This is something about political parties and politicians in Blighty. I have given their Alexa ratings for this day [ 24 October 2005 ]. They indicate the traffic to their sites and the level of interest. A lower number implies more visitors or fraud. You can check their current ratings at are down below with each parties link.
Alexa ratings for 10/5/2008
Tories 150,940 119,561 102,300
Labour 204,892 153,227 143,050
Liberals 201,649 176,781 193,843
Vlaams Belang 13,232,235 211,538
Greens 301,720 331,523 479,663
Plaid Cymru 1,479,242 1,176,056 2,030,747
Monster Raving Loons 3,710,984
Revolutionary Communists 2,534,808
Vlaams Blok 3,030970 2,566,721
Ratings change. The BNP is down but still the most interesting. So is Vlaams Belang and for the same reason. It is under attack from communist subversives, haters of democracy and at least 95% of the political establishment in Belgium. It is not doing badly for a victim of official malice. The UKIP is up.
British National Party 30,318
Is the most interesting party with the most popular site. It is hated passionately by the BBC, Labour Party apparatchiks and Marxists so it must have got something right by being right. They have been subjected to libel, sabotage, malicious prosecution and espionage. The Vlaams Blok in Belgium had similar views and got outlawed after getting 24% of the vote. This indicates a hatred of democracy and a greed for power shared by the left in England.
Conservative Party 102,300
Were the natural party of government and nominally for small government and freedom. It gets called the stupid party and proved it by losing to post Marxists posing as the Labour Party. They still have not worked out what happened to them or why.
Labour Party 143,05
Got taken over by post Marxists using a front man who looked moderate. They are intent on destroying England and democracy. They have almost succeeded.
Liberal Party 193,843
Were the party of choice until the rot set in. Lloyd George liked back handers and fornication. Their corruption has now been surpassed by that of New Labour. They have no political convictions apart from a lust for power and a willingness to say whatever will get them the votes.
Ligali Party
Is a small party of black racists which is allowed to exist without harassment because it is anti-English.
Scottish National Party
Perhaps its apparatchiks do not qualify as traitors but they are keen on bribing Islamics with tax payers' money.
Was set up for a thoroughly reasonable purpose; getting us out of Europe, destroyers of democracy and fraud lovers but it has been used by the Establishment to divert votes from the BNP. It fell apart due to infighting.
UKIP is facing fresh allegations over finances
UKIP is facing fresh allegations over finances. The UK Independence Party was confronted by fresh allegations over its finances yesterday. Tom Wise, one of UKIP's 10 Euro-MPs, is facing an inquiry by anti-fraud watchdogs over European Parliament money........
PS He got two years for thieving.
Green Party 479,663
Is a single issue outfit which is good at making noises but the Alexa rating is a fair indication of its size. It does better in Germany.
Scottish National Party 721,084
Is a left wing nationalist party which is half way reasonable but I seriously doubt that they want real independence. They make too much from English tax payers. They showed us their political credentials with the building of the Scottish Parliament. The cost over run was of the order of 900%. Typical politics. They are keen on pandering to murderous Islamic thugs from Pakistan so the claim that they are nationalists is a lie, communist subversives on the make more like.
Free Life Commentary 928,649
Is a wild card in this listing. It is the mouth piece of what is as near as we have got to a Libertarian Party. It is a worthy cause.
Plaid Cymru 2,030,747
Is another single issue outfit with a small constituency. They push the Welsh language but there is no great interest even in their home land.
The Official Monster Raving Loony Party
Has no Alexa rating which means that it is a low traffic site. The party started as a joke and a publicity stunt for Screaming Lord Sutch. It got votes and some wins. It has some decent people and a sense of humour.
Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)
Has the same rating as the Monster Raving Loony Party. Most of the real subversives have moved into New Labour for the power and the money.
Vlaams Belang
The Vlaams Blok was banned by corrupt government officials in Belgium so it was reborn as Vlaams Belang. It is now the largest party there and still the target of official malice.
Vlaams Blok
Means Flemish Block. It got 24% of the vote in Belgium so the communists changed the law and had them banned by corrupt judges. They morphed into Vlaams Belang and will do well at elections. Belgium is the country that proved its depth of political depravity with the Marc Dutroux affair and its gross perversion of justice to protect his customers.
Ashley Mote
Some of us are lucky when our parents name us. Others are not but he has sound views and was a member of UKIP until some comedian unearthed a bit of paper from years ago. He is being done for fraud. We will see how it goes. Of course Blair's mob do it all the time.
PS He got nine months.
Silvio Berlusconi
Is the Italian prime minister, big in media, trying to beat major fraud raps and colludes with the ADL, a major Zionist front operation based in America. He gives Blair freebies but Blair would presumably claim that these are not bribes. He also used David Mills to set up his international companies. Mills is part of the Labour establishment and married to one Blair's ministers. Why would an Italian crook use an English lawyer to fiddle/facilitate fraud/assist in entirely legitimate business operations [ delete to taste ]?
Blair by Sean Gabb
In part, I say this without irony. Tony Blair is not merely a bad Prime Minister - he is also a profoundly bad man. He is driven by a hatred of England and its people. He is a liar, a traitor, a war monger. He has the blood of thousands on his hands. Not since the time of James II have we had a government directed so plainly to the abolition of our liberties. At no time in our history has an attack on these liberties been so sustained or so successful. So far as he opposes the continual forward drive of the Blair Government, and so far as he might be able to replace it, I welcome the election of Mr Cameron. This is not saying much. Let it be granted that they might combine, and that they might also be able to beat Mr Blair, I should probably welcome a coalition of George Galloway, Abu Hamza and Nick Griffin. The most important short term objective of anyone who cares about England must be to pull down Tony Blair and to execrate his memory.
Josep Borrell [ 21 July 2004 ]
Spanish, ultra leftist with light fingers. Was in line to be the head of the Spanish socialists until he got caught in 1999. Presumably he beat the rap because he got to be the President of the EU.
Gordon Brown
Is a humourless, canting rogue whose approach to fraudulent accounting would disgrace Robert Maxwell and put any honest man in prison. But for him it is legal or he is above the law. He was accused of not being as other men. The allegation is repeated in this source and censored by Her Majesty's Government. They are allowed to know. We are not.
Brown's Henchmen is a listing from The Daily Telegraph of his apparatchiks. He uses some. Others use him to further their agenda and control him through their money. Cohen is one such. The DT does not mention that he is a Zionist or that he is a slob who Picks His Nose In Parliament - see for yourself if you have the stomach for it. He is a spendthrift swine to boot. The poor Queen has to deal with the man. Does he wash his hands first?
David Cameron
Became the leader of the Conservative Party circa November 2005 and immediately abandoned Conservatism. Defending family values and preventing illegal immigration were jettisoned. He is selling the idea that we should encourage immigrants. Appointing one Margo James, a millionaire who proclaims herself a lesbian as vice chairman is a clear signal in favour of vice. Appointing Sayeeda Warsi, a woman who was in the race relations racket as another is also a clear signal. See Only The BNP Now Carry The Torch For Family And Nation!
Bill Clinton
When the main stream media is lavish in its praise it is time to be suspicious. They did not bother to tell us about the fornication and drug use, far less the string of murders that accompanied his career. Ambrose Evans-Pritchard was one honourable exception but he is an Englishman and knew that he could leave. Bloody Bill Clinton gives us some 31 murders around him.
Nick Griffin
Took over the BNP from John Tyndall. He has, we are told, a homosexual past which makes him easy to blackmail and control the BNP. It sounds all too plausible. MI5 played rough in Ireland. England matters more. The Wikipedia is happy to tell you about the dirt - alleged dirt that is. Bringing it out has an advantage. It makes it more difficult to blackmail him.
William Hague
It seems is not just odd looking. Follow the link to see what he has been accused of. HMG doesn't want you to know this which means that you should.
Peter Mandelson
Jew and light fingered rogue who got away with a dodgy mortgage application. How dodgy we were not told. How he get away with it we are not told. Pressure on the lender seems likely. He is a known homosexual and not fussy about where and with whom he does what ever it is that they do. Another senior politician? HMG doesn't want you to know so you will have to follow the link.
John McDonnell
Left winger, mate of Corbyn's but not all bad. He wants Blair and Goldsmith done as war criminals - see We Are Change UK
Mark Oaten resigns over rent boy claims [ 22 January 2006 ]
Liberal lose another. Kennedy, the drunkard went too - fell or pushed. I am told that the Liberals are even more corrupt than Labour.
Mark Oaten, Rent Boys and the Secret Police: A View of How England is Governed at the End of its History [ 24 January 2006 ]
A politician's office gets burgled and then the newspapers give us the dirt. That is him finished. Actually two of them got written out. Who did it and why? The ruling class are a loose coalition of rogues and opportunists screwing the peasants and creating a de facto dictatorship. Sean Gabb, the leading theoretician of the right in England puts a view. He could well be right.
John Prescott aka Two Jag Jack aka Two Shag Jack
Her Majesty's Deputy Prime Minister, one John Prescott was at it with his secretary. Labour came into power claiming that they were going to be clean unlike the Tories. They are corrupt the way the Tories could only dream of. And if you think any of them are going to walk poor you haven't got the idea. PS Her Indoors couldn't see the funny side of it.
PPS Handsome, ain't he?
Oh well, try this one.
"They are up to their necks in sleaze. The best slogan he could think up for their conference next week is Life's better under the Tories. Sounds to me like one of Steven Norris's chat up lines. Can you believe that this lot is in charge? Not for long, eh? Then after 17 years of this Tory government, they have the audacity to talk about morality. Did you hear John Major on the Today programme? - calling for ethics to come back into the political debate? I'm told some Tory MPs think ethics is a county near Middlesex. It's a bit hard to take: John Major - ethics man. ... For too many Tories, morality means not getting caught. Morality is measured in more than just money. It's about right and wrong. We are a party of principle. We will earn the trust of the British people. We've had enough lies. Enough sleaze."
BTW, there is an election the offing. Ministers who have strayed is an addendum from The Telegraph.
Mark Thatcher
Snuck in because he is Maggie Thatcher's son. He has no other recommendation whatsoever. He made his pile on the Al Yamamah Job. It has grown since and he has even managed to stay out of prison. Mummy helped there.
Tory Rich List
Being rich and a Tory beats being poor.
UAF Supporters
Left wing apparatchiks and Useful Idiots in the usual ratios. MI5 probably ignores them and concentrates of the BNP.
Tom Wise
Was elected as the MEP and a member of UKIP, which was formed to get us out of Europe. Now it looks as though he has been treating his assistants badly and lying about it. He was a policeman & and a liar.
PS He got two years.
Liars, buggers and thieves
Leppart catalogues just some of the many serious crimes carried out
by serving and former elected representatives of the Old Gang Trio
and updated through to October 2004.
A favourite trick of liberal-leftwing interviewers when losing an argument with BNP spokesmen is to start banging on about "BNP criminals."
Well, as Anne Winterton pointed out recently in The Sunday Times, this really isn't a very honest thing to do when not mentioning the fact that a very small number of BNP criminal records (mainly the result of political persecution, self-defence against leftist thugs and youthful stupidity now twenty years or more in the past) need to be put into the context of the far worse, more numerous and more recent crimes of many members of the old parties.
Here is a far from complete list which readers will find useful as well as shocking.

Sunday Mirror, Jul 14, 1996 by TERRY O'HANLON
A Desperate search is under way for hundreds of former residents of children's homes after a live-in social worker being investigated for sex assaults died of AIDS.
Social services bosses in London and Liverpool urged ex-residents to contact them following disclosures that house parent Mark Trotter was the subject of three child sex inquiries before he died.
One local council confirmed that they had already secretly been in touch with 50 of the 450 problem kids who had been in contact with bachelor Trotter, from the time he joined them in 1981 until he retired through ill health in December, 1993.
In what officials at Hackney Council called "a sensitive operation", former residents of Trowbridge House home - which accommodated boys and girls aged up to 16 - were asked if they had any sexual experiences with Trotter and, if necessary, were advised to have medical checks.
The council is also to advertise in newspapers for more to come forward.
Similar checks are being made in Liverpool where loner Trotter worked at the New Hayes Home in Allerton Road as a resident house parent from 1980 to 1981. Many of the children there would now be adults in their late twenties or early thirties.
Trotter left Liverpool in 1981 for Hackney where he worked at Trowbridge House until it closed down in 1986.
He was switched to work as a field social worker with a responsibility for problem children and families.
Trotter was the subject of two complaints in Liverpool and one in Hackney.
Police and social workers
investigated at the time but no action was taken.
Then last year Liverpool Police contacted Hackney to trace Trotter. It is understood a man who had been in his care in 1980 had made a complaint.
A Hackney spokesman said: "Last year the situation changed with the receipt of clear evidence of alleged abuse from Liverpool. They said they now had serious evidence."
But Trotter was too ill to be interviewed. He is thought to have died in last July. The spokesman said: "It is a very delicate situation and we want to ensure people who were in our care are okay."
Liverpool Social Services confirmed they had been in contact with Hackney and were exchanging information.
A spokesman said: "We can confirm that Mr Trotter worked as a house parent at one of our homes but I can't comment further."
One Hackney social services worker said: "Trotter was a solitary person, rather shy and sensitive.
"He lived alone in a flat in Hackney and he started showing signs of illness a couple of years before he left.
"He took more and more time off and was obviously seriously ill and had lost a lot of weight.
"We heard sometime afterwards that he was HIV and had contracted AIDS."
A GIRL of 15 was last night undergoing AIDS tests and counselling after being stabbed in the face with a blood-filled syringe. The teenager was attacked by a man who claimed he had the disease as she returned from a night-out with a school friend. He filled the syringe with blood from his arm and punctured her cheek after first chasing her friend. Police later appealed for witnesses to the assault in Hunter Square, Edinburgh.

That's when he wasn't busy boiling peoples heads in a pot, or masturbating over the corpses of his victims.

Labour Politician Gets Twelve Months For Thieving [ 12 April 2009 ]
Tory Politician Had Child Porn
Liberal Politician Admitted Twelve Fraud Raps
In the same week that Tory Labour and Lib-Dem MPs have been revealed to be stealing from the taxpayer with "second home allowances", town council members of those three parties have also been convicted of child pornography, theft and fraud charges............
A former Labour Party mayor of Carlisle has been jailed for 12 months after stealing nearly £60,000 to help pay off her online poker debts........
Liberal Democrat councillor Vijay Shah pleaded guilty to eleven counts of fraud at St Albans Crown Court on Wednesday.
Tory councillor David Charles, who represents the St Andrew's ward in Hornchurch, has admitted a string of child pornography charges before Snaresbrook Crown Court and has pleaded guilty to 16 counts of possessing paedophile images of youngsters.......
It would seem that criminality in the Tory, Labour and Lib-Dem parties is institutionalised. There is little wonder then that by the time they reach Westminster, they can shamelessly steal from the taxpayer in the way revealed on this website the past week. The time has come to expunge this gang of corrupt and morally decadent elite from British political life.
Did the main stream media bother to tell you about this lot of swine? Me neither.
Labour Propaganda Chief Spread Gross Lies About The Tories [ 12 April 2009 ]
The Prime Minister's personal spin doctor Damian McBride quit after it emerged he and Derek Draper, Labour's internet campaign chief, conspired to spread false and sinister stories of a highly personal nature. McBride boasted that the sleaze campaign "will put the fear of God" into the Tories.
We can disclose that the unfounded smears included:
SMEAR ONE . . . a story that Conservative leader David Cameron has an embarrassing medical condition.
SMEAR TWO . . . a vicious triple attack on Shadow Chancellor George Osborne. It suggests he had sex and took drugs with a prostitute, that his wife is "emotionally fragile" and that an ex girlfriend has photos of him in a bra, knickers and suspenders.
Obviously it will turn out that Brown knew nothing about it. As Otto von Bismarck said Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.
PS This is from the News of the Screws, a Murdoch rag so presumably he has decided that Labour have had their turn at destroying England.
PPS The Graun admits it is a success for Guido Fawkes, England's answer to Matt Drudge.

London, Sept. 7 (PTI): An extremist British Islamic group linked to suicide bombings overseas is planning to hold a conference in London on September 11 in praise of the magnificent nineteen, the hijackers who killed more than 3,000 people in the US on that day two years ago.
The controversial conference, which hundreds of young British Muslims are expected to attend, is being closely monitored by police and security officials. The conference has been organised by the al-Muhajiroun group, which was investigated by police after senior figures admitted that they acted as spiritual advisers to two British suicide bombers who died in Israel earlier this year.
Fly posters for the conference display the faces of the 19 hijackers along with a religious verse stating that the men were youth who believed in their lord.
Moderate Muslim groups have condemned the conference. September 11 was an abhorrent crime. Any activity that targets civilians is abhorrent, said a spokesperson for the Muslim Association of Britain.
Omar Bakri Mohammed, the north London-based self-styled emir of al-Muhajiroun, has, however, denied the meeting was a celebration of September 11.
It is an exploration of the causes of the event, he said. Bakri Mohammed has previously praised the two British suicide bombers who, he admitted, had attended al-Muhajiroun meetings. These two brothers have drawn a diving road map...in blood, he was reported to have said.

My Daughter bought a sample of this from ebay as wasn't sure she would
like it but she absolutely loves it, she has oily skin and this helps keep her
make up in place and lasts ages. My warning is that if you buy a sample
from ebay watch how much you are actually getting. My Daughter bought
a 5g sample which came in a 5ml pot which was filled to the top.
She was told by her boyfriend that 5g would not fit into a 5ml pot (He's a pharmacist)
so she weighed it and there was only approx 3.5g. So make sure if you order a sample
that the pot they send you is at least a 10ml pot. She reported it but ebay did nothing
and seller denied it but did offer a refund. I have also been told that there is a lot
of fake Ben Nye on ebay so be careful. Luckily my daughter's was genuine even though
the amount was wrong.
She loves the powder and has been out and bought a small Jar which will last her ages
as you only need a small amount.

I agree to the majority feedback of this product. Perfect for oily skin. And I would say that this is a long lasting powder. Its just that the packaging, a bit messy to use. But overall this is recommendable. Would definitely buy agaib

If you don't have this, go buy it NOW! I was looking for a good undereye setting powder and kept reading about "banana" powder. I had no idea what that was but apparently many companies are now selling a yellow corrective powder for the undereye area. Ben Nye's is such a high quality and you get SOOOO much for the money. I ordered the small compact with the sifter for $12 and I would bet this would last for years...... no kidding. It is so finely milled and just glides on the skin and leaves flawless perfection. I place this on with a heavy hand after I apply my concealer and it leaves my undereye area bright and perfected and the effect lasts ALLLLL day.
Btw: I'm a medium beige skin tone with yellow undertones.

I bought this to use on my days where I wear heavier makeup, like going out or doing something fun, etc. Not on days where I go to work or run errands and want a lighter face. However, I found another setting powder I love more than Ben Nye (Buttercup Powder) so I stopped using this for a while.
Well, it's summer and my face has been getting super oily and I hated it. I've used blotting tissue, translucent pressed powders, primers and matte foundations together and it got me maybe a couple of hours but not enough time. Well, I decided to go ahead and try this on my off days.
First off, it can get a little ashy if you use too much. I wear the color Caramel in Revlon C/O. This powder if probably more for medium-dark skin tones. I pat some onto my face with a brush and let it bake for about 10 minutes and then brush the excess off. Since I use a light face of makeup and don't heavily highlight nor do I contour it can give that non-dimensional makeup face look. However, after a few minutes your skin will naturally set the rest if that makes sense. It does give your face a soft, natural look.
After using this, I did notice it helped oil. The only place it didn't help was my nose, but ya know, I'm not surprised. I still had to blot a little around the T-Zone area but overall I do feel like it helped. I think I will stick to using this for my routine.
One thing, the packaging sucks. Like, really sucks. It's really messy trying to put it on and you are bound to get it everywhere.

this is a great powder. however it's a little darker than i expected. i bought this at rickys in nyc. if i highlight my skin and use this to set it it actually makes the highlight kind of disappear. so ive mostly just use it as an all over setting powder and i highlight on top of it instead. control my oily skin very well. def will be purchasing more but it lasts so long it'll probably be years before i have to.

This powder would do great for oily skin. But if your prone to breakouts, stay away from it!! It has a nice finish very natural looking. But after a couple days my face broke out in rash like pimples, EVERYWHERE! And the packaging is very annoying. The powder is soo loose you can't keep from making a mess. If you have oily skin, no flaws. Give this powder a try but for sensitive skin I do not recommend. Not even as a highlighter because I don't see a difference.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Oily, Tan, Warm

I use this all over my warm yellow tone face. When i first put on its matte but with my oily face, I get oily anyway.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Other, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Yeah....this.is everything it's cracked up to be. well actually I haven't seen the reviews for it on here so let me just say I am extremely pleased. I have yellow undertones and oily skin that occasionally sports a booboo (aka me turning nothing into something :-[ - it happens.) If I use this after foundation I look awesome and glowy and airbrushed and if I skip the foundation it still looks pretty dame good.
Controls shine , check. Evens tone, check. Doesn't cake, check. And it comes in a giant container that is too big and unwieldy to keep with your makeup so I just fill an old bare minerals pot and voila, new and a billion times improved mineral veil.

this product for me is my everything at the moment. I love how bright and radiant it makes my skin look and the staying power is amazing. the only thing I really dont like is the packaging. I kind of wish it was more travel friendly or maybe a bigger lid to dip into with my brush. If you are light skinned this powder might not be good to use as a highlighter but if you have medium, tan, to dark skin this would act as the perfect highlighter. it also makes selfies FLAWLESS! I notice a huge difference when I use my Nyx face powder to take a selfie, it makes my skin look flat in pictures but the banana powder reflects light and makes your skin glow. it's like the perfect loose powder

Nice feeling. But packaging sucks. And I like the kat Von d banana color in her contouring kit better.

Adam Jones hit just .218 in April. But he got his offense really going in May and he wants to put the finishing touches on his best season yet in Baltimore in the season's final 65 games.
"I want to have a big second half," Jones said. "I was a little frustrated going into the break. This game is bigger than me. Just want to have the right attitude and try to have a big second half for the team."
He is now batting .284 with 17 homers and 58 RBIs. Jones' slugging percentage is up from last year (.442 to .471) and so is his OPS (.767 to .797). Last season, Jones hit .262 with runners in scoring position and that number is .305 this season.
He drove in two big runs in last night's 3-2 win over the Angels with a homer and sac fly. His 17 homers is now two off his career best and his 58 RBIs is 12 off a career high.
Over the last eight games, Jones is batting .310 with two doubles, four homers and nine RBIs. He has an OPS of .994 since the All-Star break.
He said he is not concerned about trying to pick up the slack in a lineup currently without Vladimir Guerrero and Luke Scott.
"There's no pressure on me. I am not trying to put pressure on myself, I think I did enough of that last year. Just trying to seize an opportunity to hit in the middle of the lineup. I'd like to stay there," he said.
Jones is homering at a quicker rate than he ever has.
Jones at-bats per homer by year with the Orioles:
2008: 1 every 53 at-bats.
2009: 1 every 24.9 at-bats.
2010: 1 every 30.6 at-bats.
2011: 1 every 21.6 at-bats.
After last night's game, Buck Showalter said of Jones:
"I've said it quite a few times and the first day of spring training, regardless of what's going on with our pitching, our team, whatever, Adam's been solid. With one exception, nobody in the American League's played the game with more passion and energy than Adam has."
Jones enjoyed leaving the field with the fans having something to cheer about for a change last night.
"It would be cool if the place was packed, but it's always good when the fans stand up for you. They don't get the opportunity a lot around here (lately) so it was good to see them standing," he said.

Mentalist Lior Suchard Accurately Names The Hottest 100 Winner
27/01/2016 4:20 PM AEDT | Updated 15/07/2016 12:51 PM AEST
Cayla Dengate Associate Editor, HuffPost Australia
Aussie band The Rubens were pretty surprised to win this year's Hottest 100 but one man who was cool as a cucumber was mentalist Lior Suchard.
The self-proclaimed mind reader and thought influencer -- who is the real-life inspiration for Simon Baker's character in The Mentalist -- wrote down the Hottest 100 winner and put it in a sealed envelope before the annual public-voted poll was announced, and he guessed it right.
Here's his visit to the Triple J studio on Monday when he was filmed making his prediction, while also freaking out hosts Matt and Alex by seemingly reading their minds.
He's also freaked out The Bachelor host Osher Gunsberg and legendary sportsman Steve Waugh.
Want to see more? He's got a string of upcoming shows on at Sydney Opera House.

Jill Zarin Might Be Out of 'Real Housewives of New York City'
Even though the fourth season of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City received higher ratings than the other three, the network is reportedly looking to remove Jill Zarin from the cast. A source told The New York Post that Zarin's "hard campaigning to prove her popularity among viewers has soured her chances of being asked back by producers." Another insider added, "Jill would re-sign tomorrow if she could. She has been pitching herself very aggressively to keep her on next season, because she's terrified she'll be phased out. She would love to have her own show like [former Housewives star] Bethenny Frankel, but she's not getting it."
However, Jill isn't in terrible danger just yet — apparently, Bravo hasn't asked any of the castmembers to return for a fifth season, and this might be because producers are still searching for two or three people to add to the group. Zarin's representative claimed the potential outcast is "focused on her shapewear brand Skweez Couture" and is "incredibly busy with other projects." And so I guess even if Jill doesn't return to the show, it's nice to know she's found another way to provide a much-needed service.

2014 is off and running, and there is no better time to jump feet first into your home projects! If you're toying with the idea of remodeling your kitchen, being on top of the latest kitchen trends is imperative. I hear over and over again that kitchen remodels, both large and small, prove to be a great investment if you're thinking in terms of resale value. I've compiled some great 2014 kitchen trends that you should be aware of to ensure you get the biggest return on investment. After reading this blog, you'll be even more confident with your decision to remodel your kitchen!
Open Shelving Is A Great Cabinet Alternative
GHID is fully aware of the fact that kitchens with open shelving isn't for everyone! If you tend to keep your kitchen spick and span already, then you may want a modernize your kitchen with open shelving while showing off your kitchenware. Be bold this year and take the plunge so you can showcase an open shelving concept in your home.
Say Goodbye To Your Traditional Kitchen Triangle - It's Reimagined!
In an interview with Catherine at Zillow, Garrison shared his expertise on the kitchen triangle saying that, "kitchen designs are moving away from the traditional setup, in which the fridge, sink, and stove form an imaginary triangle." GHID's clients are often times "tell us the kitchen is command central for all the family's activities. So I (he) try to create different zones — one for kids, one for cooking, and one for the whole family to gather."
Open Kitchen And Living Room Floorplans
When we began designing our clients' Street of Dreams home, we knew that the core of this home was to design for a busy family. The entire design layout for the living room, kitchen and outdoor area was so that Barbara Godzyk could keep a close eye on her three active kids. She gave us four directives in the directives in the design and completion of the 6,100 sq. ft. home, and one was in relation to the kitchen, "the kitchen should serve as 'command central' with views to the great room through to the entry and to the outdoor living space and pool."
Hide Your Clutter With Ample Kitchen Storage
Home Portfolio, shared that, "a recent study by the University of California, revealed that clutter is a major cause of stress for most American families. Those findings support a National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) survey revealing that home buyers want organization and more storage.
Similar to our 2013 Street of Dreams home, walk-in pantries are all of the craze. Don't be afraid to add a bit of a creative spin on your pantry design by incorporating a hidden door to your beloved food!

Esher, Surrey (PressExposure) December 12, 2011 -- "Counting calories may not be enough when it comes to weight control." Says Kirsten Whittaker, Editor of the DHB. "A diet with 15% protein may well work better to help you keep your eating, and your weight, under control according to the findings of a new study."
Many experts think that the protein content of the diet does play a key role in determining how many calories you eat and how hungry you are. This study lends support in the form of solid numbers.
Some intriguing, but preliminary, research on ginger and colon cancer. Supplements of ginger have been shown to lower some indicators of inflammation in the colon according to a new study. This work is an initial step in finding out if the compounds that are naturally a part of ginger root might also prevent cancer of the colon.
Just two chocolate bars a week is all it takes, according to some new research out of Sweden, for a woman to bring down her stroke risk. This latest work builds on earlier findings in men and women, but also provides us with some new information on stroke type in chocolate eaters.
New numbers just in bring some welcome news... Americans are living a full 12 months longer than just 10 years ago. U.S. life expectancy went from 76.8 to 77.8 years according to numbers given by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Getting too little sleep ... or too much ... can be trouble when it comes to heart health. We know that sleep duration has gone down by 1.5 to 2 hours a night per person over the last half century. This leaves all too many of us less productive, more emotional, with foggier, slower thinking processes and unable to fully enjoy all life has to offer.

How does Victor's mood change each time the setting changes in "Frankenstein"?
I mean how is Victor attitude, health etc. when he goes to Geneva, Ingolstadt, Scottland, etc. I am trying to right and essay and we need a site to reference for our literary element and I am having a hard time finding one for setting.
- print Print
- list Cite
Shelley uses the connection with mental and physical health and nature throughout the book. When Victor is closer to his home and surrounded by the mountains and lakes of his childhood, he is at greater peace than when he is in Ingolstadt or Scotland in the barren surroundings, isolated from nature and those he loves and creating a creature which is an abomination in the eyes of God. Her point here is that when we neglect nature and neglect those with whom we are connected by love and family duty, we wander in an abyss similar to hell and are more likely to do sinful things. Two of her main themes in the book are: We have a duty to care unconditionally for the children we create (which Victor does not do and so therefore he creates much of the strife and discontent in his life), and Humans have no business playing God (which Victor, when isolated from God through nature and family, attempts to do). She uses the representation of nature and weather to represent not only Victor's physical and mental health, but his relationship with God and where Victor stands with our own creator.
Shelley's imagery helps to create the setting. When the setting is calm and relaxed (while Victor is at home and when he is in the mountains), Victor finds himself mirroring his surroundings. He, too, is calm and rejeuviinated when he is surrounded by nature, just like the plants and trees themselves. When he is in his laboratory, the weather is described as dark and dreary, again mirroring Victor's internal conflict. He struggles to complete his creation, and when he finally does (after two years), he promptly runs out on it. Storms throughout the novel reflect the inner storms of both Victor and the Creature. It is fitting that the final battle should take place in the Arctic where it is cold and there is little life sustained.

West Perth, Australia (PressExposure) August 30, 2009 -- If you have completed a thorough Audit and Analysis process as discussed here then you should have an understanding of the following,
*What your current employer brand stands for *What the triggers are for attracting candidates *What will motivate your employees to stay with your organisation *What the needs are of your current and potential workforce *What type of people will âfit inâ with your organisation
The next step is to develop your employer brand positioning and define the EVP statements that will improve your appeal to potential recruits and lead to higher levels of employee engagement, retention and brand advocacy.
How to develop your unique employer brand proposition
Utilise the insight and knowledge you have gained from the previous audit and analysis phase as an input into developing your specific employer brand proposition, keeping in mind your overall strategic core proposition. We recommend the following steps:
1. Set your Employer Brand objectives 2. Define your Target Employee Profile 3. Develop your Employment Value Proposition (EVP) 4. Define your Supporting Benefits
Importantly, your EVP must appeal to labour market desires and requirements and attract the right people to your organisation. Remember, it is the promise that your organisation delivers to its employees â that creates an emotional and rational connection between the company and the employee.
Additionally your EVP portrays the value gained through employment in your organisation, and this needs to be unique, realistic and able to be brought to life.
Tips for developing a compelling employer brand
Review the following questions to identify your Employer Brand information gaps:
1. Has your organisation defined its core proposition, its sense of purpose or big idea? 2. Have you considered how developing your employer brand will strategically impact on your organisation? â remember employer branding is not just a recruitment exercise! 3. What kind of people âfit inâ at your organisation? 4. Would your current employees recognise the underlying truth of your EVP claims? 5. Are your EVP claims clearly unique and do they âsellâ your organisation? 6. Is your EVP package authentic - is your organisation capable of delivering on your EVP promises?

YuiKaori's new album "Bright Canary" has been released.
YuiKaori's 3rd album "Bright Canary", according to Ogura Yui and Ishihara Kaori, is a workpiece that means To fly as high as a canary, for a brighter future. This album includes their summer 2014 guitar-rock song "Intro Situation,", their January 2015 single "NEO SIGNALIFE," that tells a strong message from its lyrics. An album with various songs worthy to be called a "next project" after their 1st album, Puppy and their 2nd album, Bunny. So how did they sing these new pieces that they called "YuiKaori's Brand New Tunes?" We asked them about it.
Interview──Text / Narimatsu Tetsu
Running on the ground, jumping from the ground, and then flying into the sky.
──The first album title which released in 2011 was "Puppy", which means a small dog and the 2nd album which released in 2013 titled "Bunny" = rabbit. And this time's album is "Bright Canary", it's a canary.
Ogura Yui: We started from the image of puppies running around, and next was rabbits. It had the image of rabbits hopping around, so we came into discussions such as "What should we do next?" or "We want to fly even more, right?" and then, we came up to "Canaries are the birds with beautiful voices, isn't it a perfect image for us?" thus, we put "Canary" on the title.
──But this time, you put "Bright" before it.
Ogura: You're right, if you came with "Puppy" and "Bunny", of course it should be "Canary", but…
──The euphony of "Puppy", "Bunny", and "Canary" also sounds nice, after all (laughs).
Ogura: It's just as you said (laughs) but now that both of us turned into our twenties, we had a concept of challenging things we haven't tried until now, so while also following the flow up, we decided to add something new.
Ishihara Kaori: So we added "Bright", to mean a promising future.
──After that, you selected the songs which are worth to be featured in "Bright Canary"?
Ishihara: No, we didn't. The songs selection and the title creation went together, right?
Ogura: Yes. Instead of us hearing everything first to choose, it was the Staff who chose them for us with the theme "YuiKaori's Brand New Tunes" in mind. We were allowed to listen to the demo songs since all of them were fit into the theme; songs we've never had up to now, then we thought "Let's add something else for 'Canary.'" Just as what Carrie-san (Ishihara) said, the songs selection and the title creation progressed together.
The symbol of the evolving YuiKaori = "Baisoku∞Love Straight"
──And then you lined up "YuiKaori's Brand New Tunes" that evolved from your guitar rock summer single "Intro Situation" from last year, and this year's summer single "Ring Ring Rainbow!!"
Ishihara: However, I was a bit anxious even since we started to make this album. We've been making this album with hope that everyone would see YuiKaori's growth, which is different with the one they know in mind, but every time we record the new songs and received the completed songs, I started to feel like "Will it be okay?" or "Will everyone accept it?"… But because it's an album, when you listen to it together with the songs from the singles, you could really feel our progress, or rather, it properly becomes a YuiKaori song, so to be honest, I felt a bit relieved (laughs).
Ogura: Ever since I got the demo songs, I also felt really anxious before listening to the completed songs, like "Will this song represent YuiKaori properly?", but now that the satisfaction is bigger, I thought "Were we able to express a new thing which only our current self could do?"
──Certainly, you could say that even from the 1st song "Baisoku∞Love Straight", you can feel the new representation, or rather, I was surprised by it. With the recent 4/4-beat dance rock, you only did extensive word plays. The things happened in the lyrics, such as getting late, forgetting things, sitting beside the boy you like during class in campus, being without no make-up, only that. No narratives and plots at all (laughs).
Ogura–Ishihara: Ahahahaha (laughs).
Ogura: But I thought that this song is the proof of the evolution of YuiKaori's songs. Even while we have rock as the base, the way we play with the Chinese-like melody and ethnic melody popped on the way of the song is also new, but we also have "PUPPY LOVE!!" which was included in "Puppy"…
Ishihara: Or the song from a single that's also in this album, "LUCKY DUCKY!!"…
Ogura: To some extent, we could say that this song is similar to our previous slapstick songs where we chattered and did word plays along the rhythm. For example, the part where we chase each other's lines is certainly from "PUPPY LOVE!!", I was surprised by the sound, but then it made me think "The slapstick, chatter song has finally come after a while, huh".
Ishihara: Yeah. Even though we have something new, we also have the same things as before. Now that we have both sides, we were able to make this song our own song, it's a great thing for YuiKaori, or so I thought.
Ogura Yui & Ishihara Kaori, thinking about their friendship once again
──Just as Ishihara-san said before, the new songs for this album actually have the roots from your previous discography. Starting from "Baisoku∞Love Straight" which has the strong novelty feels, to "Ring Ring Rainbow!!" which is about your relationships and determination towards the fans, it linked smoothly, and later on, and it continues to the lead track "Canaria".
Ogura: This song is embarrassing!
──While the strings dramatically resounds, the two canary birds = the singing birds, in other words, it's a song where you gently sing about your friendship, isn't it? (laughs).
Ogura: Up until now, we didn't have any songs where we need to sing in our own world, so I was surprised by it, and got a bit embarrassed. During the recording, I sang this song while imagining about my friends from school, the fans, or the friends of the fans. Because I thought "If I only think about Carrie-san while singing it, it'll be very embarrassing, you know?" (laughs).
Ishihara: Ahahahaha (laughs). I also didn't only think about myself when I sang it. If I sing it with only about Yui-chan and I in mind, I feel that this song would be a really personal song, which nobody could empathize it.
Ogura: Right? I might exaggerate it if I say that "We've been together in joys and sorrows" until we became the YuiKaori we are now, and were able to release three albums like this, but it's a fact that many things had happened, and we reached up into our relationship like now. Once, I tried to put these feelings that sometimes appears inside of me into my singing, but if I imagine our episodes specifically, just as Carrie-san tried to explain, I thought that it'd be a world of a song where no one could get in to.
Ishihara: Though the reason why we didn't stand close only to ourselves, it's just as Yui-chan said before, because it's embarrassing (laughs).
"Ishihara-san, you're so easy to please." "This, this isn't me!!"
──Certainly, for you who have been together since middle school, and has already turned into adults now, you need some courage to confirm about your friendship and how deep your relationship is, right?
Ishihara: I'll change the topic for a bit, but until recently, I couldn't really grasp how to use the word "nikoichi".
──With the meaning of 'to combine the working parts of two or more broken machines to make one functioning machine', it also means "We're tied with a strong friendship like two people becoming one" wait, huh?
Ishihara: That's right. My relationship with Yui-chan is something that's beyond that word. I think it's because I have this relationship with her that doesn't need the label 'friendship,' anymore.
Ogura: Even without confirming it with words, Carrie-san being on my side, her existence has already become obvious, and we know about each other too much that I would think "Has she seen through me?" (laughs).
Ishihara: That's why when we got the lyrics for "Canaria," I felt that I've been seen through (laughs).
Ogura: But that's why, there's a meaning of why we need to sing and confirm our friendship and relationship now. I think that it's only our current self who could sing out about how deep the relationship we've built and the friendship that one could feel because of the time that passed, from then until now.
──Not only that, your annual solo songs for YuiKaori's albums are also recorded here. But they're the opposite of the solo songs on "Puppy" and "Bunny". Up until now, Ogura-san got the electric song, while Ishihara-san got to sing the guitar song, but…
Ogura: Ah, you're right! (laughs)
Ishihara: I didn't realize it at all! (laughs)
──Hahahaha (laughs). And then, on the electric dance music "Telephone Call" which Ishihara-san sings, there is this lyrics "Even though you coldly deal with me with 'I'm busy' or 'I can't', but sometimes you come to me to be spoiled, that part of you is incredibly lovely". If I should say it, Ishihara-san, you're easy to please (laughs).
Ishihara: This main character isn't me! (laughs)
Ogura: Ahahahaha (laughs).
The song I need to sing, and the song which is strange yet interesting
──So, is this main heroine, easy to sing?
Ishihara: It's the type I haven't able to get to sing up until now, so it was fun. You could say that singing while acting is interesting. But, this girl's feelings, as Ishihara Kaori personally, I couldn't understand her (laughs).
──You also said "What do you mean by 'but sometimes you come to me to be spoiled, that part of you is incredibly lovely'!?" (laughs).
Ishihara: That's why, contrarily, I was able to sing it fairly. If I were this kind of type,I think it'll be the same with when I got "Canaria" lyrics, that it felt like I've been seen through and get embarrassed by it, but I was able to sing it in a different feeling from my own, I think it's because of that I'm also working as a voice actor. Not only that, the songs I usually listen to are mostly dance music. I've been thinking of wanting to sing this kind of song for my solo, so I was really happy that it's finally granted.
──On the other hand, Ogura-san's solo song is "Liar Sheep".
Ogura: I was worried about "How far I'd be immersed into this song's world?" just before the recording…No, actually it's until we were recording this song. It's also because the key for this song is originally a bit high, and has a bit of a float-y feeling. I thought about it a lot, of how should I sing with a bit of soft vocal but with lyrics that has a strong message.
──It's a bit of an ironic song where you need to act as "The boy who turns fresco", "The boy who turns the globe", "The old man who turns the clock", they're strange characters; you need to sing about the transition of time, and about no matter how many time has passed, there are people's actions and ridiculous things which wouldn't change, after all.
Ogura: So, I tried out various ways to sing it, but the finalization was in the condition where the key had been lowered to a half tone, so if I sing it with the current key, it'll be a rock number which I could send the message properly; but the soft part from the original arrangement isn't completely deleted. It became a song that can hype with the listener during a live, also a song which you could enjoy while wearing a headphone by yourself. I think it became a song that is strange yet interesting.
Although it's embarrassing, we tried to act cool to aim for the "New World"
──Next, your song "New World" with an emo-loud type of tough sound with lyrics such as "I've been forgetting about important things, counting the stars, to keep running away, but I swore to myself", "To only look ahead and cut through into my only future", it's a song with a strong message.
Ogura: The first time I listened to the demo song, I thought that "It's really cool!" But after that I realized something, "By the way, this song, we'll be the one who will sing it, right?"…
──Something like "Ah, it's not good if only I enjoyed listening to it!" (laughs).
Ogura: Exactly (laughs). I'd say, that this song is a piece which you need to act cool to send the message, isn't it? That's why we need to act cool to sing it, and it'd be meaningless if it obviously sounds like "Somehow YuiKaori is acting cool", I grabbed my head for a while because of that.
──You could finally find a cool voice style, while still being yourself, couldn't you, Ogura-san?
Ogura: But we have the adlib-like singing parts like "Oh no…" and "Oh, oh" in-between the verse and the bridge, I felt how interested I was during the beginning of the recording, who tried to act cool and sing the "Oh no…" and "Oh, oh" parts (laughs).
Ishihara: Ahahahaha (laughs).
──That "Oh no…" and "Oh, oh" were also cool, you know?
Ogura: In the end, I felt that I could properly act cool and sing the "Oh, oh", but the first "Oh, oh" was really a hurdle (laughs). It's a phrase that doesn't usually come out from our songs after all.
Ishihara: Ah, but I think it's the opposite for me. Because it's the type of song that YuiKaori hasn't been able to sing up until now, so it might be misleading, but it was near to when I sing my favorite musician's songs at the karaoke, or something like that. While thinking of "It's a bit difficult, but it's a cool song~", I was able to have fun by acting cool and singing it, and I was able to say "Oh, oh" in a high spirit (laughs). And maybe this isn't a strong word so far, because recently we have sung "From now on, too, we'll go forward together with everyone" in "NEO SIGNALIFE" and "Ring Ring Rainbow!!"
Ogura: That's right. That's why in the end we were able to sing the "Oh, oh" part.
The album making that didn't end at the finale
──Amongst the new songs, was "New World" the most troubling song to record?
Ogura: No, it's the last song "Billion-Carat", isn't it?
Ishihara: Yeah.
──Certainly, it's not a "J-POP that adopted Electro Dance Music's technique" or "Dubstep-like J-POP ", nor the cool dance music; it has intense Electro Dance Music-feels, which actually is real Dubstep. I was surprised that you put this song as the last song of the album.
Ishihara: It's not where we sing a YuiKaori-like song which everyone might think of and it goes into a "happy end", but rather even we were surprised by how we needed more challenges for a new thing (laughs).
──Not only that, the title is "Juu-oku (Billion) Carat", and the lyrics are declaring things such as "One day of the Billionaire heart" and "Hey, Be a Bright GEM!", you put a blast to the listeners, which are the "jewelries".
Ogura: I feel that I've been saying the same thing for quite a while, but this demo song particularly had an impact (laughs). The lyrics, title, and also the sound. "Billion-Carat" is obviously a title for a dance music, but the rules of the rhythm is different with all of the dance music songs we've been dancing and singing up until now.
──Electric Dance Music (or EDM) means to reach the peak. Because it keeps the rhythm on the surface of the beat, so the manner of the rhythm is different with Hip Hop, Jazz, and House music which engraves the beat, isn't it?
Ogura: That's why I thought something such as "I wonder where should we put a step forward to take into the rhythm?"
When our voices overlaps, I suddenly can see clearly before me.
──How did you settle it?
Ogura: It'll be an abstract explanation though, but we tried to search something like the link between the cool part which could show how YuiKaori is, and the cool part which this song has. At first we snuggled up to this sound, we sang it in quite a serious way, but somehow it didn't feel right.
Ishihara: I think I've already talked about it, but with our characters, we couldn't show "The sexy older women who runs a club" (laughs). (Reference: YuiKaori "NEO SIGNALIFE" Interview).
Ogura: That's why I tried a lot of trials and errors, but when I tried to change it into "Let's genuinely enjoy this new rhythm a bit, like kids", my impression of the song suddenly changed by itself, and I was able to sing it into a YuiKaori-like EDM very smoothly.
Ishihara: Thus, because Yui-chan has finally found her way to 'YuiKaori-like "Billion-Carat"', it made me a bit at ease (laughs).
──You felt at ease?
Ishihara: As for me, I kept thinking about how to show the cool YuiKaori-like way, I was really troubled by it, but it was Yui-chan who did the recording first. At the chorus, there's a part where I need to sing in unison with Yui-chan, but when I heard Yui-chan's voice that was recorded first, it made me think "Ah, it's okay to sing just like I thought" and "So it's okay with the cool YuiKaori-like I've thought of". It's not like we talked about "Let's sing it like this, okay?", but the way we think of it was the same. That's why, the moment our voices are mixed together, I felt that I was able to see clearly before me.
──It's not about the friendship we're talking about before, but you really are able to communicate with each other spiritually, aren't you? You also previously said "You don't know why, but you know everything about Ogura-san" after all (Reference: YuiKaori "Ring Ring Rainbow!!" Interview).
Ishihara: Ahahahaha (laughs). The me at that time, I was close to not saying anything, wasn't I? I really don't know why, but I know if it's about Yui-chan.
Ogura: For me as well, to know something such as "If it's Carrie-san, I bet she would sing like this" or "I bet she would act like this" is a normal thing, when you said something like "you can communicate with each other spiritually", in contrary, it made me surprised. But even though we were able to try a lot of new things for this album, it still ended up being a YuiKaori-like work; I guess it's because we're in unison, or so I thought.

Not Custom and Still Won't Fit
2001 Ford F-150
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
I had typed in my vehicle make, model, and year, Ford 01 F150, and these were supposed to match per the results (possibly some field trimming as required which I was OK with). When I took these out of the box and reviewed the trim options, even if these were trimmed all the way down they would not fit. I did not realize, until I reciwved these and then called Crutchfield and Weather Tech) that these were just a general size provided for all vehicles and they would need to be trimmed for any/all vehicles. I had always heard the weather tech name and associated that name with a great custom type fit, but that is not always the case.

In 2006, Bryan Powers played on the last Pacifica Joe DiMaggio baseball team to win a state championship. Today, he is on the verge of managing a team that has an excellent opportunity to capture its fifth state championship in the 45 year history of the team.
Powers, 26, has been an assistant coach the past four years. This year, he has been named team manager, replacing Donnie Rodriguez, who had to step aside due to work commitments.
Powers is quick to answer, when he's questioned on the chances of this year's team making it to the state tournament, "Absolutely! This team has just as much talent as both the 2004 and 2006 teams. We have players like Jacob Martinez, who was the North Peninsula League Player of the Year for Terra Nova, Brett Berghammer of Half Moon Bay, one of the best players in the league, Joey Pledger, Austin Youngdale, Anthony Gordon and others. We have solid players up and down the lineup."
"This team is just as good as the teams we've had in the past," he continued. "We have players who will go on to the next level. It's great to look at this team and say 'we've got a good chance to win'."
Powers knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. Following a successful football career at Terra Nova where he was named first team All-League, Special Teams co-player of the year and first team All-County, he went on to play three years with the University of Mississippi as a punter.
Ole Miss played in the Southeastern Conference, one of the top football conferences in the United States.
"The experience was just amazing, playing at an SEC school," said Powers. "The competition is among the best in the country, especially in football. The coaches I had, the commitment they had, that day in and day out grind, it makes you grow up really fast, especially being from here and going there, learning a new culture, being on my own and just take day to day challenges that you normally are not accustomed to. I really thought I grew up as a man."
Graduating from Ole Miss in 2010, he assisted on the university football team one year, and then headed to Baton Rouge, LA where he coached the special teams at Southern University for the next three years.
"Coaching at Southern University was a great experience, but it was time to come home," said Powers, smiling. "Coaching is very stressful day in and day out. I thought I was ready to move on."
Today, he mixes his work schedule at LinkedIn with coaching the DiMaggio team in the evenings. He's assisted by Joey Gentile, Terra Nova varsity coach, along with James Townsend, Adam Hartman and Danny McCarthy.
Pacifica plays in the North Peninsula Division which is comprised of teams from Millbrae, South San Francisco and San Bruno. The DiMaggio League is a league for 19-year-old and younger youths serving Northern California and Northern Nevada for over 50 years. Pacifica has won the state championship four times, the first year being 1970 under the league's organizer Carl Vallero. In 1980, Johnny Vallero led the team to the title and in 2004 and 2006 Mike Hughes had the honor. In 2010, Rodriguez took over the team as manager.
Pacifica opened the season winning its first 17 games. On July 4 the team lost its first game of the year at the July 4 Keith Connelly tournament in Yountville. The loss does not count against its league record. Last weekend, Pacifica ended its league season against San Bruno.
The last two years, Pacifica fell short of advancing in the state championship playoff, losing in the second round.
"Making the playoffs, only to lose, that's been a tough pill to swallow," said Powers. "I think the teams have been good. We just haven't been able to get past the second round. That's why I'm excited about this year's team. We are deep this year with players. We have players coming off the bench who can really play. We have the players to win the championship."
DiMaggio baseball has a great history in Pacifica," said Powers. "That's why DiMaggio baseball means a lot to me. I understand the players who have come through the program. I understand the program has a great tradition in the community. It's the Valleros, the Hughes, and all the great players who have come through the program."
"Many of our DiMaggio League players have gone on to play Major League Baseball and college ball," he adds. "It's an honor for me to take the reins and pass it on to this group of athletes. It's an amazing opportunity."
Powers credits two of his Terra Nova coaches for instilling him with excellent work habits, saying, "I always felt coaching was something I'd like to do, although I never thought about coaching football. But, when you're around the game, whether it be football or baseball, it's hard to get away from it."
"Going to Terra Nova was a great experience. I played for Coach (Bill) Gray. He humbles you, but at the same time he makes you grow up. Besides learning how to play football, you gain life skills from his teachings," said Powers, who also played football with the Pacifica Islanders minor league football team.
"Coach (Ron) Krieger taught me a lot about baseball. That's where I met Joey. Our relationship has been going on for about 10 years. He was an assistant to Coach Krieger," added Powers.
With the exception of Berghammer, all the players have attended Terra Nova and been coached by Gentile.
"I think that's why we jell. The athletes have played together. Some have even played together since they were in Little League," said Powers. "Joey did a great job in building a program at Terra Nova. When they come to me it's like they've never stopped playing."
Powers hopes to end the dry spell of not winning a state championship when his team travels to Half Moon Bay for the tournament on July 26.

Damaged Parts Replaced--Working Again--Yay!
From NH
Goalrilla replaced the damaged parts, and my kids again are very happy to have the yard guard keep missed shots from rolling down the hill. Thx Goalrilla!
Yes, I recommend this product

Only lasted 1 season
From NH
I installed a CV60 with a yard guard in the summer of 2015. My kids really liked the yard guard, but it only lasted 1 season. The metal tube at the bottom of the netting rusted through where it is connected to the base of the main pole. When the netting was hit by wind, the tube sheared off at that point.

The seven sacraments are the primary vehicle through which God conveys grace. However, being almighty and powerful, He is not limited to the sacraments.
For example, those without the light of faith receive grace in different ways. This is part of the universal salvific will of Christ—when Christ died for humanity it was not limited to specific time. Rather, He died for all: past, present, and future. God, who exists outside of time, knows all. Therefore, when our Blessed Savior hung upon the cross and shed His precious blood for humanity, He consciously did so for all those in the future as well.
There is a theological concept known as the "anonymous Christian." This means that if a person through no fault of his own did not consciously and deliberately reject Jesus Christ and His one true Church, and if that same person follows his faith to the best of his ability according to held beliefs, then by the merits of Christ on the cross, he can still be saved. He is only accountable for that which he knows.
The old axiom, "The more you know the more you are held accountable," is different from American law in which you are accountable for every law known or unknown to you. God is more merciful. However, once you receive the light of faith in Christianity and do not do anything about it, then all things change. Conversion is absolutely necessary once you receive the grace of enlightenment.
Missionaries are important because the Church is not satisfied with "anonymous Christians." The Church wants everyone to have a conscious relationship with the Lord who saves and continues to bless them through the sacraments. While it is true God comes to us in many ways, inspirations, thoughts, and kindnesses from people, He primarily comes to us in the sacraments. Jesus Christ and His Church (the mystical body of Christ) is the primordial sacrament.
In other words, He is the way in which grace is conferred. Second, the Church is the sacrament of Jesus Christ, or the continual living vehicle for the transfer of grace. The seven sacraments are the final way that Christ bestows grace upon the Church. While a person can spiritually survive with a minimum of grace, it is like living on life support. Living a full, robust, and healthy spiritual life means accepting and cooperating with as much divine grace as God offers, day in and day out.
Sacramentals bestow actual grace (as opposed to sacraments which confer sanctifying grace), but their effect chiefly depends upon disposition of the recipient (ex opere operantis in Latin). This means a very good or holy person receives more spiritual benefit than someone who is merely just okay. Sacramentals can be objects, such as rosaries, medals, holy water, and scapulars, and they can be actions, like blessings and exorcisms.
The blessing of a priest, at the end of Mass or over a person, is a prime example of a sacramental. Sacramentals differ from sacraments since they were not instituted by Christ and they do not confer sanctifying grace.

With the new year upon us, many businesses are going over their marketing budget for 2017. How much should you earmark for social media? That's a great question. According to a Duke University study, 13.2% of the average marketing budget is being allocated to social media in 2017. B2C companies could benefit from spending a bit more on social media, while B2B companies will probably spend a bit less. If you have questions regarding your social media marketing plan for 2017 we'd love to talk to you!
Social Media Promotion Overload
After spending a lot of time and effort building your social media community, losing followers can hurt. The inevitable question becomes, "what did I do wrong?". According to a recent survey from Sprout Social, you might have just turned some of them off by posting promotions too often. The survey found that 58% of respondents admitted to being annoyed by seeing too many promotions from companies they followed.
Let's be real here for a moment; while social media is a great place to let people know about your business, using it for pure self promotion is a good way to get people to tune you out. We've touched on our 80/20 social media rule before (80% informational/engaging posts – 20% self promotion/calls to action), and to some degree this survey supports that approach.
