Let The Summer Tournaments Commence
Jun 2nd, 2016 by 'holic
The club season over, your average blogger (I'm way ahead of you pal!) is hoping that international football provides a rich seam of material. To be fair the friendlies ahead of a major tournament are exercises in experimentation that sometimes work, and sometimes don't. Tonight (Thursday) I will mostly be looking back, for obvious reasons.
I'm well aware that this blog, indeed most Arsenal blogs, is/are read by many who, at best, don't give a monkeys about England's preparation. The good news for you is that Hector Bellerin has been named in Spain's squad for the Euros and provided his first assist in their comprehensive drubbing of South Korea. His elevation to full international is a just reward for a superb domestic season with the Gunners.
Then there is something of a bittersweet moment, Tomas Rosicky's wonderful strike for the Czech Republic in their win over Russia has surely made him a starter for the Euros? In the same team Petr Cech became his country's most capped player in a comfortable win over Malta. I will definitely be following them in France.
It isn't just competition time in Europe. Alexis has been involved in Chile's defeats by Jamaica and Mexico ahead of the Copa America Centenario. The holders may not look in good shape for the tournament which is being held in the USA but it would be foolish to rule them out before the tournament proper kicks off.
Sooner or later one has to consider Jack Wilshere and England's prospects in the Euros. Forgive me, but I was born in London, and I fully appreciate the impact of a successful tournament for Roy Hodgson's charges. Unlike Chile, England have qualified with a perfect record and have won their three warm-up friendlies. We cannot ignore, however, that the performances in the run up to the tournament have been less than convincing.
As an Arsenal man I will point out that tonight's performance against Portugal took a turn for the better when Jack Wilshere was introduced with around 25 minutes to play. Due to his lack of matches in the Premier League this season he has been a target for those who wanted their own favourites picked for a major tournament. Forgive me, but don't you think a quality player who isn't knackered at the end of a long domestic season should be first on the team-sheet for such a tournament?
That Hodgson appears to be tinkering with his formation ten days ahead of the big kick-off is not necessarily an issue. He will now know what his team will look like should the key men stay fit, and those who do well in tournaments generally improve over the course of the tournament. Fifty years of hurt ensures that we are sceptical of our team's chances this summer, but are the usual big hitters in good shape?
We shall see.
We Have A Winner
Congratulations to Sid Sinclair from Winchmore Hill who correctly identified George Eastham as the World Cup-winning Gunner and has won the Art of Football 50 years of hurt teeshirt.
Thanks to all who entered.

Hey 'holic. I saw Jack Wilshere playing for England in the second half and thought he did well. No injuries either, so far as I know. (Knocks on wood.)

Evening H
Like most if not all in the bar,i will be keeping an eye on our players in the Euros.
Hoping they do well,and praying they don't get crocked.
At the same time i will be trying to ignore all the endless media speculation about who me may or may not be buying,until it is is announced by the Club itself.
With the Olympics to come,and England's trip down under for 3 Rugby tests this month,Pakistan visiting for a test series of Cricket,plus Wimbledon for the tennis fans,there is plenty for the sports addicts to get their teeth into this summer.
I even forgot the Tour de France for the cycling nuts.!!
Before we know it,Aug 13th will be upon us,as another season stretches out before us.
We will be very spoilt on the Sporting front this summer.

Nice one Guvna. It wouldn't surprise me if this unrated and slightly motley English squad went further than an English team has done in a while. Meanwhile no-one else apart from the Spanish is looking particularly good. It will be a relief when some decent football matches take place whatever the results.
on 02 Jun 2016 at 11:20 pm8TTG
I really think this England team will tank. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't win a game. I've mentioned before I don't embrace Spud players or Man Yoo or Liverpool players that I spend the year detesting. I become less interested in England in each passing tournament. I'd be astonished if we did well, there is very little world- class talent in the squad, possibly none. Delle Ali will get sent off after being wound up mercilessly and our defence will struggle to deal with the best players on the Continent. If we even get to meet them.
Bale in the mood will run us ragged.
Sorry to be a curmudgeon but I'm focusing on some of the goodies Clive mentioned and what some of the good teams serve up

The TV ads for the Centennial Copa America are featuring Alexis as one of the star draws, up there with Messi and Suarez. I hope he doesn't run himself into the ground before the next Premiership season even starts as he did in the Copa America last year.
England looked uninspired against a well organised Portugal. Unless Roy Hodgson either picks a system to fit the players he has got or picks the players that fit his system, I fear this England team will be picked apart as soon as it runs into one of the better teams at the Euros.
And there better be none of the shirt shenanigans with Hector that occurred with Fabregas at the World Cup in 2010.

Evening, Holic, and thanks for a new post.
I only saw the first half of England v Portugal tonight and it wasn't a very pretty sight. In fact, Kyle Walker and Harry Kane are a pretty ugly sight and they linked poorly considering they are club mates who play together every week.
I didn't see Jack Wilshere's introduction but he must have looked absolutely brilliant if he replaced the lumbering, tumbledown James Milner after his first half display.
Apart from that, I think North Bank Ned has summed it up well. I only realised a couple of days ago that there is another Copa America this summer. Hopefully we won't be watching an utterly knackered Alexis come August. When did he last get a summer off ?
He'd probably just throw a couple of jumpers down and play three-and-in with his mates all day anyway.
Well done, Hector. Just remember those DNA doctors are all very bad people. Don't listen to them – you are Spenglish now !

George was one of the best passers of a ball we have had, hence he got targeted by many opponents, particularly Leeds. Bremner, Charlton, Hunter, and Giles invented rotational fouling against him.
on 03 Jun 2016 at 12:37 am17Uplympian
Evening holic.
George Eastham one of my all time favourite players. His passing was in the Ozil class and normally 2 moves ahead of some of the lesser lights surrounding him. Leeds of those days were the most cynical I've encountered. They were a horrible team but considering the amount of talent they had, it was really shouldn't have been necessary. No doubt the manager and players were simply nasty bastards.
I shall watch the Euros with particular interest in how our players get on.
With no team looking on top form I guess it's possible England could have a good run this team but the defence looks ripe for picking by any team with attacking prowess.
Like Clive says, we have a sports fest to carry us through to the new season plus some golf majors not on his list. Last but not least there is also the Olympics to look forward to.
on 03 Jun 2016 at 12:38 am18Goonersince54
Sorry to be pedantic H
But i must point out that the Ramblers invented rotational fouling in the early 60's.
The London scout for Leeds used to attend Sunday morning games around the Suburbs in the hope of unearthing some unsung talent.
But having watched the Ramblers play, it was no surprise when Leeds began copying our playing/fouling style.
I might also add the Ramblers invented the front and back shin pads as well.
Big Raddy was the first professional player to use the pads, which again was no surprise, as a cousin of his used to play for us and obviously passed on the info to him.
We led,others followed.
on 03 Jun 2016 at 12:42 am19Goonersince54
Yes i forgot the Golf. !
But i did mention the Olympics.
Also apparently there is the World Tiddlywink Championships to look forward to as well this summer. !!
on 03 Jun 2016 at 1:19 am20Uplympian
Clive, I must also add one that's held down these parts – we have the World Nettle Eating championships which is held at the Bottle Inn, Marshwood.
There is also the Dorset Knob chucking contest ( for the un-initiated, it's a local "delicacy" ).
As for the Ramblers, a match v that Leeds team I would have paid good money to watch – no doubt would have been promoted by Jack Solomons & Mickey Duff 🙂

Evening all. Having enjoyed a wonderful weekend of Rugby I must say that I'm very much looking forward to the series down under. Funny enough, I'm also quite looking forward to the euros. Not quite sure why but I actually have quite high expectations.
Bring it on. And the cricket, cycling and everything else for that matter. Except for Wimbledon. Never really enjoyed Wimbledon. I always hated having to watch it when I was a kid as they interrupted a test match to show tennis coverage. I've been anti Wimbledon ever since.

One more event for your diaries: The 54th Memorial Booze-Up of Former Members of The 47th Yellow Cowards (Surrey regiment). Sat/Sun 3rd/4th September. At the Gordon Bennett Memorial Pergola, Chinese Cemetery, Christmas Island.
Stop laughing, this is serious. I may be the only former regiment member still alive but I'm sure others will be attending in spirit. Gordon was one the more infamous friends of my youth. We shared a flat in Leatherhead in the early 60s and The 47th Yellow Cowards were a band of dedicated drinkers prone to loudly recounting deeds of heroism and colonial derring-do to the irritation of other pub customers.
As for Christmas Island The Caine/Connery movie The Man Who Would Be King was highly influential in Gordon's later adventures there. He saw himself as a latter-day Pukka sahib and ruled the island for a while as his personal fiefdom.
Alway great company, almost always drunk, and died aged 47.

There's still room for Arsenal in the Euro buid-up!
In case you had any doubts Arsene is to stay according to Gazidis' latest interview. The most interesting titbits (most of it really):
" The reason we have Arsène as our manager is because our board believes he can deliver success. The reason that Arsène is here is because he believes that he can deliver success. If either of us didn't believe that we would not be constrained by nostalgia or longing, we would have to make a change"
"Obviously, he is going to be managing us next year and we are planning and making many decisions for the long term. The reality is we wouldn't leave things until the last minute. I'm comfortable both that if Arsène is going to extend we will know that and if, whenever that is, he is going to come to an end, that he will give us the time that we need to prepare for that transition."
""He has always put the long-term health of the club first. He wants to hand over a football club, whenever that it is, that is in great shape. He views that as a massively important part of his legacy"
""What is clear is that the big spending was not the solution to all problems," he says. "It was clever spending and a lot of 'difference makers' underneath the surface." Those 'difference makers' include fitness and medical departments, psychology, analytics and youth development."
Although injuries again weakened Arsenal at critical moments, Gazidis says that the soft tissue problems were actually at "historically low levels" and that more freakish impacts were the bigger issue. "But we still have to ask ourselves difficult questions: Did we have the right squad depth for certain difficult functions? We have a good idea of where we feel we fell short and where we feel we did well. Because we have a highly-visible manager who represents so much continuity, there is a misplaced belief that things don't change. There has been tremendous change within, fully embraced and led by Arsène
Squad investment, he says, has never been restricted and is strongly encouraged by the majority owner, Stan Kroenke. He points out the arrivals of Özil, Sánchez, Petr Cech and now Xhaka in successive summers. "We have very high aspirations and care deeply," he says. "But we don't have an owner who storms the corridors on a Monday, who calls the manager and says, 'Why aren't you starting this player?' and enjoys high-fiving 26-year-old athletes. To me, that's good."
"We are very driven to take a further step and deliver trophies domestically but, ultimately, in Europe."
"Our renewal rate on season tickets is higher historically this year than ever. I don't use that to say all fans are happy, but most people are not engaging daily on social media and their opinions are much more nuanced than it might seem."
"What's quite difficult is that once people have created a story in their own mind, their own confirmation biases will kick in. It's true of all of us. My confirmation bias is we are club making progress. Our ambition is to win the Premier League but we have had our best finish in years and two FA Cups in three seasons."

Oops, forgot the link:
Everyone's experience is different but mine aligns with Gazidis in the last paragraphs, yes the season could have been better but it's wasn't bad either and we're definitively on the up is the opinion among my Arsenal-supporting circle of friends and acquaintances.

Copa America begins in earnest tomorrow over here on the pond's left shore. Good opportunity to scout some possible recruits (Higuain?) and to see how Alexis, Joel and Ooooospina fare with their respective sides
I for one don't see Alexis coming out of this one anywhere near as knackered as he was after last season's tourney. First and most importantly, Chile hosted the competition, so there had to be huge pressure on them to do well and to win the whole thing, which they'd never done before. As captain, Alexis had to be on top of his game throughout before crazed home crowds, all the way to the final versus archrival Argentina. There has to be much less pressure on them to do well this time around. Besides, they're just not as good a side, so are likely to play fewer games.
on 03 Jun 2016 at 10:25 am30TTG
Just a note re George Eastham. The bloke was a star . Great dribbler and passer and he was much better than anyone England has in midfield now. Great idea of Billy Wright to sell him ( and Joe Baker). That still makes me sad.

Alexissssssssssssssssssssssss is the reason to watch copa america and i want him to come out in the group stages itself, he meaning chile and not him alone please.
Euros we have too many of our own playing so may the best team win. France, germany and Spain pre tournament favourites but perennial under achievers England and the so called golden era of Belgium group will be the dark horses. My issue with England teams over the years is they play not to lose than to win. Therein i feel they bottle .
As the writeup says i honestly dont care and i just want our players to come back safe and sound. Now is that left back Rodriguez done? can we move on to morata and manolas please.

So what do you guys think about Vardy?
on 03 Jun 2016 at 9:29 pm45bathgooner
Firstly, he scored 24 Premier League goals last season. Here's another… He scored in 11 consecutive scoring games last season. Want more? He was in the PFA Team of the Year, he was also named the FWA Footballer of the Year and he was the 2016 Barclays Premier League Player of the Season.
Best value goal scorer in the market this summer.
Better bet at £20m than Lukaku st £50m, Morata at £50m and Higuain at £60m+.
on 03 Jun 2016 at 9:43 pm46Fin
Bath – agreed about the value and personally wouldn't mind, but I just can't see it happening. Of the Leicester "three" who everyone seems to want (Vardy, Mahrez, Kante), I always thought he would be the least likely to move. But then again, what do I know?
on 03 Jun 2016 at 9:44 pm47Impec1
I'll take Vardy at 20 million pounds. Vardy does not fuck around; he simply fucks it into the back of the net when he gets sight of the goal.

on 03 Jun 2016 at 9:57 pm50TTG
Vardy is a little like Ian Wright in that he has not been a pro for the usual number of years you would expect from a player of his age and may last longer than a player with his basic speed would be expected to.
He is well worth a punt for £20 million as he will give us great pace and we could probably fund the transfer from the sale of Walcott . I think he's on a rapid upward spiral for wise but my one reservation is that he appears to be an unpleasant character judging from the incident in the casino. But all in all I'd like this to go ahead. Going to a club like ours might give him a sense of responsibility.
on 03 Jun 2016 at 9:59 pm51Countryman100
Vaedy. Better than Morata for next season. Not as good as Higuain or Benzema. Would not complain if it happened. However does he want to join us?

Clive@18: Rotational fouling? With the Ramblers, wasn't it perpetual?
Uply@17: You are so right about Revie's Leeds. So much talent. So unnecessary for them to have played as they did. One of the dirtiest teams, ever.
ibid@20: I see that apart from knob throwing, there will be "additional fun knob attractions including knob eating, knob painting, a knob and spoon race, guess the weight of the big knob, knob darts and a knob pyramid".
Trev@47: 🙂
George Eastham: All players today should revere him for the part he played in breaking the 'retain and transfer' system. Younger 'holics might not know that back in the late 1950s, clubs could deny a move to players who asked for a transfer and at the same time not pay their wages. Eastham fought back and took Newcastle United to court in 1963 arguing unfair restraint of trade, even though by then he had been sold to us. The court ruled retain and transfer was unreasonable though it sided with Newcastle on the point of not paying Eastham's wages as he had effectively gone on strike. However, the case played a pivotal role in changing the balance of power between clubs and players and can be considered an antecedent to the Bosman ruling.

on 03 Jun 2016 at 11:56 pm59SanAntonioGunner
If Wenger is going for Vardy. I say go ahead. We can't wait for the Euros to start and Giroud starts scoring goals that will be the end of any striker talk. If it's true why not. He is definitely better than Theo that's for sure.
on 04 Jun 2016 at 12:00 am60King GT
we've only triggered his release clause and are now in talks. We know what happened when we wanted toothy!
But you can't get anymore official than…
on 04 Jun 2016 at 12:02 am61TTG
Apparently Vardy's release clause runs out today and if not triggered would prevent a deal at the pre- arranged figure of £20 million. The BBC confirmation suggests a serious bid and given that it would seem unlikely , that if he wants to leave , Leicester could hold him. At his age this is probably his moment for a big move.
I suspect We get believes he offers exceptional value . He is markedly different from Giroud, apparently more durable than Welbeck and facilitates an approach, particularly away from home that would seem to suit the talents of Ozil very much. Wenger will always look for value and not just buy big stars. The United Ibrahimovic deal looks like a publicity stunt that will line the pockets of Mendes still further. I wonder what Rashford feels about it?

Hardy and Laurel?
on 04 Jun 2016 at 2:00 am66Chris
My only reservation with Vardy is his age. Almost invisible in the football world until he reached 28 years, and will be 30 during the next season. At £20m he's probably a snip, but I'd sooner have Mahrez for double that.
Would he play in place of OG? Or with him in a 4.4.2 formation? Some say that is outdated, although it served Leicester well enough. But it was never an option for AW when he might have tried it with OG/Theo.
on 04 Jun 2016 at 2:14 am67Cynic
Can you imagine Vardy in our team though? He's a direct striker, we're a tippy tap, "wait… wait…. wait…. wait…. he's fallen asleep, play it now!" sort of team much too often.
The much derided Theo could tell Vardy a thing or two about making runs and having to jam the anchors on after three strides, because Aaron Ramsey is standing on the ball, combing his hair instead of playing the pass.
I just don't see it.
And he's "a little bit the racist" as well, is he not?
on 04 Jun 2016 at 2:21 am68Chris
I have to say it surprised me too, Cynic. Quite unlike AW to buy a player of Vardy's age – as the answer to a major problem anyway. Did he learn nothing from Poldi?
on 04 Jun 2016 at 2:27 am69Chris
I'd forgotten about the racism, mainly because it appears so often about so many and is probably endemic in some society stratas. Vardy has kept his views to himself subsequently and perhaps that's as much as you can hope for sometimes.
on 04 Jun 2016 at 2:40 am70SanAntonioGunner
Cynic@ 65.. you got a point with him being a direct striker and us, well the opposite. So I have no idea how this will work. Also we usually don't play counter attack football. Oh well that's for Wenger to deal with.
on 04 Jun 2016 at 3:03 am71Homer
I know im in the minority here but i loved the poldi Purhase.
Best finisher AFC has had since RVP. Goal scorers instincts. And for the limited game time he got put in a fair few goals.
on 04 Jun 2016 at 5:13 am72BB
Do not think Vardy wants to join us…!
He doesn't have many years left and he's settled there.
Seems like a going for broke deal with Arsene.. I'll wager if he comes then it'll be Arsene's last season as he hopes to go out on a high (winning League?!).
Personally for me Vardy is good but i don't like his propensity to go down easily in the box..!
on 04 Jun 2016 at 7:43 am73Chris
I was a Poldi fan too, Homer, but he was past his best and not minded to work hard enough for AW's liking. Scoring goals isn't enough for AW if you can't help save them at the other end as well … ask Theo. Personally I have always seen defending as the prerogative of defenders, and scoring an art-form best lefr to specialists. The 'Jack of all trades' approach is a proven failure, imo.

Clive: There is an 18-years-old Ghanaian, Nana Hardy, playing in central midfield for Modena in Italian youth football who would seem a more probable AW purchase than a 29-years-old Brit striker.

Clarence Washburn made a great point on the arses. Arsene's best sides were incisive on the break and at their most dangerous when defending a corner. Several times he has tried to recapture that before reverting to HFB, first in trying to sign bitty, second with Feo who proved incapable and most recently with Danny before he got injured.
Now he has the quarterback in Granit and another runner in Vardy (if the bid succeeds) to keep up with Sanchez.

Another point I just read, RVP cost RedNose more than £20M got one good season out of him and won the league, is it possible that Arsene has the same thought about Vardy?

I'm sure you noticed but Vardy's red and white shirt in that photo has "Highbury Stadium" printed on it ?
There is another one …. ?
on 04 Jun 2016 at 12:03 pm80Trev
These are the details, if anyone cares –
"The Highbury Stadium is a football stadium in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England with Wyre Borough Council as the landlords. It is the home ground of Fleetwood Town and is also used for home matches by Blackpool F.C. reserves. As of the opening of the new Parkside Stand on 16 April 2011, the ground has a capacity of 5,327."

Homer, from a way back,
I liked Podolski too and even agreed with Öskar, as was at the time, that he was there to score goals, not defend.
He was our most effective finisher, a no-nonse bang'em in the back of the net striker.
Unfortunately, I had to admit that was not enough in the modern game, when comparing to someone who works as hard as a Sanchez or a Welbeck. That said, it might be considered enough if that striker scored 25 league goals a season.
I never quite understood the Podolski situation. Why buy a player, so established in his ways, if he doesn't suit your style of play ?
Podolski never got the playing time for whatever reason. Theo certainly did but couldn't show the consistency or application required.
If Vardy is to be bought as our long searched for fox-in-the-box, he should be allowed to do that job. Maybe our midfield recruiting is another indicator that things are about to change.
Could it be the end of the Barca 'light' midfield ? I hope so, although Cazorla is good enough for any team, imho.
On your other point, I couldn't say whether Vardy will last longer as he started playing at the highest level at a later age. That would depend entirely on how much he has played, how many injuries he has incurred and how well they've been looked after at a club with far fewer resources. All obvious but there it is.
I have no idea on any of it with regard to Vardy.

A brief note just to endorse 100% what Bath has said about Vardy @ 45 & 75. Stupendously good business for that money and a player who is made for counter attacking football. I've a feeling there's another Ace up Wengers sleeve yet and that we might yet see a wide player arrive too.
And if 2016 couldn't get worse, the very sad news of the passing of Muhammad Ali, possibly the greatest sporting talent the world has ever seen. I remember sometime ago Tabs saying that Thomas Hauser's biography of Ali was the one to read and how right he was should anyone want to learn more about this wonderful man. A great read.

You seem to have answered your own question, Trev. And if anyone cares, Fleetwood fans call themselves the Cod Army.
You can just hear that echoing round the other Highbury…
Fleetwood has just released 14 players including Shola Ameobi in case anyone wants to do some bargain shopping in the hope lightening will strike twice.
And that is probably all the Fleetwood news we need — even in the silly season.

One advantage of adding Vardy is the addition of an English player to the roster. Does that indicate that Theo and/or Ox are more expendable?
As for Vardy being a one hit wonder, let's hope not. The landscape is full of them. As for those hoping for at least a two hit wonder, don't hold your breath. Been wracking the brain to come up with examples, and have only come up with the Troggs ("Wild Thing"; "Love Is All Around").
Any other just two hit wonders?

I think Vardy would be an excellent signing. A proven, pacy PL striker to replace the injured Welbeck (who looks to be out until at least February), and at 20mil a good value as strikers go. I think Arsene is still looking for that world-class striker, but is also hedging his bets if the challenge of signing one is too great. My guess is also that we won't sign said world-class striker until after the Euros and Copa, with agents hoping their strikers have a good summer so they can jack up the transfer fee.
I'm also happy that Arsene is trying to get deals done early instead of waiting till the last few seconds of the transfer window.

Trev@79, Wenger has admitted in the past that he bought Poldi with the idea of converting him into a centre forward. But that experiment did not work out. The lone striker in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-4-1 system is the only one with a concession in defensive duties in the Wenger set up. The wide men aren't allowed that luxury and they have to defensively help the full back. That was the reason he didn't play Poldi a lot and shunned Theo from playing wide. Infact that was also the reason he wanted Theo to play as the striker(apart from the fact that Theo did have a neat finishing ability)so that he did not have a defensive job to do. I suspect Wenger really wanted Theo to succeed in that role after having invested so many years in him. But last season might just have been the breaking point of his faith in Theo.
As for Vardy – slightly left of field choice by Wenger but definitely makes sense financially and what we need in terms of pace and conversion of chances. It could also mean that there might be a big signing in the wide areas at the expense of Theo (or possibly Ox but I think Wenger will stick with the Ox for the next season atleast).
on 04 Jun 2016 at 7:11 pm95Cynic
So it's just me who thinks Theo would be ideal if we're going to play more of a direct game with Vardy in the side?
This is getting way ahead of things, but assuming we do adopt a much more direct style with pace, we'd be looking to keep players who actually make runs early and into space?
It would be the slow thinking tippy tappers who should be worrying about their role IF that style of play is on the cards.

Don't know how Vardy will fit in with our superb ball-playing possession footballers, who unfortunately have little idea where the goal is. We know Arsene was shocked by the Leicester stats, which were indeed strange for a title winning team, but is he now thinking of modifying our play to a sort of hybrid style.
Anyway, Ranieri is on record as admitting Vardy is on his way, with most reports saying a medical tomorrow.

Chris and Trev,
Thanks for the thoughts. It may just be that I had an unreasonable man crish on polsi. But on this point, perhaps its best I shut up.
Cynic – good question on theo + vardy. I dunno know the answer. Could be very intetesting tho.
on 04 Jun 2016 at 10:05 pm109Countryman100
Cynic@93 – Just you I think. I lost faith in Theo this year, after years of believing. Old Trafford was the last straw. He's had chance after chance after chance.
I welcome Vardy (if we get it over the line).
on 04 Jun 2016 at 10:25 pm110Biscuitbum
Does this now mean our pursuit of Morata is at an end, now we seem to have bagged someone cheaper? As for Theo, I too have lost faith in him, but, as he doesn't seem desperate to leave, I'm happy to see him back for next season.

Theo's runs are a waste of time 'cos he just falls over as soon as one of those nasty opposing defender chappies gets anywhere near him.
His team mates have stopped trying to get the ball to him because they know the inevitable outcome too. His only possible effective position is out wide, if he can knock the ball past someone and get a cross in.
Most times he can't, or falls over again, and then, as others have said, he has to help defend as a wide player – which he doesn't, aside from the odd half arsed jog back which stops before there is any danger of him getting involved.

"Triggered release clause"
Wasn't that the phrase they used when we didn't get Suarez?
on 05 Jun 2016 at 4:17 am116Chris
Looking forward to seeing a return (at last) to the electric counter-attack with Theo playing where he belongs on the RW, Alexis on the LW and Vardy through the middle with OG in 4.4.2 formation. And those who can't keep up can go call Pep, Poch or please themselves.
on 05 Jun 2016 at 10:01 am117Dapper DanC
Jamie Vardy! Good signing for the New Mobile Striker We Need to Compliment OG! A key and integral player within a team that just won the Premier League! A no-brainer for those that are questioning it!
He's Cheap @ 20 Million for an International European Striker and an Englishman! He's Hungry To Play & Win! Got Blistering Pace To Burn! Got Good Movement! He's Very Hard-working Off The Ball Just Like Alexis! He's A No Nonsense Player & Goalscorer! He Might also teach Theo a thing or two to do with his blistering pace!
Now also go for Kanté, Mikhatyrian, a new number 2 goalie if Ospina wants to leave, and Virgil Van Dijk as a ball-playing no-nonsense Central Defender. I'd be quite happy with that post-season's trade Arsene so get on with it!
Up The Arse!

Incidentally, if Vardy does sign and gets injured with the infamous perennial curse, I'm definitely going to fully blame the Manager, his Coaching Staff and his Medics for all of our injury problems in recent years since leaving Highbury. He and they will have been the one perennial constants! 😎

Byrne featured in 17 games for Tech in 2017 making 16 starts in midfield. She scored 16 points on the season through 11 goals and five assists. Byrne also led the conference in caused turnovers per game with 2.18. A redshirt-sophomore, the McLean, Virginia native studies public relations.
Loscalzo started every game for the Hokies and reached the century mark for points in her career on the final day of competition with a goal against Syracuse. The senior who majors in public relations, led Tech with 52 goals on the season including a career-high six against Campbell.
McGinley was Loscalzo's partner in the attack, amassing 50 goals of her own to go with seven assists on the season. In the circle, McGinley won 95 draw controls setting the single-season record for the program. McGinley, who is a junior studies human development was also a nominee for the Tewaaraton Award presented annually to the most outstanding American college lacrosse player.
Wollmuth started in all 19 games and was a part of the defense that helped goalie Meagh Graham set the school record for goals-against-average with a mark of 9.64. The Stony Brook, New York native majors in marketing.
Davey, a junior chemical engineering student started all 19 contests for the Hokies in 2017 after transferring from UMBC. She contributed 32 goals and also dished out 12 assists for a total of 44 points for the Hokies.
Glatthorn, a political science major started every contest in 2017 and split time between defense and the midfield positions. The Norristown, Pennsylvania native contributed five points to the attack but also was second on the squad with 45 draw controls. She led all outfield players with 35 ground balls.
The 2017 lacrosse team made great strides in John Sung's first season in Blacksburg, winning 11 games which tied the program record. In addition, the team set program records for most points in a season (326) and goals in a season (253).

This doesnt have to do the with the trial but I think I finally figured out how to get pictures of Miley at the river without over exposing her. Its difficult because, at least I think, of the dark rocks, sun reflecting off the water and Miley being so white. But if I turn down the exposure compensation 1.5, it seems to do the trick.
Sunday I went to the trial. It was in a lovely horse farm. Quite and lots of grass to walk your dogs. Love that. First up was snooker. Sorry I dont have any video, I really wasnt expecting to Q. Snooker has been difficult for us , so much so that we have no Q's in started snooker. LOL , sad but true.
Right after that was Master Gamblers. We havent run to many of these and the last one I ran was so difficult I didnt have high hopes. The last one , they came out of a tunnel and then had to push out to weaves and weave away from you. But this one, I thought I had a chance.

Furthermore, OIG legal authorities allow hospitals and others to offer bonafide reductions to uninsured sufferers and to Medicare or Medicaid beneficiaries who can not afford their well being care payments.\n\nThe Institute of Drugs recently recognized three areas through which the well being-care system, generally, and hospitals and their workers, in particular, typically fall short: using unnecessary or inappropriate care (too many antibiotics), underused of effective care (too few immunizations or Pap smears), and shortcomings in technical and interpersonal expertise The greatest single hazard that a hospital presents is an infection, which is largely preventable.\n\nHealthcare finance professionals need to make sure that all enterprise transactions adjust to the Anti-Kickback statute. Many occasions, one might want to investigate numerous establishments that present care to people. Regardless of how large or how small what you are promoting, before buying the protection perform detailed dialogue with each of your workers.\n\nYou can also contact your native well being division for information about healthy spring water standards. On the entire, this medical marijuana therapy Denver has change into an optimistic instruments for the medical professional for treating the patients throughout the town. In case you intend to arrange your merchandising cart business in a public place, you will need to obtain a permit to operate from your native police department.\n\nAs a substitute young adults face the same causes for not having well being advantages as their different uninsured counterparts: they do not make enough money to be able to afford insurance coverage or their employer would not subsidize or provide protection.\n\nIn case your landlord does not take action to remove mildew, and you become in poor health, you would presumably be capable to sue to pay for medical bills that were not conversed by your insurance coverage, or for the complete amount in the event you do not have health insurance.…Continue reading »

It feels like such a long time ago since reading a story at bedtime felt like a chore. I never used to see the importance of books despite my own love for reading and writing.

It's important to keep on top of the changes in the marketplace for employee benefits and administration. More than ever, we have spent a sizable amount of time researching, reviewing, and learning the available options to small and medium sized employer groups.
Florida Marketplace for Insurance
The term marketplace is intended to represent the availability of multiple health insurance plans. There are individual and group marketplaces. There are private marketplaces and there are public (some states or federally maintained) marketplaces. In our home state of Florida, the public marketplace is being facilitated via the website operated by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Plans can be purchased on the site or from an agent through a variety of carriers. Premium assistance may be available to some individuals.
On the group side, small businesses have been promised the development of a public Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) marketplace. Right now, the public SHOP marketplace does not facilitate enrollment. Rather, it functions as a self-service quote engine and refers the user to an agent or to the carrier directly. Clearly it is most logical to use an independent agent who can provide insight to the plans offered, carriers, network coverage, employer premium contribution strategy, communication compliance, and on going service as needed.
We believe there has been an increasing trend in the defined contribution style of plan. This is where the employer sets a specific dollar value to a host of employee benefit packages made available to eligible employees.
Do all employers have to offer benefits? The answer is NO employer HAS to offer benefits, although there are compelling reasons why many do. Healthcare reform, which we prefer to call it, requires employers with an average staff size of more than 50 full-time employees offer coverage OR they can be subject to a penalty. The U.S. Treasury Department, which includes the Internal Revenue Service, has provided updated guidance to the provisions impacting what has become known as "pay or play". Very simply stated, the employer responsibility provisions require employers offer coverage or pay an assessable payment, which we call a tax.
In very general terms, employers with 100 or more full-time employees will have to offer affordable coverage to 70% of their employees during 2015. In 2016, employers of more than 50 full-time employees, but less than 100 will have to offer employees affordable coverage. If they do not, they will be assessed the tax.
Private marketplace options for groups exist today, and can be customized to the employer's needs. A budget and blueprint can be established, with on-line enrollment, termination and reconciliation of payments made in one interface. Multiple plans, including optional coverage such as dental, vision, disability, life, and accident coverage can all be managed with minimal paper processing.

'This Morning, This Evening, So Soon' by James BaldwinPosted: October 24, 2014 Filed under: Short Story Magic Tricks | Tags: 1960s, American lit, American literature, Americans abroad, analysis, criticism, fiction, Harlem Renaissance, James Baldwin, Paris, short stories, This Morning This Evening So Soon Leave a comment
This Morning, This Evening, So Soon by James Baldwin, 1960
The magic trick:
Jumping between present, past, and future to reflect the story's ideas about time and identity
Time, place, and identity loom large over this story, so it makes sense that Baldwin jumbles up all three elements throughout the unfolding of the narration. Our narrator, a nightclub singer who is moving back to the United States after 12 years in Paris, discusses a morning and evening in the present tense. But he also bounces back and forth between different memories from his past in America and France, all the while anticipating his feelings about adapting to an uncertain future. Some of it has a tendency to ramble, and I'm not sure some of the racial comparisons and contrasts always add up, but the point is made clear: one's sense of identity is a complex thing, especially for an African-American expatriate in the 1950s. And that's quite a trick on Baldwin's part.
The selection:
Once I had been an expert at baffling these people, at setting their teeth on edge, and dancing just outside the trap laid for me. But I was not an expert now. These faces were no longer merely the faces of two white men, who were my enemies. They were the faces of two white men in accordance with what I knew of their cowardice and their needs and their strategy.

Like the Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance folks, the Tar Sands Blockade and others including Bold Nebraska who are on the ground resisting Big Oil stateside Canada's First Nations and environmental activists are on the front lines of a battle that attempts to force the world's largest corporations and the governments they control to put the environment of the many before the profits of the few.
A few days ago, for instance, Harpo's Conservative government along with the ass-kissing Liberals passed a motion to facilitate the adoption of the FIPA trade deal, a deal that if ratified would allow China's companies to sue Canada if any Canadian government, including the provinces, makes any decision that put our health, jobs and environment before their profits. Worse yet, these suits would be decided by unaccountable arbitrators in secret courts outside our legal system. Green Party leader Elizabeth May commented that now the only legal hope we have of stopping the 31-year corporate rights deal that contains massive environmental, human rights and sovereignty implications is the legal injunction filed by the Hupacasath First Nation in BC.
As the groups at Leadnow and Idle No More explain on their website: "From muzzling scientists and stripping environmental protections to negotiating secretive trade agreements and trampling Indigenous rights, this government is silencing watchdogs and opening the country to devastation for the benefit of a few. Indigenous-led movements have responded by standing up across Canada to defend democracy, Indigenous rights and the land, water and air."
That's why Leadnow and Idle No More are working together to launch Skills for Solidarity, a free online education program that will teach key lessons about our nations' histories and ways the rest of us can become a better allies. The 'Skills for Solidarity' program will offer lessons, articles and videos throughout the spring. Hope you'll join me and many others by signing up to learn more from the Skills for Solidarity Educational Program:

Biggest night ever:
I FINALLY made something the newly crowned Miss Picky Eater 2012 LOVED!
This is the biggest day ever.
Yes, my wedding day was nice. And the birth of my children. But this -- this day is one for the books.
I was so pleased, I threw my arms in the air and pumped my fists to the imaginary crowd.
This, of course, inspired Olivia to be really happy for both me and herself.
She joined in the festivities, and waved her arms right along with me.
And I paraphrase her speech: "Yes! My Mom has finally done it! After spurning her beautiful efforts for many, many moons, I have decided to adore dinner tonight -- and quiche, no less! Some think it strange that I would choose quiche (that my Mom thought I wouldn't even attempt to taste) to love, but not I. I am just so proud of my beleaguered Mother for finally, finally, finally getting it right!"
Even the Double B loved it:
|And all was right with the world.
The Double B said that sometimes quiche has too much egg and not enough cheese, but this one was JUST RIGHT. And I have to agree. Pintrest, I love you. I love you SO MUCH. Without you, I am just a hill of beans. Here is the recipe, if you want to try it. It was delicious. And easy. And I used a store bought crust, because I'm not an idiot. And I used four cheese italian instead of swiss. So go for it. Let it change your life, too.
Happy Friday.

In the wake of the Brown Revolution, The New Republic has an article by John Judis about whether President Obama can successfully pivot to the center. Judis compares Clinton post 1994 to Carter post 1978, both Democratic presidents who receiving stunning mid-term rebukes. In Carter's case, he failed and lost re-election in 1980; Clinton, of course, succeeded. Obama has not exactly had a mid-term "rebuke", but the Massachusetts message was a shot across his bow.
It's an excellent article and well worth reading. But Judis plays some games with graphs near the end, where he compares Obama's disapproval rating to the unemployment rate and finds them closely correlated. Freely throwing cautions about correlation and causation to the wind, he then concludes that the rising unemployment rate is one cause behind Obama's disapproval. To show the problems with this approach, I produced a similar graph:
Here the other series is listed as "Mystery" so that you won't immediately know what it represents. Other than a little break early on, this is just as good a correlate as Judis'. (In fact, the mathematical correlations are nearly identical.)
OK, enough foreplay. Here's the mystery series: it's the S&P 500. So following Judis' logic, the rising S&P 500 has caused rising disapproval with Obama. Anyone believe that? Yeah, me neither.

Sometimes, getting good customer service is just a tweet away.
After purchasing a rollout garage floor on SkyMall's Web site, Matt Kucharski immediately had second thoughts and called to cancel the shipment. The first representative was polite, but said she couldn't help since the order wasn't in the customer-service system yet.
Frustrated, Kucharski, a 41-year-old public relations counselor in Minneapolis, did what a lot of people would do. "I told my friends about it — 300 of them on Twitter." To his surprise, another SkyMall representative tweeted back that day and got him on the phone with someone new.
They concluded that the delivery couldn't be stopped, but that Kucharski could make a return at no cost. Happy to not feel at a dead-end again, he decided to keep the floor.
While it's grating to have to pay for shabby service or defective products when money is scarce, there are ways to get your complaints heard without getting upset or losing your cool.
Here are some strategies for getting results.
The odds of hearing back from a company by posting your complaint online get better each day.
Such posts could turn up in searches by potential customers, so more companies are going online to scrub the Web clean of any negative references.
The cable TV company Comcast Corp., for instance, uses a program to track mentions of itself on blogs. The company's "digital customer care" team sorts through an average of 10,000 mentions a day.
"A lot of it isn't about anger. It's people who need assistance," said Frank Eliason, who heads the unit.
Comcast also is one of a growing number of companies with a presence on social media sites.
Out of 100 major retailers, 59 had Facebook accounts in September 2008. That was almost double the number just four months earlier, according to Rosetta, a market-research firm based in Princeton, N.J.
It's not only large companies that monitor the Web, either. Many smaller businesses use social networking as a low-cost way to bring in business.
You also don't have to be a celebrity blogger or have hundreds of Twitter and Facebook friends to get attention. Consider posting on consumer sites or simply search for the company's name on Google. You might unearth an online community of disgruntled customers.
If twittering isn't part of your makeup, there's nothing wrong with picking up the phone.
Before you start dialing, jot down the timeline of events so you can articulate your experience and what exactly you want fixed.
Think of yourself as a lawyer arguing a case. Start by collecting any evidence you'll need such as bills, credit-card numbers and receipts. The exercise will help organize what you want to say.
Have a pen and paper ready to take notes when you're ready to call. When you get someone on the line, resist the temptation to speak condescendingly or rant. The goal is to get people on your side.
"Use progressive firmness. Nasty doesn't get you anywhere," said Steve Cohn, a consultant at Customer Focus, a customer-service-training company based in Alpharetta, Ga.
One reason customer-service calls can be so frustrating is that the person on the line isn't in a position to help you. This might lead to the perception that the representative is being willfully difficult.
To avoid getting worked up, begin the call by stating your situation and how exactly you want it fixed. Then ask if it's a matter they can remedy.
"If the call center person doesn't have power to fix it, all the yelling won't get you anywhere," Cohn said.
Trot out the magic phrase — "Can I talk to a supervisor?" — only once you determine the person can't help you.
If the representative claims there isn't a supervisor — or that you're speaking to her — ask politely for the name and contact information for someone who can help.
Don't despair if you're stonewalled.
Assuming the company is legitimate, there should be all sorts of information online. Go to the company's Web site and click on the "About" section. It shouldn't be hard to find the names of key executives.
Even if their contact information isn't listed, search the Web for their names and "e-mail." If you can find the e-mail address of one employee, you can probably use that formula to figure out the e-mail addresses of others.
When writing to customer service or company executives, don't ramble or use all caps to emphasize your rage.
Be concise about what happened and state what you're asking for up high. Ask for something equal to what the problem is. If you ask for outrageous compensation, you'll likely be ignored.
For the same reason, resist the urge to be nasty and sarcastic.
"Ask yourself if you were reading this letter, would you be offended?" said Cohn.
Letters and e-mails to companies' customer-service department usually get some type of response, Cohn said. Even if you only get a generic reply, use that contact name and e-mail address to keep the conversation going.
If you're not getting anywhere with the company and believe your treatment was unethical, bring in a third party.
One option is the Better Business Bureau, which lets consumers submit complaints on its Web site, bbb.org.
The agency gives companies time to resolve complaints before complaints are noted on their public files.
The BBB isn't a government or regulatory agency, and companies aren't required to resolve disputes. But the agency says about three-quarters of the 892,000 complaints filed last year in the U.S. and Canada were settled.
For situations where you think fraud is involved, consider lodging a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, or your state's attorney general or consumer-protection board.
Complaints filed with the FTC are entered into a national database and 3,000 law-enforcement agencies across the country have access to it. While the FTC doesn't mediate individual grievances, enough complaints about a particular business could trigger the agency to open an investigation.
Simply alerting a business that you plan to file a complaint also could bring about results.
"They might give you a refund because they don't want you to come to us," said Steve Baker, director of the FTC's midwest region.

This is some of the most significant teaching that Wayne does around the world to help people break free of the bondage of religion and embrace an affectionate and life-changing relationship with the Father, through the work of the Son and in the power of the Spirit.
There is an eight disk audio series that is really something I've never thought of. Listen to them for free here.
Wayne Jacobson also has a few books that were very valuable for me to remove some of the traditions that I have built up in my mind, that I just couldn't get around.

Enigmail OpenPGP Key Manager
The Enigmail OpenPGP Key Manager is designed to be simple to use with a clean, powerful interface.
You can access it from within Thunderbird/SeaMonkey via the OpenPGP menu: OpenPGP > Key Management.
You can also run it as a stand alone application by appending -pgpkeyman to the command that
runs Thunderbird/SeaMonkey, e.g. on Windows: "CProgram Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -pgpkeyman.

to start it via the terminal, open a terminal and run:
to fix it not launching from the start menu might be trickier. but start with this: is there an icon in the start menu that is not working, or is there no icon at all?
also, does this file exist?
also, what is your Desktop Manager (GNOME, KDE, etc.)?

Ramblings Post #181
In boxing, your average contender prepares by dueling in sparring sessions where they get in the ring with guys paid to mimic the style of their upcoming foes. It can be educational, insightful, occasionally painful when you find where your own weak spots are... and they charge tickets for you to see it. So you can pay to watch him spar, and then pay again to watch him box which is a hell of a racket. They ought to be 'shame of themselves. What does that have to do with this entry? This is legal sparring.
Our law school "Mock Trials" are almost upon us, and for the first time I'm feeling a little nervous about this particular legal sparring session.
You see, as part of my law school's program, all students have to put together one side of a trial, as either the attorney for the plaintiff/state or defendant. Opening statements, direct, cross, objections, closing all that, closer to real life than Matlock or Law and Order. During one of those frequent "why are we doing this" discussions the infest law school, I was informed by a classmate, most law schools don't require this, because the truth of the matter is most lawyers don't go to court. The best ones keep you out. Lawyers are by in large negotiators and counselors, so knowing how to effectively run a trial is one more specialized skill in the legal quiver. But then my school also starts you off in Property law, which a lot of schools also don't require, so I guess everyone's mix is a little different.
I work for a living, so I went over my pre-trial motions this weekend, sat down last night and put a few final hours into it and sent if off...incidentally fifteen minutes before the power went off at my house due to the storm that rolled through.
I was feeling good about the whole thing until I got the motions from our opposing counsel today around noon. I thought I had crafted a fairly good argument in mine. I had researched a mix of motion formats from a couple of sources since I figured mine was fairly cut and dried, basic rules of evidence stuff, and cobbled together what seemed like a comprehensive motion. What I got from opposing counsel used the single example the prof sent out as a blueprint, and included what I consider to be a lot more depth than mine. A lot more. I cited rules and made impassioned argument - they cited case law.
I only just got the lasagna right, as evidenced by my previous brief earning a few good comments for being logical and easy to follow. My prof had given indicated it seemed like I was getting it. Did I get smug while I wasn't looking? I'm hoping it's that I just misunderstood the assignment or using the model I constructed was an acceptable option. I was just getting into the swing of this, getting all hyped up to get my Johnnie Cochran on, but now I'm not so sure. Yes, I figured not only would I do all those things necessary to show I understood the procedure (the point of the class)...I would win the case too! But that's just confidence, not arrogance, right?
In any case, its done and gone, and oral arguments are upon me - again. I need to get with my trial partner to see which motion she wants to handle.
Barkeep - one them aperitifs. I don't know why.

Then and Now and Net
There is something wrong with Blogger again. I can't seem to insert links when I use "Compose" mode. Looks like I have to hard code this post with HTML.
I don't like code. I get confused by it.
I bought a feathered ball toy thing for The Cat today. She likes feathery things. She's been playing with it for a while now.
There are no new games out, at least none that I'm interested to play. There's no new thing to write about either.
I use this blog to complain. That's what it started out as. It's been quite effective in that it helped purge me of a lot of baggage. If only I started blogging back in secondary school. That would've probably turned me into a slightly better person. I should've.
Except that during the 1986-1991 period, the Internet didn't exist yet, as least not widely anyway. Kids these days, so damn lucky with their mobile phones and the broadband and all this new fangled telecommunications stuff.
Back in those days, we had to plan appointments well in advance including things like place and time to meet. One tiny misunderstanding and the whole thing would have to be called off.
No such thing as split second calls or smses on a cell phone, no sirree.
I remember how useful public phones were.
When someone liked someone else, the only low risk way to tell that someone was to write a letter. Yes, a letter as in paper and ink with handwriting. Or typewriter. Or one of those corny notes you pass through a middleman.
I used to play middleman in class. That was funny.
Nowadays, all you need is email.
I can only imagine how much money my current contacts would cost me in stamps. Thank goodness for email.
The world seems so much smaller and much less difficult to comprehend nowadays. Technology is cool like that. Or in this case, the Net.
Without the net, I wouldn't have met and gotten to know half the people I know now.
It's funny when I remember back in the early nineties when some people insisted that Internet use would be bad for social skills.
As usual with naysayers, that was wrong. I suppose it would be true if by using the Net someone cuts themself off from other people.
Technology is not the bad here. Antisocial people are antisocial, whether or not they are online.
Excuse me, I will go play with The Cat now and download more music.

SheWolf got in at near 11:30 noon yesterday, she had said noon, and as the Ward was getting into Testimony meeting, came the call. So up to the Taco Time Bus depot I went. Loaded her gear and back to church. After sorting through three bags to find something suitable in we went. As I came into services with her in tow the entire congregation attention went from whoever was speaking , to her. Everyone there was interested in just who snared the Wolf. So after got Dave's wife to watch over SheWolf, and off to manly discussions with Dave/Vern on radio matters. You could have heard a pin drop in there. Everyone was interested in SheWolf. One could not have been more of a spotlighted deer if they tried. After we both went and took inventory of the two shops we came home, turned on Airwolf for her, but her attention was on that texting dang phone. I stretched out on the mini couch for a short, couldn't get comfortable, but I thought a quick nap and we could go fetch grub at Jody's. Nope I went out and did not feel the aspirations of being awake until 23;45 hours, so grabbed a donut and am now contemplating heading back to bed until early 07:00.
The next chapter of the HazzardAyre saga is now ready to be written , stay tuned.

I would like to share with you a tool to help with the grief process of losing someone who has died.
I have used this tool over the years quite a few times with people who are going through that awful process of learning to live in this life without the person that they love.
So first of all find a picture of this wonderful soul. Put it in a place where you have to turn to it.
And then talk to the picture. Share all that you would have shared with them if they had been there in the physical world. Share the fun of the day, share the worries of the day and share the pain and the anger. It is perfectly ok to shout at the person and ask them, 'Why did they leave you?' They left you because they had to. But that doesn't help with the letting go. So they quite understand that you have to be angry. And when you are doing this in the privacy of your own room and your own time, it is just a form of letting go. And then share all the joys all your hopes and ask them to help you in some way shape or form. It is not always your spirit people who are there sending you the help. They send their requests to the angels and the angels are the ones who actually make things happen and that actually help you. So don't feel worried that you are holding your spirit friend back from developing because they actually want to help you to move forward as well because as you move forward so they move forward.
Ok once again get a picture of this wonderful person that you feel you have lost. Put it in a place where you actually have to physically go and sit down and look at it. And then share your day with that person share your life as you would have done here. And over time with this tool things will improve. I wish you joy I wish you happiness and until such time as you can let go I offer you my hand in friendship so that you may do this thing. Love and light Demici

If ever you dust off this coverlet that you have in storage, and create an American textile exhibit..... we would be happy to loan our coverlets for a show. "
