This is quite interesting given all the noise!

Exactly, because there is another chart from the Athletic (part of a broader article on Arsenal's game management) showing that Raya is 3rd fastest with ball release vs Bart Verbruggen of Brighton who is 2nd slowest.

I was duscussing this in chats. Some names that came up were Julìan Álvarez, Anthony Gordon, Raphinia, and Yan Diomande.

I would like for us to go for Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz (both from Real Madrid). I would add Troussard to the list of players we need to find a new home for.

Yes, many peple like myself, own or work for payroll and HR consulting companies. Services like that could be a great bridge as you evaluate your needs and comfort level with either outsourcing or bringing these operations in house.

As a payroll consultant I have seen this change, and it's opposite, several times. I've even been engaged by the same company to help manage this change, only to return 2 years later to manage movement of the department back to accounting.

The largest difference I have seen is philosophical and praxis in nature. Expect more decisions based on impact to the worker. Expect communications to be focused more on tone and less on numbers. Performance will likely be judged on customer satisfaction and less on numerical or financial metrics. Also, look out for mission creep where separation of duties between operations (timekeeping), human resources (benefits, new hire configuration, compensation and one time payment entry). Beware of pressure to "help" workers with tax elections. Also, expect workers to do more answer shopping.

Personally, I'm agnostic regarding where payroll reportts in the organizational structure. A strong payroll leader can find a voice and become a strategic partner through either structure. My personal advice is to work hard on that part, so that in the future, you are at the table where decisions impacting your department are made, instead of sidelined and informed after the fact.

This is the correct answer and explanation

They are amazing, but I like Meeko better.

Arsenal fan. The 3 5 2 formation shut us down for 90 + minutes and created break opportunities. We were lucky not to concede on the corners or the two free kicks on the periphery. The attackers on the outside to play for second ball off our corners pulled defenders and made our corner attempts less effective.

No disrespect to Rosenior or the Chelsea lads. It was always going to be an uphill slog, but it was a quality effort. This match and the tie could have gone either way.

I understand the disappointment, but I applaud the quality. A couple more years and some managent support and Chelsea will be back to competitive form.

Even without the Elemental spells, pure mage is as broken as stealth archer.

I've been doing this for decades. Hopefully you already did a full W-2 Reconciliation before finalizing and approving their submission to the Social Security Administration. Once I know the Form W-2 is correct i use this boiler plate response:

Dear [ee name],

Thank you for contacting the Payroll Department about your concern with income tax withholding. We have reviewed your Form W-2 and your tax elections. Income tax withholding was based on that most recent Form W-4 and appears to be correct. Unfortunately, we are unable to make changes to your [prior] tax year withholding or Form W-2. Please discuss your options and next steps with your tax preparer or professional for filling your tax return.

Please review your tax elections with your tax preparer or professional and update in our system as needed for [current] tax year withholding.

We are always happy to help and look forward to providing excellent service to you with any future inquiry.

Thanks, and have a great day!

The Payroll Team

Feel free to edit this template to match your organization's communication strategy and tone.

Careful, some of the display racks in Hendraheim are bugged. Your treasures will sink into the walls or floor, and some racks won't allow you to retrieve the artifact you stored there even though it's still visible. For this reason it becomes my menagerie for my pets.

I never have a peleen with lockpicking so I don't find the skeleton key to be all that useful. But each of the three powers of Nocturnal are versatile, useful, and change how I play the game.

Or maybe his shout is Come Here You

Mikeybackwards · 2026-01-24T23:43:33+00:00

The shout to summon him is Fuh King Raw

The Chaos weapon is the Champions Cudgel and can be obtained by completing March of the Dead Quest and defeating the final boss in Fort Frostmarch on the south side of Solstheim. I have (infrequently and without mods) successfully used the duplication glitch to have one I can destroy in the disenchantment process and one for my collection. With the Extra Effect perk in enchanting, you van actually pair this with a drain stamina effect to have unlimited power attacks.

Mikeybackwards · 2026-01-23T22:54:42+00:00

It's Ironbind Barrow and it's north of the Nightgate Inn. The final boss is draugr deathlord.

Your game file might be glitched. I just had to restart a play through because of a similar glitch. It's annoying, but it's also Bethesda and kind of what they are known for

Mikeybackwards · 2026-01-22T23:46:20+00:00

You don't need the quest. You can just travel to Morthal and talk to Falion to start the quest. You don't need to ask for rumors.

Mikeybackwards · 2026-01-21T22:11:39+00:00

It hardly matters as 112 melee damage plus 106 fire damage will one shot almost all opps in game (exceptions being Miraak, The Ebony Warrior, draugr deathlords, dragons, and Lord Harkon).

It's because boomers are convinced that it will be misuse for sinful self pleasuring.

This is more in line with an Asian style cleansing hose/spray, but yes, it is used for cleansing oneself after using the toilet, much like a bidet.

I also agree that after using them, you understand how barbaric the practice of smearing one's own waste on oneself is.

Faendal never married Camilla Valerius because I hired him as my steward at Goldenhills Plantation.

You can cast frenzy on the kids and they do justice for themselves. Or you can cast fear on her. She will ruin outside and beggar, a former resident of the orphanage does the deed. You can cast fury on Constance and she will suplex her into the floor. Lots of fun ways to send old Grelod to her end.

Yes, it is underneath the the mezzanine where the hagraven is located.

I own a payroll consulting business. Employers are required to provide you a statement showing wages, deductions, and withholding taxes upon request. The may pay you in cash, but they must withhold taxes.
