I'm so sick
of people telling those
of us who are disgruntled fans to relax and give this club
time to correct itself... for anyone who believes that taking a wait - and - see approach is appropriate at this juncture they should take a good long look at themselves in the mirror because they are a big part
of the problem... no
other «big» club's fans would stand for this shit for nearly as long as we have... think about it, we've witnessed a changing
of the guard at every major club in England, Spain, France and Germany in the last several
years because those «big» clubs failed to live up to expectations (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern, PSG, Chelsea, ManU, ManCity etc...)... for some reason, many fans have become as fragile as our current manager, believing that there couldn't possibly be a suitable replacement, even though everyone
of these clubs have
found multiple replacements and still achieved far more
than our club... this mindset has been created by an organization that has been milking it's fans, telling countless lies (no world class players available) and lowering expectations every since they rolled out the biggest lie
of all: that we couldn't spend because
of the new stadium but once it was paid off we could compete with any team in the world... this organization is rotting from the inside out and if we don't demand that those in charge put soccer first this despicable behaviour won't end with Wenger's ridiculous 2
year contract... I think the real fear isn't that a suitable replacement doesn't exist, but that this organization is so money hungry and poorly mismanaged that we will sink even lower by choosing our next coach the same way they choose our players, on the cheap... even so, we need to see what mustache will do if left to his own devices so he will have to show his true colours... only then can we purge this club and start anew
This is an incredibly difficult question to answer for a variety
of reasons, most importantly because over the
years our once vaunted «beautiful» style
of play has become a shadow
of it's former self, only to be replaced by a less
than stellar «plug and play» mentality where players play out
of position and adjustments / substitutions are rarely forthcoming before the 75th minute... if you look at our current players, very few would make sense in the traditional Wengerian system... at present, we don't have the personnel to move the ball quickly from deep - lying position, efficient one touch midfielders that can make the necessary through balls or the disciplined and pacey forwards to stretch defences into wide positions, without the aid
of the backs coming up into the final 3rd, so that we can attack the defensive lanes in the same clinical fashion we did
years ago... on this current squad, we have only 1 central defender on staf, Mustafi, who seems to have any prowess in the offensive zone or who can even pass two zones through so that we can advance play quickly out
of our own end (I have seen some inklings that suggest Holding might have some offensive qualities but too early to tell)... unfortunately Mustafi has a tendency to get himself in trouble when he gets overly aggressive on the ball... from our backs out wide, we've seen pace from the likes
of Bellerin and Gibbs and the spirited albeit offensively stunted play
of Monreal, but none
of these players possess the skill - set required in the offensive zone for the new Wenger scheme which requires deft touches, timely runs to the baseline and consistent crossing, especially when Giroud was playing and his ratio
of scored goals per clear chances was relatively low (better last
year though)... obviously I like Bellerin's future prospects, as you can't teach pace, but I do worry that he regressed last season, which was obvious to Wenger because there was no way he would have used Ox as the right side wing - back so often knowing that Barcelona could come calling in the off - season, if he thought otherwise... as for our midfielders, not a single one, minus the more confident Xhaka I watched played for the Swiss national team a couple
years ago, who truly makes sense under the traditional Wenger model... Ramsey holds onto the ball too long, gives the ball away cheaply far too often and abandons his defensive responsibilities on a regular basis (doesn't score enough recently to justify): that being said, I've always thought he does possess a little something special, unfortunately he thinks so too... Xhaka is a little too slow to ever boss the midfield and he tends to telegraph his one true strength, his long ball play: although I must admit he did get a bit better during some points in the latter part
of last season... it always made me wonder why whenever he played with Coq Wenger always seemed to play Francis in a more advanced role on the pitch... as for Coq, he is way too reckless at the wrong
times and has exhibited little offensive prowess yet
finds himself in and around the box far too often... let's face it Wenger was ready to throw him in the trash heap when injuries forced him to use Francis and then he had the nerve to act like this was all part
of a bigger Wenger constructed plan... he like Ramsey, Xhaka and Elneny don't offer the skills necessary to satisfy the quick transitory nature
of our old offensive scheme or the stout defensive mindset needed to protect the defensive zone so that our offensive players can remain aggressive in the final third... on the front end, we have Ozil, a player
of immense skill but stunted by his physical demeanor that tends to offend, the fact that he's been played out
of position far too many
times since arriving and that the players in front
of him, minus Sanchez, make little to no sense considering what he has to offer (especially Giroud); just think about the quick counter-attack offence in Real or the space and protection he receives in the German National team's midfield, where teams couldn't afford to focus too heavily on one individual... this player was a passing «specialist» long before he arrived in North London, so only an arrogant or ignorant individual would try to reinvent the wheel and / or not surround such a talent with the necessary components... in regards to Ox, Walcott and Welbeck, although they all possess serious talents I see them in large part as headless chickens who are on the injury table too much, lack the necessary first - touch and / or lack the finishing flair to warrant their inclusion in a regular starting eleven; I would say that,
of the 3, Ox showed the most upside once we went to a back 3, but even he became a bit too consumed by his pending contract talks before the season ended and that concerned me a bit... if I had to choose one
of those 3 players to stay on it would be Ox due to his potential as a plausible alternative to Bellerin in that wing - back position should we continue to use that formation... in Sanchez, we get one
of the most committed skill players we've seen on this squad for some
years but that could all change soon, if it hasn't already
of course... strangely enough, even he doesn't make sense given the constructs
of the original Wenger offensive model because he holds onto the ball too long and he will give the ball up a little too often in the offensive zone... a fact that is largely forgotten due to his infectious energy and the fact that the numbers he has achieved seem to justify the means... finally, and in many ways most crucially, Giroud, there is nothing about this team or the offensive system that Wenger has traditionally employed that would even suggest such a player would make sense as a starter... too slow, too inefficient and way too easily dispossessed... once again, I think he has some special skills and, at
times, has showed some world - class qualities but he's lack
of mobility is an albatross around the necks
of our offence... so when you ask who would be our best starting 11, I don't have a clue because
of the 5 or 6 players that truly deserve a place in this side, 1 just arrived, 3 aren't under contract beyond 2018 and the
other was just sold to Juve... man, this is theraputic because following this team is like an addiction to heroin without the benefits
Joining a club
of arsenal s stature has its ups and downs.There is a requirement
of how our players should perform when on the pitch.The following is a list
of players who were wrong to choose arsenal.Aaron ramsey - Even though he is the most favoured
of all players at the club now.I cant help but think how it would have gone for Him if he decided to search for
other greener pastures.He was a clear talented footballer during his
time at cardiff but he hasnt been raised with the discipline at arsenal.You can always see ramseys all round strengths but sadly Its not helping him or the club with his foward moving pleasurr.He is so Over used and its sometimes difficult for him to get used to the rythm
of the game.With
time you realise he gets low ib confidence and his engine gets wasted.He needed somebody who would have managed him properly and with care and that person is certainpy not wenger.You would have been better off at Manu mate.Calum chambers - Came us a very talented player from southampton with raw talent.He was very good at first but wenger
found a way to reduce his level
of confidence.His inexperience was left exposed and wenger did nt do anything to resolve that problem and instead He looked for
other talented players.Alex oxlade chamberlain - Another very talented player who needed only his skilled sharpened and his character modelled.That and he was ready to become a world beater.But wenger decided to let him run and run like a headless chicken causing him to be often injured and damaging his confidence.Who knows what would have happened to him gad he decided to look for more greener pasture.He is surely a much better player
than this.Theo walcott - Another player who was tipped to have a very bright future.He had it in him.But all he needed was an appropriate manager who would nurture him with discipline and help him with his talent.But on Coming to arsenal he was given Much more responsiblities putting more weight on his shoulders on top
of that another player who was recklessly managed with his talent and never coming off age because his character wasnt properly shaped.Mesut ozil - Al right i agree he perfoms well just recently.But imagine all the legendary players he was often compared to during his
time at real madrid.On coming to arsenal he
found no rotation often overused, suffered many injuries and his confidence dwindled.It is pretty clear arsene does not take any responsibility for players.And when at arsenal you have to be your own manager.You need not rely on your manager otherwise you might continue being the same player for the next many
years.That is why each and every player are what they are because
of their own efforts and wenger had nothing to do with it.Van persie was the same player for over 7
years untill he himself decided to change.Wenger only organises and prepares tge team while the rest is in your court.It is not what so many people make it out to be.Thats why we need to pressure wenger more
than our own players.They are their own self managers and wenger needs to take that responsibility
Of course there are several
other common concerns, like Monreal playing against any top competition, since he proved last
year, especially against Bayern, that he will give any class player his dominant foot in and around the box
time and
time again, or that we still haven't
found anyone,
other than the mopey Ozil, that can distribute the ball from deeper lying positions, minus the occasional gem from Xhaka, which means that we still spend way too much
time trying to pass the ball into the net, but I'll save that for another
time
In a
time when Manchester United have their weakest team for a decade, Chelsea are «in transition», Citeh are still restricted by the inabilities
of Mancini / Platt / Kidd, Liverpool flatter to deceiver - this Arsenal team are incapable
of winning any trophy whatsoever.The squad is paper thin as far as real talent is concerned.There are far too many passengers and «dead wood» abounds.Who on earth could do a better job as a manager
of a team who are outclassed by Swansea and outplayed by Fulham, cant beat Wolves when almost every
other team can!I don't know but sooner rather
than later i believe we will
find out!But one thing is certain he won't get 7
years of excuses before receiving his marching orders.

The levels were as interesting as any
other Halo campaign but due to the better graphics and the ability to climb up a ledge rather
than having to jump above it's height it made it great to explore for skulls and collectables, within the 9 hour co-op game both myself and Russ
found ourselves venturing off and climbing up different parts
of the maps to see how high we could get or what was hidden away, we came across a few Easter eggs on the way and
found some rare or «special» weapons, Halo has always been a FPS which you have to explore to
find Easter eggs etc. but Halo 5 just seemed better
than the rest for this, the game flowed well between each level bouncing from blue team and team Osiris following the story to show where paths cross and what each team is doing in between, I feel like all
of the trailers kind
of pointed the story into a different direction to the way the campaign developed which was surprising and confusing at the same
time but none the less it was a great campaign and one
of the best Halo games I have played in many
years, I was never a fan
of Halo 4 I thought it lacked everything a Halo game should be but Halo 5 has surprised me and was well worth the wait.
- the game's shading mechanism has changed, which allows for increased gear texture quality - all graphical aspects and programming mechanisms have been built up from scratch for this sequel - maximum resolution is 1080p in TV mode - a bigger focus for Nintendo was the 60 frames per second - occasionally the resolution will be scaled down when there is too much ink displaying on the screen - Nintendo reduced the CPU load and refined the way to use CPU power effectively to maintain 60 fps in all matches - weapons were tweaked to let players be more creative by thinking about unique weapon characteristics and their best uses - weapons are designed to be effective when they are used during the right occasion - Special weapons are stronger
than the original ones when used in the right situation, but weaker otherwise - the damage and effect
of slowing down your movement when you step in the opponent's ink are reduced from original - you can jump up in rank if you're good enough, but only up until S - you can't jump up from C, B or A to S + - when you win battles in Ranked mode, the Ranked meter fills and your rank goes up when its fully filled - when you lose a battle, the gauge does not decrease, but the meter starts to crack - once the meter reaches its limit, it breaks - when the meter breaks, you have to start over again from the beginning or from a lower rank - highest rank is still S +, but if you fill up the Ranked meter, you get numbers after the alphabet such as «S +1», «S +2» and so on - maximum number is «S +50», but this number will not be displayed to your opponent - you are the only one to see it, and you can check it on your own status screen - Ranked Power is calculated by an algorithm to measure how strong each player is with minuteness - this will determine if a player's rank is worthy
of receiving a big jump (like from «C» to «A»)- Ranked Power has no relation to your splat rate, and is more tied into to how well you lead your team to victory - you won't drop off more
than one rank even if you play poorly - stage rotation
time was changed to two hours - this was done because the devs expected people to play for an hour or so, but they
found people play much longer - with Salmon Run, Nintendo considered how to implement a co-op oriented mode in a player - versus - player type
of game - the devs will monitor how users are playing this mode to see if there's some tweaks they can throw in - more Salmon Run maps will be added in the future, but Nintendo wouldn't comment on adding more enemy types to the mode - rewards are changed each
time Salmon Run is played - you can obtain rewards when playing locally, but not gear - originally Nintendo had an idea for this mode, but had no background setting, enemy designs, etc. - Inoue suggested that it should be salmon - themed - when Nintendo hosted the Splatfest that pit Callie against Marie, the development
of Splatoon 2 had started - the devs had already decided to have the result reflected in the sequel - they even had an idea to announce the Splatfest with a phrase «Your choice will change the next Splatoon» - the
timing to announce a sequel wasn't right, so they decided against this - they eventually released a series
of short stories about the Squid Sisters to show how the Splatfest affected the sequel's story - Nintendo wouldn't say if Marina is an Octoling, and noted that Inklings are not paying attention to this too much - Inklings don't care about appearances, as long as everyone is doing something fresh - the Squid Sisters had composers who produced their songs, but Off the Hook are composing their music by themselves - Pearl is genius artist, but she couldn't
find a right partner because she's a bit too edgy - she eventually
found Marina as a partner though, and their chemistry is sparkling right now - Nintendo is planning a
year of content updates for Splatoon 2 - when finished, the quantity
of stages will be more
than the original - some
of the additional stages are totally new and some will be arranged stages from the first game - not all original stages will return and they are choosing stages based on the potential for them to be improved - Brella is shotgun-esque weapon, so the ink hits your opponent more if you are closer - it can shield damage when you open it, but the amount
of damage has a limit and once it reaches it, it breaks - you can shoot ink, but you can't use the shield feature when it breaks - the shield won't prevent your allies ink - there are more new weapon categories which haven't been revealed yet - there are no
other ranked modes outside
of the three current options - the future holds any sort
of possibility, but the devs didn't get specific about adding more content like that - for the modes, they adjusted the rule designs so that players will experience the more interesting aspects

Although the calculations
of 18 -
year rates
of GMSL rise based on the different reconstruction methods disagree by as much as 2 mm mm yr - 1 before 1950 and on details
of the variability (Figure 3.14), all do indicate 18 -
year trends that were significantly higher
than the 20th century average at certain
times (1920 — 1950, 1990 — present) and lower at
other periods (1910 — 1920, 1955 — 1980), likely related to multidecadal variability.The IPCC AR5
found that it is likely that a sea level rise rate comparable to that since 1993 occurred between 1920 and 1950.
Bromine, the ozone - depleting element
found in methyl bromide, is nearly 60
times more effective at destroying ozone

of changes in methyl bromide emissions on the ozone layer is very high compared to
other chemicals.
In 2007, Professor Curcio gave her first -
year Civil Procedure class five single - issue essay questions over the course
of the semester.134 After students turned each assignment in, the professor provided an annotated model answer.135 In addition, the professor spent some class
time discussing the models and providing
time for self - and peer - edits.136 The students in Professor Curcio's class and in another Civil Procedure class then took the same final exam.137 Professor Curcio and the
other professor graded all the exams from both classes.138 The results showed that students who practiced and received feedback performed better
than those students who had not had the opportunity to practice and receive feedback.139 Most
of the benefit, however, accrued to students who had above - the - median LSAT scores.140 For those students with below - the - median LSAT scores, the study
found no statistically significant difference between scores
of those who had received the feedback and those who had not.141 In 2010, the school's median LSAT was 161.142

I can top all
of you being in a wait and see relationship for 24
years, good
times, great sex but no respect; it has taken me this long to realize that love doesn't hurt; love cares what the
other person's needs are and tries to fulfill them; the plain truth is that this guy is a user out
of our good nature; the worse
of the worse because they know the feelings and hurt in someone and they continue to take, string along to fulfill their own needs; it isn't about how much we love them; it is about how little that they love us; no one lets a person that they truly love be in pain,
year after
year; it is a defect in their make up and a defect in ours to stay and settle for less
than we deserve; there is love after this and we have to learn to love ourself enough to stop this pain on our own behalf; mine has thrown me out like an old shoe over and over and I forgive him, not now; I forgive myself for wasting
time and need to move on to
find someone who isn't selfish and using; I can't change him, I can only change me and that I am going to do; there is a saying that if you aren't over him you are under him, exactly l see you and best
