Triage Records Inc. TOCP-65353
Produced by: Bob Kulick
Released: OUT NOW
Closest Relative: Van Halen
GENRE: Hard Rock
Out of the plethora of Tribute albums that have flooded the market and seem to be showing no signs of slowing down comes the latest and maybe greatest tribute project yet. Van Halen.
Produced by Bob Kulick and recorded in LA, with primarily the cream of LA's hard rock community, this tribute album has possibly the best sound of any of the ones before it and definitely the best production quality.
Bob Kulick was also behind the recently released Aerosmith project.
Once again the organizers of this album have decided to forget half the band's history (as also unfortunately done on the Queen, Aerosmith, Kiss and Rush tributes) and have concentrated on the David Lee Roth era tracks. Van Halen are however one of the few bands one can cut in half their career and get away with it, given that the Sammy Hagar era did have a new sound to it.
Maybe there could be a Van Halen Tribute Volume 2 covering that era? Please?
On to the tracks! And finally a tribute that sticks to most of the better known tracks instead of trying to be arty and find the most obscure ass tracks a band has ever recorded (some of the tracks on the Rush & Queen tributes).
Unchained opens the album in fine style. Dweezil Zappa does a fine Eddie Van Halen, a nice big thick guitar sound. Marco Mendoza and Eric Singer provide the rhythm section. On lead vocals and somewhat disguised is Jack Russell of Great White. He does a killer vocal and reminded me that he really can sing hard rock when he wants to. Lets have some more of this Jack!
I'm The One features Doug Aldrich as EVH with Tim Bogert and Frankie Banali as the rhythm. The track is somewhat looser and in the good fun vibe of the original. Mark Slaughter also does a good vocal, which coming from me is a good compliment as I have never been overly convinced of his vocal ability. Some good screams in there.
Dance The Night Away sticks very close to the original and Joe Lynn Turner turns in his best Dave impersonation. Solid backing vocals and more great guitar from the very cool Reb Beach (Winger, Dokken). Mendoza and Gregg Bissonette round out the track.
Light Up The Sky is one of the lesser known tracks and is sung by Kings X vocalist Doug Pinnick. Probably the least convincing vocal on the album. Yngwie Malmsteen handles guitar duties - again not bad, a great solo mid song, but that's it. Billy Sheen handles bass (yes, you can tell!) and Vinnie Colaiuta is drumming.
Panama is much more like it! Smoking lead guitar from George Lynch - nice to see he can still rock, not rap - and vocals from Jani Lane. Rhythm from Tony Franklin (Blue Murder) and Gregg Bissonette. Lane's vocals surprised me, as I have also never been a huge Warrant fan. A solid vocal and fantastic heavy rhythm section.
Hot For Teacher sees Franklin and Bissonette playing off each other again with the Union duo of John Corabi and Bruce Kulick featured. Continuing the great sound of the Union album, these two do a stellar job and keep it close to the original.
Runnin' With The Devil features Stephen Pearcy, Jake E Lee, Tim Bogert and Frankie Banali. Not a bad version, but lacking a little spark.
(Oh) Pretty Woman is perfect. Brothers Matt & Gunnar Nelson bring their duel harmony vocals to this great cover, with blues guitar from Albert Lee and rhythm from the great Tony Levin & Ansley Dunbar. Always a pop number, this track is done perfectly by Nelson. Killer harmonies.
Atomic Punk is one of Van Halen's early classics. Guitars here from Night Ranger's Brad Gillis, who doesn't miss a beat. Vocals from the Tubes' Fee Waybill and backing from Bogert and Banali. Not bad, the vocals let me down a little, but the rest is great.
So This Is Love sees Jeff Scott Soto take lead vocal. As one would expect, it's a flawless performance in his best DLR voice. Blues Saraceno adds a little blues rock guitar to the song, with Tony Franklin & Eric Singer providing solid rhythm.
Little Guitars finishes of the album. Another early classic. David Glenn Eisley (Stream, Giuffria, Dirty White Boy, War Dogs) sings a great track, a mix of his own style with the original. Mitch Perry provides some great acoustic and electric work in fine EVH style and Marco Mendoza and Eric Singer round out the track.
|ESSENTIAL FOR: All fans of Van Halen and fans of the usual suspects all involved in this tribute.

I think the best song in this album is Hot For Teacher. In my opinion, this has been an inspiring song for Colorado Bulldog which is performed by MR. BIG and The Audience are listening by Steve Vai. I think both songs share the same groove and feel. This record is a real deal.
Rating: 95
This is an amendment to my earlier review. I forgot to mention that Nelson's version of Woman is the worst song on the album. Why did they do a cover? Yeah, VH did it, but it's not one of theirs. I was getting Dance and Woman mixed up. While Dance isn't that great, it's far superior to Woman.
Rating: 95
We don't have to worry about the song writing because these are already killer classics (except for Dance). The performances are what matters. Bad performances: vocals on Sky suck; Lynch's solo on Panama is crap, doesn't fit the song at all, and is no the slightest bit melodic; the wussy Dance fails to do anything for me. Good performances: Everything, but especially Malmsteen's solo on Sky, totally killer, and I don't even like most of his work; the added soloing at the end of Punk is cool. Overall, a great album, that dissapoints in only a few spots.
Rating: 70
Light up the sky takes the cake here. followed by dance the night away, unchained and so this is love. George lynch and his mindless noodling (have you heard the scorpions tribute he ruins)
makes me wonder if the guy was ever really any good at all...he sucks! this record is worth the 15 bucks, at least half the tunes are worth a shit!
Rating: 93
This is a really fun album, especially given the over-saturation of the market with these "tribute" (more like "tribute to
someone else's bank account"). One other thing that I think adds to the good overall vibe is that so many different
performers (especially the vocalists and guitarists) tend to only appear on one track here. I like the wide variety of approaches
that this brings to the music. Musically, the artists tend to keep the fire and fun of the original DLR-era VH, with the one
exception possibly being Doug Pinnick's take on "Light Up The Sky" which has a darker, more somber edge to it. A lot of
reviews don't seem to care for the Nelson/Albert Lee contribution of "Pretty Woman". True, this track was a VH cover tune,
but artistically, I think the Nelsons do a very good job on the harmonies (and I was never a Nelson fan). Also, Albert Lee's
more lyrical, country-style playing makes for a nice contrast to the more distorted, hard-rock guitar playing on the rest of
the disc (and let's not forget that Eddie dabbles in approaches other than "Marshall-on-10"). I would probably give the "best
Eddie impression" to Dweezil Zappa for a very close approximation of the tone and lines he uses on "Unchained". Jack
Russell also suprised me very much on that track with his vocal approach. Lastly, the production is very good on this disc -
it sounds like time and effort (and money) was spent to get a great-sounding CD for us, the listening and buying public.
Rating: 78
Good...Almost impossible to listen to van halen songs without Eddie playing the parts.
Best songs: Im the one, Dance the night away, Unchained, Light Up the sky and Atomic Punk.
Worst songs: Oh Pretty Woman, Running with the devil and Panama. Im so sick of George Lynch murdering songs on tribute albums. The guy can't solo to save his life. Doesn't he realize that there was more to eddie van halen than playing as much notes as he can in the solo segment!?? Don't let this guy ruin another tribute album -- between this one and the rush tribute, I wanna murder Lynch!!!
Rating: 9
best songs :dance the night away(joe lynn turner),unchained(jack russell).
just like the other Bob kulick tributes this one holds a very high standard on both production and the muscians and singers are amazing.i hope there will be more tributes to come soon maybe bands like :journey,thin lizzy,bad company,sweet and the rolling stones .that would be very cool.
Rating: 85
Overall a good CD. But like Andrew said PANAMA was the highlight!
Makes me almost wish that Jani Lane would leave Warrant and join Van Halen instead of Dave.. He does an amazing job! I was VERY VERY surprised to hear him THIS good.

THE FLIPSIDE OF LOSING MY KEYS part 1
I left Genevieve's on Sunday at 9 PM, backpack in one hand, bag with empty Pyrex dish in other, swore at Shorewood's sparse yellow streetlights as I walked to my bike, plunked plastic bag with Pyrex into bike basket, hefted backpack onto back, turned on blinking head and tail lights, dug into upper left-hand pants pocket for my key chain, it wasn't there. Dug into all six pockets. Not there. Felt from the outside, dug into the insides, still no keys. Looked on ground. Couldn't really see. Must have fallen out of pocket somewhere. Returned to house, feeling foolish.
Genevieve and I went on a key search. Checked everywhere I'd sat or walked the past five hours, dining room, living room, bathroom, no keys. Outside with flashlight, peered into plastic bag with Pyrex, searched on ground. In the dim light every dead leaf resembled the Pick 'n Save card on my key chain.

Question by txrandom 936 · Jan 11 '12 at 02:08 AM · demographics race religion age gender
I'm curious about the demographics of the paleo community. Is this information available? I'm interested in these types of demographics:
Edit, I forgot to add my own details.
Another edit, Caveman Bob posted this link http://www.tfaforms.com/228736 if you are interested in taking a paleoish survey on government involvement in food.
I haven't seen any such stats. I also haven't been asked to respond to any surveys, etc.I'm not aware of planned or ongoing research but this site has 3800 members so maybe someone else has heard something.
Socialism! ooogity boogity!
Seriously?Posts like this are just asking for it. We're all here for one reason; politics and religion are irrelevant.

Lehigh County's court system has had its share of entertaining moments.
One judge had a reputation for repeatedly going to sleep during court, another unabashedly abrogated the Bill of Rights, and a third, a district judge, was found in a survey to be the worst judge in America.
Recently, however, nothing could top the judicial soap opera going on in Lehigh County's neighbor to the east.
Northampton County Judge Michael Koury got the ball rolling in February when he decided to revive Gilda Radner's Roseanne Roseannadanna and Emily Litella routines by overturning the silly old notion that juries should have the final say.
After a jury found that a woman accused of drunken driving didn't do it, as far as legal proof was concerned, Koury said oh yes she did, and proclaimed her guilty of a related charge.
When somebody criticized him online for his cockamamie ruling, he incorrectly assumed it was a defense attorney and assailed him in public.
"Never mind," you could almost hear Koury saying at the woman's sentencing (up to six months in jail but released pending appeal) this week. "It just goes to show you, Jane, it's always something."
Soon, I'm pretty sure Koury will have something to say about the reports of violins on the streets of Easton, similar to Litella's diatribe about "violins on television."
In the meantime, news accounts said Koury joined all eight of that county's other judges in signing an order banning one particular deputy sheriff, Tom Bachik, from their courtrooms after finding he engaged in what, I gather, was a conspiracy to commit free speech.
A story in The Morning Call on Friday said Bachik, treasurer of the deputies' union, sent a Feb. 29 letter to County Executive John Stoffa complaining that some judges hurt courtroom security by playing favorites and by asking that certain deputies be assigned to their courtrooms.
Another letter, according to the Easton Express-Times, was from Deputy Brian Budraitis to Sheriff Randy Miller, saying security was compromised by President Judge Kimberly McFadden, accusing her of asking that a convicted killer be transferred to state prison as soon as possible.
I am not exactly sure why a judge should not say something like that, but the letter expressed fears that if bad guys knew there was going to be a transfer coming soon, they could set up an ambush in which deputies could be harmed. There must be an epidemic of such ambushes. But why shouldn't a judge pick which deputy is assigned to her courtroom? (Maybe she prefers one who stays awake.)
I'm also not sure why all nine judges would get their shorts in a bunch over deputies writing letters. And why did they pick only on Bachik and not on other deputies who exercised free speech to whine to other officials about the judges?
Anyway, the story also said Walt Felton, head of the union, was miffed over not knowing about the Budraitis letter until he and Sheriff Miller were rebuked by McFadden. (I get a feeling nobody in that courthouse likes anybody else there, and they get riled up over issues that would not upset a bunch of pro hockey goons.)
Just when I felt courthouse drama could not get any more intense, The Morning Call had a story on Good Friday about a Ten Commandments plaque vanishing from the Northampton County Council's chambers. It had been there since Councilman Ron Angle, thrown out of office by voters last November, hung it up to declare that, contrary to the First Amendment, America does have an established religion.
The plaque mystery has preoccupied the courthouse since it was discovered during Wednesday's council meeting that some satanic fiend had swiped it. Angle, the story said, offered a $500 reward for its recovery. (I'm not confirming or denying anything, mind you, but I'd like to invite my friends over on this fine Easter morning to see the nice plaque I just put up in my house.)
There is another Ten Commandments plaque at that courthouse. McFadden has the Ten Commandments on the main courtroom wall, to the exclusion of any and all other beliefs, and I've had a lot to say about that over the years. It proclaims that only the established Judeo-Christian religions are tolerated in Northampton County.
My other comments about McFadden have been similarly unkind. I bashed her in 2004, for example, when she refused to put her hand over her heart during the playing of the national anthem at a ceremony.
The latest exciting episodes of the Northampton County Courthouse soap opera, however, are even more enthralling.

What is the Open Government Licence?
The Open Government Licence (OGL) is an open licensing model and tool for public sector bodies to license the re-use of their information and data easily. It consists of a simple set of terms and conditions to which public sector bodies simply point as the relevant licence. Use of information under the OGL is free and allows information to be used and re-used for commercial and/or non-commercial purposes.
Any public sector body can make their information available for use and re-use under the OGL.
The National Archives has developed the OGL to enable the use and re-use of public sector information without charge, including information covered by Crown copyright and database right, under a common open licence. This ensures harmonised terms across the public sector, compliance with the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005 and reduces any administrative burden from public sector bodies in permitting the use and re-use of the information they hold and produce.

OEM Technical Manager, Shell Lubricants
Manufacturing products also means transporting them, typically via truck. With new fuel economy standards coming and changes to diesel engine technology, a new engine oil specification is needed. In 2011, work began on a new diesel engine oil category for on-highway diesel engines called PC-11.
The new category is driven by changes in engine technology to meet emissions, renewable fuel and fuel economy standards for CO2 and other greenhouse gases. In addition, there have been changes in engine hardware that better represent new technology entering the marketplace since the last category was approved in 2006, and older hardware used in current engine testing is expected to become unavailable.
The new lubricant specification will have to meet the need of lower CO2 engines, while providing fuel economy benefits and no compromise in engine life or durability. PC-11 should provide improvements in oxidation stability, aeration benefits, shear stability, compatibility with biodiesel blends and protection from scuffing/adhesive wear.
The Engine Manufacturers Association recommends that the PC-11 category be split into two separate and distinct subcategories associated with fuel efficiency with corresponding performance levels:
Stay tuned: Communication on the new category and proper application of the different products will be forthcoming. Shell is working with others in the industry to help define and develop the new engine oil category. MT
According to Spraying Systems, its single-point AccuJet® Electrostatic Lube System can improve chain lubrication while reducing oil consumption and conveyor downtime. Capable of accommodating up to four electrostatic nozzles with an injector pump for each, it provides uniform lubrication of critical areas and eliminates oil mist, thus creating a safer work environment and minimizing cleanup and contamination potential. A dedicated control panel requires no programming, allowing easy installation via user I/O integrated with a PLC-controlled system.

Techno-Sommer's Sharpshooter system addresses a number of lube challenges, including hard-to-reach lubrication points, expensive products that need to be precisely dispensed and the unacceptability of mist lubrication in a plant environment. Working off standard shop air at up to 90 psi, it can place a drop of lubricant at up to 1m away with pinpoint accuracy. A pressurized tank generates internal pressures up to 750 psi. When a pulse is generated, a fixed drop size is dispensed. Up to eight dispensing nozzles ranging in size from 5mm3 to 100mm3 can be attached to one tank. An extension hose of up to 2m in length allows for the dispensing nozzle to be placed around corners and in hard-to-reach spots.

Expand your grilling options with the first electric grill to replicate the power and performance of a professional gas grill—both indoors or out.

Letters to the editor
Wet Earth
Erin Wayman's article "Faint young sun" (SN: 5/4/13, p. 30), about how the early Earth stayed warm enough for liquid water, made me wonder about the effect of the temperature of the planet itself. A hotter core, thinner crust, more volcanism — wouldn't those factors in addition to atmospheric influences affect surface temperature?
Virginia Bruce, via e-mail
"For the present-day climate, internal heat provides only 0.02 percent of the energy input to the climate system," says Georg Feulner of Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Scientists estimate that heat flow 3.8 billion years ago was three times as high as today, still negligible compared with energy from the sun. — Erin Wayman
Planet search
Kudos to Eva Emerson for her editorial "Discoveries help reveal our place in the universe" (SN: 5/18/13, p. 2). She clearly defines the challenges in identifying a "true" Earthlike planet with current technologies. Too often, articles make claims on the distribution of hot Jupiters and Earthlike planets without considering the prejudicial nature of sampling techniques. This is why I have read Science News for over 20 years.
Robert Powell, Austin, Texas
Richard Marshall and Earl Kooi manipulated the chemical structure of cornstarch at the Corn Products Refining Company, not the Corn Projects Refining Company as misstated in "Sweet confusion" (SN: 6/1/13, p. 22).

"This card and the print quality was outstanding. I'm an art director and spend a lot of time in the print world. For the product I received and the quality of the card, I don't have a vendor that could have touched this project for what I paid here. I'm always looking for something unique - this card and experience are what all others will be judged by. The only miss I have, and it's so minor, would be to find a slightly better glue for the envelopes or perhaps offer up a peel-n-seal option. Once moistened, it took a while to set and stay closed. But this little thing has absolutely nothing to do with the design and quality of the card itself. I'll be coming here for all my needs of this nature."
"this card was PERFECT for us this year as we took some pictures on a family trip while in Napa (not intending to use them for Christmas but ended up having to do so). The colors on this card matched so well with the clothing colors we were wearing in summertime we selected it! It's vibrant and fun - really great design that makes a card pop out against all the red and green cards that will probably be on display :-)"
"I love this card and have gotten the most compliments on this one than any other we have sent out. I used the vibrant filter and it made our picture that much more amazing. The printing was extremely fast and delivery to not only myself, but those we were sending them to was swift and prompt. Thank you again TinyPrints for another amazing product"
"I have received so many compliments on this card, everyone thinks I applied a special treatment to my photo when it was really built into this beautiful card. I upgraded to the pearl paper option and it adds an even greater wow factor."
"I really loved that once you add a photo the filters just alter the photo and voila, it's done. I didn't have the best photos this year for our holiday card, but this layout did wonders! I also really appreciate that you can add text or photos on the back of the card. Just perfect."

Tscherning, Heidi (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The development of mobile devices has occurred with unprecedented pace since the late nineties, and the increase of generic services has proliferated in most developed countries, driven by the expanding technological capabilities and performance of mobile platforms. This dissertation investigates how consumer objectives, orientation, and behavior can aid in explaining the adoption and use of a new type of mobile devices: "app phones". This dissertation focuses its effort on two focal influences of adoption and use; social influences and competing forces. Through a qualitative case study and field study this dissertation explores early adoption and use of iPhones. The case study is a one-shot cross-sectional case study that investigates five individuals, related through the same social network, and their decision to adopt an iPhone prior to its release in Denmark. This adoption decision engenders high switching costs as adopters lack references to imitate and need skills to unlock and jailbreak their iPhones to make them work on Danish networks. The specific purpose of the case study is to explore how social influences impact mobile users' early adoption decisions, as it is well known in the literature that people with similar characteristics, tastes, and beliefs often associate in the same social networks and, hence, influence each other. The field study is cross-sectional with multiple snapshots and explores fifteen individuals part of the same university study, who receives an iPhone for a period of seven months short after its release in Denmark. The specific purpose of the field study is to explore how competing forces of iPhone usage influence assimilation, i.e. the degree to which the iPhone is used, over time. The dissertation, furthermore, contains a systematic literature review. The main contribution of this dissertation is reported through four articles and is directed at both academic researchers and practitioners. The study emphasizes the importance of social influences and competing forces in the investigation of adoption and use of certain mobile devices. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8342

Does Design Affect Participation?Høgenhaven, Thomas (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Governments in more than 55 countries have signed the international Open Gov-ernment Partnership and are currently implementing open government initia-tives, aiming to make governments and public sectors more collaborative, participatory, transparent, and technology-driven. If successfully implemented, such open government initiatives can improve democracy, efficiency, and innovation. As history demonstrates, it is hard to build sustainable online participation. Merely 25% of online communities gather more than 1,000 members in their lifetime. Most of the other 75 % fail due to lack of participation. Many open gov-ernment communities have shared or are likely to share the same destiny. Giving citizens, companies, and non-governmental organizations the chance to participate in government does not necessarily mean they will do it. Consequently, open government communities face a participation challenge. Current research shows that the design of the community plays a critical role in participation. Some design patterns foster participation while other patterns discourage it. Existing research also demonstrates that insights from the social sciences can be translated into design ideas and thereby help solve the participation problem. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8768

Shollo, Arisa (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This Ph.D. thesis is concerned with the role of the business intelligence (BI) output in organizational decision-making processes. The primary focus of this thesis is to investigate how this BI output is employed and deployed by decision-makers to shape collective judgement and to reach organizational decisions. Concerning the role of the BI output in decision-making the BI literature is characterized by normative ideas of how the BI output should be used in decision-making and how it can enable people to make better decisions. Most previous work has concerned methods and technologies to collect, store and analyze BI. It has also, assumed a rational approach to decision making where data from information systems are used to inform decisions either by reducing uncertainty, ambiguity or complexity. This study attempts to establish knowledge about the role of the BI output in the IT project prioritization process of the Group IT of the Danske Bank Group. Hence, the starting point of this thesis is a 16-month long interpretive study from March 2010 till July 2011 during which I observed the prioritization process and collected various forms of data. I use a rich dataset built from this longitudinal study of the IT project prioritization process in Group IT where thematic analysis is used to analyze the data. Overall, the study operates under the interpretive paradigm, which assumes that the world and knowledge are socially constructed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8664

From Vendors to CustomersRiis, Philip Holst (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Enterprise Systems (ES) are generally considered the price of entry for running a business. With the increased scope of ESs to encompass nearly every function or business process of a modern organization, an increasing number of different users are adopting and using the systems. These users occupy a number of different organizational roles which include a wide variety of different tasks in organizations and have very different requirements for ESs. To ensure a better fit between users and ESs, a number of ES vendors have begun to focus on reflecting the concept of organizational roles of users in their systems. Limited research has, however, addressed these "role-oriented" ESs; this dissertation attempts to provide a better understanding of them by studying their design, implementation, and use. The research design for this dissertation is based on Case Studies and the Grounded Theory Method with qualitative empirical data collected across three types of actors in an ES ecosystem: Vendors; partner companies; and customers. The findings are primarily presented in six appended research papers that are aimed at both researchers and practitioners. The main contribution of the dissertation is an improved understanding of: Representation of organizational roles in the deep and surface structures of ESs; the mapping, configuration, and tailoring of predefined systems roles to fit actual roles of users in organizations; and the potential benefits and role-related misfits of role-oriented ESs. Through discussion of the findings, the dissertation also illustrates how the design of role-oriented ESs is influenced by the different actors in an ecosystem. The dissertation also illustrates how systems, organizations, processes, and roles can be aligned during implementation by shifting basis and conceptual focus in the requirements analysis. Finally, the dissertation explains the impact of roleoriented technology on organizational performance and how this technology may influence the existing perception of the role taking process in organizations.

Catania v Chievo Verona: Preview
Catania striker Alejandro Gomez is setting his sights on a record-breaking season having already equalled his best tally of goals for a single season.
The Argentinian striker has found the back of the net four times in Serie A this season and one more goal, perhaps against Chievo tomorrow, would be a personal best for him since arriving in Italian football.
Not only does he want to break that record, though, but he wants the Sicilians to carry on going from strength to strength.
``The coach keeps reminding me that I have the chance of going into double figures and he really wants me to do it,'' he said.
``With (Rolando) Maran in charge, I am playing further up the field and don't have to worry as much about defending.
``I feel ready and really think I can do it.''
However, Gomez insists his personal landmark would be secondary to the club's success and continued permanence in the top flight of Italian football.
``It would be great to get to at least 25 points before the winter break,'' he said on his club's website.
``We need to win tomorrow to build on our point against Cagliari. It's going to be tough because Chievo are very strong opponents - I have never won against them, like against Bologna or Cagliari.''
Chievo's strength has not been as tangible this season as in the past, but their goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino says this is because the whole of the league, apart from the top three, is very even.
``If we had beaten Udinese last weekend, we would have been in mid-table now,'' he said.
``That says it all. There is a big shift in power each matchday.
``Apart from against Napoli and Milan we have always picked up at least a point, which I think is important.
``I have good memories of playing against Catania and we all want to bring an end to our poor away record.''
Chievo have lost five games out of five on their travels while Catania, who could be forgiven for having one eye on next weekend's Sicilian derby with Palermo, have lost only once at home - against champions Juventus.

Hundreds of years ago, people living in Northern Europe discovered that sleeping under a lightweight blanket filled with airy goose or duck down on a frigid night beat huddling under five heavy wool blankets. Americans have since joined the slumber party.
A comforter, or duvet, is a fabric shell filled with down, a combination of feathers and down, hypoallergenic down alternatives or another natural fiber. The shell is sealed and quilted. The more tightly woven the fabric (thread count), the less likely a feather will poke out. Goose down comforters are considered top of the line. Most people slip comforters in protective covers that can also double as a top sheet.
"Nothing beats the comfort of a comforter," says Nicole Sforza, Real Simple magazine's senior home editor. "They have become a staple in the American home."

Education does not become real until it is reinforced through repetition and discipline. We are by your side as you build your trading prowess. At each stage, knowledge is revealed that would not have been understandable to a novice student. This is the polar opposite of an educational method in which you are flooded with information then left to fend for yourself.
At the core of your learning is a simple, rules-based strategy that allows traders to anticipate market turns with a high degree of accuracy. Based on identifying an imbalance of supply and demand, this strategy works for any asset class, any trading style and any time frame from short term trading to retirement planning.
Regardless of market conditions, there is always an opportunity to make money somewhere. That's why we empower students to understand all asset classes—equities, futures, options, currency pairs and real estate—even if they are focusing on just one of them. Specialty classes in Platform Immersion and Trading Plan further broaden the student's perspective.
School is never out for the successful trader. After their core training, students progress to online XLT courses where they share a master trader's desktop, analyzing the markets and exploring live trades with the collaboration of other traders. For advanced students, the Mastermind Community recognizes attainment of the elite level of knowledge and skill.
Online Trading Academy students may move fluidly between virtual and physical venues. Online classrooms offer the convenience of audio, chat, application and sharing for advanced learning anywhere there is an Internet connection. In-person classes at our physical centers replicate the online experience with the additional benefit of face-to-face contact.

The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family is the story of Theresa and Jude Cousins. The couple is knee deep in the chaos of managing a family, a household and raising four children. Beyond the rigors of parenting, Theresa and Jude are overwhelmed by volunteer activities, business trips, family trips, soccer games, swim practice, birthday parties, play dates, Girl Scout meetings, client meetings, parent-teacher meetings, back-to-school nights, and in-law visits. As a result, they live in a constant state of hustle, with little free time to relax and communicate with one another. Theresa bears the brunt of the situation, and she has had enough.
After numerous declarations that things must change, Theresa finally has a revelation one day when Jude says, "If my clients ran their companies the way we run this family, they'd be out of business." Theresa decides to take a different look at her husband's consulting practice, with her eye on family life. Ultimately, she adapts his methodology for creating healthy organizations to the Cousins family, "the most important organization of all."During the story, Theresa struggles to operationalize her theoretical breakthrough, trying to balance theory with application in the real, messy world of family life. She experiences ups and downs along the way, but eventually develops a model that works.

A Very Interesting Surface Review
Found this from Marco Arment, who was under fire for his own Surface experience. I think a lot of what is said in this article matches my feelings about Windows Phone. I really like the look and feel of Metro UI. I love the Live Tile concept. I think the OS is beautiful and inventive.
But every time I think about leaving iOS and the investment I made there for something like WP, I realize that I am grading on a curve. The lack of ecosystem is a huge deal. The lack of systemwide notifications system is a big deal. Lots of little things that are missing is a big deal. It's really a shame.
Microsoft is doing the most interesting UI work of any major software company. Think about that for a second. I wish this was actually going to place some competitive pressure on Apple.

I have totally enjoyed my time on this board. It has been informative, and, oh my, so much help to me. Your advice has had a great impact on my diabetic control and lifestyle, but I am leaving. There have lately been some nasty and hurtful comments and I am gone.
With a lot of experience (50 years) and when you are asking for our advice, please don't tell me to stay on subject... That really hurt. I have been diabetic since I was 9 years old, and understand children and that other children are uneducated of theD environment and can truly impact the child. Try as you might, a non diabetic parent can never truly understand. And when peers are not accepting, it is devastating, especially to a teen.
I am sorry, but the comment was inappropriate and hurtful, and I am gone.
I appreciate all the help I have received. Thanks, and I will miss you.

The OP's comment sort of reads as mind your own business I didn't ask you opinion on this subject I did not ask you to second guess my decision. I don't know his/her intent with that comment so I'm going to give him/her a pass. The meaning of statements can sometimes be misunderstood and it will be a shame if we lose a valued member because of a misunderstanding.
Again I'm asking T1Forever to reconsider the decision to leave. When a valued member leaves we all lose.
Gary S
Karen - I agree. I don't think the response of the OP of the other thread was inappropriate at all. A bit direct, but nothing to lead someone to quit using TuD.
It was unprecedented. I haven't ever seen anyone say anything like that around here.
I know how one very hurtful comment can sting, but I do hope you'll reconsider. You have so much to offer those of us who are just learning about the D World!
I saw that comment earlier...
I almost said something but felt I'd caused enough trouble already... but I can go back and poke at it...
One more voice to please reconsider. You've been a pleasure to read and have certainly made this forum a better place.
Perhaps take a vacation from us. Absence sometimes does make the heart grow fonder.
Hi T1Forever
I hope your posting this post really means that you want to be convinced to stay.
It is easy to get upset at posts from time to time. But please let it pass - however you felt. We each make up a supportive and valuable community that is bigger than each of us indivually and which is such a powerful suport to others.
I am so proud we can reach out and support people who need it. Please stay to help with that and be the valuable member that you are.
I am so sorry, and if you read this, know that you have helped me and I always look forward to your posts. As someone in the teen years (17 years now) of having Type 1, I have spent much time recently bolstering my motivation for the long haul, and posts from a person like you help a "teenager" like me. I do hope you will keep hangin' with us.
I didn't see Rebuckster's response, so I don't know what he/she said, but I thought your response to the original post was fine. There was nothing wrong with what you said. It was your opinion, offered up respectfully as someone who lives with this condition. I mean, if the OP didn't want opinions, why did he/she post in this kind of forum to begin with??
Please stay. Don't let one bad thread ruin what is otherwise a really good place!!
I don't think I can fully comprehend what the non-diabetic parent of a diabetic kid is going through because I haven't done that myself.
In some ways, as a T1 since I was a kid myself, maybe I have it easy compared to the parents.
But when it comes to sham cures, I'll come down hard on the charlatan every single time. I don't think you have to leave, because of what some charlatan was trying to sell, if that was the issue. I don't remember seeing the problem posts in question, but if you were coming down hard on a scammer, I don't have any problem with that.
...Another vote for you to stay. It's SO easy to have mutual misunderstandings online, and we all have our hot-buttons and sensitivities around diabetes that make those misunderstandings even more likely to happen, and more painful when they do. I hope when the sting from the interaction fades you'll decide to stay with us. :)

"This shows how focused we are on ensuring outstanding fiscal responsibility and management as we work to create the best educational program for our children," Superintendent Heath Morrison said.
The district's audit committee of the board of trustees met Monday. Auditors validated that the district is in excellent financial standing, the district's chief accountant Tom Ciesynski said.
The district has conducted a number of major initiatives this year in the midst of making $37 million in budget cuts. The board of trustees' implementation of the strategic plan in August this year led to an enforcement of best practices in an aggressive effort to maximize its funding. Despite declining enrollment numbers, Washoe County has improved its graduation rate by 7 points to 63 percent and student test scores have increased.
"As the Nevada Legislature meets this coming year and gets ready to make some major decisions that could impact schools, we need to continue to talk about why it's so important to invest in K-12 and higher education," Ciesynski said. "We want to make sure we have a stable infrastructure so that quality companies are going to want to come to northern Nevada and create new jobs."
The Washoe County School District will submit the report to the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada in pursuit of its 10th Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
