Reviews for this album
I bought this record in 2002 in Cagliari, my home town, in my favorite record store.
Giacomo, one of my friends of the store, told me something like "I think you'll like it, just listen!".
I got back home, I listened to it, but just one song brought me into itself, 'The ascent of Stan', all the other ones had no effect...
Nine years later, one day I go to my old house, the one where I was living when I bought the CD, with so many things to do very quickly, because now I have a wife and two children and we all live in a small town far from Cagliari and a father must be back home as soon as possible and all those things I'm sure you understand, and I see this CD, many years standing on a shelf, and I suddenly have an idea "How about listening to it in the car going back home?''...
The CD has been playing since november in my ca, my children (7 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old) can sing many of the songs, although they can't get a word (they don't speak english at all) and I don't think I'll change the record before a month or two!
Maybe because my lovely wife makes me feel "The luckiest"...
or maybe I'm ten years older, and the love affairs of young boys and girls now make me remind of what I was many years ago...
Mmm, those ones can be good reasons for me to appreciate this CD, but I think that I like it because it's simply a wonderful box where I found every time beautiful music filled into beautiful songs... and with my beloved guitar in just two songs!!!
Thank you Ben, I have just discoverd that we are both born in 1966, and now I'm really proud of it!!!

Manza, a chance to perform on the main state at this season's Film on the Rocks and a regional endorsement from Sabian Cymbals. Full lineup after the jump.

Junior Member
I've actually started maxing Sadism last. The main reason I use it is for the heal and that doesn't increase with extra levels. Anyone else tried this?
Senior Member
It has so many other uses for which the move speed boost really helps. The cooldown is low enough that you can even use it to run back to the front lines.
I dont get it, why doesnt anyone suggest maxing out Burning Agony first??? Its dps does not scale with your level and thus is most effective early game. Its just extremely high dps when ur chasing with your ally early game. My build would be: 1. Agony 2. Cleaver 3. Agony 4. Cleaver 5. Agony 6. Sadism 7. Agony 8. Cleaver 9. Agony 10.Cleaver 11. Sadism 12. Cleaver 13. Maso 14. Maso 15. Maso 16. Sadism 17. Maso 18. Maso As you wont be using your melee attacks often early game i just dont need to use masochism so i skip it. Instead spam cleaver constantly in lane, farm creeps with agony as soon as u get some good regen (i.e. lvl6). And ofc when u go gank turn on agony and burn that mofo...
Okay, some may regard backdooring as "cheap" (or in any other equally derogatory light) but I've found Mundo to be very good at this thanks to Masochism. Perhaps you could mention this (I can understand the omission though).
Why dont you use melee attacks? Watch Dan Dihns video and youll know how to play Mundo. Cleaver + 1-2 hits from Masochism in the beginning really hurts. And taking BA at lvl4 give alot more DPS then a second Masochism = early kills.
"Regrowth pendent isn't a good first item" I'd like an explanation for this if you plz. I always go regrowth first and have been pretty happy with the results. Regrowth allows you to throw cleavers pretty much non-stop, and will be used later for warmogs. Here's what I usually do: -Regrowth -Phage -Mercury Treads -Frozen Mallet -then depending on whether we need tanks or dps, Warmogs or Phantom Dancer
Yeah, I've never felt a need to worry about money with Mundo thanks to his superior farming abilities, and I usually want Warmogs as fast as possible so that I can sustain Burning Agony. Warmogs can pay for itself as well as +gold items do.
Alrighty. Your argument seems reasonable. I'll go give it a try.
K just tried it and I'm convinced Doran's is better. Combined with my runes, Doran's got me up to 875 starting hp, which was nice. Also, the difference between 14hp/sec and a combined 10hp/sec is not that noticeable. And the health pot is nice if your health drops unusually low.

Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, WOWO is an independent news/talk radio station transmitting on 1190 kHz at 50,000 watts during the daylight hours and 9,800 watts during the nighttime hours; it uses a non-directional antenna daytime, and a three-tower directional antenna at night. WOWO, whose call letters are pronounced as a two-syllable word rhyming with go-go, has been broadcasting on various AM frequencies since March 31, 1925 and on 1190 kHz since March 29, 1941. WOWO was one of the first radio stations to broadcast in the Fort Wayne area. In 1930, WOWO was the first radio station in the world to broadcast a live basketball game. It is also considered to be the first station to broadcast live Indiana high school sports events and the first station to be wholly owned by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. WOWO was owned by Westinghouse Broadcasting from 1936 to 1982. The WOWO transmitter and its three towers are located along U.S. Highway 24 in Roanoke, midway between Fort Wayne and Huntington.
WOWO broadcasts a hybrid (analog plus digital) signal on 1190 AM.[1]
Despite its sale by Westinghouse in 1982, WOWO still uses the distinctive Group W typeface for the call letters in its white on PF-152 red logo.
Established in 1925, WOWO began broadcasting with 500 watts of power on 1320 kHz on March 31, 1925 and was owned by Chester Keen of Main Auto Supply Company; the station was originally located upstairs of the Main Auto. The station's callsign was chosen to start with the letter "W" as required by the FCC for all stations in the United States at the time. During the 1920s, the FCC permitted either three- or four-letter callsigns, with three-letter call signs being preferred for brevity. By choosing WOWO for easy pronunciation as a two-syllable word, in some measure WOWO had a callsign that exhibited even more brevity than even the three-letter callsigns. Despite this, disk jockeys on WOWO were prohibited from calling the station "woe-woe" on the air until the late 1960s, when a contest was introduced to identify songs in which the "woe" sound appeared. The WOWO callsign was later backfilled as a tongue-in-cheek acronym: "Wayne Offers Wonderful Opportunities". In 1927, WOWO was made a pioneer station of CBS radio network and remained a CBS affiliate until 1956.
In 1928, Keen sold WOWO to Fred Zieg. In 1929, Zieg received FCC approval to move WOWO to 1190 kHz with a power of 10,000 watts and establish WGL on WOWO's former 1320 kHz. Until WOWO's purchase by Westinghouse Broadcasting in 1936, Zieg managed the advertising sales of both WOWO and WGL through WOWO-WGL Sales Service, Inc.
On July 4, 1929, the station's studio building caught fire. No casualties were reported, and operations were moved to a nearby location. Amazingly enough, the station's large pipe organ—a familiar sound on the station—was not damaged in the blaze. The WOWO pipe organ was later relocated to Gospel Temple in Fort Wayne.
During August 1936, WOWO was acquired by Westinghouse Broadcasting as its first owned and operated radio station. Westinghouse built new studios for WOWO at 925 South Harrison Street in Fort Wayne, which were completed on May 1, 1937. On that same date WOWO joined the NBC Blue radio network, while maintaining its CBS network affiliation, as multiple network affiliations were common for NBC-Blue affiliates. On March 29, 1941 Westinghouse completed the FCC licensing of WOWO's famous clear-channel broadcasting on 1190 kHz. During and after World War II, these clear-channel broadcasts made WOWO a popular radio super-station of sorts throughout the eastern United States. Although there were other radio stations in the eastern United States broadcasting on 1190 kHz during daylight hours, they were required by the FCC either to cease broadcasting at sunset or to reduce their transmitted power at sunset to make way for WOWO's clear-channel signal. WOWO's clear-channel license and resulting large audience permitted various owners over the years to consider WOWO their flagship station.
On April 30, 1952, WOWO's studio and offices were relocated to the upper floors of 128 West Washington Blvd. It was here that the station began its famous "fire-escape" weather forecasts, involving obtaining weather conditions from the fire escape ledge. In 1977, WOWO's studios moved to the fourth floor of the Central Building at 203 West Wayne Street in Fort Wayne, where it would remain for the next fifteen years. When the station relocated to the Central Building, the old fire escape was cut into small pieces, encapsulated in lucite and distributed as a promotional paper weight.
Programming for the station changed several times. After dropping its network affiliations in 1956, the station played modern (for the time) music. During its heyday, WOWO was one of North America's most listened-to Top 40 music stations. WOWO continued playing the hits until 1988, when the station resumed playing oldies. In 1992 the format changed to adult contemporary, and then in 1996, the station switched to a news-talk format which remains to this day.
Fort Wayne being equidistant from Chicago, Detroit and Cincinnati, clear-channel WOWO competed with WLS, WJR, and WLW for the agricultural market. Farmers would have the radio turned on in the milking parlor; research seemed to indicated that it relaxed the cows and produced more milk. In an era when live music was the rule, rather than the exception on the radio, WOWO's Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers proved popular with rural audiences, and eventually WLS, WJR and WLW surrendered the rural audience to concentrate on their urban audiences, leaving WOWO unchallenged for the hinterlands, and giving them the largest audience of any Fort Wayne area station for decades, until FM stations largely displaced AM stations. WOWO could be heard as far away as Florida, especially early in the morning and late at night and many snowbirds listened to WOWO year-around. They shut down the transmitter on Sunday nights, giving Philadelphia station WCAU at 1210 AM a slight ratings boost as sleepless WOWO listeners sought something to listen to.
Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers' "Little Red Barn" was used as a theme song for Bob Sievers' daily show, and when recorded music became the norm for the station, they continued to have a live show called "Little Red Barn" on Saturdays featuring Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers. Nancy Lee was the wife of Sam DeVincent, music librarian for the station.
In September, 2014, WOWO was won a Marconi as the Medium Market Station of the Year by the National Association of Broadcasters. [2]
From 1941 to 1995 WOWO was well-known, in both Indiana and areas to the east, as one of the clear-channel AM stations. This was due to the station broadcasting continuously with 50,000 watts of power both during daylight and nighttime hours. From sunset to sunrise, WOWO's directional antenna was configured to protect only KEX, Portland, Oregon. The nighttime broadcasts were branded as WOWO's Nighttime Skywave Service, the "voice of a thousand Main Streets". During the 1970s, the station's hourly ID (required by the FCC) stated: "50,000 watts on 1190, WOWO, Fort Wayne, Group W, Westinghouse Broadcasting."
Jay Gould spoke to many community organizations, relating the history of WOWO. Initially, the leading station in Detroit (WJR), Chicago (WLS), and Cincinnati (WLW) all competed for farmer listeners with agricultural reports. WOWO, almost equidistant between those three stations eventually captured that demographic, with the other three stations focusing on their urban and suburban areas. This benefitted WOWO as national advertisers saw WOWO as a regional station that would reach well into the backyards of those larger metropolises.
WOWO's clear-channel license permitted WOWO's radio personalities to gain some degree of fame throughout the eastern United States. Announcer Bob Sievers, Farm Director, commentator and folk-philosopher Jay Gould, News Director Dugan Fry, meteorologist Earl Finckle, the "In a Little Red Barn (on a farm down in Indiana)" de facto theme song of WOWO, the Penny Pitch charity fund raisers, sports director Bob Chase's Komet Hockey broadcasts, the weather reports from WOWO's personnel taking a smoking break out on its studio's "world-famous fire escape", and husband-wife hosts of The Little Red Barn Show, music director Sam DeVincent and wife Nancy of "Nancy Lee and the Hilltoppers", all were listened to by a total of millions of people from the Great Lakes to the United States' East Coast over the years from the 1940s to the 1990s. Other memorable on-air personalities include Ron Gregory, Chris Roberts, Jack Underwood and Carol Ford.
WOWO broadcast 24 hours daily except for Sunday nights, when they nominally shut down for maintenance between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. At that time, there were few other clear signals with music available in the Fort Wayne local area. Philadelphia's WCAU, at 1210 AM, was nominally a clear-channel station, but its signal, weak and static-laden as it was, seemed to be the best option.
Because WOWO's Nighttime Skywave Service caused WLIB, also 1190 kHz, in New York City to cease broadcasting at sunset each day and resume broadcasting at sunrise, Inner City Broadcasting bought WOWO in 1994 so that the Class A clear-channel license of WOWO could be changed (reduced) to a Class B, and WLIB, owned by Inner City Broadcasting could thereby increase its class from Class D to Class B. This reduced WOWO's potential audience—referred to as WOWOland—from much of the eastern United States to a much smaller local region in northern Indiana, northwestern Ohio, and south-central Michigan. Before the power reduction, when WLIB signed off at night, WOWO's air signal came booming through the speakers into the WLIB air studio.
On February 20, 1971, NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado was ready to broadcast a normal required weekly test of the Emergency Broadcast System. However, AT&T reported that the United States Air Force used the wrong tape for the test by accident, and initiated an Emergency Action Notification, normally issued by the Office of Civil Defense or the President. This prompted all stations in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, area by order of the FCC to operate under emergency procedures and feed the broadcast from WOWO through their radios. Bob Sievers was at the microphone at WOWO at the time, and he, along with everyone at the studio, had no idea what was going on. When he heard the message from the Air Force, you could hear in his voice that he was very relieved that it was only a mistake.[3]
The WOWO recording is used in the song "Cold Call" by American progressive rock band OSI on their release Fire Make Thunder. The song that played before the EBS was "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted" by The Partridge Family.
WOWO currently has studios in a broadcast complex on Maples Road, on the south side of Fort Wayne. It has a three tower directional antenna on U.S. Highway 24, just northeast of Roanoke, Indiana. WOWO was the first Fort Wayne station to transmit in AM stereo; it later became the first Fort Wayne AM station to transmit with HD Radio technology. The station streams its programs over the Internet. Local newscasts are written and anchored by Kayla Blakeslee, April O'Neil, Ryan Wrecker, and Dean Jackson. Morning traffic reports are anchored by Kylie Havens. The WOWO news staff also provides morning news updates for sister stations WMEE-FM and WQHK-FM (K-105). Casey Hendrickson broadcast from the Mishawaka studio of sister station WTRC, where he also hosts a morning program. Hendrickson was brought on following the controversial May 2012 firing of afternoon host Pat Miller; as a result of new management, Miller resumed the afternoon drive slot on January 2, 2013.[4]
Weekend programming includes The Mutual Fund Show with Adam Bold, encore programs from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, "The Kim Kommando Show" and locally produced programs.There are newscasts every 30 minutes, at the top and bottom of the hour, featuring local, national and international reports. Mitch Craig does station imaging. WOWO utilizes ABC and FOX news services, as well as the Associated Press. In 2006, WOWO became a partner with Indiana's NewsCenter, which produces newscasts for two Fort Wayne television stations, WPTA-TV (Channel 21) and WISE-TV (Channel 33). There are regular weather reports from WPTA-TV, as well as weather bulletins from the National Weather Service.
WOWO also broadcasts the Fort Wayne Komets hockey games and the Indianapolis Colts football games.

The men's track and field team fell to the Oregon Ducks in dual meet action on Saturday in Eugene. Despite the loss, the Bruins swept three events and posted seven event wins. It was the third year the Bruins had traveled to Oregon to compete head-to-head against the Ducks. This year, Oregon won by a score of 92-71 in front of the largest crowd in the last three years of the meet (5209 in attendance).
Dylan Knight had the most impressive performance of the meet as he led a Bruin sweep in the steeplechase with a lifetime-best run. Knight ran the No. 3 time in the NCAA (8th all-time in UCLA school history) with his winning time of 8:48.84. Knight's twin brother Spencer was second running 9:08.89. David McDonald was third as he also ran a lifetime-best (9:12.44).
The Bruins also swept the shot put and discus. Bo Taylor led the way in the discus with a mark of 173-4, followed by Thomas Nagengast (163-5) and Mark Weber (163-2, season-best). Nigel Davies won the shot put with a throw of 55-2.25, followed by Taylor (54-9.50) and Weber (54-8.25, season-best).
The 4x100m relay team of Jamal Alston, Maxwell Dyce, Stan Griffin and Brandon Smith won with a season-best time of 40.02.
UCLA took victories in three of the four distance races contested - 800m, Steeple and 5000m. Cory Primm won the 800m with a solid time of 1:49.09. Alex Crabill won the 5000m with a new lifetime-best mark of 14:11.57. Kent Morikawa was third in the 5000m, running a season-best 14:17.83. Marlon Patterson was third in the 1500m with a time of 3:47.83.
One surprise win for the Bruins came in the 400m hurdles as David Klarer won with a season-best time of 53.15. Oregon's Justin Cross tripped over the final hurdle and Klarer seized the opportunity to win.
In the high jump, Nelson Rosario, who had flown in late Friday evening after football practice, cleared a lifetime-best 6-10.25 to finish third overall. He also finished second in the long with a mark of 23-8.25. Jonathan Clark finished second in the triple jump (47-1.50) and third in the long (22-10). Johnny Quinn finished second in the vault with a mark of 16-7.50. Casey DiCesare, also with a clearance of 16-7.50 finished third.
While the majority of the men's team was in Eugene, a few athletes competed at the Mt. SAC Relays. Alec Govi ran a lifetime-best of 14:44.35 in Section C of the open 5000m to finish 12th overall (old best, 15:00.78). Bisrat Zerehaimanot was 16th, also in Section C, with a lifetime-best of 14:53.13 (old best, 15:32.39)
The Bruins will send a small contingent to San Diego for the UCSD Triton Classic next weekend, while the majority of the team will rest up for the final home meet of the season, the annual dual meet battle with USC (May 1st).

Tchite Speculation Resurfaces
Standard Liege striker Mohammed Tchite has once again been linked with a move to Ewood Park once the January transfer window opens. The 26 year old was first linked with Rovers when he was a Santander player in 2009, since then he has moved on to be one of the top players in the Belgian top flight. Reports say that Big Sam has had his spies out to watch the player, but Standard Liege do not want to let their prized-asset leave, but an offer of around £3m should twist their arms.

continued WJ: The concern was more about the process, and the issue was the last-minute modification of the permit. Everyone had come together, and we thought there was a deal. What happened then undermines the ability of everyone to come together.
EB: What are ways to secure infrastructure within the Park without tampering with the natural habitat?
WJ: We have gone into Jay and looked at the buyouts and talked about specific things that we as a Council will say, these are things that you will not have to worry about us commenting on. When community groups and environmentalists go to Albany and they go together, it turns heads.
EB: You give a "thumbs up" to a merger between two school districts. Is that something you support throughout the park?
WJ: We believe communities should talk with each other and look for opportunities to share services. We also realize there is a narrow set of communities, and the distances are long in the park and the schools are a focal part of the communities. We want to facilitate and offer support for these kinds of conversations.
EB: Is there a responsible way to create a series of connected snowmobile trails to maintain and promote the industries' importance to the economy?
WJ: I hope so. I can stay optimistic about this. We have been very public that even though we sued the state over the Unit Management Plan, we do support the idea of connected trails. You manage wilderness, but you do not just lock it up and set it aside. I think that we can find places for communities where we can connect.
EB: The whole locals versus downstate thing, what do you tell local residents when they ask, "Whose park is this, anyway?"
WJ: It's everybody's. It belongs to all of the people of the state, and the residents of the park have a special position. As residents, they get the benefits of living in a place with clean water and clean air, but there are responsibilities and obligations that come with that as well.
