Seems I'm in this for a hot second. I remember being asked to participate one day on the street in front of the bookstore where I work. I didn't think to ask what it was for, or even so much as the name of the song or the band. Didn't want to be late coming back from lunch. Silly bugger. The very nice young woman with the green hair also featured herein happens to work at Magus Books. She mentioned she'd seen me. Told me the name of the band, and here we are.
I bet Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli adores our new Betty MacDonald fan club honor member.
I've read some of Tatjana Geßler's books and I like them very much.
We are so happy that Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli is back.
Let's have breakfast at the bookstore with Brad and Nick.
Enjoy Betty MacDonald's very beautiful Vashon Island, please.
Jamie-Lee might be the next ESC 2016 winner but my favourites are Poland and Spain.

Take care,
Jana

During the Seattle event, festival-goers of all ages have an opportunity to enjoy many activities – all with a “French” twist: live music, theater and dance performances, French cuisine, book sales, informative seminars and demonstrations, “best baguette” contest, games and more.
The event also features a unique Career Expo (Salon de l’Emploi) with the participation of local and international companies seeking French speakers and workshops led by employment professionals.
The event is organized by the nonprofit organization, France Education Northwest, with the support of Seattle Center FESTÁL, the French-American Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Northwest, the Consular Agency of France in Seattle, Coca-Cola, Alaska Airlines, T-Mobile and other key supporters.

For
85 minutes, the awkward prospect of Manuel Pellegrini outrunning Pep
Guardiola in the Champions League was amusingly real. For just as long,
Guardiola faced the extraordinary possibility of being cast as a Bayern
Munich failure.
That
is the strange lot for a man who looks set to collect a third straight
Bundesliga title but whose appointment three years ago was based on the
greater brief of winning the Champions League. Cleaning up domestic
business is nice and expected; winning in Europe is all that ever really
mattered.
On
Wednesday night, that almost came crashing down in a weird and
wonderful match between the best of Italy and the best of Germany.
Juventus crushed Bayern for more than an hour and led by goals from Paul
Pogba and Juan Cuadrado, giving them a 4-2 aggregate lead.

How
undignified it seemed that the man who is coming to Manchester City
this summer would exit the Champions League before Pellegrini.
But then came the glorious fightback.
Robert
Lewandowski gave Guardiola’s side a lifeline with a 72nd-minute header
and Thomas Muller scored in stoppage time, taking the game into
extra-time. A pair of crosses and a pair of headed goals; it’s not
Guardiola football as we know it, but it did the job.
Just
like that, 2-0 down on the night had become 2-2 and that became 4-2 up
with excellent extra time goals from Guardiola’s substitutes, Thiago
Alcantara and Kingsley Coman, the latter a Juventus player on loan in
Germany. Brilliantly dramatic.
And
all this in a tie that had already had its share of swings in the first
leg. Bayern, remember, had led 2-0 in Turin only to draw 2-2. A pair of
away goals ought to have given them the edge in Munich last night, or
at least a slight feeling of comfort.
The
opposite was true. Whatever was Guardiola’s plan, it went horribly,
woefully wrong. They faced a Juventus side determined to swamp the
midfield and squeeze the life out of Bayern’s defence, which is
precisely what happened.
The
opening goal, scored after only six minutes, was a calamity of Bayern
mistakes from a pair of players in Manuel Neuer and David Alaba who tend
to make so few. Tellingly, they were mistakes made in panic.
Sami Khedira was the creator, in so much that he hit an excellent throughball that ultimately led to the goal.
But
before it reached Pogba, Neuer made the rash decision to sprint from
his goal for a ball that Alaba was better placed to deal with. Alaba
hesitated as his goalkeeper closed in, allowing Stephan Lichtsteiner the
opportunity to beat both men to the punch and square to Pogba. With the
goal vacated, the former Manchester United midfielder threaded a shot
between two covering defenders and Bayern were behind.
Muller shouted and sang along with supporters as the rest of the Bayern Munich sat and looked on from the Allianz Arena pitch

That
strike could be chalked down to errors and a second almost followed in a
similar vein, with Neuer scuffing a clearance and Morata scoring, only
to incorrectly judged offside.
That
was a let off for Bayern, but Juventus made it 2-0 soon enough with a
quite brilliant counter-attacking goal created by the brilliance of
Morata and buried wonderfully by Cuadrado.
Morata almost scored an exceptional third close to the hour, which coincided with the great recovery.
With
18 minutes to play, Douglas Costa, impressive on the right in place of
Arjen Robben, who had a cold, sent over a brilliant cross and
Lewandowski headed his eighth goal in eight Champions League games this
season. Basic, direct stuff from a club that can elaborate with the best
of them.
The
kicker was that they did again in stoppage time. Excellent substitute
Kingsley Coman crossed from the right in stoppage time and Muller won
the header. Guardiola was a picture of waving arms and wild eyes.
The
effect was greater in extra time. Thiago put Bayern ahead in the 108th
minute and Coman scored moments later. Two fine goals, one big impact.
Guardiola, one of the great managers football has known, is not a failure just yet.

not at full strength, battered Bayern for most of the game. The crucial
( not offside ) goal that would have made it 3-0 was denied by yet
another dire decision.
Gutted. Went to bed at the 85th minute :(
Juve you are not the last club or country who got müllered . This guy is unbelievable
How
is that Cuadrado, who is one of the worst players I have ever seen in a
Chelsea shirt in 40 years, looks half decent playing for Juve?
Bayern for champions league
Firstly
I think Pep is an excellent manager and tactician proven last night.
The one thing that he could do that Allegri couldn't however was have an
impact from the bench. Juve were already without 3 starters in
Chiellini, Marchisio and Dybala. I don't rate Manzdukic, he's heavy on
his feet and doesn't have the pace of Morata that caused Bayern so many
problems in the first half. The offside goal ultimately was a game
changer as Bayern could not have come back from a 3 goal half time
deficit proven by it taking them 72 minutes to score. To anyone that
says we would have parked the bus after 2 if you'd watched the first
half you would have seen that actually we were still pressing after we
got the second and it could easily have been 3 or 4 by half time. FACT.
I'm a massive Juve fan and proud of what we achieved last night. We took
one of the worlds best teams to the brink, we are pretty much written
off beforehand. I'm gutted we couldn't hang on but proud of how my team
played. FORZA
Juve
will feel hard done by getting so close to knocking out Bayern but that
turn around was simply incredible. Bayern vs Barca final hopefully.
If Morata had stayed on....Bayern would be out !!!
Evra
should have kicked that ball on the stands !!! Everybody knows that if
you are winning on the 91st minute you have to stop playing football
!!!!
Muller,
the killing machine! that boy is Germany's finest ever! scores final,
world cup, european cup, champions league, he doesnt stutter or panic!
is unbelievable he doesnt even look like a footballer with his socks
down to his ankles! Amazing player!
