Der Wachstumskurs der Skiinfo geht weiter :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier die offizielle Pressemitteilung:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_12uiq9-TAI/Tx1hiuzWETI/AAAAAAAAFZ0/PDIeHMAcUvo/s1600/Skiinfo-OntheSnow-Teaser.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_12uiq9-TAI/Tx1hiuzWETI/AAAAAAAAFZ0/PDIeHMAcUvo/s400/Skiinfo-OntheSnow-Teaser.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700819952627749170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OnTheSnow übernimmt Skiinfo –&lt;br /&gt;Weltweit größte Online-Plattform für Wintersport entsteht&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die weltweit meistbesuchte Wintersport-Webseite OnTheSnow.com expandiert. Sie erwirbt die norwegische Skiinfo AS und damit den Betreiber der in Europa führenden &lt;a href="http://www.skiinfo.de/"&gt;Ski- und Snowboard &lt;/a&gt;Plattform Skiinfo.com. OnTheSnow wird von der Mountain News Corporation (MNC), einer Tochtergesellschaft der Vail Resorts, betrieben. Mit dieser Übernahme entsteht ab Februar 2012 die größte globale Online-Plattform für Wintersport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onthesnow.com/"&gt;OnTheSnow&lt;/a&gt; erweitert mit der Übernahme von Skiinfo seine Reichweite. Die Mountain News Corporation setzt damit verstärkt auf den europäischen Markt und rechnet im Segment Ski Alpin mit Besucherzahlen von jährlich mehr als 23 Millionen weltweit. Die zusammengeführten Unternehmen bedienen in 14 Sprachen insgesamt 20 Länder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Als Internet-Portal für Schneeberichte, 1996 im norwegischen Oslo gegründet, wuchs die Skiinfo-Gruppe international und eröffnete Büros in Frankreich, Italien und Osteuropa. Durch die Übernahme der XNX GmbH mit Sitz in Münster im Jahr 2008, erweiterte sich das Portfolio um die Portale www.xc-ski.de und www.bergleben.de. Heute ist Skiinfo das europaweit größte Wintersport-Online-Netzwerk und zentrale Quelle für Schneeberichte, Skigebietsinformationen und redaktionelle Meldungen rund um den Wintersport. Allein im Jahr 2011 haben 11 Millionen User die Seiten besucht.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;„Wir freuen uns sehr darüber, mit MNC einen strategischen Investor gefunden zu haben, dessen Stärken und Ausrichtung sich hervorragend mit unseren Produkten ergänzen. Gemeinsam mit MNC sind wir nachhaltiger denn je aufgestellt, um in dem dynamischen Online- und Mediaumfeld unsere marktführenden Produkte und Plattformen weiter zu entwickeln und auszubauen“, so Jaron Schächter, Managing Director D/A/CH/BE/NL der Skiinfo und Geschäftsführer der XNX GmbH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;„Auch wenn wir uns auf zwei unterschiedlichen Kontinenten entwickelt haben, war OnTheSnow für uns immer ein sehr ernstzunehmender Mitbewerber und wir haben sehr genau geschaut, wie sich die Portale in Nordamerika entwickeln. Schon in den ersten Gesprächen haben wir gespürt, dass Mountain News und Skiinfo die Liebe zum Wintersport eint und dass wir über viele Jahre ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht haben. Die Übernahme durch Mountain News ist daher für uns ein fantastischer Schritt in einer seit 16 Jahren anhaltenden Wachstumsstory“, so Espen Schrøder, CEO von Skiinfo AS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;„Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit den neuen Kollegen und insbesondere über die Tatsache, dass wir mit www.bergleben.de ein starkes deutschsprachiges Sommerportal in unser Portfolio aufnehmen. Auch die zusätzlichen Reichweiten in Skandinavien und Benelux bieten für unsere österreichischen Kunden einen echten Mehrwert“, so Eduardo Santander, Managing Director der europäischen Niederlassung von Mountain News mit Sitz in Innsbruck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;„Die Übernahme erlaubt uns, die führenden Wintersport-Seiten Nordamerikas und Europas zu verbinden, um so die erste globale Wintersport-Plattform zu schaffen“, so Chad Dyer, Geschäftsführer der Mountain News Corporation. „Mit jährlich 23 Millionen Besuchern können wir unseren Anzeigenkunden weltweit die begehrte Zielgruppe der Skifahrer und Snowboarder anbieten. Die zusammengeführten Unternehmen werden außerdem in der Lage sein, den Schneefans umfassende Berichte aus den internationalen Wintersportgebieten zu liefern sowie für aussagekräftige Schneeberichte zu sorgen.“ Weiter sagt Dyer, Mountain News Corporation liefere nach der Übernahme mehr als 1.500 Webseiten und internationalen Medienunternehmen Schneeberichte.  Der Kauf der Skiinfo AS wird voraussichtlich zum 01. Februar 2012 rechtskräftig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Über Skiinfo AS/XNX GmbH&lt;br /&gt;Skiinfo AS mit Sitz in Oslo ist Betreiber von Europas größtem Online-Wintersportnetzwerk. Neben den Skiinfo Portalen, welche gleichermaßen Skisportler und Wintersporturlauber ansprechen, betreibt Skiinfo weitere Portale in den Segmenten Langlauf und Outdoor/Bergsport. Mit Tochtergesellschaften in Frankreich, Italien, Deutschland und Osteuropa kann Skiinfo internationale Kampagnenplanung aus einer Hand anbieten und erreicht mehr als 25% aller europäischen Skifahrer sowie insgesamt bis zu 15 Millionen Sportler und Urlauber. Im deutschsprachigen Raum und Benelux werden die Geschäfte der Skiinfo von der XNX GmbH geführt, einer 100%igen Tochtergesellschaft der Skiinfo AS und u.a. Betreiber von skiinfo.de, &lt;a href="http://winter.bergleben.at/"&gt;bergleben.at&lt;/a&gt;, bergleben.de und xc-ski.de.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Über die Mountain News Corporation&lt;br /&gt;Die Mountain News Corporation (MNC), eine Tochterfirma der Vail Resorts Inc. (NYSE: MTN), ist Betreiber der Internetplattform OnTheSnow.com und bietet zudem Ski Report Apps an. Darüber hinaus ist MNC einer der Top-Anbieter von Schneeberichten, die weltweit veröffentlicht werden. Neben Schneeberichten und Website-Inhalten publiziert OnTheSnow wöchentliche Newsletter und versendet diese per Mail an weltweit 300.000 Abonnenten. Weiterhin betreibt MNC das Internetportal MountainGetaway.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Über Vail Resorts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vailresorts.com/"&gt;Vail Resorts&lt;/a&gt; ist das führende Skigebiets-Unternehmen der USA, einschließlich seiner Tochterfirmen. Diese betreiben die vier Wintersportorte Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge und Keystone in Colorado, zwei Resorts am Lake Tahoe in Kalifornien und Nevada (Northstar und Heavenly) sowie die Grand Teton Lodge Company in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Ein weiteres Tochterunternehmen ist die Luxushotel-Kette RockResorts. Die Vail Resorts Development Company ist für Planung, Entwicklung und Bau von Immobilien zuständig.

Deshalb möchte ich es Euch nicht vorenthalten:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Für die Sauce (4 Portionen):&lt;br /&gt;- Olivenöl&lt;br /&gt;- Ingwer: ein Daumengroßes Stück in feine Scheiben geschnitten&lt;br /&gt;- Knoblauch: Eine Knolle, horizontal halbiert&lt;br /&gt;- Thymian: eine Handvoll&lt;br /&gt;- 2 Lorbeerblätter&lt;br /&gt;- Champignons: 200 Gramm, in Scheiben geschnitten&lt;br /&gt;- Zwiebel oder Schalotte: 1 - 2, fein gewürfekt&lt;br /&gt;- Barolo - oder ein anderer kräftiger Rotwein: 1 Flasche&lt;br /&gt;- Rinderfonds oder Kalbsfond: 400 ml&lt;br /&gt;- Maggi - Herzhafte Rinderbrühe (instant): 1 Esslöffel&lt;br /&gt;- Sahne: 100 ml&lt;br /&gt;- Butter: 50 Gramm oder Mondamin Soßenbinder - Dunkel&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/9392408/"&gt;Williams Sonoma: Beef Demi-Glace&lt;/a&gt; : Falls verfügbar. Es geht auch ohne, aber dieses geniale Produkt verleiht einen wirklich tollen Geschmack.&lt;br /&gt;- Pfeffer &amp;amp; Salz: Nach Bedarf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Für das Rinderfilet:&lt;br /&gt;Pro Person je 200 - 250 Gramm Rinderfilet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Sauce (oder Soße?) dauert mind. 3 Stunden, daher frühzeitig anfangen:&lt;br /&gt;Olivenöl in einem Saucentopf erhitzen&lt;br /&gt;Die beiden halben Knollen im heißen Olivenöl anbraten und dann aus der Knolle rausholen, die Schale wegschmeissen, den Knoblauch weiter anbraten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zwiebeln und Ingwer zugeben und weiter anbraten, dann die Pilze beifügen und den Thymian. Alles anbraten, bis die Pilze anfangen Wasser zu verlieren&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qHtWGJmgqlw/Tq1729p-77I/AAAAAAAAFZc/BAgw7_zD3M4/s1600/IMG_8536.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qHtWGJmgqlw/Tq1729p-77I/AAAAAAAAFZc/BAgw7_zD3M4/s200/IMG_8536.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669323690123128754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Lorbeer beifügen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mit dem Rinderfonds (oder Kalbsfonds) löschen und auf höchster Flamme kochen lassen bis das "Gemüse" nur noch ein bißchen bedeckt ist. Einen Esslöffel Maggi Rindergranulat beifügen und die Flasche Rotwein eingießen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein Wort zum Rotwein: Ich habe verschiedene Weine probiert. Am Besten ist tatsächlich Barolo, alternativ wird es auch mit Rioja gut. Auf gar keinen Fall sollte man am Wein sparen, man schmeckt es sofort, wenn hier ein billiger Wein verkocht wird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alles kochen lassen, bis der Wein ca. auf die Hälfte eingekocht ist. Dann alles durch ein Sieb in einen zweiten Topf abgießen. Unbedingt das "Gemüse" gut ausdrücken, da hier der beste Geschmack steckt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EhHY_jYEN6c/Tq14NYlkxGI/AAAAAAAAFYg/OgNPWFCE7C8/s1600/IMG_8540.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EhHY_jYEN6c/Tq14NYlkxGI/AAAAAAAAFYg/OgNPWFCE7C8/s320/IMG_8540.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669319677263004770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wieder auf hoher Flamme kochen lassen. Jetzt die Sahne unterrühren und falls vorhanden mit dem genialen Williams Sonoma Beef Demi Glace abschmecken. Alternativ kann man auch etwas mehr Maggi Rindergranulat für den echten Fleischgeschmack beifügen. Wer viel Zeit hat, kann auch schon zu Beginn der Arbeiten Rinderfett (beispielsweise wenn man ein ganzes Filet verarbeitet hat oder Entrecote nimmt) oder Markknochen auslassen, dies ist mir aber meistens zu aufwändig.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mit Pfeffer und Salz abschmecken und dann mit kalter Butter (oder Mondamin) die Soße eindicken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Rinderfilet:&lt;br /&gt;Ich mag es ja Medium Rare, daher beziehen sich auch die Zeitangaben dadrauf:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Rinderfilet schon frühzeitig aus dem Kühlschrank holen. Es sollte Zimmertemperatur haben, aber auch nicht zu lange draußen liegen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uZFNe41CCqs/Tq15406AtEI/AAAAAAAAFY4/PXv3IKtU67c/s1600/IMG_8555.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uZFNe41CCqs/Tq15406AtEI/AAAAAAAAFY4/PXv3IKtU67c/s320/IMG_8555.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669321523110917186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Das Filet mit flüssiger Butter bestreichen. Backofen auf 70 Grad Celsius vorheizen.&lt;br /&gt;Das Filet auf einen weißen Porzellanteller geben und dann ab in den Backofen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ca. 45 Minuten im Backofen lassen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MjYDflB3htg/Tq16ZMmfXPI/AAAAAAAAFZE/o3h3mLCrCyY/s1600/IMG_8561.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MjYDflB3htg/Tq16ZMmfXPI/AAAAAAAAFZE/o3h3mLCrCyY/s320/IMG_8561.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5669322079227305202" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Kurz vor Ablauf der Zeit eine Steakpfanne mit Öl und Butter erhitzen. In dem Moment wo die Butter anfängt zu rauchen, das Steak aus dem Backofen holen und je Seite noch 1 Minute bei hoher Hitze anbraten. Etwas Salz und Pfeffer und ab auf den (vorgewärmten) Teller.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dazu passen Serviettenknödel oder Kartoffelpüree.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2465304968101728295-4291008529701529789?l=blog.jaron-schaechter.de' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/feeds/4291008529701529789/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2465304968101728295&amp;postID=4291008529701529789' title='1 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/4291008529701529789'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/4291008529701529789'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/2011/10/rinderfilet-mit-barolosauce-barolosoe.html' title='Rinderfilet mit Barolosauce / Barolosoße'/><author><name>Jaron Schaechter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/images/jaron_head1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yCRtxR1ldhU/Tq146XOPJsI/AAAAAAAAFYs/VuKZL30Mmdc/s72-c/IMG_8563.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465304968101728295.post-5794066668551419530</id><published>2011-08-03T14:12:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2011-08-03T14:22:15.088+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Steakhouses'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Best Steaks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Travel'/><title type='text'>Best steakhouses in the world</title><content type='html'>In a post from August 2007 I both declared my passion for steak and gave my list for the best steaks. It is time to update this list with actual additions to the 10 out of 10 rank:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 out of 10:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Saltlik, Banff, Alberta, Canada - The New York Peppercorn is the &lt;a href="http://www.saltlik.com/"&gt;best steak in the world&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Karstadt,  Muenster, NRW, Germany - Actually a shopping mall, you can have steak  inside the supermarket area. Serves the best steak in Germany. Decent  price, cooked to your liking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hideaway Steakhouse, Westminster/Denver, Colorado, USA - been there twice and their rib-eye (both the bone-in and the boneless) are a perfect 10. Consider the mushroom reduction as a sauce. I was also impressed with the price value!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fire &amp;amp; Water @ Marriott, Victoria, BC, Canada - Very good steak, unfortunately the ambiance is a bit too "standardised hotel restaurant" for my taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9 out of 10:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wolfgangs Steakhouse, New York, NY, USA - &lt;a href="http://www.wolfgangssteakhouse.com/"&gt;Great steak&lt;/a&gt;, good service. Ex-Peter Luger Personell.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Al Capone's Hideaway &amp;amp; Steakhouse, St.Charles, IL, USA - Authentic Atmosphere, good for groups, &lt;a href="http://www.al-capone.com/steakhouse/index.html"&gt;amazing T-Bone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bella Napoli, Stuttgart, Germany - Nice italian restaurant. The barolo sauce on the filet of beef is unbeatable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trattoria Salvatore, Münster, Germany - Consistently the best fine-dining italian in Münster. But also consistently the filet is prepared to perfection and with an amazing barolo sauce. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alan Wong, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - not really a steak place, but rather fine dining. But when we were there they had a steak tasting menu that was excellent and - oh what an irony - we had the best German Riesling ever on Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Unfortunately while adding to the list above (which is a good thing) I also have to tell you to stay away from a place Yelp`s users consider to be among "the best meatplaces in San Francisco": House of Prime Rib on Nob Hill is awful. It is neither great meat, nor great service or atmosphere.

Diese sollten in etwa auch den beliebtesten Skigebieten der Deutschen entsprechen. Nachdem Searchmetrics zusammen mit BestFewo einen Suchmaschinenindex für Ferienwohnungen herausgegeben haben - heraus kam, dass die Regionen am Meer am beliebtesten sind - haben wir uns intern zusammen gesetzt und über unsere Traffic-Analyse (Skiinfo Global - Nutzungsvergalten deutscher User) und verschiedene Keyword-Tools eine Rangfolge der zwanzig wichtigsten Skigebiete aus Traffic/User-Sicht von Skifahrern aus Deutschland erstellt. Sind dies die besten Skigebiete der Alpen? Die besten Skigebiete im deutschsprachigen Raum? Oder profitieren einige Bergbahnen einfach von ihrer Örtlichkeit (bspw. Skigebiete in der Nähe von München)? Egal - lt. unserer Analyse sind dies die beliebtesten Skigebiete der Deutschen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

Komplettlösung Business Office Pro 2009 war es für uns Zeit eine Aktualisierung zu prüfen. Da die neue Version Financial Office Premium 2011 in einer Aktion zu sehr guten Konditionen (einmalige Gebühr 0 € statt 899 €) zu bekommen war, haben wir zugeschlagen. Hauptgrund weiter bei Lexware zu bleiben, war aber die irrige Annahme, dass die Datenübernahme/Update problemlos laufen würde.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schon beim Start der Datensicherung von LX Pro 2009 ging es los: Bei der Datensicherung stürtzte Framework.exe ab... im Anschluß ging nichts mehr. Lexware ließ sich nicht mehr starten, weil die Datenbank nicht mehr da war. Der Dienst am Server war beendet und ließ sich nicht mehr starten (Der Dienst Adaptive Anywhere... LX... wurde gestartet und dann wieder angehalten). Also musste ich erstmal nach Wegen suchen den DB-Server wieder ans Laufen bekommen.. leicht wenn man die Tricks kennt:&lt;br /&gt;- Start - Lexware - Datenbankstartart ändern&lt;br /&gt;- Datenbankstartart ändern auf "Eintrag im Startmenü"&lt;br /&gt;- Mit dem erzeugten Eintrag im Startmenü lässt sich jetzt die blockierte Datenbank wieder starten (danach kann man die Startart auch wieder problemlos auf "Dienst" umstellen).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also die Datensicherung nochmal durchgeführt (von einem anderen Client!) - diesmal alles OK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kopie der Datensicherung erstellt (!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lexware Premium 2011 installiert - die Installation lief problemlos durch, inkl. der Nachfrage ob der Daten übernehmen soll (habe ich bejaht).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beim ersten Start sah es direkt danach aus, als wäre alles perfekt. Meine drei Firmen waren da, das Supervisor-Passwort war richtig hinterlegt etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beim Start meiner Hauptfirma dann die Meldung: Die Datenbank muss aktualisiert werden, führen sie zu erst eine Sicherung aus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alle Schritte zur Sicherung durchgeführt. Kein Problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Datenbankaktualisierung gestartet (auf einem Windows 7 / 64 bit Client)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6t32sHysOCc/TSigA-7xxqI/AAAAAAAAEwE/sIJl3F7xX0w/s1600/Lexware2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 205px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559869678743045794" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6t32sHysOCc/TSigA-7xxqI/AAAAAAAAEwE/sIJl3F7xX0w/s320/Lexware2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zu erst sah alles gut aus, bis dann irgendwann kurz vor Ende mal wieder die "Framework.exe" abgestürzt ist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich hab mir nix dabei gedacht und unverdrossen Lexware wieder gestartet. Hmm, da waren doch vorher 3 Firmen, statt 2 ... na gut, die eigentliche Hauptfirma (wir haben eine Testfirma, eine produktive Firma und die Lexware-Standard-Firma) war ja noch da. Also wieder versucht ins Programm zu kommen... wieder die Meldung "Datenbank muss aktualisiert werden"... wieder gestartet, wieder Absturz Framework.exe beim "bearbeiten des Firmenübergreifenden Bereichs"... das Ganze nochmal... auf einmal stand ich ohne Firma da.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Datenbanktools gestartet, auf Rücksicherung durchführen geklickt... kommt doch glatt die Meldung: Es wurde keine Firma gefunden, bitte führen Sie eine Rücksicherung durch. Um die Rücksicherung aber durchzuführen... braucht man mind. eine Firma.&lt;br /&gt;Ungefähr so wie bei der Telekom: Informationen über aktuelle Internetstörungen finden Sie im Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Argh... irgendwie musste ich den Teufelskreis durchbrechen und Lexware wieder zu einer Firma bringen. Also eine manuelle "Rücksicherung" aus der letzten Version (nach Update) durchgeführt:&lt;br /&gt;DB-Server stoppen&lt;br /&gt;Alle Dateien aus der Sicherungszip in den Datenbankordner kopieren... jeweils überschreiben!&lt;br /&gt;DB-Server neustarten&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firmen wieder da.&lt;br /&gt;Statt auf die "Datenaktualisierungs-Falle" einzugehen, gleich auf "Datenrücksicherung durchführen" gegangen und diesmal die vorletzte Version gewählt (die Datensicherung aus Pro 2009)... Datenbank aktualisierung durchgeführt... alles läuft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 Stunden für ein Update, dass in einer hätte erledigt werden sollen.

Die neuen mobilen Services und Social Media können unser Leben leichter machen... nie mehr ohne Google Maps in einer fremden Stadt, schon im Vorfeld wissen wie mein Hotel aussieht, mit Nokia OVI navigieren, während der Messe unser CRM aufrufen und natürlich direkt den Klatsch und Tratsch an meine Freunde weitergeben... frei nach dem Motto: "Dass muss ich XX erzählen".

With the new Ski2b.com live (after a very impressive teamwork from our tech and editorial departments) and the new Skiinfo.de launching in a couple of weeks I finally found the spare time and motivation to post again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new look &amp;amp; feel will be applied to all of our 2b-portals in the next months and you can expect some further structural changes. E.g. all snow reporting will happen on Skiinfo side in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also both sides are growing together nicely without some of the frills I have seen in other "mergers that actually are a takeover" ;-) No really, a cultural fit should be your main concern when integrating two companies as it will make things so much easier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will post again in a couple of days with an update on Wakeboarding.

As they usually have travel packages that are targeted at VIP customers for selected Bundesliga Games, their website was in the middle of season break = hibernation = no traffic at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then they got word that they could offer tickets.

In the meantime we have made quite some progress. Accounting, controlling and setting up new processes takes a big chunk of my daily work. But we definitely see a lot of progress... a major piece of work - in fact one that we had been working on since February 2007 has now been closed and I am very proud and honoured to post the official press release. On Sunday I am off to vacation in Israel - 30°C and sun is the forecast... with zero skidays this winter I am all ready for the summer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skiinfo AS acquires XNX GmbH&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skiinfo.com, the leading network of Snow Resort information in Europe with Headquarters in Oslo (Norway) is taking over XNX GmbH. It was agreed that the purchase price for Germany-based XNX and the related Sports2b network is not to be disclosed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The decision was made based on a successful collaboration in the past, complementary product portfolios and markets. Skiinfo is the leading provider of &lt;a href="http://www.skiinfo.com/"&gt;Ski Resort &lt;/a&gt;data and up-to-date snow- and weather information in Italy, Scandinavia and France. More than 1000 ski resorts in Europe are being updated on a daily basis. The takeover will provide Skiinfo with a strong presence in Germany and Austria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1997 XNX has built up its own &lt;a href="http://www.sports2b.com/"&gt;Sports2b-Network &lt;/a&gt;and has extensive experience in the Online-Wintersport market. Taking over the maintenance of skiinfo.de and .nl is a logical step for the editorial department of XNX, while Skiinfo closes a gap on the map. Another advantage is XNX’s PR Distribution, which is being used by well-known Tourism Associations of the Alps. It will provide additional content to Skiinfo’s users, ranging from exclusive news to the latest event information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XNX will have a seat on the board of directors of Skiinfo AS. All former XNX-shareholders are now shareholders of Skiinfo AS and will remain on board, being strongly committed to the future growth of the new company. The current product portfolio of XNX will be continued with the same employees and new features and extensions are already under development. The product portfolios of both companies will be integrated step by step to further improve the service towards skiresorts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Martin Fiala (Managing Director, XNX GmbH)&lt;/strong&gt;: In my perspective Skiinfo is the only true European Wintersport network with strong roots in all major markets. We are looking forward to the future, having found the perfect partner for further growth. Together we will be able to provide European Products and Services to our customers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jaron Schächter (Managing Director, XNX GmbH):&lt;/strong&gt; For XNX the integration with Skiinfo is an exciting step, taking us from the local market to an international level. It will allow us to further streamline our product portfolio and position us clearly. Main target is to extend the reach of Skiinfo in German and other languages. With “Skier’s Lounge” we are running the only &lt;a href="http://de.skiinfo.com/Skiers-Lounge-8351-de.jhtml"&gt;social network around skiing&lt;/a&gt; that can offer a European touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Espen Schrøder (CEO, Skiinfo AS):&lt;/strong&gt; Since starting the cooperation with XNX, we were enthusiastic about the professional team, and their network of partner websites. Our business models are highly complementary, and since the German-speaking area is the most important market in Europe, we are really excited about this merger. Together with the products of XNX we are looking forward to a strong future growth and a market leading position as the number one European provider of ski related information.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Skiinfo:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skiinfo is the leading European online platform about skiing. Snow- and weather reports are daily updated and delivered in various languages. Information about slopes, parks and related services make it a complete portal. Key factor is the high quality and depth of data that made Skiinfo a well-established provider of content to more than 100 partners including Newspapers, TV Stations and Online-Portals. Founded in Oslo in 1996 Skiinfo has now local presence with offices in Annecy/France, Torino/Italy and employees in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Denmark and the UK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its website is &lt;a href="http://www.skiinfo.com/"&gt;www.skiinfo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About XNX:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XNX GmbH powers a network of sport portals.

I have spoken at SES. First of all, I`d like to say that I truely enjoyed it and that I believe that &lt;a href="http://www.mikegrehan.com/"&gt;Mike Grehan &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/showPage.html?page=3626236"&gt;Kevin Ryan &lt;/a&gt;(and all the others that are not in the spotlight) did a terrific job organising &lt;a href="http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/london"&gt;SES London&lt;/a&gt;. It was a great experience and I went home invigorated and with a list of action items for &lt;a href="http://www.xnx.de/"&gt;XNX&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my session about European Search Engine Marketing, I provided my (purely subjective and based on gut-feeling) view on Search Engine Maturity in different markets:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•USA (SEO 2008) – Universal, Blended Search, Local&lt;br /&gt;•UK / Germany / Netherlands (SEO 2007) – Leading in Europe&lt;br /&gt;•Scandinavia (SEO 2005) – Skilled users, SEs are still working on local language&lt;br /&gt;•Eastern Europe (SEO 1999) – Strong competition and expansion, grey hat still works&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this has been an item I did get quite some feedback on... with people asking me about my opinions on Spain, France and South America. I must admit that I cannot comment on these as I have no experience whatsoever. However I would like to provide a couple of bullet-points on why I believe in the view above based on a few examples:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UK / Germany / Netherlands: In terms of &lt;a href="http://searchengineland.com/070516-143312.php"&gt;Universal and blended Search&lt;/a&gt;, I see the things starting to materialise now that Mike warned us about in May 2007. Also Google gets better at understanding stemming in these languages and it is a longer process to get a very competitive positioning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scandinavia: In Norway we do see that small, basic measures (e.g. URL rewrite) can still have an enourmous effect within days. In Finland I see that Google is not necessarily the market leader for the long tail (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw8unvT6wkg"&gt;watch this video to understand what long tail means in a language as complex as Finish&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eastern Europe: Now this is an interesting one. I have two reasons for my assessment. In Poland I have seen sites applying a massive amount of grey hat or black hat tactics... with a lot of success. Subjectively I`d say, that they don`t get banned as easily / fast as they would in Germany or the US. That is probably due to the competition from local players (that do a better job at understanding the local language) such as Netsprint and Onet. In Czech Republic seznam.cz is still the market leader with just over 70% market share. And their spidering process looks 1999 to me: They still have huge problems with dynamic pages... especially if you have parameter based URLs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be interested in hearing varying opinions on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a last word from &lt;a href="http://www.it-webhost.de/2ndchaos/redcut/"&gt;Thomas&lt;/a&gt; and myself: &lt;a href="http://www.targeting.com/"&gt;Jim&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for the great dinner!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2465304968101728295-6163634944337532660?l=blog.jaron-schaechter.de' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/feeds/6163634944337532660/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2465304968101728295&amp;postID=6163634944337532660' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/6163634944337532660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/6163634944337532660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/2008/02/european-search-engine-maturity.html' title='European Search Engine Maturity'/><author><name>Jaron Schaechter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/images/jaron_head1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465304968101728295.post-581704501718399504</id><published>2008-01-27T18:43:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-01-27T18:44:51.314+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PHP'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='XnX'/><title type='text'>PHP Developers needed!!</title><content type='html'>HELP&lt;br /&gt;I need a German LAMP Developer with good understanding for complex systems, some knowledge of architecture / server administration and good people skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know anyone please push him in my direction :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2465304968101728295-581704501718399504?l=blog.jaron-schaechter.de' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/feeds/581704501718399504/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2465304968101728295&amp;postID=581704501718399504' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/581704501718399504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/581704501718399504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/2008/01/php-developers-needed.html' title='PHP Developers needed!!'/><author><name>Jaron Schaechter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/images/jaron_head1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465304968101728295.post-5704262028361205489</id><published>2008-01-14T19:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-02-25T22:37:25.009+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='XnX'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='London'/><title type='text'>What a start</title><content type='html'>2008 - as said previously it is an exciting start into a new challenge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XnX is a small company that has an amazing product portfolio - specifically related to its size.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First there is the XnX Sports2b Network of very strong portals:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ski2b.com/"&gt;Ski Alpin and World cup: Ski2b.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xc-ski.com/"&gt;Cross Country Skiing: XC-Ski.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.biathlon2b.com/"&gt;Biathlon: biathlon2b.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bike2b.de/"&gt;Bike: Bike2b.de&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mountains2b.com/"&gt;Outdoor: Mountains2b.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tri2b.com/"&gt;Triathlon: Tri2b.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then there are the portals that are supported by us on behalf of partners that we cooperate with. The biggest current project is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.skiinfo.de/"&gt;Schneehöhen / Snow reporting&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.skiinfo.de/"&gt;http://www.skiinfo.de/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The winter keeps us busy with the usual suspects troubling us (adservers needing performance upgrades, ...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a very different environment from the big corporations. First of all: when ever you ask someone at XnX how long it takes or what the effort is, you hear "10 minutes". And you get a lot of things done immediately. At the same time every project manager knows that it is the little tasks that always get underestimated and in the end block delivery of the bigger workpackages. Some work to be done on that front ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other end there is the management of the business which has to do with meeting customers and representing the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very happy to be invited to speak at &lt;a href="http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/london/"&gt;SES London&lt;/a&gt;. It is my first SES and I am going to speak on two panels:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Big Site, Big Search: All about how to tackle those sites with thousands or even millions of pages. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;European SEO: All about diversity and I am sure I ll be able to use some of the lessons I have learned from my friend &lt;a href="http://www.janbrasna.com/"&gt;Jan Brasna &lt;/a&gt;on the workings of the emerging markets (believe it or not, there is SE`s other then Google out there!)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Let`s say I am not bored :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2465304968101728295-5704262028361205489?l=blog.jaron-schaechter.de' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/feeds/5704262028361205489/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2465304968101728295&amp;postID=5704262028361205489' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/5704262028361205489'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/5704262028361205489'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/2008/01/what-start.html' title='What a start'/><author><name>Jaron Schaechter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/images/jaron_head1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465304968101728295.post-3852021724335424208</id><published>2007-12-29T20:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T20:27:34.641+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='XnX'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2008'/><title type='text'>Happy New Year</title><content type='html'>I wish all of you a great start into 2008.

It will feel VERY small, but there will be major changes early 2008 that will probably grow us into 40 people running portals in 8 different countries. Let's see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ll keep you posted.

I ve been in this city for 9 months now, but have seen not enough. Work has been a lot, but great... but it keeps you from going out at night. Besides the infamous Leidseplein - where you can have a &lt;a href="http://www.gauchos.nl/"&gt;good steak&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://www.benjerry.com/"&gt;best ice cream in the world&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z38TwKQ1IpE"&gt;watch kids doing strange things&lt;/a&gt; - I have not seen too much of Amsterdam downtown. Fortunately one of our colleagues decided to change this and took us on a boat trip in a small float. Equipped with Beer, Pizza and good music, we toured the canals of the inner city. One highlight of course being the &lt;a href="http://www.amsterdam.info/red-light-district/"&gt;redlight district&lt;/a&gt;. It's cozy to stop under a bridge when it starts raining and great to see the lovely homes that have taken hold of some older industrial areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amsterdam is a cool place to be and the atmosphere is amazing. If you haven't been, you should change this asap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/uploaded_images/Amsterdam_Boattrip-799957.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/uploaded_images/Amsterdam_Boattrip-799950.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The picture above is courtesy of &lt;a href="http://www.simongreenman.com/"&gt;Simon Greenman&lt;/a&gt; who has also posted additional pictures in his blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW: I just mentioned the word "Steak" - which brings me to my favourite food. Even though I eat a lot of Steak, I am always tracking quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 out of 10:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Saltlik, Banff, Alberta, Canada - The New York Peppercorn is the &lt;a href="http://www.saltlik.com/"&gt;best steak in the world&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Karstadt, Muenster, NRW, Germany - Actually a shopping mall, you can have steak inside the supermarket area. Serves the best steak in Germany. Decent price, cooked to your liking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9 out of 10:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wolfgangs Steakhouse, New York, NY, USA - &lt;a href="http://www.wolfgangssteakhouse.com/"&gt;Great steak&lt;/a&gt;, good service. Ex-Peter Luger Personell.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Al Capone's Hideaway &amp;amp; Steakhouse, St.Charles, IL, USA - Authentic Atmosphere, good for groups, &lt;a href="http://www.al-capone.com/steakhouse/index.html"&gt;amazing T-Bone&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bella Napoli, Stuttgart, Germany - Nice italian restaurant. The barolo sauce on the filet of beef is unbeatable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is plenty on 8 out of 10 with the Gauchos Leidseplein, Amsterdam being very close to 9 out of 10. Yummie. Now off to a prime rib at the &lt;a href="http://www.qcenter.com/"&gt;QCenter&lt;/a&gt; :-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2465304968101728295-6301768018374612997?l=blog.jaron-schaechter.de' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/feeds/6301768018374612997/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2465304968101728295&amp;postID=6301768018374612997' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/6301768018374612997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/6301768018374612997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/2007/08/boat-trip-in-amsterdam.html' title='Boat Trip in Amsterdam'/><author><name>Jaron Schaechter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/images/jaron_head1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465304968101728295.post-6534990308906733413</id><published>2007-08-01T10:31:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2007-08-01T12:12:32.038+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Austria'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wedding'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Australia'/><title type='text'>Austr(al)ian Wedding - Congratulations Gabrielle &amp; Georg!</title><content type='html'>Sanne and I just spend a wonderful weekend in Steria (Steiermark) in Austria.

The name itself is associated with "Sex, Drugs and Rock" - well, the &lt;a href="http://www.hardrock.com/locations/cafes3/cafes.aspx?LocationID=51&amp;MenuID=15&amp;amp;MIBEnumID=3"&gt;Hard Rock Amsterdam&lt;/a&gt; really is great. Now if you are in Amsterdam for business you will realise soon that the city has much more to offer than just platitudes.  Ijselmeer and the coast are very close, good infrastructure and good food - at least if you like Frites Speciaal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I convinced colleagues to make use of the ability to do watersports... wakeboarding of course being my top priority in that respect. With some research I found this excellent, cozy place called &lt;a href="http://www.wakeboardschoolamsterdam.nl/"&gt;WakeboardSchool Amsterdam&lt;/a&gt;. They are right outside Amsterdam, just 15 minutes via Tram 26 from Amsterdam Centraal. In a nice surrounding they have a patio that is perfect for having a barbecue and a trampoline so you can train your new moves "offline".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/uploaded_images/DSCF0106-724745.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/uploaded_images/DSCF0106-724741.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of this they operate really nice wakeboardingboats from &lt;a href="http://www.correctcraft.com/"&gt;Correct Craft&lt;/a&gt; and have excellent drivers/teachers. We went there with a couple of colleagues and those that tried wakeboarding where up and riding in no time. Excellent! It really is a nice thing to do for a team event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information you can either go to &lt;a href="http://www.wakeboardschoolamsterdam.nl/"&gt;their website&lt;/a&gt; or check out this map (the Sportboat Center is located right next door):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- begin telefoongids connectionkit --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://static.detelefoongids.nl/toolbox/DTG_300.html?css=default&amp;c=1_0_0_0_0&amp;amp;id=16135555&amp;seq_no=&amp;amp;amp;partnerID=2662007123219&amp;amp;title=Sport%20Boat%20Amsterdam" frameborder="0" width="300" scrolling="no" height="104"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.detelefoongids.nl/" target="_blank"&gt;De Telefoongids, Bedrijvengids, telefoonnummer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- end telefoongids connectionkit --&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2465304968101728295-7738945109512230948?l=blog.jaron-schaechter.de' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/feeds/7738945109512230948/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2465304968101728295&amp;postID=7738945109512230948' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/7738945109512230948'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2465304968101728295/posts/default/7738945109512230948'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.jaron-schaechter.de/2007/07/things-to-do-in-amsterdam.html' title='Things to do in Amsterdam'/><author><name>Jaron Schaechter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01235280712765386333</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://www.jaron-schaechter.de/images/jaron_head1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
