There's news coming through that Newcastle United have made their first signing of the season, and he's 16 year-old striker Olivier Kemen.
Olivier Kemen – 16 year-old striker form FC Metz
The 16 year-old has signed from FC Metz and he turns 17 next month, and will be part of the Youth Academy at Newcastle and the Development squad – we assume.
He's already played three times for the French U17 side, and previously played for the France U16 side, and we are trying to find out more about him.
Here's an interview the lad gave on Foot Mercado last December:
"I started football at age 8, in La Garenne-Colombes *. Then, at age 14, I went to the Elite 14 in ACBB ** and at the end of the season, I got recruited by FC Metz."
"I had other proposals, such as Lyon, but the project of FC Metz has seduced me. Today I am doing my third year at FC Metz. I play midfield. I take my athletic strength to reach a certain power."
"I'm not clumsy with the ball and try to improve in its use. Alex Song is a player I like a lot because it is very powerful and it is good on the ball with a good view of the game."
"The distance from my family and school and sporting requirements were sometimes a difficult challenge to overcome." " It was not easy." "The structure, coaches, educators, Director, Head of Studies, helped me to move forward."
"But today, I really feel good progress and be on the right track. The atmosphere at the center is positive. I have the soul of a leader I am trying to implement on the ground."
"I help new and I'm listening to the experienced players. "For now, I'm had a very good start, I play 19 national, I meet the requirements of the coach and it allowed me to taste the joys of the France team ."
"I would like to sign a professional contract at the end of the season and continue my progress, and of course proudly wear the blue jersey. I think the FC Metz has a very good fan following, more than 7,000 spectators average is not bad."
"A lot of clubs in L2 would love to be this busy – I know I'm still young, but I feel I am able to meet this challenge "
* La Garenne-Colombes is a community in the northwestern suburbs of Paris.
** Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt or A.C.B.B. is a French sports club based in the suburbs of Paris in the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt.
*** The Coupe Gambardella (Gambardella Cup) is a French football cup competition held between the U-19s of the French football clubs, organized by the French Football Federation.
16 year-old Olivier Kemen – smile you're on Candid Camera
And he says in the above interview he's a midfielder and likes Alex Song, the former Arsenal player who is now at Barcelona, but he's down as a striker everywhere we have found information on him.
Olivier will quickly find out that Newcastle have a much bigger and more passionate fan base than FC Metz, and it looks like he's signed his first professional contract at Newcastle, rather than at Metz.
Let's hope Olivier can be a big success at Newcastle, and we need some young players coming through to the Newcastle first team – we assume we'll soon hear something official on this maybe tomorrow.

Tsunki- nice quote- I think we are in the pits trying to get out. Thought it was very telling that (A) JFK is talking about finding out what is his total budget for transfers from MA next week, I.e. he has happily jumped at the job without javing that confirmed in advance (B) he doesn't
know what Pardew or Carr see as main targets but he thinks he knows better anyway! (C) He is already floating the idea of generating a transfer kitty from sales and only then going after signings. I find all of this very worrying indeed.
Anybody who knows anything about football will raise their eyes about JK being back at SJP. There is absolutely no footballing logic/credibility behind this appointment. It surely can only be a device to sicken Percy -resulting in him resigning. They'll be at each others throats – it cannot endure at all. A sad, sad day for Toon fans.
I think everybody likes Pards a little bit more than they did this morning haha
Also I'm not liking this new wave of Toon fans that have come through now. When I was younger everybody supported this club no matter what happened, through thick and thin, for better for worse! Toon Army for life! All this "I'm done with this club" crap is total bollocks. Mackams deser their club when things get tough, not us!.
Agreed on that one. I can't stand MA, DL, AP or JFK but I will keep following the team but I will need to see MA part with some of his money for transfers before I put any of my money into the club. If the net transfer spend is close to zero then I will not be putting my hard earned cash into the club.
"Just for the record I have never managed a club that has been relegated" – Joe Kinnear.
This is a complete dig at Alan Pardew. I cannot see these two working together with each other.
Also, Joe Kinner said it is 'my job, MY JOB' to go out and 'find' players and then 'sign' them. Is anyone else drastically frightened by this?
I just do not think Kinnear knows anything about the European football markets. So if we sign players they are all going to be British from now on. if not, then I think it is clear that Carr still calls the shots on signings, meaning Kinnear will just pretend he does, in order to justify to the fans, why he is getting paid a large salary by his dear friend Mr Ashley.
Barras – massively frightened by that. Massively. Think we'll be getting tall skinheads from now on.
@AndyNUFC – my point was they were all chuggers who did a decent job for us at the time but none are particularly long term or especially talented or ambitious.
I'm worried about this if he has any power and embrarrassed about it if he doesn't.
After trying to evaluate that in my mind, I think Joe Kinnear will rarely have any say on who we sign. I think Ashley just wanted to hire a friend […] yet again.
Most signings will be inspired by Carr's findings not Kinnear's. But what does it really matter, when we have the Grandmaster of Hoofball and his blind-folded apprentice instructing our old and new players how to play violent hoofball?
Stevenage Magpie @17
You say that when you were younger everyone supported this club whatever happened?
After fifty odd years of solidly supporting and attending this club I remember when fans DIDN'T take things lying down and went after the regimes like Westwood and McKeag with a nasty vengeance. Consistent mass demos outside the ground were enough to get rid of such buffoons at the Toon.
You say you don't like this new wave of Toon fans coming through that moan? It's the wave of current Toon fans who take every kick in the teeth that Ashley gives them and come back for more that I can't abide.
They remind me of those poor kids who get abused physically and mentally by their drunken fathers but who cling to them for love because they are frightened of any alternative.
Stay away – two consecutive games without fans would embarrass Ashley beyond belief. OK he may have your money for tickets already but he wouldn't like the bad publicity for himself and particularly his beloved Sports brand.
As for those saying give Kinnear a chance – will you be saying the same thing when the next dickhead comes along at the head of this club?
I often think the fans at Newcastle get what they deserve.
"I know I've got more knowledge than anyone at Newcastle as a football manager."
I tell you what, If I was Pardew, I'd be ringing his neck after that comment. Very very disrespectful considering he only spent 5 months here.
This clown makes us a laughing stock. He is a tool.
I get the feeling this man has been spouting crap since he left Newcastle and has been "begging" Mike Ashley for a job here since then. Those are very desperate words from a desperate man. I would not trust the bloke as far as I could throw him. Obviously this is the crap he has been spouting to Derek and Mike over his time away from the club. The more I read it, the more I think Derek and Mike have gave him a job to shut the prat up.
To think he has came in and ultimately tried to belittle everyone at the club is a total disgrace. I don't believe for one second this man is going to be able keep quiet in the background. This man is talking as if he is going to be the next manager, and he has took this role because of it.
Makes my skin crawl this bloke. The board have did us no favours what so ever here.
I do hope it works out, but can't help but think this is going to lead to trouble.
I awoke from a sleep and went onto newsnow like i usually do everyday just to see the latest news on newcastle and then i see this tripe on it that joe kinnear is set to return to the club i honestly thought i was still asleep i needed to shake my eyes for a while as i thought i must be hallucinating but unfortuntly not.
this guy cant even pronounce words properly he was interviewed on sky sports news and it started off and he was trying to say dereks last name but he couldnt he didnt know how to hahahahahhaha so he just said mike in the end before he was laughed at the interview was basically all about him and about how amazing he is and what a great manager he is and he will deal with all transfers etc if this is a quick ploy to get rid of pardew without paying him money then get rid of joe for a well payed effort of getting rid of a manager then great then we can get a very good manager then mike ashleys plan would be master class but if it isnt and its me thinking that joe kinnear will be back managing the toon then this is seriously really fuc*** up man i really really love my club i followed them since i knew what football was but this is getting very disgusting indeed and makes me think of the new season as like just fu** it whats the point its just going to be another pointless season for the toon.
atleast us toon fans can stick together thats all we have now to be honest.
also this guy might of brought in nolan and ryan taylor but he also made shay given leave a complete legend at the club because lets face it who would want to play when kinnear is manager
if pardew does get sacked and kinnear is joined expect our technical gifted players like ben-arfa to leave etc
oh wait got to go on joey bartons twitter im sure there is something about this on his twitter i gurrantee it ha i wonde what he will say ha

New job, new home, new city
The Duvall's are busting out of New York! Already?? Yes, let us fill you in.
We originally moved to Albany for my job with a local news station, but after Lucia came into the picture I stopped working. That was about a year ago. Despite this, we were really ready to give Albany a fighting chance. Our first order of business when we got here was to find a good church. For us this is vital. We love the Lord, he is first and we know the benefits of being in fellowship with other Christians. So we visited churches...and more churches and more churches and after visiting 13...yes 13...we found one that we liked. We faithfully attended every time we were not out of town but after several months we started to feel like it was not a great fit for us. Now, 13 sounds like an insane amount, but friends our criteria was pretty simple! We wanted a church where there was powerful, spirit-filled worship, and a group of people who were sold out for Jesus ready and willing to live for him and follow the lead of the spirit...and not the lead of people...unfortunately that is very hard to find. Don't get me wrong, we met a lot of nice people, and our few church friends were very kind and wonderful to us, but it just never felt right. So that was strike one for Albany.
Strike two was a simple one...we were too far from my family. The three hour trip, now with a newborn and two very tired parents became unbearable. Lucia is the best thing that has every happened to us...but dang...this girl hates sleep. When we visit family, my mother relives us a night or two and gives us much needed rest. With sweet Lucia here and the plan for more little Duvall's, we knew we needed the support of family.
Strike three, Josh's job. Josh had a great job at a financial firm, with the hopes of taking it over after his boss retired. Yet, after a year of working there he knew it was not the place God wanted him to stay in long-term.
When we moved here we really felt like the Lord wanted us to be here...for so many reasons that were made very clear to us, but now it was time to get-to-stepping. So Josh began to look for a job. We prayed for direction and we prayed for open and closed doors. After several weeks of searching and several interviews Josh found an awesome position with a financial firm in Philadelphia! Josh will fill you in on this...
As many of you know, I recently completed all of the requirements to earn the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation which is the "gold standard" for Financial Advisors in the United States. This isn't the biggest change that has occurred for me though. Getting an offer from Cordasco Financial Network was also a great accomplishment. As a Financial Advisor with CFN, I'll be a member of a small team which helps plan for and manage our clients financial lives, to the tune of half a Billion dollars. On top of this, I'll also be assisting the firm with their marketing and social media efforts, which if you haven't realized already, I really enjoy doing (#makeaplan). Although this is the biggest opportunity in my professional life, I think I am equally if not more excited about the new personal developments as well. Lisa and I will be first-time homeowners and are finally in a position to put down roots and establish our family in a local community and church fellowship.
Ok back to me...Philadelphia fit what we were looking for. A bigger city, much closer to family, close to the beach and many more bible-believing churches. So in the beginning of December Josh accepted the job ...then it was crunch time. The lease on our apartment was ending Dec 31 and we were so tired of renting. We had attempted, at one point, to buy a home in Albany but it just never worked out despite our valiant effort. We thought though, 'hey lets try again around Philadelphia and maybe, just maybe we would find something in time!' We knew we wanted to live in Cherry Hill, NJ, a suburb outside of Philly and we knew the neighborhood we wanted to be in, so we found an awesome realtor and narrowed our search. After two trips down and seeing about 20 homes, we found the house we could see ourselves growing into. So we pulled the trigger and put in an offer...and it was accepted! Fortunately, the seller and original owner of the home agreed to a January 15 closing date so yes, it is all happening very quickly. Everything went well with the inspection, there are just a few things the seller needs to fix so hopefully everything continues to go smoothly!
We are so excited to finally put down some roots and get involved in the community and a church...these are so important for Lucia and she is our priority now. Please friends keep us in prayer as we step into this next chapter of our lives. Pray that God will watch over us during the move, fill our new home with his presence and open opportunities for a church family and neighborhood friends....and of course...whenever you want to come visit...give this girl a call and we could go stomp around the City of Brotherly Love!
Here is a picture of our soon-to-be home! When everything is 100% final I will write another blog and give you a tour...I have big plans for this place =)
Thank you family and friends!

The Mississauga Steelheads ended their season on Tuesday after a heartbreaking 5-1 loss in game 7 against the Barrie Colts. Though many didn't think the Steelheads could win the series against the Colts, I always thought they were the more skilled team with so much firepower on the squad, but the lack of experience with such a young team won't bode well with a matured team such as Barrie.
Though it may hurt now, the Steel will be even better next season and here's why:
Mississauga may lose overagers such as Josh Burnside, Jack Flinn, and Mason Marchment, but the Steelheads will be just as good with the sophomore seasons of Ryan McLeod and Owen Tippett coming up.
Though both players didn't get as much time as expected, like every rookie in the OHL, the first season is where you just get your feet wet and get comfortable with the league, then once the second season comes by, that's when you take off, and play like a superstar.
Look at Mikey McLeod, Ryan's brother and fellow teammate. His first season, he plays 62 games he only picks up 29 points, but when this season rolls around he plays in 6 fewer games but amassses 61 points, 32 more than the previous year. With the potential of both McLeod and Tippett, I can see them tearing up the OHL next season.
Not to mention that Tippett is eligible for the draft until next year, and Ryan until 2018, the Steelheads could have this dynamic duo for the next 2- 3 years if Owen doesn't go pro early.
As for next year though, the four draft eligible players on the team, Sean Day, Mikey McLeod, Nathan Bastian, and Alex Nylander should be back. The only player I think I'd worry is Nylander but I believe he'll be back.
With that being said, you'll have the likes of Sean Day manning the back end, the dynamic line of Bastian, McLeod, and Nylander, and behind a stronger, more mature duo of Tippett and Ryan McLeod, makes the Steelheads a Memorial Cup contender.
On another note, after next season when Day, Bastian, Mikey, and Nylander all go pro, the Trout will still have Tippett and Ryan, who will play even better with all those players gone.
The future is bright in Mississauga, Coach and GM James Boyd has done a fantastic job. Don't doubt the trout!

Carter Sinclair Cosmetic Distributor together with their beauty expert, lists some important safety tips when using eye cosmetics.
Keep away from using eye cosmetics if you have an eye infection. Wait until the area is totally healed. Get rid of any eye cosmetics you were using when you got the infection. If any eye cosmetic causes irritation, do not use it immediately. If irritation persists, see a doctor.
Wash your hands before applying eye cosmetics there might be bacteria on your hands that can cause infections. As much as possible, try not to share your cosmetics. Another person's bacteria may be hazardous to you.
Dispose dried up mascara three months after purchase .
Be careful not to scratch the eyeball or other sensitive area when applying or removing mascara.
Don't use any cosmetics near your eyes unless they are intended specifically for that use like using a lip liner as eyeliner.

A pen and pencil set I made for my friend Dan Zimmerlin, who enjoys both rock climbing and trout fishing. Red pen is made from a climbing rope, encased in plastic resin. The "fish pencil" is make from the skin of a trout, encased in plastic.

Wes, what an odd way to run across you. I'm Nancy of Nancy & Francis St. Amant. I found this wonderful pen and pencil set you made Dan wholly by accident. You're certainly looking good!
