The hosts were Eve Scheer and Dieter Landenberger. Eve Scheer is an actress and professional host with experience in racing. She drove in the Alfa-147-Cup series in 2004, as well as at the 24-Hours of Nürburgring and some other series like the Mini Challenge. She also pilots a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup in the Porsche Sports Cup with Steffi Halm. Dieter Landenberger is the Head of the Historical Archive at Porsche with a vast knowledge of Porsche history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I couldn&#39;t find that much of official material to share with you, but fortunately YouTube user &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/user/67xp20100/videos&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vinz Z&lt;/a&gt; has uploaded about a dozen videos himself. For example the sound of the Porsche 935/78 &quot;Moby Dick&quot; 1978:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
Porsche Motorsport history has become a permanent feature in the Porsche Museum&#39;s calendar of events: for the third time, guests of the &quot;Sound Night&quot; were able to listen to the sounds of Porsche racing vehicle engines live in the Porsche Museum. Racing drivers, engineers and mechanics were guests of this event and shared their expert knowledge and stories behind several treasured racing vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;

Here are 30 different shot receipts - drink one different each night and you&#39;ll have a great story to tell on new years eve.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This would also make a good start for a &quot;drink around the world&quot; drinking game. There are some of the greatest shots ever along with some of the most classic drink shots ever. Shots like the Kamikaze, the B-52 and the Orgasm are standards in nearly every bar I ever went to in Germany and may be the reason for some really great party nights. And some really bad hangovers, too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway it&#39;s a fun list and drinking inspiration nonetheless. So grab some friends or family, mix your shots and have fun on any christmas party along the way to your new years eve party.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Please leave me a comment if you succeed drinking them all!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

They plan to show us a new episode every month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As they say:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&quot;...videos to give you insight into the minds of watch collectors you might not come across in your daily life. Guys like John Mayer.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Benjamin Clymer sits down with John and talks about his affection with watches and how he became such a watch lover.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly a year after the initial launch the wanted Edition will be available from October 15th 2013 at Selfridges, The Whisky Shop and The Whisky Exchange at an RRP of £150 (~179€). There is only a limited number of bottles available, so get you hands on a bottle while stocks last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can also pre-order bottles online to pick-up at a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heinemann-dutyfree.com/frankfurt_de/jack-daniel-s/jack-daniels-jack-daniel-s-sinatra-select-1l.html&quot;&gt;Heinemann Duty Free Shop&lt;/a&gt; if you are flying via Frankfurt (FRA), Wien (Vienna, VIE) or Berlin-Schönefeld (SXF) for 139€ per bottle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Jack Daniel&#39;s Sinatra Select&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frank Sinatra was well known as a big supporter of Jack Daniel&#39;s and often referred to it as &quot;nectar of gods&quot; during his 40+ year career. He used to giveout a toast on each of his concerts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Tennessee whiskey maker pays tribute to this one legacy drinker with a special edition 90-proof bottle. The one-liter bottle includes a specially designed gift box featuring a booklet about the shared history of Jack Daniel’s and Frank Sinatra and a distinct &quot;hat&quot; logo. &lt;br /&gt;

 Josh Kaufman specializes in teaching people from all walks of life how to master
 practical knowledge and skills. In his 20-minute TEDx Talk, he shares how having his 
first child inspired him to approach learning in a whole new way. He also reveals the four steps to learning any new skill, fast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He wrote a new book about this topic called &lt;a data-amazonasin=&quot;1591845556&quot; data-amazontag=&quot;lifehackeramzn-20&quot; href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/The-First-20-Hours-Anything/dp/1591845556/ref=sr_1_1?tag=lifehackeramzn-20&amp;amp;ascsubtag=[type%7Clink[postId%7C509281792[asin%7C1591845556&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The First 20 Hours&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/5MgBikgcWnY&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s a breakdown of his four steps (as found via &lt;a href=&quot;http://lifehacker.com/learn-anything-in-20-hours-with-this-four-step-method-509281792&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Lifehacker&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deconstruct the skill:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.6;&quot;&gt;
 It starts with breaking down the task in several parts and find the most important things to practice 
first. If you were learning to play a musical instrument, for example, 
knowing just a few chords gives you access to tons of songs. If you want
 to &lt;/span&gt;learn a new language&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.6;&quot;&gt;, learn the most common 2,000 words and you&#39;ll have 80% text coverage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-textannotation-id=&quot;a6b4bdf4b76ec506e20ec39619f41864&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.6;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lern enough to self-correct: &lt;/strong&gt;Use reference materials to learn enough that you know when you make a mistake so you can correct yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-textannotation-id=&quot;8e15f34bcc8d201ea11a7a89ddaab1da&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.6;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remove barriers to learning: &lt;/strong&gt;Identify and remove anything that distracts you from focusing on the skill you want to learn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-textannotation-id=&quot;00bc5a70a76eb51ef34a986af3e12d47&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 1.6;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Practice at least 20 hours.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It is heavily inspired by the iconic 1973 Tudor &quot;Montecarlo&quot; (Ref. 7169) and cites many details of its predecessor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MkpRJNPTFs8/UZMnMLGlEwI/AAAAAAAAAj8/-11KyUZWyq4/s1600/tudor-heritage-chrono-blue.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;492&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MkpRJNPTFs8/UZMnMLGlEwI/AAAAAAAAAj8/-11KyUZWyq4/s640/tudor-heritage-chrono-blue.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue with Nylon strap and steel bracelet - (c) Tudor&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like both versions with steel bracelet or with a nylon strap in blue, grey and orange - colors that match the watchface and give a hint of mediterranean flair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nonetheless it isn&#39;t just another version of&amp;nbsp; the Heritage line introduce by Tudor in 2010 (which is very successful so far). This is a completely new watch by itself. It differs from the other Heritage models especially in the hour markers filled with SuperLuminova, the form of the hands and the bi-directional bezel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue - SuperLuminova - (c) Tudor&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dial sports two counters 3 and 9 o’clock for the small seconds hand and for a
45-minute counter.&lt;br /&gt;
The sapphire crystal keeps a self-winding mechanical 
ETA2892 movement with a Dubois-Dépraz-module and 42-hour power reserve. The bezel has a blue aluminium finish, while crown
 and pushers are knurled with a chrome finish. Additionally the crown features a blue lacquered shield.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;(c) Tudor&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It comes with a retail price of 4&#39;200 CHF / 3.480 EUR / 4,350 USD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This comes in perfect timing with the return of Tudor to the US market in September 2013. It should be available in
 both select Rolex boutiques as well as third-party watch retailers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
Technical specifications:&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Reference: 70330B&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Movement: ETA 2892 automatic movement with Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module, 55 jewels, 28,800 beats/hour &lt;/li&gt;

&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;You probably don&#39;t know my name, but I bet you know at least one of my songs.&lt;/blockquote&gt;It is Nile Rodgers, the man behind Chic and many other great productions, who introduces himself in the BBC documentary &quot;The Hitmaker&quot;. And from there it just goes off. Watch the fascinating story of his life, hilarious background stories of some of the best selling records of all time and the tragedy of the last concert with his legendary partner Bernard Edwards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nile was the guitar player of Bernard and Bernard was the bass player of Nile. And both together changed the world of music a few times over the course of about 20 years. Bernard Edwards died on April 18th 1996 in Tokyo after a fabulous comeback concert with Chic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This year Nile Rodgers was named JT Superproducer of the Year in Japan&amp;nbsp;  and was invited to perform at The &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nippon_Budokan&quot; title=&quot;Nippon Budokan&quot;&gt;Budokan&lt;/a&gt;. Just  before the concert in Tokyo, Edwards fell ill and was advised to not polay the concert and go to a hospital immediately. But despite Rodgers&#39; insistence, he  refused to cancel the gig. He managed to perform a great gig, but had to be helped at  times.&lt;br /&gt;
After the concert he retired to his hotel room where he was  later found dead by Rodgers. Bernard died of pneomonia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;You can watch the full documentary here:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ZQz4mIjykN8&quot;&gt;http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ZQz4mIjykN8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a kind of follow-up post to &lt;a href=&quot;http://motzenblog.blogspot.de/2013/03/6-lessons-you-can-learn-from-the-story-of-disco.html&quot;&gt;6 Lessons You Can Learn From The Story of Disco&lt;/a&gt; that I published some weeks ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are more stories to be told by Nile Rodgers. As I said, really hilarious stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/2Fbv_atBpS0&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;b&gt;Here are the liner notes to the BBC documentary from YouTube&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt; Nile Rodgers has sold over 100 million records. He helped define the sound of the &#39;70s, as disco took the world by storm. Nile and musical partner Bernard Edwards captured the essence of New York&#39;s iconic Studio 54 creating hits like Dance Dance Dance, Le Freak and Good Times for Chic and We Are Family and Lost In Music for struggling vocal group Sister Sledge. But the music that had made Chic would also break them, thanks to the &#39;Disco Sucks&#39; backlash. What could have been the end for Nile Rodgers would actually be a new beginning as a producer, helping create some of the biggest hits of the 80s for the likes of Diana Ross, David Bowie, Madonna and Duran Duran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this profile documentary, the ever-charismatic Rodgers contributes an engaging and often frank interview to tell the tale of how, born to Beatnik, heroin-addict parents in New York, he picked up a guitar as a teenager and embarked on a journey to learn his craft as a musician, before becoming one of disco&#39;s most successful artists&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the &#39;70s and &#39;80s he lived the party lifestyle thanks to his success with Chic and as one of the music industry&#39;s hottest producers. Drugs and alcohol would become part of everyday life for Nile, contributing in part to the break up of Chic in the early &#39;80s. The band would reform in the mid &#39;90s, but their return was quickly marked by tragedy with the death of Nile&#39;s long-time friend and musical partner, Bernard Edwards in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in 2010 Nile was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of prostate cancer, which last year he announced he had beaten. In spite of, or perhaps because of this, Nile&#39;s talent and ambition remains undimmed, deservedly earning himself the title of hardest-working man in pop, with Chic&#39;s seemingly inexhaustible live performance schedule.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nile Rodgers: The Hitmaker recounts a captivating and moving story of a man who has created some of the most sparkling and ebullient pop music ever recorded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contributors include: Nile Rodgers&#39; fellow Chic members, singers Norma Jean, Alfa Anderson and Fonzi Thornton and keyboard player Rob Sabino, as well as recording engineers Bob Clearmountain and Robert Drake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other artists Nile has worked with talk passionately about his talents, including Sister Sledge&#39;s Kathy Sledge&lt;b&gt;,&lt;/b&gt; Bryan Ferry, Steve Winwood, Johnny Marr, La Roux&#39;s Elly Jackson, Valerie Simpson, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein from Blondie and Duran Duran&#39;s John Taylor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His latest collaboration happens to be the upcoming and highly anticipated album of Daft Punk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/da_Yp9BOCaI&quot; width=&quot;640&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you&#39;re more into books, I can also strongly recommend his autobiography Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco and Destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And finally, take your time to watch a full Chic concert on YouTube&lt;br /&gt;

He lifts some of the mysteries (for outsiders) involved with the process of brewing beer.&lt;br /&gt;

If you are not, then at least take a look at California Conservation Corps members Antwon McCoy and Leonard Patton who managed to do so:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;iframe width=&quot;640&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/embed/wKNhCjA0pdU&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&#39;s what they say about the video:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
California Conservation Corps members Antwon McCoy and Leonard Patton  aren&#39;t just hard workers. They are also very good dancers who have  taught their big nature nerd/mountain man boss (John Griffith) more than  a few dance moves (song is Ay Ladies by Travis Porter). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When they  aren&#39;t busting moves, all three do a lot of trail building, salmon  habitat restoration, and tree planting in the CCC. John Griffith is also  the author of a fast-paced, multicultural eco-fantasy novel for readers  ten and up titled &quot;Totem Magic: Going MAD.&quot; (TotemMagic.com). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Create  your own fun and empowering video that demonstrates diversity,  inclusiveness, and unity. We wanna see them! Our global society has some  tough issues to solve, and we can only do that together. Let&#39;s start by  celebrating together. &lt;br /&gt;
