LOS ANGELES — A cute outcast living in the outskirts of Hollywood has a tough time in her suburban high school because she loves to wear vintage prom dresses and her jeans jacket, watch old films and basically dance to her own beat.
Are these the liner notes for the 1986 teen angst classic film "Pretty in Pink?" Try the life and times of Jennifur Brandt. But instead of getting the guy she likes at the end of the film, this effervescent former self-anointed "dork" is making a modern move in the girl-power age, building an empire from a hobby she started at 16 to escape her classmates' torment.
Brandt began her career by cutting, pasting and copying her thoughts and dreams and Fifties-era beauty tips into a 'zine entitled "Pesky Meddling Girls." The collage pages fulfilled her "dream of being the editrix of my own fashion magazine," she recalled. They also resonated among readers beyond the circle of "freaks" who were her friends.
The girlie-heavy issues, which Brandt published at home on her parent's Xerox machine two to four times a year, quickly attracted hundreds of fans by word of mouth. Within the first couple of years, copies landed in the hands of designer Anna Sui — who commissioned Brandt to design two T-shirts for her collection — and shoe maven Steve Madden, who hired her and her younger sister, Lizzie Brandt, to design, photograph and model for a magalog advertorial inserted in Seventeen magazine.
Other well-known readers have included David Bowie, Marilyn Manson and Drew Barrymore, who befriended Brandt in elementary school when the two were fellow outcast classmates and who continues to lend her support with endorsements.
Now, Brandt has attracted the attention of Warner Bros. Consumer Products Studio. They are kicking off the relatively nascent enterprise with a book that was published last December, a television show under development, games and an initial rollout of a half-dozen apparel and accessory licenses all under the Pesky Meddling Girls brand.
The tween-targeted merchandise is conservatively expected to rake in $4 million in its first year, starting with the upcoming back-to-school season.
Next month, Brandt starts a column for Teen Style magazine, and negotiations are under way to extend the Pesky presence to other media outlets. On the Internet, Webisodes, a snippet of a television series now in development, are slated to debut on the Pesky Meddling Girls page of acmecity.com.
If it all sounds like a movie, consider Brandt's modus operandi, also the title of the book published by Warner Books, "Life Is a Movie Starring You: The Pesky Meddling Girls Guide to Living Your Dreams." The soft workbook is filled with 136 pink, yellow and blue pages of information, advice and collages that appeared in the 'zines. There's an interview with Sui and how to choose a theme song for getting prepped in the morning.
"'Life is a movie starring you' means you can create your own destiny," Brandt said last week, perched on an Art Deco sofa in the movie-poster decorated Pesky office. "You can be different characters every day, whatever you feel like being. It's your life. It's not about being famous. It isn't about going out on auditions and being an actress. It's just symbolic of a different way you can think about living life. You can be your own writer, director, producer and star."
The "office" is part of the North Hollywood house where she grew up and where she lives with her business partners and parents, Moira and Larry Brandt. Her photographer sister Lizzie, 23, lives in San Francisco. Despite living in the entertainment industry capital and Jennifur's cameo in the film "Clueless" — a gig she landed when one of the film makers got a copy of the 'zine — this isn't the Southern California cliche of stage parents grooming their little girl to become a star.
Though her parents have been licensing consultants in the entertainment industry for 15 years, they point out that the possibilities of their daughter's 'zine didn't hit them until two years ago.
"Once we had the initial meeting at Warner Bros. and they wanted to do the book, I think my dad realized this wasn't a hobby anymore," Jennifur said. "Watching my parents in the licensing business also fueled me because I saw the problems they were having with licenses and people trying to create stuff that didn't have any content behind it which would then fail."
The Brandts have orchestrated first-tier licensing deals for handbags, room accessories and rainwear with Pyramid Accessories; footwear with ES Originals; apparel done by Evy of California; underwear and hosiery with Handcraft; headwear by Drew Pearson; jewelry and accessories with Designs by Skaffles; sleepwear by Wormser, and games of the board, card, hand-held and electronic variety with Mattel.
As the initial wave of product — designed by Jennifur and overseen by Moira as creative director — hits retailers this summer, there lingers a genuine sense of disbelief from Larry that the source has been under his roof and nose all these years.
"It always amazes me when we get into these [licensing] meetings and they ask for ideas and she takes out 10 pages of research that she's done," Brandt said. "It happened at Mattel this week with the games. She gave them a whole agenda. They were blown away. I'm still amazed."
Focus groups are now reviewing game ideas that could be ready by next year, he said, as will product from a second swell of licensed deals being finalized at press time and in the next months.

Over Easy – the Pope, Pot, and Muddy Waters
7:55 am in Uncategorized by KrisAinTX
Good morning everyone. It's expected to reach high 70s to low 80s today in Central Texas, so I'll be joining you all in shorts and a tee-shirt. Jealous?
Caving to steady pressure from parents and school administrators, Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams granted a one-year "pause" on a rule that would count STAAR (State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness) test scores as 15% of 9th and 10th graders overall grade. Lawmakers are expected to water down or eliminate the rule when they meet in January of next year. Any blow to standardized testing = win.
Esquire's Charles P Pierce opines that education reform, and not immigration or social issues, is the next target of the GOP.
Ontario teachers' unions are poised to walk out next week in protest of Bill 115, which gives the government the power to "impose wage agreements, cut the number of teachers' sick days and block strikes or lockouts". This has prompted Laurel Broten, a liberal politician and Education Minister for the Province, to blame union leadership. The Canadian Rahm Emanuel, anybody?
Peter Dreier at Huffington Post – 50 Young Progressive Activists Who Are Changing America. I didn't make the list. He must not be familiar with my work.
There is mounting pressure on Universities, from their own students, to divest from fossil fuel companies. 350.org is organizing the campaign. 72% of Harvard students recently voted for their school to divest. The University essentially told them to shut up.
Gabriella Coleman, an anthropologist, spent 3 years living with hackers. Cool interview with her from Wired. (Yes, I believe that most hackers are activists. Hacktivists.)
Grab Bag
Former Microsoft Exec to Launch High-End Pot Business. Capitalism and legal pot! Let's see how this works out.
For anyone who cares (or cares to troll him… *winky face*), the Pope is now on Twitter.
Everyone should listen to this, just because Muddy Waters was so damn cool.
See you in the comments!

Up for sale is the exact same brush as this:
It was a gift from Vulfix that I have used 3 times. It's a beautiful brush with a nice, medium density knot. I'm selling because I have too many shaving brushes and I'm getting a gift brush from a different manufacturer to rope me in, for the site. Besides, my wife thinks I'm crazy...oh, I might have a couple different brushes coming up soon, in very good, but used condition.
*This might seem strange to many of you, but the shaving forum guys know how normal this is to buy and sell a used brush. I can sanitize it for you in anti-bacterial soap, then shampoo, or you can do it yourself, for peace of mind.
Price: $20USD plus $10 for shipping

Egan-Jones Joins Glass Lewis in Recommending that Mentor Graphics Shareholders Vote for the Election of all Mentor Graphics' Board Nominees
Two Leading Proxy Advisory Firms Recommend Shareholders Reject All Three of Icahn's Nominees
Egan-Jones Recommends Shareholders Vote the WHITE Proxy Card Today
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 03, 2011 - Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that proxy advisory firm, Egan-Jones Proxy Services ("Egan-Jones"), has joined proxy advisory firm, Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), in recommending that Mentor Graphics shareholders support all of the company's nominees and reject all of Carl Icahn's nominees.
Egan-Jones, in its May 03, 2011 report, states:
"We believe that voting AGAINST the dissidents' Nominees is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. In arriving at that conclusion, we have considered the following factors:
- Our belief that the dissidents' plan and ideas will not improve the Company's shareholder value and are detrimental to the shareholders' interests.
- We are not persuaded that election of any members of the dissidents' slate of nominees to the Company's board of directors would work to the benefit of the shareholders.*
"We are pleased that Egan-Jones has joined Glass Lewis in its recommendation that Mentor Graphics shareholders vote for all of the company's nominees," said Walden C. Rhines, CEO and chairman of Mentor Graphics. "The Mentor Graphics Board unanimously believes that the continued execution of its strategic plan offers the greatest value to all Mentor Graphics shareholders. The company urges shareholders to reject Icahn's nominees, who are advanced on Icahn's risky platform of putting the company up for public sale, which is likely to damage the shareholder value that Mentor Graphics has created."
The Mentor Graphics Board and management team have combined their strategic vision with disciplined financial execution which has reduced Sales, General & Administrative expense as a percentage of revenue by 500 basis points on a non-GAAP basis over the last two years. Mentor Graphics expects higher revenues, greater earnings and improved operating margins in the current fiscal year.
The Mentor Graphics Board of Directors urges shareholders to vote FOR the company's highly qualified director nominees on the WHITE proxy card today.

You Know that would geting awsome? To get Steam OS on the Game Cube or Wii (Debian Linux Gamer os ;) )
Took a bit of time to install, but once it's on it worked well. Be aware that it can't tell the difference between primary and secondary RAM, that it's no longer supported, that it's an old Debian and sometimes WiFi breaks so you need to reboot. But those are only small niggles when you consider what you get - Linux on the Wii :-)
good job
Very Nice Project !!My Project is based with your Whiite Linux :-) I make a userfriendly Whiite Linux with updated packages system files apt-get list... I realy like your project.But please fix ping.When i start ping ,pinging wont stop....

I snagged some Ergon grips from my buddy Mark a couple of months ago and I've drank the kool-aid, they rule. �It seems Ergon makes countless models of these things with mostly minor differences, but the key thing Ergon grips share is a flatter surface for your hand and many models have integrated bar ends.

Mentor Graphics Announces Integrations with Key UGS Products and Streamlines the Electro-Mechanical Product Development Process
Mentor Graphics and UGS have developed a tight integration between UGS TeamCenter and Capital Manager to allow electrical design and harness data to be published into TeamCenter. This integration exploits TeamCenter's role as a corporate engineering data repository and allows it to be used as a conduit for electrical data passing between organizations (e.g. from OEM to supplier) or between applications (e.g. between CHS and UGS NX). Publishing data into TeamCenter also allows customers to generate a complete bill-of-material, both mechanical and electrical, and enables better interaction between domains - thus reducing errors and allowing early exploration of system architectures and interactions between mechanical and electrical domains.
Mentor Graphics has also developed integrations between Capital Manager and the UGS NX and I-Deas applications to enable rapid exchange of data between these systems. The design of harnesses in complex electromechanical platforms such as automobiles, aircraft and trains requires tight collaboration between the mechanical and electrical CAD applications to reduce the design time, support concurrent engineering and increase design quality. Mentor Graphics has achieved this with a series of UGS MCAD integrations that can exchange wiring, topology and mechanical harness descriptions between the applications.
"Tight interoperability in the customer's electro-mechanical design environment is a mandate for successful electrical CAD applications," said Nick Smith, product director in Mentor Graphics Integrated Electrical Systems Division. "IESD has focused tremendous energy over several years to deliver best-in-class applications across the entire system-to-harness flow and its ECAD data management needs. The UGS related products which we have released and the strength of our partnership with UGS further enhances our positions as leaders in this field."

During the past week, my husband seems to have adopted new sleeping habits – those I would compare to that of a newborn. He's asleep by 8 p.m., up at various times throughout the night and napping throughout the day. (Did I mention he's spent most of his Friday and Saturday night napping in his recliner?) But I shouldn't be so hard on him, with calving season now underway on the Sawyer farm, he's has the added responsibility of the night shift and most nights his "checks" have turned into four-hour babysitting sessions.
As I explained in my previous post, our heifers started calving last weekend and have continued delivering new calves all week. Thus far, we have welcomed about 20 new faces to the farm. Some have come during the daylight hours but an equal amount have chosen the cold, windy hours of the night to make their grand entrance. While most mothers have delivered their young without assistance or complications, a few have required help and the watchful eye of my husband and his father.
Derek begins the night shift about 10 p.m. and most nights has spent four to five hours at our cattle facilities watching and helping the new mothers and welcoming calves to the world. It would be easy to call it a night about 10 p.m. and assume everything will work itself out but saving only one baby calf makes the long nights, and even longer days, worth it.

Breast Cancer: New Ways to Beat the Odds
There's a lot of advice out there. Some of it is right on target but some isn't. Here's the latest on what really works
Special Offers
News flash! A mammogram isnt enough. You need a breast MRI too. Hold it! You dont even need a yearly mammogram. News flash! A high-fat diet definitely contributes to breast cancer. Hold it! High fat may not be that bad. Its red meat you have to worry about.
Thats how headlines about breast cancer have been coming at us over the past year. Every study seems to contradict the last. Many of us wonder what if anything to believe. Actually, you can believe a lot. Behind the blare of headlines lies a deepening understanding of breast cancer. If the reports seem confusing, its because experts are realizing more and more that recommendations about prevention, detection, and treatment need to be individualized. Some guidelines apply to every woman, but many dont. Whats right for you? Here, the advice you need now.
Prevention: What Really Helps
Youve probably heard the statistics: Over a lifetime, about one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer. But seven out of eight will not.
Why the difference? Researchers can reel off a list of risk-raising culprits, but pinpointing exactly which ones forever shift the course of a life isnt yet possible. And even if it were, there are some risks that you cant eliminate being female, for example, growing older, family history, flawed genes.
But you can still lower your odds, says Michael J. Thun, M.D., head of epidemiological research at the American Cancer Society. The steps you have to take arent always easy, he acknowledges something that new research shows as well but the payoff can be significant.
Move It (Faster! Harder!)
Swimming laps, doing aerobics, jogging women who engage in strenuous activities like these at least five hours a week, and have done so for most of their adult lives, are 20 percent less likely to develop invasive breast cancer than are sedentary types who get no more than 30 minutes of exercise a week, reports the California Teachers Study, which has been tracking more than 110,000 women ages 20 to 79 since 1995. But the report yielded encouraging news for less-active women: Moderate workouts, like golf or walking, cut the odds of developing one form of breast cancer (estrogen-receptor-negative) for which there are fewer effective treatments.
Action plan: This study is the latest of many to show the benefits of vigorous exercise. Shoot for 45 to 60 minutes of heart-thumping workouts five days a week. Too hard? Start with brisk walks and work up.
Watch the Wine
Women who have more than two drinks a day increase their risk of invasive breast cancer by 43 percent, compared to those who dont drink at all, researchers from the large Womens Health Study recently announced. Lighter consumption is healthier, but risk still inched up by 9 percent among women who averaged just under one drink a day.
Action plan: Theres no way to soft-pedal this: If you really want to minimize your risk of breast cancer, dont drink at all, advises Dr. Thun. Other experts say that if you do drink, make it an occasional treat.
Restock the Fridge
Two large-scale studies this year showed that food choices do affect breast cancer risk. The National
Institutes of HealthAARP Diet and Health Study found that postmenopausal women whose daily diets
average 40 percent fat a very high percentage raise their breast cancer risk 11 percent compared to women whose diets include a lean 20 percent fat. The other study, from England, found that postmenopausal women who eat about 4 or more ounces of red meat daily are 56 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than those who never eat any meat. (Red meat includes beef, pork, and lamb.) Processed meats like bacon, ham, and sausage have an even greater effect, raising risk to 64 percent.
Action plan: Diet studies like these may not be the last word, because so many other factors can confuse the issue. In any case, dietary fat and meat have less impact on breast cancer risk than your weight gain in adulthood experts agree that obesity actually doubles your odds. So paring off extra pounds makes more sense than fussing over red meat ratios. Make fat no more than 30 percent of your daily intake, choose healthier monounsaturated over saturated or trans fats, add whole grains to your diet, and enjoy meat occasionally and in small portions. Fish, beans, and tofu are protein-rich substitutes for meat. And eat colorful (red, yellow, green, orange) cancer-fighting fruits and veggies in supersize portions.

In these cities , currently, there are huge populations of tax ticks that have been this way , and those before them in the family were as well. This was the example set for them. Only way you can possibly improve this ( break the cycle ) ? End all publicly funded Welfare. Simple as that . This is not possible , because the Socialist Politicians are in control ( enablers ) and there are enough recievers to out vote those that pay . The takers , out number , the producers.

Barry Callebaut AG increases operating profit by 13% and net profit for the year by 8%
• Sales revenue increases by 6% to CHF 2,548.6 million
• Sales volume increases by 5% to 787,302 tons
• Operating profit (EBIT) increases by 13% to CHF 168.0 million
• EBIT per ton increases by 8% to CHF 213.40
• Net profit increases by 8% to CHF 97.1 million
• Company processes 14% of the worldwide cocoa harvest
• Retirement of Klaus J. Jacobs and Dr Gaudenz Staehelin from the Board of Directors
• Election of Dr Christian Jacobs and Rolando Benedick proposed
• Dividend increase proposed from CHF 6.50 to CHF 6.70 for each registered share
Zurich/Switzerland, November 20, 2001 – Barry Callebaut AG, the worldwide leading manufacturer of cocoa and chocolate products, increased sales revenue in fiscal year 2000/01 to August 31 by 6% to CHF 2,548.6 million. This means that the company grew twice as fast as the overall market (plus roughly 2%). A solid operating profit (EBIT) of CHF 168.0 million, or 13% more than the previous year, translates to an EBIT of CHF 213.40 a ton, or 8% higher than the previous year. Net profit rose to CHF 97.1 million (+8%). It did not increase at the same rate as EBIT, largely due to higher financing costs entailed by the full consolidation of strategic cocoa positions. Total assets were reduced by almost CHF 180 million. The debt-to-equity ratio fell to a satisfying 113%, compared to 159% in the previous year. The equity ratio increased to 34%, from 29% in the previous year.
Business Unit Development
The Chocolate for Industrial Clients (Food Manufacturers) business unit increased its sales by 2% to CHF 1,416.6 million, or 56% of total sales, based on solid sales growth of almost all products, particularly in Europe. With a worldwide increase in chocolate consumption of roughly 2%, Barry Callebaut is targeting a higher rate of growth than that and a simultaneous reduction of costs. The concentration of the client base on ever fewer large clients continues. Barry Callebaut has successfully exploited this development for some time as an opportunity by positioning itself as a know-how partner and service provider for the globally active food industry. The focus of the business development effort will be on premium and health-promoting products, such as chocolate without added sugar.
Gourmet & Specialities (Food Service), which supplies special products to artisanal users, such as chocolate makers, confectioners, hotels and restaurants, increased sales by 10% to CHF 636.5 million. The main reason for the increase was above-average growth in premium specialties. This business unit, which was deliberately pushed hardest during the year, is already contributing 25% to Group sales. In the next few years, Barry Callebaut is targeting above-average growth in the sector, compared to overall market growth. Additional potential has been identified in North and Latin America, in particular. Opportunities are also to be found in the trends towards healthy and health-promoting nutrition and towards convenience food that requires no further processing by their artisanal or private users.
The figures for the Consumer Products are incorporated in the Gourmet & Specialties area. The Consumer Products business area was converted into an independent unit in July 2001. It encompasses niche products that are sold in some European and African countries through selected distribution channels, and represents an extension to our strategic customer segments.
In the Cocoa & Sourcing (Risk Management, Sourcing & Semi-Finished Products) business unit, the most important products are cocoa liquor, cocoa butter and branded cocoa powder. Around half of production is supplied to third parties and half processed further by the company itself. Sales to third parties increased by 12% to CHF 495.5 million, or 19% of total sales, although volume declined by 3%. This is a consequence of higher prices of cocoa powder, of cocoa bean sales as well as of the deliberate reduction of sales to third parties. Costs in the Sourcing area were further reduced by the worldwide central procurement system implemented in recent years. As part of its geographical risk diversification, Barry Callebaut established a new production facility in Ghana. In order to exploit the potential for profitable premium products, the procurement of organic cocoa beans direct from producers and small cooperatives was increased in order to ensure a consistently high quality.
Market Development
The world economy has been slowing down, especially in the final quarter of the year under review.
Western Europe is Barry Callebaut's most important market with sales of 481,024 tons, or 61% of the total. Sales increased by 4% over the previous year. A distribution center was opened in Aalst, Belgium, where all the products manufactured in Europe can be stored under optimum conditions before being shipped all over the world. The facility in Drongen, Belgium, will be closed by the end of 2001, allowing Barry Callebaut to use other existing production capacity more effectively. Sales in Eastern Europe (4% of the total) declined by 2%. The exchange of recipes between the various production facilities will be extended, opening up new sales opportunities at competitive prices.
Sales in the Americas (North and South America) increased by 10%. The share of total volume of the Americas was 27% or 215,743 tons. Barry Callebaut succeeded in both gaining market share and benefiting from increasing health consciousness in North America through the growing use of products with additional benefits, such as organic products, without added sugar, fat-free or high-protein products and products that have not been subject to genetic engineering.
Sales in Asia/Pacific increased by 3%. The share of total sales was 25,164 tons or 3%. Barry Callebaut continues to see great market opportunities in these countries. Africa produced a sales growth of 23%, primarily because of the consolidation of Van Houten for the full year. Barry Callebaut is now present in Senegal, Cameroon and the Ivory Coast with its own production facilities. In the Middle East, Barry Callebaut was faced with some very strong quality and price competition. Nevertheless, sales volume remained stable. The region contributed 5% or 35,893 tons to total sales.
Strategic concentration to ensure long-term growth
In the future, Barry Callebaut will continue to focus on driving forward its growth in high-quality products and services in the chocolate and gourmet areas. In the
Chocolate for Industrial Clients (Food Manufacturers) area, the focus will be on the reinforcement of cost leadership in combination with the provision of further services. The Gourmet & Specialties (Food Service) will place an increased emphasis on innovative, high-value, high-margin products and services. In the Cocoa & Sourcing (Risk Management, Sourcing & Semi-Finished Product) area, there will be a reduction in the share of the business of cocoa products for third parties, while retaining the existing know-how throughout the entire value chain by producing for the company's own needs. This will further reduce the exposure to fluctuations in the price of semi-finished products. Barry Callebaut wants to use these measures to secure sustainable quality growth for the whole Group.Tax claim in the Ivory Coast
During the year under report, the Ivory Coast raised a retrospective tax claim in the amount of CHF 247 million for the years 1998-2000 against Barry Callebaut's local subsidiary, as was reported when presenting half-year results. Barry Callebaut does not consider this claim justified and has decided to take appropriate measures to counter this claim. Discussions are still going on.
Proposals to the Annual General Meeting
At the Annual General Meeting on December 13, 2001, Mr Klaus J. Jacobs and Dr Gaudenz Staehelin will retire from the Board of Barry Callebaut AG. It is proposed that Dr Christian J. Jacobs, designated Chairman of the Board of KJ Jacobs AG, in Hamburg, Germany, and Mr Rolando Benedick, in Basle, Switzerland, CEO of Manor AG, be elected to the Board of Directors. The Board further proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend increase from CHF 6.50 to CHF 6.70 for each registered share.
For the year 2001/02, Barry Callebaut expects a further strengthening of operating performance. The short-term effects of the present economic slow-down cannot be estimated with precision. In light of the continuing structural changes in the cocoa and chocolate industries, Barry Callebaut is confident that the measures that have been taken will continue to enhance its leadership position.

Renée Roulea Soothing Eye Makeup Remover
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Consumer testers were pleased by how easily the Renée Roulea Soothing Eye Makeup Remover cleaned their eye area, saying it left their "eyelids feeling refreshed." Almost all volunteers agreed that this product removed their eye makeup effectively, without leaving any residue or oil. However, some found the formula to be irritating to their eyes after use. Consumer testers didn't love the removers' scent.

City Break
Do not leave Lisbon without tasting coffees and pastries that the city has to offer. Besides the famous Pastel de Belém – a single recipe, only found in one place - treat yourself to the various delicacies and espresso coffee where some of the most important figures of the Portuguese culture spent their days.
The Marquess of Pombal wanted Lisbon to become French in some ways, and it was this idea that led the coffee shops to become privileged meeting points in the 18th and 19th centuries. The tradition has been lost in time, and even though drinking a lot of coffee today is still a habit, they do not spend much time in coffee shops as in other days. Lisbon's most emblematic coffee shops are places mainly visited by tourists. The oldest of the capital has already 218 years and was one of the mandatory stops for the poet Fernando Pessoa. The Martinho da Arcada started off selling ice cream and soft drinks, tea and then toasts roasted on charcoal. Known for its coffee - and also a favorite place of Pessoa - is the Brasileira, who started as a kind of grocery store where coffee was offered, until it became a meeting place of artists and revolutionaries. To try these sweet delicacies of the olden days, you cannot miss the Confeitaria Nacional, which still keeps the secret recipe of the famous Bolo Rei (King cake). Secret is also the recipe for the Pastel de Belém, which is said to be the same as the monks of the monastery used in the early 19th century.

Fall 7v7 Tournaments Conclude
Day 1 of the 7v7 tournaments is in the books, and what a night it was! The evening kicked off with the U11 and U12 girls along with the U11 Swoosh boys contesting an 8 team tournament. After the group stage, the semifinals were set. After 2 very close games (one that ended in a shootout), the Fireballs eventually prevailed in another shootout to win the final. Jaimee Hilton netted the final penalty kick to seal the victory for the Fireballs, amongst loud cheers of "When The Rush Go Marching In" from the 50 screaming players watching the game. In the second tournament of the night, the U11 Nike boys joined the U12 A1 and A2 boys in a 6 team round robin tournament. After the group stage (and a 3-way tie for 4th place that was settled on goal differential), the semifinals were set. Not to let the earlier group outdo them, both semifinals were very close, with one ending in penalties. The final matchup was set. With the championship match at 2-1 deep into the 1 minute of injury time remaining, Harrison Huthoefer collected the ball at midfield and took matters into his own hands, rounding 3 defenders and smashing home the equalizing goal with the last kick of the game. In the ensuing shootout, the Killas eventually won with their 4th shot as they were cheered on by the rest of the boys singing "All You Rush Fans Give Us A Lean"! A good time was had by everyone, and congratulations to our winners. See below for names and photos of the champions!
Day 2 of the 7v7 tournaments started off great, with the U13 and U14 girls playing alongside the U12 Nike and Swoosh Boys. After a very close first round, the semifinals were set. For the first time this fall, both semis ended in regualtion, with the Donuts and the Tigers advancing. Led by repeat champion Angelica Bader, the Tigers avenged their earlier defeat in the group stages to the Donuts with a convincing 6-1 win. In the last tournament of the season, the U13 and U14 boys were joined by the U15 Nike Girls in what would be the most entertaining session so far. Alongside 7 teams made up from this bunch, a team of coaches was a surprise late entry into the group stages. After a hotly contested first round, the coaches narrowly snuck out of their group in second place. After the semifinals, the coaches advanced to play against Fury, the only team to have knocked them off in the first round. In a cagey final, the Fury took an early lead after a questionable decision from the German referee that awarded them an indirect free kick. The coaches battled back, and with 1 minute remaining in the match Dan Highstead teed up a long range effort after a great first touch and smashed home the equalizer to the far post. In the shootout to decide the winner, the coaches got off to a rough start after they blasted their first 2 shots over the bar. The coaches netted their next two shots, and goalkeeper Brian Lux made 2 key saves (the second a brilliant stop on a shot headed to the top left corner) to set the stage for Diego Romero to smash home the final goal that would win the title. Overall the most entertaining and exhilirating final of the week. Congratulations to all the players that participated, to the Fury for taking the coaches down to the wire, and to the coaches for their late game heroics to win the title! See below for pictures of the champions, and we will see you all in the Spring for the next edition of the 7v7 tournaments!

New York: With six albums under his belt and over one million collectively sold in Europe, German's multi-platinum and award-winning reggae artist Gentleman is fired up about his first major North and South America tour this month. The tour billed the "Gentleman & The Evolution Diversity tour," includes a west coast run supporting SOJA that will make stops in San Francisco; Santa Cruz; Hollywood & San Diego, California; Falls Church, Virginia and New York City.
"I am extremely excited about my debut performance in New York, home to the largest Jamaican population in the Diaspora. Any opportunity I get to perform for my Caribbean fans is an opportunity I cherish" the German sinjay noted.
Gentleman's North and South American tour is in support of his VP Records album titled Diversity that was released in February. The international version of the album already sold Gold (more than 100,000 units) and charted at #1 in Germany as well as #2 in Switzerland and Austria and is the follow-up to his Europe platinum-selling record Confidence.
On Diversity, Gentleman stays true to his first musical love – roots reggae – teaming up with top Jamaican recording artist Tanya Stephens; the late Studio One veteran and dancehall pioneer Sugar Minott; Christopher and producers Don Corleon, Red Roze, Shane Brown, Xterminator and Firehouse Crew.
Gentleman, the son of a Lutheran pastor was drawn to reggae's revolutionary spirit and truth-seeking lyrics ever since he was introduced to the island's sounds. He has since had a string of solo hits and platinum-selling records in Europe. He won Best National Artist five times for three different award shows (Echo Award 2003 & 2005, Comet Award 2005, 1Live Radio Award 2004 & 2005) and has been nominated twice for Best Reggae Artist (Martin 2004 Awards and Reggae and Soca Awards). He has collaborated with artists ranging from pop superstars Pink and Destiny's Child to reggae legends Michael Franti & Spearhead and Barrington Levy.
Last summer he teamed with Richie Stephens on the tribute single "Live Your Life" which topped reggae charts in Florida and Jamaica and was voted "Song of the Year 2011″ in New York by Irie Jam Radio. Their follow up single/video 'Warrior,' has already started to make inroads on the play list of stations across the globe.

Sure it had it's flaws, like rotting fence posts, or needing a new coat of paint. But it sure was the perfect place to hang quilts for blog photos, lending its rustic charm.
This fence has been a happy part of our lives this past year. And in some cases, the absence of our fence was an even happier part of our lives.
So here's a little behind the scenes story for you. Summer of '08, after 16 years of faithful service dividing two backyards, the farthest back panel of our fence started to lean in a somewhat scary fashion. While we and the neighbors decided what to do, we just removed that panel - which turned out to be the coolest thing our children had ever seen. Now they suddenly had a 'secret passageway' to our neighbors' backyard. So we left it that way. Because we had the world's greatest neighbors.
Well, Spring of '09 the rest of the fence dividing our yards starts to tip due to rotting posts and one day we came home from church to find a gusty storm had blown some of the panels over. So we had to take the rest of the panels down while we decided what to do. And in the process we created one huge yard. The bad news was my favorite photo spot was removed. The good news was I could sit at my sewing machine in our downstairs family room and watch my children play in the neighbor's yard (which they much preferred to our own.)
The downed fence created a golden, memorable summer. There truly is nothing better in the world that having wonderful next-door neighbors. The kind who make life better and you don't want to share a fence with.
To the right is where the missing fence belonged.
Don't you love that mountain?? I miss that too.
The night I watched the final fence repairs in August I was melancholy. And when I woke-up the next morning and went into my nicely fenced-in yard I felt claustrophobic and full-on depressed. I knew it was the beginning of the end of that sunny period of our lives.
But isn't that the secret of life? Enjoying what that space of time has to offer and opening up our hearts (and fences) to the great people God puts in our path? And now I have a snazzy new fence, with no rotting posts (but no place to shove thumb-tacks either.) I know that after we settle in, we'll find new places to take pictures of quilts and new people to open our hearts too, but I'll always treasure the memories of the summer we lost a fence.
