A new dimension to smartphones
Nokia's latest salvo in the smartphone segment was recently unveiled in Singapore and I was amongst the first people in the world to touch and play around with it. Here's my in-depth review of the phone that's directly pitted against the Google Nexus One and even the iPhone.
The Nokia N8 introduces a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras. I have used the Nokia N82 which has a 5 MP camera and I was super impressed with the photos. So, I have very high respect for Carl Zeiss and Xenon combination. Expect very good photos from this phone.
The N8 is the world's first smartphone to incorporate Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound technology. The folks at Nokia demonstrated it and I have to say that it offers a home theatre experience. The inclusion of Dolby Digital Plus in the Nokia N8 brings a new dimension to the capabilities of the smartphone, transforming it into an HD mobile entertainment device, which can output high definition content with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 channel surround sound to HD-ready TVs and home theatre systems.
Powered by Symbian ^3, the Nokia N8 supports gestures such as flick scrolling and pinch-zoom and offers multiple, personalisable homescreens which can be loaded with apps from Ovi Store. Honestly, all this is nothing new. The biggest negative factor that will weigh down the N8 is its operating system. Symbian ^3 does not match up to the iOS4 (in iPhones) or Android. The positive thing to note is that Symbian ^3 is a stop-gap solution, just as Windows Mobile 6.5 was for Windows Phone 7. A lot of hope rests on Symbian 4 which is expected to be way better.
The music player is quite nice. Its powerful 1GHz CPU along with a dedicated Graphics Processing Unit means that the music plays seamlessly and is quick to respond. Add that to the unique and amazing feature called 'Nokia Comes with Music' which lets you access a whole truck full of music tracks. It has both 2D and 3D graphics acceleration that should make it feel at home while using graphics heavy mobile games.
There's even sufficient space for you to fill up your music. The Nokia N8 has 16 GB of in-built storage space, expandable up to 48 GB with a Micro SD card. Large files can be easily transferred to a memory stick with the USB On-the-Go.
I was quite impressed with the performance of N900 and it looks like the goodness of memory management also gets reflected on the N8. This means that you can use multiple applications at the same time without feeling the lag.
Nokia is offering developers a new platform to innovate on. The Nokia N8 comes integrated with Qt, a software development environment that simplifies the development and makes it possible to build applications once and deploy across Symbian and other software platforms. Nokia has also made it simple to use Nokia Qt SDK available in its initial beta, to enable developers to start realising the potential of Qt. The N8 is also Nokia's first handset that's integrated with Qt.
The touchscreen is capacitive which means that its quick to respond to your finger touches. It measures 3.5 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. Nokia announced that the cost of N8 is 370 Euros before taxes. This is around Rs 21,000 which is quite competitively priced. Nokia N8 has taken some positive steps forward in the smartphone segment even though its rivals are increasingly raising the bar higher.

What I See Common in Nokia and Dr.M.S.Swaminathan
The first time I heard about the Information Kiosks scheme in villages many years ago, it caught my attention for two reasons. Reason 1: The scheme was launched in a village in Pondicherry, not far from our village where my family hails from. Reason 2: Dr.M.S.Swaminathan. Yup, the genius behind the scheme. Ever since that eventful meeting I had with him at his office, I have had deep admiration for him and his vision.
What the Information Kiosks did was to help provide information like the existing crop prices and remedies for crop diseases. The experiment created a lot of interest. For many of the villagers, it was their first exposure to Internet and technology, even if it meant on pitifully slow dial-up connections.
Yesterday, when I heard about Nokia's Life Tools scheme, it reminded me again of Dr.Swaminathan's Digital Kiosks scheme. The difference is that instead of a PC, its happening on a mobile device. Instead of everyone coming to a room in a village to access, its now available in your palm. More importantly on entry level, inexpensive mobile phones. Now, farmers can get customized information on crop prices, fertilizers and pesticides based on the farmer's location and his choice of crop.
I personally witnessed how rural folks cleverly use mobile. And almost invariably, it has to do with maximizing their income. During December 2004, as part of the Tsunami relief work, me and a bunch of friends traveled to MGR Thittu near Chidambaram in Tamilnadu. We noticed that the fishermen would venture out into the ocean and before they returned back with their overnight catch, they would call from their mobile phones and find out which markets have more demand and thus willing to pay the highest for their catch. They would accordingly steer their boats to that place. Simple phone calls helped them get better returns. The lesson is that folks will embrace technology if they see a direct monetary benefit.
Will Nokia Life Tools be a success? Yes, if it can help directly benefit like how the fishermen got benefited. While passive benefits like learning English better are good, it ultimately boils down to how can it help get better income. If that happens, the acceptance would be swift. Think of how the lassi wallahs in Chandigarh helped boost washing machine sales.
Any new initiative will take time to be accepted and it needs to be educated, especially when it comes to rural audience. That's the mantle that Nokia seems to have taken.
One thing I have to agree outright is that the best way for technology to reach out to rural India will not be through PCs. It *has* to be through mobile phones. The amount of massive usuage of mobile phones in villages is staggering. I only have to look at my own village to see this. From that angle, there's no doubting the reasoning and the strategies behind the Nokia Life Tools. This project is right now in a pilot stage and is expected to roll out during first half of 2009.
Music Powers the Mobile Growth
Disclaimer: I'm an invitee to Nokia Remix London as a tech columnist and blogger. In other words, Nokia paid for my travel and accomodation costs. While its natural to view my posts as 'paid posts', I'd like to emphasise that I retain full editorial control and Nokia has not hinted or requested me even once to write in their favor.
The venue for the launch of Nokia's new music phone couldn't be more appropriate. It was at the 120 year old theatre and now a club in Central London that has seen numerous performances by world renowned artists.
Nokia unveiled its latest XpressMusic 5800 to a packed auditorium of worldwide journalists and bloggers. There's a strong reason why Nokia is so serious about its music phone and I witnessed it for myself when I travelled down London's famous Tube. Nearly 70% of the folks in my tube capsule were plugged in.
Another strong reason – The Apple iPhone. Clearly, Apple has jolted Nokia bad. While Apple had swept the music market with the iPods, its entry into the phone market with its successful iPhone had made Nokia highly uncomfortable. Many times during the event, there were mentions about the iPhone, never once with their name but with thinly veiled references as 'the competitor's product'. While the latest phone is not publicly pitted as an iPhone killer, its the first salvo from Nokia in the touch screen space. In other words, its salvo against the iPhone. There are clear indications that there will be many more touch screen phones with advanced features in the pipe line.
Music is very personal and all of us would like to carry it along with us. And this level of personalization and mobility ties in perfectly into the very nature of a mobile phone. No wonder that companies that Nokia, Apple, Samsung and heck, even those Chinese phones are making it a mandatory feature in their mobile phones.
There was a time when I would carry my mobile, my Canon Powershot digital camera and an apple iPod nano along with me. Now I find my present phone quite capably taking on the functions of those stand-alone gadgets. Just one device and that's all I need to carry along.
I asked Bill, who heads User Interface Design and the main guy behind the design of the Nseries phones, if music will become a standard feature of even entry level phones. He pointed to the example of cameras. Three or four years ago, you would have to buy a high-end phone to get a camera in your phone but now its pretty much part of all camera models. Similarly, he said that music will become part of a phone's basic feature. He was also quick to add that there will be differentiating features from lower end to high end phones. Just like a lower end phone might just have a VGA camera and a high end phone has a 5 MP camera, music features will also vary. Fair enough, I'd say.
I played around only a little with the XpressMusic 5880 and my first impression is that it doesn't have the Oomph factor of the iphone. However, its form factor and the usability has taken a big step forward. The user interface is a great improvement over the Nseries phones and that's a welcome change.Touch is seriously the way to go and this is the route more and more of the Nokia phones will go in the future.
Oh, I have picked up an interesting question to add to my set of quiz questions. "Who is the World's Biggest Manufacturer of Music Instruments?". I know you can easily guess the answer with where the story is going but if I asked this question to another group, I'm fairly certain that they would either answer Sony or Apple. Four years ago, I remember Derek Obrien asked a question during the finals of the ET quiz which was quite similar. He wanted to know the world's largest manufacturer of digital cameras. The answers were either Canon or Kodak. No one would've guessed Nokia.
I'm certain that in a few year's time, Nokia WILL become the world's largest manufacturer of computers. Right now, the Nseries phones arent the best substitureand I won't throw away my laptop in a hurry, but that's something that Nokia and the rest of the manufacturers will be vying for.
Just like how I never carry my MP3 player or my digital camera anymore, I probably won't need to lug my laptop. Hopefully, at a cost that that won't make me squirm.
The 'Eat-All-You-Want' Music Store Strategy
If someone told me that there is a place where I can download all the music I want for free, I'd have guessed it to be ThePirateBay or one of those torrent sites. But if they told me that I can download all the music I want for free LEGALLY, I'd be stumped for an answer. And then if they told me that, *THAT* place is Nokia.com, I would've been gobsmacked. And that's exactly what I heard at the Nokia Remix in London.
If you buy any of the latest N95, XpressMusic 5310, or the latest 5800, you get the candybar opened up all for you. For the next one year, you get to download as many songs as you want and get to keep them for life.
Now, you'll realize the importance of this when you look at the kind of people offering this music. Take a look. Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music, EMI, The Ministry of Sound. Gosh, do you realise what you are reading? These are the biggest music companies in the world. Between them, you have pretty much the entire list of big name artists.
Let me throw you a real-life example, just so you understand this well. You go to a cell phone shop, let's say 'The Mobile Store' in Spencers Plaza. When you make the payment for the phone, the lady at the counter says that there is a 'Free Gift' that comes with the phone. And that free gift is that you can walk into Landmark, Odyssey or any music store in India, and pick up any CD or cassettes you want. Yes, there's no limit. You can fill up your car's entire trunk and if that gets filled, you can fill up the back seat too. That's not all.You can come back to the store everyday, if you want, and continue the swindling. All this is legal and the securiity guard will let you go with a bow and a smile.
Now, why would Nokia and the Music companies want to give away the music for free? Considering that Nokia sold an estimated 100 crore music phones, isn't the music companies going to lose billions of dollars?
Look beyond the obvious. Lets first look at Nokia's angle. It's a coup de grace. The BEST ever marketing strategy that I have heard this company do. They are giving you an offer you can't refuse. And its an offer that the competitors cannot easily replicate. You can copy mobile phone features, but you can't replicate relationships. And its never easy to do that with the world's biggest music companies.
Another reason what Nokia wants to do is hook you. It wants you to get familiar with its music store, which is part of Nokia's big business revenue strategy. One look at Apple's iTunes success will tell you the reason why Nokia is after this market.
But Nokia knows that the majority of the folks don't like paying for music. When you can get free music from torrent sites, why pay? Tell me about it! 🙂 And so they are taking piracy head on with the most potent weapon, the FREE. Now, there's nothing holding back from downloading songs. Once you know how easy it is for you to use, you get comfortable first and then get hooked to it. So, when your one year free license expires, there's a fair chance you might continue to pick up music by paying a reasonbaly small amounts of money. It may be small money for you but multiply that small money into multiple millions of users and suddently, you are looking at huge money. So that's the strategy.
What's in it for the music companies? Simple. They've realized that they can't fight piracy. They know they are fighting a losing battle which they can never win. So, the smarter thing is to flow with the tide. They know that the days of buying CDs is gone. Internet is the future and the mobile phones will be the biggest gateway. Hence it makes sense to tie up with the world's largest producer of mobile phones. They immediately get a fantastic distribution system. So, when the free period finishes, they can hope to share the revenue pie.
To me, Its a wonderful case of win-win-win situation.
Shah Rukh's New Nokia Ad
This is the latest Nokia ad featuring SRK that will hit the TV screens soon. When I heard about the new advt, I asked the Nokia team if they can pass on the video to me. It was a 5 MB video and never made it past their email system. The logical thing was to have it uploaded onto YouTube.
I was under the impression that most promos/video are typically kept under wraps until it hits the TV or the big screen and so it was a pleasant surprise when they let me have the video. It's a sure shot sigh that the big companies are waking up the power of blogs and social media.
The video was shot by Pradeep Sarkar, the director of Parineeta and the new Rani Mukherjee starrer, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag.
I was able to get some interesting tid bits about this video. Shah Rukh Khan agreed to devote 8 hours for the shoot amongst his schedule and that's all the luxury that the ad team had to play with. In order to maximize the usage of the 8 hours, simultaneous sets were erected in the same studio at Mumbai.
The script required 7 sets to be built. If you see the ad, there's a different set of almost all major scenes (living room, the baby room, railway station, Hotel promenade, Red carpet premiere, Discotheque and the Balcony with the city skyline view). Apparently many production houses refused to take up this shooting contract because they felt 8 hours was too short a time to shoot the entire ad. Pradeep Sarkar was one of the few ones to take up the challenge and that's how he got to make it.
The team started with the sets since mid-November and the actual ad was shot last week. The shoot started at 3:00 PM and closed around 11 in the night. SRK was having a temperature and wasn't keeping too well but you never get to see that on the ad.
I'm told that SRK has been a Nokia phone user for the last 10 years (his current phone is a E90) and that was the one of the major reasons why he agreed to do the ad. The other factor, I'm guessing, would be the money! 🙂

Last Thursday marked the opening of the 10th annual Trailer Park Festival showcasing the the best of emerging music, art and technology against the backdrop of Copenhagen's indoor skatepark. Last year, the Trailer Park team took the leap to reshape the festival's program not only around the incredible music line-up and art installations but incorporating technology into the event by way of Trailer Park I/O.
I/O flourished in its second year—drawing dozens of creative presenters to show their work over the course of the day. Head of Trailer Park I/O Kaave Pour opened the event discussing the 5 themes I/O would be tackling: The Spying Society, Virtual Worlds, Conversational Interfaces, Computational Creativity and Responsive Materials.
The themes unfolded through talks, labs, installations and exhibitions with highlights including a presentation by founders of the animated gif art gallery 15Folds, Margot Bowman and Sean Frank Johnson. Bowman and Johnson detailed their path to creating and curating the online gallery and showed a selection of their favorite gifs that exemplified the art form.
On the other end of the spectrum, Paris-based Studio Appropriate Audiences showcased their 3D printing Tattoo machine 'Tatoué. The machine—consisting of a hacked makerbot has gone through several iterations since the beginning of the project in 2014. The machine, which sits squarely between ingenious and grimace-inducing has gained so much attention over the last months that the team has released a guide on how to hack any 3D printer to create your own tattoo machine.
From the VICE-curated film selection on one stage to the morning interactive labs - Trailer Park I/O showcased a true excitement and sense of humor about the technologies of today - and tomorrow.

Great, great photos!!! Hope he has more to share with us like myself who never took photos because I always thought "Herman" would be around. Lesson learned I always had my camera with me at work. I have my share of Midwest Express DC-9's and at the time I figured they would be around forever good thing I was smart the second time around.

Except for possible knee damage, there is little similarity between Joe Na-math, 37, and New York Gov. Hugh Carey, 61. But the game guv wore Number 12 (Joe's old Jets number) on a jersey emblazoned NAMATH in an Albany touch football skirmish. The 12 Carey kids gave Dad the shirt years ago, suggesting there was a "passing" resemblance in his style to Broadway Joe. When reporters challenged his staff, Carey dug out the jersey to "intimidate" his foes. It didn't work. Carey and his cohorts were clobbered, 18-6.
The Wonder Women
After winning her 100th professional tournament, the Lynda Carter/Maybelline Tennis Classic in Deer Creek, Fla., Chris Evert-Lloyd didn't need a lift, but she got one anyway from her hostess and old buddy. Eight months ago Chris, Wonder Woman and their husbands dreamed up the $100,000 tourney, sponsored by the cosmetics company. Lynda, a proficient weekend player, took part in this year's event—but as a coach, not a competitor. She conducted a makeup class for the players, with tips on eyelines instead of baselines. Among her pupils: 15-year-old Andrea Jaeger (the other finalist) and Renee Richards.
The Jones girls
Returning from a trip to the Orient, Marjorie Jones, mother of disco singer Grace (I Need a Man) Jones, caught her daughter's stage act for the first time. Seated in the mostly male, largely gay Saturday night audience at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan, she watched Grace perform her S&M-tinged disco routine, lashing whips and yanking onlookers' hair. "Mom loved it," said Grace with a grateful hug. Then Mrs. Jones fled home to Syracuse. Her husband is a clergyman, and Marjorie teaches Sunday school.
Carly in sympathy
Carly Simon and writer Jacob Brackman go way back—to 1967, when they were camp counselors in Massachusetts. He was teaching creative writing and she guitar. Later they collaborated on such early Simon hits as Haven't Got Time for the Pain and That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be. They are still providing mutual aid, though now in adversity. Carly is subdued since her recent onstage collapse ("from exhaustion") before 3,700 in Pittsburgh. And Brackman's latest film, Times Square, which he wrote and co-produced, was generally trashed by critics. But at the Manhattan premiere party, the two friends put the best face on it—and nobody does it better.
Teresa in Rome
No ordinary pilgrim was treading the timeworn cobbles near St. Peter's in Rome but India's "sidewalk saint," Mother Teresa. The 1979 Nobel Peace Prize winner had been invited to the Vatican by Pope John Paul II to observe the Synod of Bishops and discuss family issues. The 70-year-old nun also spoke publicly to 25,000 at a "Missionary Day" gathering in Bergamo, where she reiterated the firm opposition to abortion that she shares with the Pontiff. "Love," she explained, "means giving until you reach sacrifice."
Bobbins on a toot
Tom Robbins' new book, Still Life with Woodpecker, is a love story that takes place largely within a pack of Camels—such is the power of his fantasy. The novel has been number one on the paperback best-seller list since September, though the author has yet to make a single TV appearance. But Robbins, 44, has been attracting notice, and not just by blowing his "corn horn," the banana-shaped, ocarina-like instrument he wears around his neck. At one San Francisco book-signing session he drew 300 fans and spoke at length with many of them. Between appearances, Robbins is expanding his horn repertoire. "I'm trying to learn the Close Encounters theme," he quips, "so I can call in a spaceship."

There are more than eight million people in New York City, and a myriad of ways to meet them. Given our increasing reliance on social media to stay connected with the people we already know, it's no surprise that more and more of us are forgoing bars, clubs, sports teams and happy hours, and instead turning to the web to find love.
Some 800,000 New Yorkers now have accounts on OkCupid, a Manhattan-based dating website founded in 2004. These users are counting on four Ivy League math majors (OkCupid's founders) to find their soul mates—or at least someone to spend a fun Friday night with. I sat down with one of the company's founders, Christian Rudder, as well as the site's Chief Technology Officer, Tom Quisel, to talk about how the OkCupid matching algorithm works. Rudder and Quisel revealed some of the invisible controls used to create a better user experience, as well as what their massive cache of data can—and can't—tell you about your prospective dates.Quisel starts by explaining how New Yorkers' famously snobbish ideas about distance have led the site's creators to rethink matchmaking here in NYC.
Quisel starts by explaining how New Yorkers' famously snobbish ideas about distance have led the site's creators to rethink matchmaking here in NYC.
While the user interface of OkCupid feels pretty simple—type up a profile, add some flattering photos, answer some questions and then search away—the infrastructure behind it is much more complex. Rudder details how the site's matching system works, and Quisel tackles one of the most difficult identity questions currently facing programmers.
Short of asking users to fill out an exit survey after every date, it can be difficult to gauge just how well the matching system is working. The tech team checks the health of their algorithm by looking at what they call "three-ways." And no, it's not what you think.
Many users with profiles on OkCupid have received flattering emails telling them they have been deemed attractive by other OkCupid users. Due to your high attractiveness rating, the email says, you are now going to see more pretty people when you search for matches. So how exactly does the algorithm decide who is good looking?
I have had an OkCupid profile on and off for quite some time. Occasionally I will run into real-life friends on the site. I've always thought this is a good sign—I know and like these people already, so the algorithm must be doing something right. Except, of course, that I don't want to date any of these friends, for one reason or another. This left me wondering: With all of that question-and-answer data, what can't the algorithm predict about my potential matches and me?

The 41-year old author of The Body Book stopped by BBC America's The Graham Norton Show to promote her new film, and reaffirm her pro-pubic hair stance.
Diaz, who recently told Glamour UK that "all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point," entitled a chapter in her new health and fitness book "In Praise of Pubes." Diaz stopped by the British talk show last night and said,"I would like to clear up what I said. I don't care what women do with it but we should be informed about how their bodies work. It is there for a reason and to laser it off is to lose it forever!"
The blonde actress added, "It will never come back and I think women should consider what forever means," while fellow guests Aussie pop star Kylie Minogue and Noah actor Russell Crowe looked on somewhat bewildered.
Cameron's appearance on The Graham Norton Show airs tonight on BBC America. The Other Woman opens nationwide April 25th.

Our Best Buys and Favorite Wines from the Excellent 2015 Bordeaux vintage
Wines will arrive in early 2018
Quantities are very limited – ORDER NOW! We can NOT order more without paying higher prices!
"Bordeaux enjoyed its strongest vintage in a number of years in 2015. The warm, dry summer yielded opulent wines built on intense fruit and voluptuous textures. At their best, the 2015s are spectacularly rich, racy wines loaded with personality. Even before the grapes had been brought in, the hype machine started to get revved up with early reports of a potentially epic vintage on a par with recent standouts like 2005, 2009 and 2010. After having tasted through many hundreds of wines, it is clear that, while there are indeed some fabulous wines in 2015. Most importantly for the consumer, the sweet spot in 2015 is exactly the wines Bordeaux excels in; delicious pedigreed Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot-based red that offer superb quality and value." Antonio Galloni – Vinous.com
"It's time again to make cellar space for an exciting crop of wines from Bordeaux, as the 2015 vintage is shaping up to be best since 2010. The vintage's strengths are threefold. The young reds are powered by rich, velvety tannins and unctuous fruit, matched by remarkable freshness and delineation. In addition, dry whites are superb, and the late-harvest wines from Barsac and Sauternes are sensational. It's that rare trifecta of high quality." James Molesworth – The Wine Spectator

Board of Trustees seeks Chair-Deadline extended until 26 February
We are looking for a Chair to join our Board of Trustees. Stonewall Housing is in the midst of a positive change and growth process. We are looking for a dynamic Chair for this fulfilling and exciting role to help us build on our achievements and continue the great work we have done so far.
The post of Chair is an unpaid role. Minimum commitment is to attend 6 board meetings per year. The Chair is also expected to have regular meetings with the Chief Executive, and also represent the Organisation at various events and meetings with key stakeholders.
Bob Green, CEO says: 'After 9 years on Stonewall Housing's Board of Trustees and 6 years as Chair, we regret to announce that Andrew van Doorn has decided to step-down from the position. Andrew has been an inspiration for trustees and staff as the organisation has faced significant challenges through recent years. However, he leaves the organisation on a stronger footing with its new Growth Strategy, which aims to improve housing advice and support services for LGBT+ people.'
On announcing his retirement from the Board Andrew said: "Being Chair of Stonewall Housing has been both enjoyable and rewarding. It has been a real pleasure to work alongside CEO Bob Green OBE, a dedicated staff team and fellow trustees, steering the organisation through some difficult times. Stonewall Housing is a brilliant and much needed organisation, and as we find ourselved in the grip of a housing and homelessness crisis, the specific needs of LGBT+ people cannot and should not be forgotten."
We are particularly keen to recruit trans people as they are currently under-represented on the Board.
Deadline for applications 19 February
The post will be filled by someone who is committed to challenging direct and indirect discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans* people from all sections of our communities.

She founded the U.S. Order of the Sisters of Charity and greatly advanced Catholic Education in America.
Seton House color is blue, which symbolizes strength and loyalty. The Crest is segmented by a Chevron, a house's roof, indicating protection and faithful service.

Honey and Pumpkin Soup
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: The honey gives the soup a subtle sweetness while the spices keep things warm and tasting exactly how pumpkin soup ought to. Also worth noting that kabocha squash is the ultimate soup-pumpkin (and everything pumpkin for me.) It's flesh is the starchiest, creamiest and of all all the winter sqaush, the healthiest in it's sugar, fiber and calorie counts.
Staying in on a lazy, wintry Friday night never looked so good with a bowl -- and obligatory returns to the stove for more. —Kailey Kramer
Serves: 4-6
large kabocha squash (preferred) or sugar pumpkin
cloves of garlic
leek, cut thin
tablespoons good honey
splashes dry white wine
low-sodium vegetable broth
bay leaf
tablespoon cinnamon
teaspoons ground nutmeg
teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2
cups almond milk (or your milk of choice)
cup greek yogurt for topping (optional)
mustard greens, pepitas, pomegranate seeds, toasted almonds (optional)
- Pre-heat a 400F oven and roast the squash in large pieces in skins for about 20 - 30 minutes, or just until tender. This can be done ahead and kept in the fridge for a few days. Before preparing the soup, remove the skins and scoop out the flesh into a bowl and cut roughly into large chunks . Set aside. Heat the olive oil in medium size pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant and add onion. Add a pinch of salt to sweat the onion and cook until translucent. At this point, add the honey and allow the onions to caramelize. The pan should also be on high heat. Deglaze the pot with the splash of white wine (one quick circle around the pan) half of the stock and scape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining stock. Add 1 C. of almond milk, pumpkin, bay leaf and spices. Stir, cover and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing flavors to combine. Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a blender -- work in batches if need be. Blend until smooth, adding additional stock if you feel the consistency is too thick. Return to the pan and whisk in the other 1/2 of almond milk and greek yogurt. Transfer back to pot and heat through on the stove and whisk briefly. Add a 1/4 C. of plain greek yogurt if you're looking for even more more creaminess.
- Drizzle with a bit of honey, top with desired greens and garnish. Serve and enjoy.
- Note: Any of the spice measurements can be adjusted to your taste and more stock or milk can be added if you feel the soup appears too thick after blending.

The Driver is the Ultimate Management System of the car. We can invent, research, engineer, and crash test cars, but in order for the car to perform at the level of its design, the driver must learn to perform at his/her highest level.
The Adults Skills Program is a unique and exciting Driver Development Program. It is designed for a broad range of objectives for experienced drivers:
- Do you believe you need to sharpen your skills to a higher level to learn to defend yourself? Many drivers are simply not very confident in their ability to respond to a crisis while driving.
- Would you like to be more comfortable while driving, especially in adverse conditions? When conditions are bad, many people begin to contract muscles, hold their breath, and make it almost impossible to respond to that situation. MasterDrive has developed this very effective training to help drivers become more comfortable – especially drivers who may have been in a traumatic crash – to help them overcome that extreme fear.
- The engineering technology in today's cars is awesome. Would you like to learn to use this new technology to help save your life? Most people have not had an opportunity to learn to use the systems such as: ABS, New Active Suspension System, Traction Control, and more.
This is an experiential program to learn to use your car's safety features and safety systems.
There are not many places where you can go experience your car and your skills in a controlled environment.
This course will help you accomplish those things. And it is more fun than you can imagine. You will become a much more confident driver!

The five classifications of fires are Classes A, B, C, D and K. Fires that fall under A, B and C are considered common types of fires, and D and K fires fall under the specialty category.Continue Reading
Class A fires deal with any kind of common flammable material, like wood or plastic. Class B fires deal with oil-based products that can sometimes reflash after being put out. Class C fires result from electrical equipment and wiring. Class D fires typically occur in industrial situations, because they involve the combustion of flammable metals. Class K fires are fires that are related to oil and grease.Learn more about Government & Politics

I recently stumbled across a piece of text in a forthcoming chapter of the Oxford Handbook of Leadership and Organizations, which made me smile. It made me smile because leading authors in the field, Scott DeRue and Christopher Myers, structured the issue I had with the 70:20:10 rule nicely. Here it comes:
"A common assumption in the existing literature is that 70% of leadership development occurs via on-the-job assignments, 20% through working with and learning from other people (e.g., learning from bosses or coworkers), and 10% through formal programs such as training, mentoring or coaching programs (McCall et al., 1988; Robinson & Wick, 1992).
Despite the popularity of this assumption, there are four fundamental problems with framing developmental experiences in this way.
- First and foremost, there is actually no empirical evidence supporting this assumption, yet scholars and practitioners frequently quote it as if it is fact.
- Second, as McCall (2010) appropriately points out, this assumption is misleading because it suggests informal, on-the-job experiences, learning from other people, and formal programs are independent. Yet, these different forms of experience can occur in parallel, and it is possible (and likely optimal) that learning in one form of experience can complement and build on learning in another form of experience.
- Third, it is inconsistent with the fact that a large portion of organizational investments are directed at formal leadership development programs (O'Leonard, 2010). It is certainly possible that organizations are misguided in their focus on and deployment of these programs (Conger & Toegel, 2003), but we are not ready to condemn formal programs given the lack of empirical evidence.
- Finally, it is possible that the "70:20:10" assumption leads organizations to prioritize informal, on-the-job experience over all other forms of developmental experiences, which some scholars argue allows leadership development to become a "haphazard process" (Conger, 1993: 46) without sufficient notice to intentionality, accountability and formal evaluation (Day, 2000)."
Why do I like it? Because today I often hear and read that we have a leadership crisis, but if we're developing our leaders based upon assumptions like the 70:20:10 rule this can hardly be called a surprise. Stated differently, we are in dire need to make our leadership programs best practices instead of best guesses. The later starts with consulting scientists in order to know what works and what is still unknown, and by measuring the effects of leadership programs in quantitative, qualitative and longitudinal ways.
Yes, doing this is a hassle. Yes, it takes time and costs money (at first sight). And yes, it is complicated and sometimes politically dangerous. But then, and only then can a sound decision be made on how to refine leadership programs beyond the current practitioners expertise and judgment, the evidence from the context, and the perspective of the participants. As those sources no longer do the job.
In sum, leadership development should move beyond the 70:20:10 rule, and into evidence based leadership development. It seems that individuals, organizations, and societies need it today more than ever.
Any comments?

I know it's July or August (I forget), but this ad just makes me think of the glory of the Last Day of School (elementary years). Free Popsicle-brand Popsicles were handed out (or Otter Pops if the budget was low), and the whole school watched a movie in the gym together, either The Cat From Outer Space or the movie advertised here, the 1974 musical version of Hucklberry Finn.

My to do list on Saturday included this item: Make a batch of garlic confit.
I had added this, on this specific day, for some really good reason. This is how I plan the meals for the week—I put together my list of what we're going to eat on each day, and then I add things to the to do list that are critical to executing the official meal plan. Some might call this OCD or anal or what have you, but I call it the only way I can ensure we actually eat before 10:30 or 11 pm every night.
So, when The Pickle went down for his Saturday morning nap, I got to the business of peeling garlic cloves. I poured in some oil. I got the pan simmering on the stove and cranked it down to low and slow. I mulled over the menu plan in my mind. Perhaps I meant for the garlic confit to replace the chopped garlic in the chard and gnocchi I planned for Monday?
Perhaps I meant to use it in a salad dressing? Perhaps added to a soup I planned to serve on Wednesday? I pondered this while I peeled clove after clove of garlic and popped them in a tiny pan, ready to cover with oil and simmer.
This, folks, is what sleep deprivation does to me. And this is why I have to write everything down, because otherwise, I probably wouldn't remember who I was half the time. Or all of the time. It really depends on how many times I got up with the boy on a given night.
Regardless, the confit bubbled on the stove, and I gave up trying to figure out why I wanted it in the first place. Whatever I'd meant to use it for would reveal itself in due time, or it wouldn't, and worst case scenario, we'd have a batch of confit and delicious, garlic-infused oil to use up over the next two to three weeks. I can think of far, far more irritating problems.
Looking to make some delicious garlic confit yourself? Here are some great resources:
- Kalyn of Kalyn's Kitchen has a great tutorial for making garlic confit using your dutch oven.
- Like me, Nick Evans of Macheesmo uses the stovetop method, though he's way more accurate than I am, with the whole thermometer thing and all.
- If you want a garlic confit with pedigree, here's Thomas Keller's recipe for you, courtesy of The Delicious Life.
- If you have access to sous vide equipment, here's a great way to prepare not just garlic confit, but confit pearl onions and mini peppers, as well.

Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 2-in-1 might have only arrived in all its forms a few weeks ago, but that isn't stopping office retailer Staples from offering a $100 Surface Pro 3 price cut in time for back to school shoppers to save.
A $100 off coupon is what gets Staples shoppers a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 for as low as $699. For comparison, the Surface Pro 3 launched with an entry-level price of $999 before Microsoft introduced a cheaper $799 version that includes less storage and a less powerful processor.
Today the Surface Pro 3 starts at $699 for a model with an Intel Core i3 processor and 64GB of storage. The $999 version of the Surface Pro 3 includes an Intel Core i5 processor with 128GB of storage and users can get 256GB of storage for $1299. An Intel Core i7 model with 256GB of storage starts at $1,549. The Staples coupon lets users get all the versions of the Surface Pro 3 the retailer sells for $100 off, giving users a bit of breathing room to purchase accessories and extras.
And to be clear, that's probably exactly what Staples is counting on. With other Windows PCs, retailers like Staples are able to recoup money on discounts by reminding buyers that they're going to need extras like Microsoft Office or a compatible mouse and keyboard. It's called attachment selling, and with the Surface Pro 3 attachment selling has never been easier.
The Surface Pro 3 has a 12-inch high-definition touch screen display and an included stylus. To the untrained eye the Surface Pro 3 would appear to be just a plain tablet – however, the Surface Pro 3's Intel processors allow it to run a full version of Windows. Microsoft markets the Surface Pro 3 as the easy solution to not carrying around a laptop and a tablet – a way of having the perfect machine for the task your trying to complete without carrying around multiple devices. The problem is that to do that users need to plug in an external keyboard, rely on the device's touchscreen keyboard or purchase a Surface Pro 3 cover. The Surface Pro 3 covers cost a whopping $129.99 on top of the price of the Surface Pro 3 itself. That's despite Microsoft advertising the Surface Pro 3 and the cover as if they're included in the same box.
Users who are considering taking advantage of this would-be Surface Pro 3 price cut should definitely keep the extra cost of the Surface Pro 3 Cover in mind before buying the tablet. This Surface Pro 3 price cut comes just days after Microsoft revealed a new television ad and publicized a trade-in deal designed to lure MacBook Air buyers over to Surface Pro 3.
Read: Deal Gives MacBook Air Users Up to $650 to Switch to Surface Pro 3
The advertisement itself, broke down the benefits of having a Surface Pro 3 instead of a MacBook Air or really any traditional laptop. When note taking is a must users can use the Surface Pro 3's included pen to instantly open Microsoft's OneNote application. Its touchscreen also allows users to get a first class entertainment experience wherever they are.
The claims will sound familiar to anyone whose considered purchasing a Surface Pro in the past. The last two generations of Surface Pro devices have also included touchscreens, kickstands and pen input. The major difference here is that little design changes and touches make the Surface Pro 3 a better laptop and tablet hybrid. The two-step kickstand that limited the angle users could use the device at is gone. It's been replaced by a kickstand that can be freely adjusted. The new row of magnets also makes using the Surface Pro 3 and Pro Cover in a lap actually tolerable. Finally, the Surface Pro 3 is seriously thin and light – putting past Surface Pro devices to shame.
Read: Can the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Really Replace Your Laptop
Staples' website doesn't include an exact expiration date for the coupon so anyone planning on taking advantage of this deal will definitely want to move fast.

In the years to come, urban communities will face explosive growth, not only in population but also in geographical size and economic output. With cities already generating around 80% of the global gross domestic product, it becomes obvious that they will be the backbone for economic growth and prosperity in the future. Our goal is to help cities evolve, and to offer them strategies and tools to ensure that they will become social, cultural and economic hubs.
The Government of South Australia and the Adelaide City Council want the City of Adelaide to become the world's first carbon neutral city.
City Performance Tool
All over the world, cities are shaped by profound forces: their population, their technologies and their infrastructures. Even today, these forces collide and urbanization and climate change will spur dramatic changes in metropolitan areas. Cities need to pave the way for constant evolution: digital technologies are becoming increasingly important and urban infrastructures and buildings require a more efficient and sustainable setup.
These changing environments set free a swarm of urban challenges: Developed cities for instance need to focus on cutting carbon emissions, improving efficiency in infrastructure and buildings, stimulating a market shift towards cleaner vehicles and more efficient and environmentally friendly public transportation. At the same time, infrastructure quality in many advanced economies is deteriorating. Looking forward to 2030, more than $50 trillion will need to be invested in infrastructure globally to keep up with GDP and population growth.
Cities in emerging markets on the other hand face issues such as power outages and inadequate public transport and roads, which brake on growth and development. Infrastructures cannot be built fast enough to keep pace with economic and urban development. In times of constrained budgets city leaders carefully need to identify their infrastructure investments ensuring that their investments address their environmental and economic priorities. Technologies need to be adapted to serve local needs to ensure that the right technologies are applied in the right environments, tailored to the specific characteristics of the individual city.
To tackle these questions, Siemens has developed an interactive and comprehensive tool – the City Performance Tool (CyPT). It gives guidance to a city on how to achieve their environmental targets while providing an indication on how each infrastructure-related decision will influence job creation and the infrastructure sector growth.
The City Performance Tool
The City Performance Tool of Siemens shows a way forward by going beyond a simple carbon footprint. The inclusion of further pollutants (PM10 and NOx) and further sustainability dimensions (cost efficiency and job creation) goes definitely in the right direction.
Every city is different in its own way. Understanding this local context is essential for delivering the right infrastructure solutions. Technologies need to be tailored to the specific requirements of each city. The City Performance Tool considers over 400 data points and more than 70 different technologies, evaluating buildings, transport and energy technologies in a city.
Cities on the move
Siemens went on a global journey and visited cities of all shapes and sizes to show how different the right technologies for each and every city can be. Every event was different – follow our bloggers as they reported from our Cities on the Move tour from a variety of locations around the world – including London, Paris, Shenzhen and Washington.
City Performance Tool game
What would you do if you were the Mayor of your city? Play the City Performance Tool game and find out how technologies can make your city more livable and create more jobs. Are you happy with your results? Share your achievements via social media channels at the end of the game!

New NovaStor whitepaper discusses the use of multistreaming for cost reduction and shorter backup Windows
Agoura Hills / (CA) USA, 06/25/13 – The growth of business data as a result of virtualization and the latest applications requires ever increasing efficiency in backup technology. Multistreaming, a technology that until now was primarily reserved for the enterprise, works to reduce backup and restore windows and create optimal use of storage hardware. Data protection specialist NovaStor explains the concept and the benefits of multistreaming for backup and restore in their latest white paper for the SMB market.
Protecting Growing Amounts of Data on a Limited Budget
Multistreaming is a function available only in specific backup software products, and enables multiple data streams to be backed up in parallel, thereby streamlining the efficiency of system and storage resources. Often the maximum write speed of modern tape libraries can be fully utilized through the use of multistreaming. At the same time, the technique allows for the seamless scaling of data backup without having to invest in new storage hardware. Small businesses with restricted budgets often find the best opportunity to secure growing data loads without disruption, is through the implementation of multistreaming technology.
New White Paper illustrates Technology and Benefits
NovaStor's new white paper depicts in a vendor-independent manner the functionality of the latest backup technologies, including multistreaming. Beyond technical functionality the latest white paper details true customer benefits such as efficient Disk 2 Disk 2 Disk (D2D2D) – Disk 2 Disk to Tape (D2D2T) strategies, load reduction of the backup clients, reducing backup and restore windows and speeding up the availability of data.

Dear Mr. Gold:
I know it's slightly out of your territory, but my husband and I are heading to Napa for our first wedding anniversary and we're wondering if we should spend a million dollars and eat dinner at The French Laundry? We love food. We had an excellent meal at Cyrus a few years ago and could do that again. But as it is our first anniversary, should we blow it out? Is it worth it? Thank you!

Dear Kimi:
The French Laundry is sui generis, and I would never tell you not to go there. I have had my share of 20-course meals there, albeit mostly in the restaurant's earlier days, and a long evening of Thomas Keller's precise, detailed cooking is something you will probably never forget. (It could not be more different from the glossy bistro cooking at Bouchon, his Petit Trianon of a restaurant in Beverly Hills.) Remind me to tell you about Corby Kummer and the cheese course sometime.
Yet at this point, at least to me, the point of a meal there is not quite about pleasure -- Keller's is not sybaritic cooking, and you will probably find yourself thinking "oh, how interesting'' far more often than you will lose yourself in the glory of the food. Me -- I'd go to Terra. I always go to Terra. But you wouldn't be mistaken if you decided that The French Laundry was a restaurant more worthy of the splendid occasion.

Some Drivers Are Fuming Over Fuel Mileage Racing
By Jeff Hood | Senior Writer
Brooklyn, Mich. – The pain was etched on Greg Biffle's face Friday morning.
In June's Lifelock 400 at Michigan International Speedway, Biffle was a mere mile from victory in team owner Jack Roush's back yard.
Instead, his No. 16 Ford transformed from an 800 horsepower stock car into a soapbox derby racer when the fuel cell ran dry on the backstretch of the final lap, enabling former teammate Mark Martin to speed past for victory.
Just over two months after suffering one of the most painful losses in his career, Biffle will be looking for redemption and better fuel strategy when the green flag waves on Sunday's CARFAX 400 at the 2-mile oval.
"It was pretty tough," said Biffle, who had inherited the lead in June coming to the white flag when Jimmie Johnson's Chevrolet ran out of fuel. "It seems like a lot of people forgot about (fuel mileage) that day.
"Hopefully, (Sunday) won't come down to fuel mileage. And if it does come down to fuel mileage, our guys have been working really hard so that, if it does come down to fuel mileage again, we'll be able to beat them."
Exceptional fuel mileage carried Carl Edwards to wins at Texas and Homestead last fall. If that scenario plays out again on Sunday, Edwards believes his No. 99 Ford will be in a position to capitalize.
"I said after [the June race at Michigan] and I still feel that those races are really exciting for the drivers," Edwards said. "They're nerve wracking. It adds another variable to save fuel.
"I don't know if you're actually saving it or it just seems like you are. But I've been very fortunate to get really good fuel mileage in my Ford Fusion.
"I did think about (fuel mileage) this week and, because we do get such good fuel mileage, I need to stay on top of that and make sure that throughout the race I try to be aware of how I'm driving. I'll be focused on it because it does happen a lot."
Len Wood, co-owner of the Wood Brothers' No. 21 Ford, enjoys races that are determined by fuel mileage.
Wood thinks a run to the checkers on fumes on Sunday could benefit Wood's driver, Bill Elliott, a seven-time winner at Michigan.
"A fuel mileage race is one of my favorite things," said Wood, who calculates his team's fuel mileage. "Bill Elliott gets better gas mileage than most people, and it doesn't have anything to do with how your jets are set or anything like that. It's connected to their foot and how they drive. Just some drivers get better than others.
"A lot of it is driver, depending on how they roll out of the throttle or how quick they jump back into the gas. It's a lot to do with how they enter the corner."
Former NASCAR crew chief Jeff Hammond learned early during his days on the pit box that the fastest car doesn't always make it to victory lane.
"Anytime you come to a race track your first and foremost thought is that you want to have the fastest and best-handling race car on the race track where, hopefully, your driver can annihilate the competition," Hammond said.
"But from time to time it doesn't work that way and you have to be able to react to whatever circumstances are thrown at you."
Had Juan Pablo Montoya been in Biffle or Johnson's position at Michigan in June, he claims he'd have no bitterness over losing a race in that manner.
"It's a team sport," Montoya said. "It's not only how fast you car is, but how good the fuel mileage is, how good it handles, how good everything is. You know what I mean? Winning on fuel mileage is part of the show.
"I don't like it when the races go short because it really is not part of your plan. But if the race goes all the distance and somebody can make it and you can, it's good. And if you can't, you've got to work on it. And you've got to maybe give up a little horsepower and pace for the fuel mileage.
"It's always a balance."

A few notes on the recent AGELESS VOID European Tour…
First of all a HUGE FUCKING THANK YOU to our supporting bands DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS, DARKSHINE and ARUM. You are all great people;
we hope to meet one and all again in the future, and until then you are truly missed! No man shall be forgotten, so to Nuno our "chain e-cigarette smoking" Road Manager – thanks for all, you had nothing (and we really mean NOTHING) to work with, but still you kept the wheels turning!
You all know what you individually brought with you to this tour, so without going into details – we salute you – Cheers, Saude, Santé, Na Zdrowie, Skål For Helvete!!!
Furthermore we'd like to extend our humblest thanks to Tomasz (from Conquer Records) and his wife for their hospitality and for making us feel right at home.
We really needed that portion of great food to survive the last stages of the tour!
Another SPECIAL thanks to Destroyer from the forum for making sure that the Slovenian gig got a real professional film treatment. Not many would do what you have done for us, and we are eternally grateful, brother!
And of course, last but not least – all of you crazy ones who attended our shows. Thanks to all who took pictures of us, if you can/want to please email them to us so we can put them up on the site.
Without you lot we'd be nowhere!
All good things must come to an end, even though things have not been all that good. This tour was represented and booked by IMA as most people probably know by now. Unfortunately, and without smearing it on too thick many important things surrounding the tour have been way below standard. This "conflict of interest" is an issue between the bands (mainly Aeternus) and IMA, but the end result is that Aeternus has ended all affiliations with IMA due to the simple fact that we do no longer believe IMA can offer us the level of service we require.
This decision is a purely professional one, based upon a business point of view.
Of course we have our opinions about the whole ordeal, but we are keeping them to ourselves, and advise others to do the same – case closed!
We still have some merchandise from the tour, and we are planning to print more (different designs) in the future. To make this readily available to the public, we have opted to make a part of this site an online shop. We'll start working on this in the beginning of 2007, and post a bulletin as soon as we have things up and running, so keep your eyes open!!!
Dark Metal Cheers,
Added some pics from the gig at Arnhem Metal Meeting,check the gallery under the promopics.
Thanks to the guys from metal-experience.com for providing the pics.
Ok people,Aeternus has started the tour,take pictures,film the gig,write down setlists etc,and let us know what you think post your pics leave comments etc.on the official forum.
Thanks in advance .
After MASSIVE setbacks in the booking process of this tour, we have had to shorten it down by 4 shows, the tour now ending in the UK on December 13th. It's not really how we wanted it to be, but in the end it's better than to cancel the whole tour, or even postponing it… Next tour will hopefully be easier to book in. There has been some venues cancelling in the last minute (why… do we smell???, hehe), 1 venue has been closed down by the police, 1 venue lost ownership… A nightmare on the bookingend of the tour, but WE WILL PREVAIL!!!! See ya all on the road soon enough!
Stay tuned for more (and hopefully final) updates…
S. Winter
Some minor changes in touring schedule,and third support act announced .
Gallery updated with pictures from the gig at Tribute club,all pics taken by Mia Regine,including the all new promoshots.
Good news regarding the upcoming tour,Aeternus will play the well known Arnhem Metal Meeting .
Check the AMM website or Goudvishal website for details.
Ok People here it is.
Aeternus wants you ,the fans, to create the setlist for the upcomming tour.
What you must do is post a reply in the setlist topic on the Aeternus Forum with your 3 favourite Aeternus songs you would like them to play live.
The band will go through the entries and make a setlist out of the songs you voted for.
That's it actually,please don't post whole stories why you chose the songs,just the songs,this will make the choosing simpeler later on.
You can hit the forumlink in the top corner of the website or go directly to the setlist topic >> HERE <<
Thanks you,now go to it!!

on behalf of Aeternus
Good news people ,Aeternus have confirmed to play the Hole In The Sky Fest in Bergen Norway,check Concerts for details.
Check the downloads/media section for Hexaeon reviews.
Greetings all!
I am happy to announce that we have found an available drummer!
I have been in contact with him and we have plans to practice together already as soon as possible.
His status in Aeternus has not been set, but we hope to have him as a permanent member of the band.
As for now, he's more or less a session drummer or whatnot…
The future of Aeternus requires a drummer and I am pretty sure we have found the man for the job here.
His name is S. Winter and we hope to be more active in the future regarding live shows and so forth.
When we get things settled, we'll surely work towards gigs and so forth.
Stay tuned!
Downloads updated ,added the song Punished from the forthcoming release Hexaeon.
Contact updated,added MySpace adresses for Aeternus.
Statement 07.02.2006
Greetings to you all!
Erik, the drummer of Aeternus decided to quit the band a while after the Production of "HeXaeon" was completed. He was with Aeternus from the same year as I started the band which was 1993.
His reasons were honest and understandable as we all respect his ways and opinions regarding his musical path and so forth.
Erik said he simply had no more to give the style of extreme metal-music, he felt he had done enough and his passion and fire towards this type of metal style were no longer with him to the extent where it would give him something as a musician and a drummer to proceed.
Erik meant a lot to Aeternus' music and his drumming was always a part of what makes Aeternus what it is today.
I will personally always be glad and honored for the time he spent in Aeternus.
His skills and dedication were at 100% at all times. The way it should be.
He will be missed and remembered as one of the greatest musicians I have personally ever worked with.
I am glad to know that his drumming on ALL of Aeternus' released material will always be there, reminding me of a tremendously great musical Era, but first and foremost an Era that has given me SO much inspiration as a composer of extreme music.
Growing as a musician with him over a period of 13 years was something very, very special that I wouldn't trade for anything.
To Erik: We'll miss you brother, as a highly skilled and dedicated drummer.
The future of Aeternus is a bit on stand-by due to his departure, but Aeternus will continue and we are looking for a replacement.
This leads to the fact that gigs and whatnot are not really "around the corner" anywhere to put it that way. Replacing Erik will take time and preparing a new drummer can take time as well. Be patient.
We WILL get the wheels rolling again regarding live shows.
Hi there a word from your webmaster,I added a nice feature ,on the left of the website.
A who's online feature click the icon fill out your name and send it,this way we can all see how many people are visiting at one time,well that's it actually.
Ok people ,I just uploaded the new cd cover for Hexaeon, check releases for details.
Forum has now moved and has been unlocked ,so it ready for your abuse.
As mentioned before the Aeternus Forum will be relocated,Things are in the final stages now ,however the forum is now open for the public.
I will give you the links to the new forum and the old forum below.
Please join us at this new location.
A thank you goes out to Caelis and Grusom from Metal-Forum.com for offering to host the Official Aeternus Forum,thanks guys your work will be appreciated.
Now the links:
Good news we have a forum now check it out Here or visit it through the guestbook page.
I hope you will all join us at the forum and make your own contribution to make it a place worth visiting
regularly,thanks in advance and enjoy.
As of today a new webdesign wich is best viewed with a screen resolution of 1024×768, hope you like it.
Now a word from Ares:
"Hello Folks of the Metalized world!
HeXaeon has been delayed again due to waiting-line regarding mastering.
It has just been mastered and we're now looking into the mastering, checking it and so forth.
The release is therefore again set further ahead to February 2006.
It sux, but what can one do when a mastering studio is booked, it's booked…
one has to simply wait it out and wait ur turn.
As far as live shows, we have nothing planned so far.
Ok, that was all for now!"

Sprayer cleaner can make cleaning out your tank sprayer easy and effective, and will leave no product residue behind. Spray tank cleaner is specially designed to dissolve and deactivate the product in your sprayer, which will ensure that tank and parts are clean and free of any product residue before next use. A clean tank prevents cross-contamination and accidental mixing of products, and will prolong the life of your sprayer.
Sprayer cleaners, or commercial tank cleaners, are designed to work specifically in tanks sprayers, and will remove water and oil soluble products, meaning they can be used for a wide variety of products. They have the additional benefit of changing the pH of some products, making them ineffective. Often, people choose to use other cleaning solutions, such as chlorine or household ammonia, to clean out their tanks. However, these cleaning products may not be effective when used with certain products and are not designed specifically for this use. Additionally, chlorine should not be mixed with ammonia, which is present in some fertilizers.
Because you may not know if your tank is cleaned out properly, using a sprayer cleaner is an easy, effective way to clean out your sprayer safely and completely.
If you do not clean the sprayer after use, the product will dry and cling to the interior of your tank sprayer, boom, lines, etc., and will be taken up and mixed in to the new solution the next time you use your sprayer.
Many times, the product you are adding to your tank sprayer will have instructions on how to clean out the sprayer. Read and follow those instructions carefully to ensure you have cleaned your tank thoroughly of that particular product. If it does not have instructions, follow these basic steps:

Man shot by Scottsbluff officer is in hospital
Man shot by Scottsbluff officer is in hospital
SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. —
The Nebraska State Patrol says a 29-year-old man remains in a Scottsbluff hospital after being shot by a police officer during a standoff.
On Wednesday the patrol identified the man as Matthew Schwab, who's in stable condition at Regional West Medical Center.
Scottsbluff officers were sent around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday to check a report about an armed man in a street. Officers say the man retreated into a recreational vehicle that was parked nearby on the street. Other officers were called in, and a negotiator made contact with the man.
Police say the man came out of the camper around 10:30 p.m., armed with a handgun. Scottsbluff Police Chief Kevin Spencer says one of his officers shot the man twice when he wouldn't put down the weapon.
