligue with a 50 Euro buy-out-clause?
Sell Willo, get two French lads for the price of one.
Younger, better, cheaper …
Repeat it 100 times before you go to bed. Best not let the wife hear you …

To ensure the finest taste and texture possible, he also used the method of slow cooking in copper pans.
His idea has led to the creation of barley sugar drops in large jars, which are proven to alleviate symptoms of travel sickness. It was particularly effective to the Royal Air Force crew who went on high altitude missions.
Later on, he developed his product into powdered sweets in 8oz travel tins, thus creating the term travel sweets. In fact, the tins were developed so that the sweets would remain fresh for years. Eventually, it became the brand's iconic symbol.
Because of the unique and high quality taste of the product, Simpkins effortlessly supplied travel sweets all over the United Kingdom in no time. In February 2009, he even won the best new British product at the Cologne confectionery show for his Dr. Stuart range of herbal sweets. And now, Simpkins exports its quality sweets to over 40 countries throughout the world.
Good thing you don't have to travel too far to get a taste of the world's all-natural and original English travel sweets, because it is readily available at Landers Superstore. It comes in a lot of flavors and variants such as Ginger Fruit Drops, Mixed Fruit Drops, Invigorating Mint Selection, Citrus Lemon & Sour Cherry, Lemon Honey and Chamomile Drops, and Sugar & Gluten Free Mixed Fruits. Go grab a tin or two for sweet travels!
