May 27th – Arsenal 2 Chelsea 1
Published May 27, 2017 / by BBandbeyond BBandbeyond / Leave a Comment
Fuck me sideways. We just MAGA. I did not see that coming. We were superior, the better team and utterly deserved to win. Could this really be true? Is someone going to wake me up from my (beautiful) dream. Please don't. This was one of those rare occasions where I wanted the game to continue for another 90 minutes. This was so fucking enjoyable. Never in doubt (aside from my total negativism leading into the game).
Where to start? I still can't believe we had Ospina in goal. Crazy-arse decision that. And after he flapped at their goal one that could have come back to haunt AW. As it was we immediately resumed our dominance.
From the beginning we dominated. A minute into the game we started to control the ball and found gaps behind Kanti and Automatich. That first goal was dubious not because of the possible offside but the clear handball by Alexis. But I don't give a fuck. We scored. Deserved it and then had numerous chances there onwards. I can't recall them all but Welbeck should have scored, Ramsey got one past Courtouis for Cahill to clear it and then Ramsey headed against the post from a Welbeck header from a corner. The balance of the team look good and we were running the game.
Going in one nil up at half-time was worrying only because you had to believe Chelski would not play that badly again in the second half. For 10 minutes they seemed to have found their rhythm but thereafter we reasserted ourselves and controlled the game. We created chances and controlled the game. Our play was smooth and continuous moving the ball around seamlessly. For once, there was no obvious weak-link (aside from Ospina). And once Moses was moronic enough to fall over in our box and Taylor was brave enough to give the second yellow card you knew the cup would most likely be ours. Conti has to answer for why he kept Moses on the field for so long though. He was shit in both halfs and should have been replaced earlier – though arguably this is true of their entire team. Where was Hazard?
Aside from their undeserved goal they barely had 2 shots on goal the entire game. Costa did not deserve to score and Ospina should be holding his head in shame at his pathetic attempt to wave at the ball with his right hand. He should be having nightmares as a result and that should also signal the end of his time with us.
But what a reaction. A response in 30 seconds. Though I understood why Welbeck had to go off I was not thrilled at the idea. But what a run and pass from Elephant man for the Ramsey to time his late run into the box to head in the winner. Fucking brilliant. Cue major celebrations to break out. Another tactical masterstroke from AW. Thereafter we still had more chances but we thoroughly deserved this win. Today, if that game was still being played we'd still be wining.
How can they take of Costa and bring on Batshitwhoever? How can they not put us under more pressure than that? Where were Chelski? Did both teams swap shirts before the game? They played like us and we played like them. If they played like that all season their manager would be the one being abused by their "fans". And, best of all, John Terry did not get any playing time. That's the last we'll see of that fucker – holding a losers medal. Perfect send off.
Today though was about us. How great was it to watch us completely out play them and out smart them tactically. Ramsey in this more forward position was more threatening and more incisive. He was quicker on the ball and quicker to get off it. Ozil glided all over the pitch was helped provide an outlet for Bellerin. Ozil was also doing the defensive work and fouling where necessary. Another classy performance from him. And Bellerin used the space created in front of him so well – so many chances came via him – and a few shots to boot (ha). On the other size Ox and Alexis both clearly struggling with injuries manfully exposed Moses and that side of the team. Alexis notching up another goal and working so hard the entire game.
Xhaka was perfect playing that lone defensive midfield player. Once or twice he got caught on the ball but he was instrumental in running and dictating the place. He has evolved into our Alonso. Some of his passing was spectacular. And that volley shot in the first half demonstrated great technique. Behind him Monreal was excellent letting nothing past. And when faced up with Hazard played him perfectly never allowing him to get past. Holding continues to improve. Some of his passes out of defense were outstanding. Again, like the foul on Coast in the second half and that time in the first when he let the ball bounce behind him that caused Ospina to save from Costa, makes growing mistakes but overall helps solidify that back three.
But my favourite player today and, possibly, the most important one was our own BFG. So calm and so reassuring in defense. Marshalling everyone around him, sliding in where required and always reading the game; his football IQ has to be off the charts. Not having played a full game for the entire season to come in today and play in such a commanding manner was a complete bonus. Mustafi should study that performance very carefully – not one mis-placed pass, no overly aggressive jumping into the tackle; just reading the game perfectly. BFG – the man of the match.
And how about our manager, eh? Perfect tactics. Playing Ramsey slightly further forward and selecting Welbeck over Elephant Man. Welbeck worked so hard today; chased everything and was disruptive to the Chelski back line. It's just a shame he can't take his chances.
I loved AW's comments pre-game. He, of course, was totally right. The retarded, moronic Arsenal fans that have been focusing on AW and not the team should, if they had any shame, should be embarrassed – not because of the result – but because they have been so destructive and petulant about our team. All of us have a right to be angry and pissed off with our wanky performances this year. But the level of abuse hurled at AW is out of all proportion. Last time I checked he'd not murdered anyone, invaded a country or stolen an election. He's always been working in the best interests of our club even when me makes bad decisions. And, given his longevity, deserves, if nothing else, respectful criticism. Not the personal, destructive and negative demolition of the manager. The time for that analysis was always going to be the end of the season. Not flying stupid fucking planes over stadiums when we're playing. A pox on all those fans.
But today is a happy day so I'll leave that topic for another day. Today we were excellent and a joy to watch. If only we had found our game a week or two early in the season. But find it we did. And, finally, in the final, we found a way to turn an essentially defensive formation with three at the back into our most fluent and dynamic performance in this new regime.
So it looks like we're on our way to MAGA – Making Arsenal Great Again. I love Wembley and I love the F. A. Cup. And Arsenal. Now that's a way to truly end a season.
Once I've returned to planet earth and we get more clarity on the big summer decision I'll write up more thoughts on MAGA and Arsenal.
Till then.
Back to my dream. We just won the Fucking F. A. Cup!
May 21st – Arsenal 3 Everton 1
Published May 21, 2017 / by bradybergkampandbeyond / Leave a Comment
Twenty years. Pfew up in smoke. It was never in our hands today. And there was now chance LFC could blow it against a relegated team. It was delusional to think otherwise (especially when Martin Atkinson is the referee). But that's not the point. That will come (hopefully) later on.
Today we dominated for the first 14 minutes and then found a way to win and we lost various center-halfs. It's hard to know how to describe this game or it's relevance. It's not clear to crowd cared that much or the Everton players. It was also tough to get too involved emotionally in the game. After the season we've suffered through and knowing the inevitable result that would come from Anfield I suspect most were already emotionally drained. Nonetheless, we did play well, started quickly out of the blocks and deserved to take the lead. And then deserved to go down a man. As Koz went charging towards the ball I was screaming to hold back but he went Mustafi-like into a challenge he could not win with both feet off the ground. It was not a difficult decision for Oliver. It's a shame thereafter Oliver could not retain that consistency; how Williams stayed on the pitch after he's first booking is hard to fathom. Not that it mattered.
Back to that first goal. All Ozil all the time. Today he showed yet further glimpses that that he's re-discovered his game. He was way more involved in our play and some of his individual flicks and moves were delightful. On a number of occasions, he was able to maneuver the ball in tight circumstances when mere mortals would have lost the ball. He was the conductor of that first goal. Poor Welbeck. It will take a long-time for him to live down that miss. He'll be experiencing nightmares for along time – as he should. Fortunately, Bellerin was playing today not Bellend and we took the lead.
The second goal was weird. Their entire defense stopped as Welbeck pondered on what to do. Eventually though he passed to Alexis who slotted it away. Not bad while being down to 10 men. Everton had their chances. Unsurprisingly our defense was all over the place; Monreal continue to bomb up field and we had little cover in-front of our defense. BigEars though saved us on a number of occasions – he really did excel today. Holding was also pretty good – aside from when he was in our penalty area trying to hold the ball. Cech continued to stabilize the defense. And it was good to see him run up the pitch (and even better that he did not pull his calf or hamstring) to badger Oliver to lobby him to send off Williams for his second yellow offense.
We lost our second center-half in the second half. BigEars had been so dominant; one of his most impressive performances. Oliver managed to find a way to still give him a yellow as he was carried off even though he won the ball without going through the back of the player. So that's two center-halfs will be missing at Wembley. Am I glad I won't be there in person to suffer.
Even with 10 men we continued to create chances while Lukaku continued to miss the numerous ones he had. In fact, Cech barley had an extraordinary save to make. Ozil, Welbeck and Ob1 all had chances to score on the break. Alexis also pulled the strings along with Ozil. Ramsey was, again, way more effective when he plays further up the pitch. Xhaka was solid with some perfect cross-field, pinpoint passes. It was as surprising to see him be the one to make way for our Coq as it was that we had to wait so long to see him appear. Overall, agains, we played quite well and showed more progress in the transition from Bolton/Burnley back to Arsenal. But, really, who gives a shit. Irrespective of next week-end, we failed.
So, what's the point? We missed out on Champions League football. We're now consigned to the tinpot Europa Cup where Sp*rs have lived for decades. How pathetic is this? We'll now have to look forward to Thursday Night football against Sparta Boobies United from the third division of the Macedonia part-time league. An entire generation of Arsenal fans have no idea what this is like. I think someone we know quite well once said "If you eat caviar every day it's difficult to return to sausages". One of my first memories was when we won the Faris Cup (the predecessor to the Europa) – our first cup for 17 years back in the early '70s. It lead to the double the following year. Unfortunately, this feels more like we're going in the reverse direction.
Before we get to fully diagnose this year implosion and all the pending critical summer decisions and the pleasure of playing in the YourNoHopeA Cup, we have the small matter of an F. A. Cup final against the Russians. I'm guessing we'll go into that game without Koz or BigEars. That will put Mustafa (if he's recovered) alongside Holding and then the decision will be whether we have the BFG or Monreal in the back three. Without Ox and with Gibbs injured (and useless) it's not clear how we'll line-up. And let's hope Alexis and strap himself together.
I'm just grateful I won't have to be there in the stadium watching Ramsey back-heeling the ball into the path of Hazard as he races through to set up Diego to slide it past Cech. I'll at least be able to suffer the pain in the comfort of my own surroundings. Of course, the walls will be bear the brunt of the broken bottles and thrown food.
Today was not unexpected. It's just galling that we missed by just a single point. It brings even more into focus the abject pathetic nature of our Watford, Crystal Palace and West Brom performances. Sure we won the last 7 but by then it was all over. Ahead of the Wembley game I'll hold off for now on how we finally MAGA and, likewise, (though it overlaps) with a dissection of our squad.
Today marks the end of an era. Let's hope next week is the cherry on the top of the era rather than yet another step down the slippery slope to mediocrity.
May 16th – Arsenal 2 Sunderland 0
As the actress said to the bishop, this will be a quick one.
To be fair Sunderland were better than Stoke. But that's like saying pooh is better than stinky pooh. And I wouldn't say that.
A nice ½ empty stadium to witness a rather tedious game. Nothing too much was to be learned from this. Even if the result was more never-racking than it needed to be.
As we saw at the weekend, Alexis is back. He's running this team. He should be captain now. Scoring goals and creating. He has managed to wake up Ozil. And he manages to find a way to play alongside elephant man. If only he could find a way to find the AR8. Tonight he seemed to take a couple of steps back. When the play by-passes AR8 we made some progress. He was not with it today. I suspect he was carrying an injury and now he'll be sidelined.
But we can't play with both Gibbs and Bellend. Gibbs just has no clue what to do with the ball going forward. Funny that given that he started as a winger. Again a team like Stoke or even playing away – where we need some defense I get it. But at home against a shit team he does not help too much. And Bellend also has no real clue and looks to hand off the ball to others.
But we have Xhaka running the team now to help us along. Notice how he's introduced long, raking passes x-field. I think AR8 even copied him and perfectly played, in the first half, a x-field pass to Bellend. He's moving the ball quicker. And he started the move to Ozil that created the first goal. Defensively he's still a little suspect but he's now the platform of our team.
Unfortunately when we start to move the ball more quickly our elephant man gets left behind. Look carefully for that first goal and you'll see that neither of our center forwards made a move to attack the ball. Alexis (obviously) did and behind him was Holding. But elephant man was on the edge of the box watching and Welbeck was watching from the penalty spot.
Would you want Butman as you're back up (no pun intended) to Cech next year? On this showing he demonstrated promise and I'd prefer him to Ospina. Without him Sunderland would have lost by more than five goals. But it does not look like that goal difference matters now. It's very long odds now against us. In truth I'm a little surprised we got this close to the top 4. And it just goes to show how maddening and pathetic it was that we threw those points away against Crystal Palace, Watford and West Brom. Just a single point from any of these three games and…..(of course, Liverpool could claim the same with their.
So, onto Sunday. Let's see if we can feed the Liverpool the same lunch fare that Sp*rs ate for their West Ham game. Unlikely though as Middlesborough are truly poor – just not as poor as Shitty Stoke.
– LB7
May 13th – Stoke 1 Arsenal 4
World Beaters! Are we rediscovering how to play football? I doubt it. But today was fun. Borderline enjoyable. I mean, even Michael Dean could not destroy the game for us. Though, in the lead-up to their second goal (and the previous 5 minutes) he randomly decided to let them foul us at every opportunity.
I've been to Stoke. It's a shithole. Their stadium is decent but their fans are tossers. How dare they whistle AR8 when he comes on. And, truly, their players were are drab and dreary as their fans. They set up as though they were the away team with no intention of playing. What's the point of that when you're safely ensconced in the middle of the table without fear of relegation. It's a free option for you. Why not come out and play football – take some chances and put Arsenal under pressure? It makes no sense. It's not like they even tried to blood some younger players. Instead they tried to bore everyone to death. What's the point in that when it's your last home game of the season.
Thankfully we turned up today. At least one team played. And today Alexis finally reappeared after his long spring hibernation. Gone were the careless passes. Instead he buzzed around the field and helped create all things good. And how big was our Coq today? Immense. Playing slightly further forward he was imperious. Xhaka played a little deeper but was again excellent. That balance we've lacked previously was there today. Partly because the Stoke morons gave us such much space. But for our first goal I had initially thought it was Ozil that played that pass behind their full back for Bellerin. But, no, knock me down with a feather, it was our Coq. Bellerin then got in a great cross for the elephant man to convert.
With injuries to both wing backs we benefitted my moving Monreal up into that left wing back slot. It meant all our creativity came down that left hand side. On another day Monreal could have had two goals – he was our primary threat at 0-0. On the right Bellerin remains deep in a funk. He had moments where he sparked into action. But overall he looks lost. When receiving the ball he seems unsure what to do with it. Contrast that with the Ox who powers on forward. Naturally he does though help on the defensive side (sometimes). But neither he nor Holding is brilliant at stopping crosses coming in from that side of the pitch.
How strange was it to see us start the game aggressively and to dominate in the first half. It was slightly worrying that we were only 1-0 up at half-time. How likely would it be that we'd play two good halves of football? Fortunately today the odds were in our favour. I had have expected that the "real" Stoke would come out in the second half but thankfully they'd already left for their summer holidays (on a beach somewhere under a cloudy sky in Margate).
But that second goal was majestic. Arsenal at it's best. Alexis at his best. Beautiful to watch. It felt like slow motion the way Alexis held the ball for, what seemed like, a second too long. But even leading up to that pass we'd held onto the ball for a long time. It would be interesting to know how many passes proceed that pass. Dare I say it was Bergkampesque in precision, timing and weight of passing. And Ozil finished elegantly. A lovely example of role reversal. As has been said – Alexis is our Creator in Chief.
We were lucky enough to witness the hilarious miss of the year by Diouf; and his reward was to be taken off. There is no justice. With the introduction of the lanky Couch (intentional) Stoke reverted to type. Both with their physical play and pumping high balls into our box. We failed to cut out their crosses from our right and Couch pulled a Maradona and punched the ball into the net.
And then moments after indicating he needed to be subbed, Alexis, with a hand from Ozil and Xhaka, attacked the box as their defenders backed-off and scored the deciding goal. He left the field to a standing ovation from our travelling fans. Let's hope he's fit enough for Tuesdays game.
With all the subs AR8 made an appearance. And, playing, higher up the pitch he made an immediate impact. He could have scored twice before setting up Giroud for his second goal from within the 6 yard area.
All in all a good result. A good performance. A good day. You'd still get long odds for us clinching that last place – we left it too late. It would seem we've found a more settled framework that the team is starting to settle into. It's a little unrealistic though to measure our success against the teams we're now playing their frame of mind. When we needed this formation to prove itself – at WHL for instance – the formation and the team failed miserably. So beating the trash teams we're now playing does not prove too much. Still, it's better to win than lose (or draw) and you can only beat the shit that's put in front of you.
Up next another world-beating Sunderland team with their ex-MU manager. I hate to see this as the "easy" game. Let's hope Alexis is fit to play and WHU do us another favour on Sunday.
May 10th – Southampton 0 Arsenal 2
24 hours later the glow has yet to fade. Two 2-0 scores in a row. Knock me down with a feather. But lez be honest – Love the result hated the game.
It helps (again) that Southampton were pretty shit. I can't understand how they drew at Anfield. Though I can see why they could not score.
In the first minute the camera nearly missed their first chance. It exposed some of our flaws (there are so many….). Holding can't defend a winger and Ox (may he's hamstring rest in peace) can't defend either. But Mustafa was there to intercept.
They had a couple of chances but again our Cech man was there to literally save us. If Alexis had been playing for them we would have lost the game in the first half. Which, as is the case with our team, was pretty drab.
There's a weird symmetry in our team now. On the right we have a wingback who is exciting when going forward but very suspect while defending. Whereas on our left, Gibbs understands positional how to defend and interchanges seamlessly with Monreal. However, when it comes to creating and attacking play he is too timid and uncertain to help create anything that comes close to what Ox can do (even on just one hamstring).
One by-product of playing a back 3 is that, when Mustafa is playing, there are plenty of players to take the ball off our defenders. So, in this game at least, Mustafa only played one poor pass – which happened to be his only pass. Overall I still remain unconvinced by him. He goes to ground too often and too quickly. He overcommits in areas of the pitch where he should give himself more space. Overall though he did pretty well. Well enough that it was not obvious that our Koz was not playing.
So while the defense is more solid with this formation our creative side is suffering – as was evident in the first half. It improved in the second half because, well, we are a second half team (expect at WHL). Alexis now drops deeper to receive the ball and initiate our moves. He is weird. As the game proceeds he gets better – it's as though his competitive juices invigorate him just as other players start to tire. Ozil helped; he was more involved but he's playing more out on the left and further away from Alexis. That lovely first goal game through their inter-change when they were closer to each other.
Thereafter Southampton open up and that created more opportunities for us. As with ManU once we had that lead we looked a superior team. AR8 continues to make more runs forward – as does Ozil. And Xhaka continues to be the engine of the team. The second goal stemmed from Alexis non stop action down the left. And credit to Ramsey with the header back. It's a shame DW23 was not there to head it in but at least our elephant man was there.
It's interesting to reflect on the demise of both Ob1 and Theo. Neither have been really part of the team for a long time now. This is a positive sign. They had their chances and did not take them. Not having Lucas though is a negative. He might not defend like Gibbs but he'd be a nice option to have.
We're still too far away from the top 4. At this stage we're playing for discovery purposes. Can we discover a formation that works for us. This might be it but the personal aren't quite there. It feels like we could lose Ox for a while. Bellend again showed himself to be a mere shadow of his pre injury form. We will miss Ox (which, 3 month ago would have been a surprising statement).
I still feel we were lucky on the night. Lucky to have Cech to save us. But better to be lucky than good. Though being both at the same time would be preferable.
A quick update to MAGA:
Restrict the BPL to just us, Man U and Southampton
So onto Saturday
May 7th – Arsenal 2 Manchester United 0
Published May 7, 2017 / by BBandbeyond BBandbeyond / Leave a Comment
Finally, I can write a review. So welcome back to AA. Arsenal Anonymous. After last week's debacle, I'd been so drained of life that I could not face writing a review about the only team that turned up. My efforts at MAGA ("Make Arsenal Great Again") went up in smoke after only a week or so. So, I figured I should recalibrate expectations to MAAFTA ("Make Arsenal A Football Team Again"). And maybe I could enjoin the Great DT to negotiate the Best terms for a Good, Good deal.
Thankfully though, for today, there's an actual match to review and a team to actually dissect. This was a pleasant unexpected surprise. Not to say it was not warranted.
ManU and DarthVader set themselves up for the pity play. The largest sports franchise in the world with the worlds most expensive player influencing the media to feel oh so sorry for a team that has to play both in Europe and the Premier League at the same time. Shocking. They must be the first team to ever have to play in the league and Europe at the same time. Imagine that. Who knew? How hard for poor MU with all those injuries. Who knew there were 38 games in the league they'd have to play? It's so unfair that the less wealthy teams are put into these situations.
Last time I checked Arsenal had more games to play (and have had) over the last few weeks – and we'd not spent more than the GDP of most third world countries on summer signings. So this does not explain how DarthVader set their team up. All defensive all the time. This felt like it would be a re-match of Bolton V Blackburn Rovers.
Except today we were not quite Bolton. And AR8 was not quite Aaron Ramsey. There I said it. And let me go further into unchartered territory – Ramsey played quite well today. OK, that's enough wild praise for one game. I'm starting to ponder whether AR8 is not quite as shit as I still think he is. Today we saw both sides. His defensive work is shabby and his distribution is poor. But when he gets into the final third he's the only one who makes those old Freddy runs. The realization hit that Ar8 is the Welsh equivalent of Swedish underwear stud – without the red hair. In the first half he induced a fine save from DerGear. And multiple times AR8 made key runs behind their defense and often into their box. Often times it was our CIC (Creator In Chief) the re-discovered Alexis who supplied the passes.
It was noticeable today that with Danny instead of the elephant man playing up front that we were more nimble and dynamic. Though I'm not convinced (even with the bullet header) by DW23, it does allow Alexis more movement and freedom. Ozil – until we went 2-0 up – was fairly quiet and found it difficult to get into good positions to break down the Blackburn-like defense erected across the pitch. Even the Ox was limited to a few speculative shots. But behind him he has the boy Holding rather than BigEars. Aside from the sideways pass Holding made to their BigEars – who ten years ago would have scored – it's refreshing to see him play. Immediately after that fuck-up, in the same position he launched a left footed back pass to Cech – a great sign of no fear and natural ability.
In front of them alongside AR8 was the rebranded Xhaka. He now owns our midfield. Everything runs through him. He picks the ball up from our back 3 and defines our play. Often Alexis comes to him to receive the ball. Ozil has yet to figure out where we really fits in this new set up. But Xhaka clearly has. If only we had Santi alongside him. That would be a real platform.
In the first half nearly all our good moves came down the left hand side. Evidentially there was a match last Sunday. Anyway, in that game, Gibbs got pillared – unfairly I think. Today you saw more growth and development from him. He defends well – complements Monreal – and loves going forward. His crossing needs work but then he's not been playing regularly for the last 50 years. He needs time. Of course, after 50 games he'd still not get into anyone else's team. But he's all we've got currently and today he made good contributions – he was an asset.
The rejuvenated one aka The Ox again reveled in the attacking play down the right. He's not quite figured out how to link up with Holding. But the English side of the team shows promise. In the first half Holding played a defense splitting ball that Ox hesitated over. Often though Ox gets caught out defensively – he does not have the position acumen yet. Hopefully that will come because going forward he's an Electric Ox. Todays cross for the DW23 was reminiscent of the one for Monreal against the other Manchester lot.
So I'm still not convinced by this new formation. Against a better team (see last week) I would have worried. But today, against a poor poor ManU team we grew into the game and thoroughly deserved the win. The last three months have been traumatic. I've only been comforted by memories of the last 20 years and remain fearful of the next 20. But today we deserved to win, were clearly the better team and started to show some signs that we might be figuring out how to pass the ball to each other and create chances. After Ox provided that perfect cross for DW23 we seemed to find some swagger in our game. I don't want to support Bolton, West Brom or Stoke. I want to see us play football. It's not just all about the results. And at 2-0 up you could see some confidence find it's way back into the team. We had many more chances to add to the score while they only had a few chances. And then Koz was excellent at the back marshaling the defense. It was nice to see our Coq reappear in public and even more amusing to see him launch himself in front of a Rooney shot. But they barely tested Cech today. They really were poor. But maybe the best part of their performance was their managers interview. He was quite delightful in deflecting from the non-existent performance today. With players like Mata, Mika-whatever, Martial and their BigEars their fans had a right to expect more. But they had no game. And no intent to play. That is exactly the kind of team I would detest supporting. But nonetheless DarthVader manager to spin their performance into a thing of beauty and endless chances they failed to take. I've said it before and I've said it again. What monumental wanker this guy is. He surely has the most toxic personality in all of football. A narcissistic prick. It's always about him. Remind you of anyone? If DarthVader and DT had a love child I do think though it would look like their Rooney – that would explain his ears and his voice.
Today I did not sit there in fear. It's very rare you'll come up against at top 6 team that is to abject (unless, that it, we played ourselves). After our two goals there was very little to be fearful of apart from our future – or lack of it. Even with the weekend results, it's destined that we'll miss out on the top 4 this year. We really have had to work hard to miss out. Liverpool have tried to help us as have City. We should admire their generosity but understand that we are just not worthy. Last Sunday proved that (if there was any doubt).
So enjoy todays result. Remember, it's Arsenal so we're bound to come crashing down to earth at Southampton. The 4-0 thrashing at their place is still fresh in my painful memory banks. All I ask for is not to be embarrassed. Conversely, if we were embarrassed maybe that would generate real change at AFC. However, with no football IQ to be found anywhere outside of AW it's pretty clear there is no-one at the board who knows the first thing about football. Rather than be focused on AW and his decision the future of this club is only at risk because of the negligence of our ownership and our CEO. It is their responsibility to plan for the future and put the necessary long term structures in place. Instead there is a void where leadership should be. I would not expect nor want to hear form the board during the season. I don't want to hear them discuss the AW situation in-season – even when we're going through our own implosion. I'm not interested in their words. It's their actions that count. So don't' get sidetrack by the bullshit you hear about AFC just focus on what actually changes. My money is still on no change at AFC. Two More years. Two More Years. ½ a DT term. Yikes.
So how do we MAGA? That, dear reader, requires more thought and consideration. In lieu of that let me leave you with my MAGA contributions:
Decapitate Tony Gayle
Cut out the tongue of Stewart Robson
Sign up Kate Upton in place of Theo. Start her as our naked right-winger. Instant pleasure.
Likewise with Jennifer Anniston. Instant improvement in team chemistry
Donate AR8 to a charity of anyones choice; throw in Sanogo (remember him) for the hell of it
Extend the contract of DarthVader at Man U for another ten years
Have Real Madrid sign as their new manager Potachino

Why You May Want to Stop Using PayPal Right Now
⇑ back to "Marketplace"
12:00PM EST 2/28/2019	 Carly Hoilman/Faithwire
(REUTERS/Amir Cohen)
PayPal CEO Dan Schulman recently revealed that his company has teamed up with the progressive Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to determine which groups or individuals should be banned from using the online money transfer service. The decision follows a growing trend of businesses and social media platforms who seek to enforce their own standards of acceptable beliefs and values by targeting so-called "hate speech."
What's particularly concerning about PayPal's decision to enlist the SPLC to root out "hate groups" is the organization's long history of targeting conservatives and those who hold traditional Christian views or speak out against Islamist extremism. The progressive legal organization has sought to silence Christian groups like D. James Kennedy Ministries, the Family Research Council and Alliance Defending Freedom by deeming them "extremist" and "hate groups."
A Growing Trend
As Faithwire reported last May, Alliance Defending Freedom, which defended Christian baker Jack Phillips in a landmark Supreme Court victory, was removed from Amazon Smile—an Amazon platform that donates a small percentage of proceeds from eligible items to the nonprofit of customers' choosing—after the online shopping giant partnered with the SPLC to flag hate groups.

Elkhart's 'Tent City' residents forced to pack up camp
By Kasey Chronis
You could call it eviction day.
A group of homeless people in Elkhart has been asked to leave the place they call home. For the last time, residents of 'Tent City' packed up camp.
City officials gave residents just over a month to vacate the wooded area; Wednesday being the last day to do so.
The property has been on Mayor Tim Neese's radar since he took office in January, calling it both a safety and health hazard to its residents and nearby pedestrian traffic.
"This has been their home but you can't live on public property," said Mayor Tim Neese, Elkhart.
Tucked into the woods near sixth and Dr. King Dr., "NO TRESPASSING" signs now mark the area.
"It's just not good to live in a woods," said Neese.
Just four weeks ago, the property was crowded with homeless individuals; now, it sits quiet.
"There's some safety and health concerns," said Neese. "There are some wells. Some people have said they're as deep as six feet where individuals can fall into."
Wednesday, only garbage, clothing and other personal possessions were strewn across the wooded area. Items seemingly left behind.
"I'm hopeful we are going to be able to remedy a situation that just hasn't been good for a couple of years," said Neese.
Formerly owned and operated by the railroad, the area will be cleared for new developments.
The folks who were kicked out have several options. Faith Mission is one. Just down the street from 'Tent City,' the organization is starting its amnesty program early.
"This is specifically for those that are staying down in 'Tent City' that maybe haven't found alternative housing yet, so that they have a safe place during the evening to stay," said Mike Perez, director of resource and development, Faith Mission.
It is also a place where folks can shower and have a free meal.
"I spoke with one gentleman on Sunday and he indicated it's tough to go to a job interview when you haven't had a shower," said Neese.
"It's very important for all of us to feel confident, when you're out, especially if you've been in a bad situation, to kind of get back on your feet," said Perez.
Mayor Neese says at least 23 employers in Elkhart have shown interest in hiring former 'Tent City' residents. Anyone wishing to apply for employment through the city can call 574-294-5471.
He also says there's no set timeline for developing the area; however, there are currently two companies interested in purchasing the property.
Meantime overgrown brush will start to be cleared to make it look presentable and marketable.

Nashville SC offseason roster mechanism calendar
By Tim Sullivan December 1, 2020
3 Comments on Nashville SC offseason roster mechanism calendar
The previous post with information about important offseason events was organized by the byzantine mechanisms. Let's organize it by date, yeah?
Dec. 1 (that's today!)
Clubs that made it past the first round of the playoffs submit their contract options and bona fide offers* within 24 hours of their elimination from the playoffs. Teams that missed the playoffs or were eliminated earlier had to submit by 1 p.m. EST Nov. 30.
Although the league's deadline is firm, clubs themselves are responsible for publicizing their decisions, so the announcements and public knowledge of those decisions is not beholden to any specific timeline.
* This is complicated to describe as a small piece of a single sentence! More clearly: players who remain under multi-year contracts (or have had the option for an additional year exercised), those who are no longer under contract (or have had the option for an additional year declined), and those with whom the club has right-of-first-refusal and is continuing to negotiate.
Dec. 2-13
Dec. 2: Loser of Seattle/Dallas must submit roster decisions
Dec. 4: Loser of SKC/Minnesota must submit roster decisions
Dec. 7: Loser of Columbus/New England must submit roster decisions
Dec. 8: Loser of Western Conference Final must submit roster decisions
Dec. 13: Loser of MLS Cup must submit roster decisions.
All roster decisions should be publicized by this point.
Half-day trade window open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST. Last year, this was a two-day window, but most years have seen only a half-day window. Nashville SC acquired Dax McCarty and Dave Romney during this window last season (though the moves were reported prior to that time).
The window also happened before the roster deadline last year, so it's a slightly different dynamic. A lot of "the rights to [player]" moves are probably going to happen this year – or maybe not, since other mechanisms could facilitate the signing of that player – with the receiving club signing an out-of-contract player to a new contract after the previous club declined to sign him (but still held MLS rights).
The list of players eligible to be selected by Austin FC in the 2020 Expansion Draft is released by MLS. Nashville SC's front office will be able to protect 12 players (and four will be automatically protected). Players eligible for re-entry (stage one), waivers, and free agency are also listed by MLS. Those lists are released at the following times:
10 a.m. EST: Waivers/Expansion draft
11 a.m. EST: List of free agents
Noon EST: Re-entry
1 p.m. EST: Also Expansion Draft (your guess is as good as mine as to which time is outdated)
MLS Expansion Draft takes place. Austin FC will add five players to its roster, selecting from a handful of other MLS teams.
Waiver process takes place at 1 p.m. Free Agency also opens at 1 p.m.
Re-entry phase one takes place at 1 p.m. Nashville SC selected Eric Miller from New York City FC in this process last year.
10 a.m. EST: List of players available for Re-entry phase two is released
1 p.m. EST: Re-entry phase two begins
There is still no date set for the MLS SuperDraft (the traditional college draft), but given that the majority of NCAA leagues will play a Spring season – only the ACC and Sun Belt played this Fall – it's likely teams will be drafting more to stash guys on USL loans after the conclusion of their college seasons than hope for early contributors.

It's the picture not the frame

'At that moment, when I saw the three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, I was petrified. [He] ... was lying lifeless face down in the surf, in his red t-shirt and dark blue shorts folded to his waist. The only thing I could do was to make his outcry heard.' Nilufer Demir, photographer.
The tragic picture of Aylan Kurdi, the drowned child on a beach, is a vivid testament to the power of images to generate passionate responses. It has transformed the narrative around the world and delivered an extraordinary outpouring of empathy and action. Hundreds and thousands of people mobilised and showed their support for refugees by marching, campaigning and giving.
It challenges our own 'rules' not to use images of those who are dead and our concerns about images that might have an impact on the dignity of those portrayed.
Are we protecting Aylan Kurdi, or ourselves from his tragic story?
However this imperative to build positive images can work against our determination to build support for people affected by poverty, displacement and conflict.
We are caught in a bit of a bind – worried that people on the one hand are losing interest in development and then unable to find the vivid and compelling visual images that communicate the problems.
Visiting the offices of some international development organisations you might think you are in an upmarket travel agent – the images all jollity and lovely landscapes. Is this the reality of inequality, poverty and war?
The Independent has taken the decision to publish these images because, among the often glib words about the 'ongoing migrant crisis', it is all too easy to forget the reality of the desperate situation facing many refugees.
There have been many interpretations of the dramatic – and pitiful – photograph from artists all over the world.
We have a responsibility to bear witness; to reach into the hearts of our audiences and bring them closer to the appalling experiences of people living with poverty, oppression and violence.
Those who have seen, at first hand, the horror that a mother experiences when her child is near death because of malnutrition, who have seen the pain and terror of those affected by disease and the effects of brutality and war must continue to find ways to tell those stories to the world.
Most people have their own worries and concerns and need to have these visceral realties brought home to them with real passion.
Compelling photography has to cut through inertia and indifference and turn emotion into positive action; to achieve this we must use vivid, truthful, bold images
Important, relevant pictures, critical agents for change can be difficult and upsetting, we must not sacrifice the power of an image that is telling a story that matters and turn it into something well meaning but bland.
The iconic images, so essential to communicating brutality, inequality, conflict and poverty, cannot at the same time be expected to build a comfortable and positive narrative. We have to show the problem and the solution. We have to show people's strength and power, but also the forces that undermine their potential.
Some of the most exceptional photographs I have worked with have been finely balanced and complex. They have communicated jeopardy, empathy and passion and have driven strong emotions: anger, compassion and even outrage. They have shown both tragedy and heroism.
The critical challenge for all of us working with images is to understand your message and your audience. We must work with great photographers, who understand the story, share our values and will work bravely to describe both the courage and resilience of poor people but also their suffering and their pain. We must have the courage to tell the truth however painful and uncomfortable.
The transformative impact of Aylan's picture cannot be underestimated in changing the image of those seeking refuge. Its use, sanctioned by his bereaved father, shows us all the horrors the refugees endure with such courage in their search for safety and sanctuary.

Escaping military service and kidnap, one Eritrean woman's Ordeal
October 29, 2012 R.KagumireEritrea Military service, Eritrea women refugees, Eritrean refugees in Horn of Africa, Eritrean refugees in Sudan, Sudan, Wholeheartedly Sudaniya 2 Comments
By Reem Abbas
When Fatima (not real name) escaped Sawa, a military camp in Eritrea, she had already been there for two long years doing the compulsory military training that is supposed to end after 18 months.
For many young Eritreans, the service never quit ends. The months become years and many youth, men and women, find themselves stuck in the military service for over a decade.
Fatima and five of her friends escaped one night from the camp without any sense of direction. They walked for three days until they reached the border with Sudan, digging up mud to drink water and having nothing to eat.
There, they found themselves face-to-face with Sudanese soldiers who detained them for two days. The rest escaped except Fatima. She was left behind and remains in Sudan, ten years later.
Fatima was then taken to a military outpost and not long after, late at night, she was rapped by one of the soldiers.
I met Fatima through a friend who found out about her story through another Eritrean in Khartoum. I didn't even hesitate for a minute when I read my friend's email and agreed to meet her the next day. My friend thought her story was worth telling, I felt humbled by the opportunity to tell her story.
I opened the door to find an Eritrean man David (not real name) who is probably in his 50s. And inside there was Fatima. Although I've read a guideline to interviewing victims of violence online at the Dart Center's website, all of a sudden, I didn't feel like I could do this. How could I remain composed through all of this? This was a huge challenge, but I felt a responsibility to tell this story and look for other women who have suffered a similar ordeal.
First, I chatted with Fatima and David about Sudan. In fact we talked about if they liked tea sugary or not too sweet. The conversation flowed smoothly and Fatima began telling her story and answering my questions without hesitation.
As Fatima spoke, her thin body drowned in her Sudanese toub (a cloth worn by Sudanese women) and her face testified to years of suffering endured. At 24, Fatima entered Sudan in 2000 and until now, in her 34th year she's still stuck in Sudan.
At the military outpost, after her brutal rape, the soldier took Fatima to live with him in his tent.
"I later became very sick and I found out that I was pregnant," said Fatima. She said she tried to escape at least three times, but was always caught and returned to the soldier, a man she had two children with.
After she had her first child, she says she halfheartedly accepted her reality and realized it is very difficult to escape. She stayed there, raising her two children with a man who verbally abused her and sometimes, beat her.
Their house was a tent inside the military camp with no access to electricity or the basics. She cooked with coal or wood and never left the tent.
"He worried that I would get to know people if I left the tent, so I never left, I never went to the market, I know I was in Kassala, but never saw it," said Fatima.
For 10 years, Fatima was forcibly living with a Sudanese soldier. As time passed by, she learned Arabic, a language she did not speak a word of when she came from her homeland.
"When I was alone, I cried until my eyesight was almost gone," said Fatima who was holding her glasses.

South Sudan Independence; A new journey begins
July 8, 2011 R.KagumireJohn Garang, Republic of South Sudan, Southern Sudan, Sudan 13 Comments
Tonight at midnight, South Sudan will be covered with jubilations, from Juba to Warab, Torit to Yambio, Wau to Raga and all other corners of the new republic. Several dignitaries from around the world will be there to give their blessing to the divorce and for the new nation on Saturday.
And the dream of many like John Garang de Mabior the great South Sudanese fallen leader will come to pass. He once said:
"It is not my intention to change the Comprehensive Peace Agreement but I must say South Sudan needs its own independence. I see it coming even when am not the leader of SPLA/M."
South Sudanese reporter, Anthony Kamba wrote a piece capturing what the mood in Juba was like ahead of the historic day.
The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon wrong an opinion and called it Standing by South Sudan and in there, he captured the countries challenges but most important the opportunities.
"…South Sudan has remarkable potential. With substantial oil reserves, huge amounts of arable land and the Nile flowing through its center, South Sudan could grow into a prosperous, self-sustaining nation capable of providing security, services and employment for its population."
It's this optimism that I carry a few hours from the independence declaration. I was chatting with a South Sudanese friend and he said to me to understand the feeling I would need to talk to people who lived in places like Kenya where colonial struggles claimed many and lived long to see the Union Jack come down.
South Sudan has been born at time when Africa has made substantial steps in development unlike the 60s. With a population that is not even half that of my country Uganda, South Sudan will need its neighbours who are already a step ahead in all sectors and am optimistic they will be a good asset. Women in Sudan are more than 60 percent of the population, yet 80 percent of them are illiterate. Empowerment of women of South Sudan will be key to the country improving the gloomy development indicators faster. I remember I met one woman on one of the trips to Sudan who said they didn't want to be like women of Eritrea "who fought but in the end they were pushed out of the system and told their place was only in the kitchen once independence was declared."
In April I was in Juba working with grassroots women leaders. Juba is a melting pot. It's where East, Central Africa meets the north and horn of Africa. It's one of the most diverse African capitals I have visited. My Boda Boda rider was a young man about 20 years old. He was born in Torit, he lived in Masindi in western Uganda then Kenya before finally coming back to Sudan. He speaks about ten languages. Language is important for integration and most Sudanese have spent many years living in Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia. These experiences can be harnessed to bring about changes in the new republic. South Sudan can take advantage of the booming sectors like education in Uganda where graduates spend years with no job.
It can get professionals from regional capitals who are not being put to use by their countries. These young people can be good for South Sudan as it starts from scratch. The new rich country where production is almost none existent will put pressure on its neighbours for some time because it is a great market for almost everything from food to industrial products to human resource. This can make South Sudan prosperous some years down the road.
But the all this optimism can only mean much if South Sudan can tame its ethnic divisions, corruption and the culture of hero worship. I know dangers of this culture because I am Ugandan. Twenty years after people fought to take power, we are still told if you didn't fight for the five years in the bush, you are probably useless and you shouldn't demand for good governance and a your share of the national cake. So Sudan must keep those heroes and heroines accountable. All Sudanese paid the price in this liberation and the country's ruling party must start embracing alternative views.
I remember at one of the meetings a woman told me that in South Sudan if you don't support SPLM you are equated to Bashir's spy or the enemy. This stifling of people's right to choose a party and oppose policies the way they see fit must be abandoned. And then the tribalism! You don't want to see another Kenya of tribal politics and high inequality in the new country.
SPLM government must ensure they work for the good of all South Sudanese and shouldn't hold the country at ransom and its oil revenues. The optimism rests on whether Salva Kiir and his government can deliver that country that many desired and fought for and died for. A country where they could be free and be free indeed. When the midnight bells rings today, it will be a celebration of many thankful souls. Thankful that after all the loss and despair they went through they have lived to see this historic day. A day I pray will have even greater meaning when people of South Sudan look back some years from now.


70's style. a tiny house under construction. Cheridomingo. colored gels over cheap lights. friends.
a collection of photographs captured on a night in riverside at a house that was an abandoned warehouse with cool people and new friends and great music.
super spontaneous hiking trip with anthony, dahlia and will to see the snow after this big storm that just came through. it was so pretty!! hiked through icehouse canyon saddle through streams and waterfalls, and huge blankets of beautiful white snow. fresh and clean, like little pillows of water hugging the mountains. one of my favorite things is catching a photo of when the light shines through the plants and casts shadows on the snow, almost as if it's sparkling.
this super cool zine called pinstriped zine put together a show at timewarp records this past saturday. got some shots of cheridomingo and chill trigger.
I cant even begin to wrap my head around this one. Ive been a fan of La Dispute for so many years and to be able to photograph them has always been a huge goal of mine. Last night, watching them support Circa was a beautiful moment, heads bobbing, people swaying. Such Small Hands.
Last night, Circa Survive came through LA with one of my favorite bands La Dispute. I was able to capture this show and I really can't decide which photos pick but i'll throw a few in here. What an incredible year it has been being able to photograph them twice!
my beautiful friend taylor took this photo of me while we were at a show, i think in echo park? i cant remember. i'm always weird about having photos of myself taken, maybe that's why i hide behind my camera. but this is film, kodak portra, and it makes me love this even more.
there's something really therapeutic about moving into a new space. throwing away things you no longer need and making room for new. a little cave of mine.
been working on this music video for cheridomingo lately. my perfectionist side of me wants the color to be just right; the feeling of a memory, slightly removed from it all, almost like you're viewing it from a distance. i've been obsessing, back and forth through different looks trying to find the most pleasing palette. we shot this at dahlia's house in san pedro, and her beautiful taste in interior decorating really gave this a vibe i'm all about. mel styled the guys and i couldn't be more pleased with it. the more and more i color, the more and more i wish i was doing this more. giving vibes and creating moods. i love making art so much.
I've been working in West Hollywood for about 4 months now, and sometimes I take a different route home and I drive past this really fun pink building on melrose. There is always a huge crowd of people out front taking photos and I thought how cool it would be to photograph Cheridomingo in front of this pink wall. So, here there are, mixed with some other cool shots we got walking around melrose blvd.
this little dive bar in downtown la always gives me the good feels. pirate themed, good cider, great food, and always fun music. cheridomingo played last night, and these photos came out really good. very reminiscent of the scene in 500 days of summer.
damn. i've never had my work printed or published before and to be apart of this incredible project along side all of these other crazy good music photographers feels so good. this has inspired me to print more of my work so i'm going to make this a goal! thank you adam for including me in this magazine!!

Q: MySql foreign key constraint issue I am trying to develop a university database and am stuck with few tables throwing a constraint error. I have tried various workarounds:
1. Checking my eninge status. It's INNODB across all tables.
2. On Update On Delete parameters(although I am not sure if I am doing that correctly).
3. Checking the NULL reference and the data types. Foreign keys referred to have the same data types as the primary key in the table which is making the reference.
    This is my query:
CREATE TABLE Faculty (
FacNo         CHAR(11)      NOT NULL,
FacFirstName  VARCHAR(30)   NOT NULL,
 FacLastName   VARCHAR(30)   NOT NULL,
FacCity       VARCHAR(30)   NOT NULL,
FacState      CHAR(2)       NOT NULL,
FacDept       CHAR(6)       NULL,
FacRank       CHAR(4)       NULL,
FacSalary     DECIMAL(10,2) NULL,

FacZipCode    CHAR(10)      NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT FacultyPK PRIMARY KEY (FacNo),
CONSTRAINT SupervisorFK FOREIGN KEY (FacSupervisor) REFERENCES Faculty
ON DELETE NO ACTION

This is the OFFERING table making the reference:

CONSTRAINT OfferingPK PRIMARY KEY (OfferNo),
CONSTRAINT CourseFK FOREIGN KEY (CourseNo) REFERENCES Course,
CONSTRAINT FacultyFK FOREIGN KEY (FacNo) REFERENCES Faculty  )ENGINE =     INNODB;

A: Your foreign key references are lacking columns:
CONSTRAINT SupervisorFK FOREIGN KEY (FacSupervisor) REFERENCES Faculty(Facno)

CONSTRAINT CourseFK FOREIGN KEY (CourseNo) REFERENCES Course(CourseNo),

CONSTRAINT FacultyFK FOREIGN KEY (FacNo) REFERENCES Faculty(FacNo)

Here is a SQL Fiddle.  It doesn't have the CourseNo foreign key, because that isn't defined in the question.

MONTINHOS da LUZ - 3 Bed House with Charme, 244m2, large pool area, 800m to the beach Praia da Luz.
The house is earthquake-proof and therefore very stable built. The walls are 30cm thick, which makes the house warm in winter and cool in summer.
The house will be sold with high quality furniture.


A sparkling engagement ring accentuating a natural unheated yellow sapphire from Sri Lanka and flanked by two pear-shaped diamonds. The central stone is performed in the finest cushion cut. Numerous internal reflections of the sapphire, intensified by the sparkle of the diamonds, result in a flickering sunlit appearance of the ring set in white and yellow gold.


A great value pack of both the Perrin's Blend ointment and the Creme Complete anti-ageing formula designed to correct sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. Used together these two products can support your skin to heal.
Usually, Perrin's Blend is used at night, and the Crème Complete during the day.
The Crème Complete is a corrective cream, which is yellow in colour. Unlike the Perrin's Blend, the Crème Complete, like any cream, is easily spread on the skin. Over time, use of the Crème Complete has resolved abnormal skin tissue and discoloured sun-damaged areas such as actinic keratosis and age spots. These areas will often peel away and return to healthy, normal looking skin. It has also had an extremely positive effect on Lichen Sclerosis. The Crème Complete is less concentrated than the Perrin's Blend so it may take longer to work. Often people use the Crème Complete alongside Perrin's Blend. This is especially helpful if the lesion is on your face and you need to be in public without a bandage on your face or a red ointment. Then you can use the Perrin's Blend at night and the Crème Complete during the day or when out in public.
UV rays can slow down progress in some conditions and reverse improvements. So covering the area and using a sunscreen – like the Perrin's Sunscreen is important. If your condition is widespread you may want to wear clothing that keeps the whole area out of contact with UV rays.
Perrin's Blend is a natural blend of powerful antioxidants. Every ingredient in Perrin's Blend can be purchased at a health food store and taken internally. Made with Raw Honey purchased directly from a honey farm, Grape Seed Extract, Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C), Natural Vitamin E, Grape Seed Oil, Alpha Lipoic Acid and NAC (N-AcetylCysteine).
Perrin's Blend is a thick sticky burgundy colored ointment used to correct specific spots of abnormal skin growth: skin lesions, moles, actinic keratosis, warts. Most of the customer testimonies that concern actinic keratosis and skin lesions involve the Perrin's Blend™.
The Creme Complete contains the greatest combination and highest concentration of restorative and corrective ingredients of any of our creams and moisturizers. The Crème Complete is completely natural. The Crème Complete restores, moisturizes, and protects.
Creme Complete is organic aloe vera, grape seed oil, beeswax, vegetable glycerin, organic cocoa butter, natural vitamin E in soy oil, organic castor oil, vegetable derived emulsifying wax, almond oil, organic safflower oil, organic extra virgin olive oil, honey, lavender oil, lecithin, vitamin C, n-acetyl cysteine, resveratrol, alpha lipoic acid, sodium bicarbonate, grape seed extract, coQ10, biotin, vitamin A & D, lemon oil, frankincense oil, peppermint oil, geranium oil, cornstarch, cream of tartar, and rice flour.
It is important to follow the directions closely and be diligent in the application.
Directions: Apply Perrin's Blend on the designated area and cover with a bandage. Do not wash off. When bathing keep the affected area covered. After bathing reapply Perrin's Blend and cover with a new bandage. Perrin's Blend can be applied daily or as often as desired. We recommend applying at least twice daily. Separation will probably occur so it may be necessary to stir daily or before each application. It is also helpful to take grape seed extract supplements.
– Avoid contact with clothes. Perrin's Blend will stain. Perrin's Blend is a thick, honey-based burgundy colored ointment.
– Although Perrin's Blend has an extended shelf-life we recommend using it within one year.
– If thickening occurs thin with pure honey.
We have seen the best results when the place being treated is in constant contact with Perrin's Blend™, 24 hours a day. That usually means covering the area with a bandage to prevent the ointment from being rubbed off. We have also seen better results when the place remains covered when bathing to prevent a deep cleaning of the area, resulting in all the ointment being washed off on a microscopic level. We recommend changing the bandage after bathing and applying a new application of Perrin's Blend, and to avoid having a wet bandage on your skin. Blister Band-aids are a good option as they are waterproof and do not need to be changed as often. Keep in mind that this is the optimal approach. The area will need to be washed off periodically to prevent a build up of adhesive and for general sanitation purposes. If a growth is on a person's face then it may not be necessary to cover the area since the Perrin's Blend would probably not be rubbed off as easily as it would be on other areas of the body.
Sometimes Perrin's Blend™ is used at night, and the Crème Complete during the day.
The Crème Complete™ is corrective cream, light yellow in color. Unlike the Perrin's Blend, the Crème Complete is spreadable. With extended use of the Crème Complete™ we have seen abnormal skin tissue and discolored sun-damaged areas such as actinic keratosis and age spots peel away and return to healthy, normal looking skin. It has also had an extremely positive effect on Lichen Sclerosus. The Crème Complete™ is less concentrated than the Perrin's Blend™ and it can take longer to work. Sometimes a person will use the Crème Complete™ in conjunction with Perrin's Blend™ if they can't use the Perrin's Blend™ all the time. For instance, if the lesion is on a person's face and they have to be in public and don't want to have a bandage on their face or a red ointment, then they will use the Perrin's Blend at night and when at home and the Crème Complete™ during the day or when out in public.
Keep in mind that UV rays can slow down progress in some conditions and reverse improvements. That is another reason why covering the area is a good idea. But if a person's condition is wide spread they may want to wear clothing that keeps the places unexposed to UV rays.
Sometimes there can be a reoccurrence if the usage is stopped too early. Sometimes a person will remove a skin lesion or actinic keratosis (pre cancerous sun-damaged spots) and will discontinue as soon as the place appears to be gone, and that is when the place may return. We recommend if a person experiences a correction in their skin disorder that they continue treatment at least a week (if using Perrin's Blend™) or use the Crème Complete™ for a period of time.
We encourage our customers to read the Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Lichen Sclerosus, addressed and answered by Judy Perrin, based on her communication and conversations with countless individuals who suffer from LS.
Application frequency varies. Customers who use the Crème Complete™ and Nutra Cream for lichen sclerosus will apply the products anywhere from 2-6 times daily. Customers who use the Perrin's Blend will normally use it as a night treatment, or mix it with the Crème Complete to make it more spreadable.
A Frequently Asked Question concerning Lichen Sclerosus: What products does a person need for Lichen Sclerosus?
Many have called and emailed asking what to order for Lichen Sclerosus. In order to answer this I have written in detail, from my knowledge about the products and from customer input, about this subject. Possibly the strongest attack against the disease, Perrin's Blend, is a sticky ointment By far it contains the highest concentration of the antioxidants Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) and Grape Seed Extract, and Honey than any of our other products. For this reason it is possibly the most aggressive against Lichen Sclerosis (LS), yet if person is very raw and irritated, Perrin's Blend might be too harsh to start with because of the burning it might cause.
Some who have been severely irritated have begun with Nutra Cream, our mildest cream, for a few days before even beginning with Creme Complete. Nutra Cream, although higher in grape-seed extract than Crème Complete, contains less of the burning antioxidants, such as Vitamin C and NAC. It is a thicker cream, thereby creating more of a protective shield against urination stinging and itching.
I first suggested using Nutra Cream to a mother with a ten-year-old daughter with LS. Within 3 days of using the Nutra Cream the mother called to say her daughter's intense itching had stopped and the skin looked healthier. We don't have this mother's report on our Web site, but she wrote a testimony for Oprah's forum for LS that you can read by going there. Another lady who was so badly inflamed that even using bathroom tissue caused bleeding, also started with Nutra Cream and has reported very good results.
Many order two products to start with – Perrin's Blend and Cream Complete – beginning first with Creme Complete, using it for a few days before introducing Perrin's Blend. If ordering these two together, be sure to scroll down to the on-line store to get the combination special price.

This Art 101 series of packages on how to use various media -- oils, pastels, watercolors, etc. Nothing very complex, obviously, judging by the size of the boxes and the fact that they're being sold in a Target endcap. But they are clearly labeled as "Art 101" and thus they're implied to be pretty introductory lessons. But that first one on the shelf, "Manga Cartooning", seems distinctly out of place with the others. Even checking against the cross-sell promotions on the back of the boxes, it was the only one teaching a very specific style within a broader medium, compared to teaching a medium in and of itself.
I'm left wondering what exactly they were thinking. Cashing in popularity seems a little bit of stretch because if you were doing that, why bother with all of those formats? And how would manga be that different from the course on drawing?


Why should you use a sport or tuning Vario? Even with the original Vario and the use of Dr.Pulley SR slide rollers and SP sliding pieces you get a tremendous performance improvement, approaching close to the values of the special and more expensive tuning vario .
It makes sense to replace the original with a sport or tuning Vario, if it needs to be replaced anyway, for example. Whether it is because the discs have scratches or the ramps are worn (the "tracks" of the rolls). If the boss shows signs of rust or scratches, replacement of the vario is announced. But there are reasons to replace an original new Vario: For example, the original vario design with the guide pins on the cam plate of Kymco Downtown 125i is not solved very well. This is the reason for problems with uneven or jerky acceleration.
The Dr.Pulley Varios are made much better than originals Varios. The edges and ramps are better smoothed, the overall weight is reduced. The ramps have a slightly different shape and are extended by about 1mm, which provides for a better acceleration curve and increases the Vmax a little bit.
Unlike other manufacturers Dr.Pulley tuning Varios used in generally the same roller size as used in the original. Therefore, no new purchase of rollers is necessary. Dr.Pulley quality sliding pieces are included with the system.
Roll container disc, counter-pressure plate, disc ventilation, some models with some thin washer rings to adjust belt rising height, SP sliders, boss.
Recommended for best results: Dr.Pulley Sliding rolls 12gr. (heavy drivers 11,5gr.), no washer ring fitted.

Fidelity National says buyout talks end
By IBT Staff Reporter
Fidelity National Information Services Inc confirmed that talks regarding the sale of the company have ended, and the payment processor will now go for a leveraged recapitalization with a substantial share buyback.
A consortium bidding for Fidelity National on Monday pulled out because of disagreement over price, derailing what would have been the biggest buyout since the credit crisis, sources told Reuters.
Leveraged recap typically sees a company leveraging itself up in order to pay a dividend to shareholders or to buy its own shares. Such a process raises shareholder return without an outright sale, although it does come with a lot of risk.
A leveraged buyout for payment processing firm Fidelity could have been worth around $15 billion and would have heralded the return of mega-buyouts after a three-year drought.
Blackstone Group LP , TPG Capital LP and Thomas H. Lee Partners were in talks to buy the company, valued at around $11 billion with $3 billion of debt, for about $32 a share, sources said.
Fidelity shares dropped as much as 8 percent to $26.30 before the bell. The shares, which have rallied since talks of a buyout first surfaced, closed at $28.88 Monday on the New York Stock Exchange.
