FIX: "Arithmetic overflow error converting IDENTITY to data type int" error message when you build a project in Team Foundation Server 2010
Article ID: 2704778 - View products that this article applies to.
On This Page
When you try to build a project in Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010, the build process fails, and you receive the following error message:
Additionally, an unhandled exception message that resembles the following is generated:
Exception Message: Arithmetic overflow error converting IDENTITY to data type int.
Arithmetic overflow occurred. (type SqlException)
Note This issue typically occurs when large build logs are stored in the TFS build server database.
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.TeamFoundationSqlResourceComponent.MapException(SqlException ex, QueryExecutionState queryState)
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.TeamFoundationSqlResourceComponent.HandleException(SqlException ex)
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.TeamFoundationSqlResourceComponent.Execute(ExecuteType executeType, CommandBehavior behavior)
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.TeamFoundationSqlResourceComponent.ExecuteReader()
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.BuildComponent.UpdateBuildInformation(String buildUri, IEnumerable`1 changes, String requestedBy)
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.TeamFoundationBuildService.UpdateBuildInformation(TeamFoundationRequestContext requestContext, IList`1 changes, IdentityDescriptor requestedFor)
at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.BuildWebService.UpdateBuildInformation(InformationChangeRequest[] changes)
This issue occurs because the MSBuild logger adds nodes to the tbl_BuildInformation table during each build process. Therefore, the NodeId column reaches its maximum integer value.
For example, if you run all your builds in Diagnostic or Detailed mode, a lot of messages are written to the database. This behavior causes the value to grow. Additionally, if you have activities that are writing out messages, these values can add up over time.
When you run the following SQL statement against your collection database, the returned value is close to the maximum value of 2.147 billon:
Select IDENT_CURRENT('tbl_buildInformation')
To resolve this issue, apply the following hotfix.

But their bad news could be investor's gain.
Including Blackwater, the State Department uses three separate security contractors in Iraq. The only competition for the coveted security contracts now rests with Triple Canopy and DynCorp International (DCP). For investors, DynCorp is the only publicly listed company of the three.
Before you think a few extra security guards in Iraq can't be that expensive, consider that there are thousands of private security contractors in Iraq. They protect everything from government personnel to corporate executives and buildings, earning thousands a day. Blackwater's contract in Iraq was worth nearly $2 billion – despite its poor performance reviews.
And Iraq isn't the only hotspot these companies operate in. There are dozens of other hotspots around the world for private security contractors to "clean up" in – like Afghanistan's reconstruction.

Will E-Trade throw its iconic baby out with the bath water?
The fate of the E-Trade baby, one of the most famous and successful spokesbabies in advertising history, remains uncertain after the agency that created it, Grey New York, abruptly resigned the E-Trade account.
From a pop cultural perspective, the E-Trade baby utterly twisted and ultimately changed the way marketers - and consumers - look at the use of babies in ads. Out: cuddly. In: cantankerous.
Although the baby's six-year run has involved the use of more than one baby, its impact on pop culture spread like wildfire from the Super Bowl to social media.
"It's one of the best uses of children as shills that I've ever seen," says Allison Cohen, president of PeopleTalk, an ad consultancy. "The attitude of the baby is so street smart in such a disarming way."
Most important, the baby talks in a way that adults can relate to, says Elayne Rapping, professor of American Studies at SUNY/Buffalo and author of Media-tions: Forays into the Culture and Gender Wars. "The kid humanized the whole business of trading," says Rapping. "While other babies are just pictures, this one has a personality that is pure pop culture."
So much so that the baby was fodder for reams of Jay Leno and David Letterman jokes. It even got embroiled in a lawsuit from no less than actress Lindsay Lohan. The often-troubled actress thought that a female baby named "Lindsay," in an E-Trade commercial, was impersonating her not only because of its name, but because it was referred to in the ad as "milk-a-holic."
The fate of the baby is now up in the air. E-Trade, on Friday, declined to comment on the baby's fate. But E-Trade owns the rights to the baby - not the agency that created it. So, even with a new agency, E-Trade has the option to continue to feature the baby in future ads.
Some ad industry executives speculate that's rather doubtful, however, since E-Trade - which had several CEOs over the past few years - not only has another relatively new CEO, but also a new marketing chief.
"After a spectacularly successful six-year run, we are resigning the E-Trade Financial account," said Grey, in an internal memo sent to employees and obtained by USA TODAY. "This was the brand and work that began our turnaround."
The ads never came easy. Each commercial required endless hours of filming - most of it left on the cutting room floor. But the ads, though occasionally over-the-top, won all sorts of industry praise. Several scored very highly, but none ever outright won USA TODAY'S Super Bowl Ad Meter.
The guy who created the E-Trade baby, Tor Myhren, president and chief creative at Grey New York, tells USA TODAY that the baby has changed the very perception of his advertising agency. "The little man continues to be a calling card for Grey," says Myhren. "I can't tell you how many time brands come to us and say, 'We want our E-Trade baby.' "
As for the baby, well, it continues to have its own Facebook page and Twitter handle. A typically snide comment the baby tweeted earlier this month: "School's out for summer. Unless you're in Australia, and then it's out for the winter. Doesn't have the same ring to it."

Exceptionally balanced herbal citrus accord with some beautiful lemon and bergamot top notes followed by a deep earthy patchouli warmed and sweetened with rose/geranium heart.
It is perfect because it is utterly focused and to the point, yet not too simple. It wears very easily, lasts all day, lacks any offensive chemistry-set notes and is not overpowering.
Brilliant for casual or everyday formal.

Comments about Aramis Tuscany Cologne:
My father was a user of this fragrance during my young adult years. I have since his passing desired to continue the fragrance I remember from my father. The comments I receive from wearing Tuscany I feel are will create a legacy and will become legendary within my family, as I believe my son will continue the tradition and the generational fragrance in my family.

Comments about Aramis Tuscany Cologne:
I use the product every day, especially after shaving. Great compliments on the "Signature Fragrance". However the color of the product is beginning to change to a greenish color versus the traditional gold color. Plus I have noticed the fragrance doesn't last as long as the former gold colored product. Bring back my original color and long lasting Tuscany please.

The campsite has everything you could need for a short break or a long stay. Just a couple of bug bears not enough evening entertainment outside peak times,maybe an extra English TV channel as a substitute for the lack of evening entertainment. WiFi hit and miss. We bought 6 hrs of WiFi for 5 euros for our stay but probably only used an hour as we couldn't keep a connection. Go to the bar buy a drink and get free WiFi better connectivity.

The top ring, measuring 8 metres in diameter, is designed to hold the enormous blades.Narec The National Renewable Energy Centre (Narec) has just completed a facility designed to test wind turbine blades of up to 100 metres in length.The centre, at Blyth in Northumberland, already has the capability to test 50-metre turbine blades, but has designed the new facility to test the longer blades used by offshore turbines.The 5,700 square-metre building is 123 metres long and features a test hub comprising of a 15-metre high concrete superstructure with two huge rings. The top ring, measuring eight metres in diameter, is designed to hold the enormous blades.There are two main types of test, which Narec refers to as "fatigue" and "static". The static test aims to see how strong the blade is when pulled by winches attached to a number of points along the blade -- the idea is to mimic potential extreme gusts of wind which could flex the blades. Narec then measures the impact on the structure.The fatigue tests are more complex, using oscillating hydraulic masses to move the blade at its natural frequency and mimic the general movement it would experience as it revolves. The current industry norm requires at least one million cycles in both directions.Narec's director of major projects & assets, Tony Quinn, explains in a video: "Normal civil engineering tolerances simply don't apply here. We are dealing with very large forces." According to the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA), 132 new offshore wind turbines, totalling 523.2 megawatts (MW) were connected to the grid in Europe in the first half of 2012. This is a 50 percent increase compared to the same period in 2011. Offshore turbines are generally larger than their onshore counterparts to take advantage of the high winds and lack of disturbance to human neighbours. Siemens has developed the world's longest wind turbine rotor blades -- at 75 metres long -- and is due to install them off the coast of Denmark by autumn 2012. However, there is a push for even larger turbines to be developed.In the new facility, a typical programme involving both fatigue and static testing would take around a year.

TechShop: where fab dreams come true
Posted By Tom Jackson On November 9, 2012 @ 11:01 am In Construction News | No Comments
If you've ever wanted to design or fabricate something that you didn't have the tools or the shop for TechShop may be just your ticket. [1]
The idea started with some West Coast motorcycle enthusiasts who combined resources to develop a shop they couldn't afford individually. Now TechShop has grown into a membership based DIY workshop and fabrication studio that provides more than
$1-million worth of high tech tools and equipment in six locations around the country.
If you have an ounce of creative ambition you gotta love their equipment set ups: MIG and TIG welding, CNC machines, mills, lathes, 3D printing, sheet metal brakes, AutoDesk design software and water jet cutting machines just to name a few. Electronics and woodworking capabilities are also available as is training on all of the equipment.
Current locations include three shops around the greater San Francisco area and individual shops in Raliegh-Durham, North Carolina; Detroit, Michigan; and Austin, Texas. Plans are underway to open a shop in Brooklyn, New York, in the near future.
The video below gives you a taste of what's going on at TechShop.

Robert Alexander Schumann 1810-1856
( Originally Published 1935 )
Symphony No. 1, in B flat major, Opus 3 8
I. Andante un poco maestoso; Allegro molto vivace
II. Larghetto
III. Scherzo: Molto vivace; Trio I: Molto piu vivace; Trio II
IV. Allegro animato e grazioso
The most romantic and personal of symphonies are the four by Robert Schumann. They are the outpourings of a young poet's heart, who molds the classic form to his heart's desire.
The ten years of Schumann's career as symphonist were from 1841 to 1851; 184o was the year of his marriage to Clara Wieck, a happiness which colored all his art. He had waited long for his bride, and had known bitter hours of discouragement and frustration. For once in history a happily consummated romance did inspire a composer. Up to the time of his marriage Schumann had written entirely for the piano. He now literally burst into song, producing by the score a unique series of lieder, and then turned to the symphony. One day he read a poem by Adolph Boettger—a minor German poet, a poem of gloomy cast. Observe how we make our world in accordance with our image of it! The poem begins with a melancholy apostrophe to the "dark storm cloud" and an entreaty that it change its course. It concludes with the line that set Schumann's soul vibrating: "In the valley blooms the Spring."
The best index to the nature of this work is provided in a letter Schumann wrote Wilhelm Tauber who was to conduct a performance of it in Berlin. "Could you infuse," says our tone-poet, "into your orchestra ... a sort of longing for Sprinig? ... The first entrance of the trumpets, this I should like to have sounded as though it were from above, like unto a call to awakening; and then I should like reading between the lines, in the rest of the introduction, how everywhere it begins to grow green, howl a butterfly takes wing and, in the allegro, how little: by little all things come that in any way belong to Spring. True, these are fantastic thoughts, which only came to me after the work was finished; only, I tell you this about the Finale, that I thought of it as the good-by of Spring."
A trumpet call, as from on high, is answered by a shout from the full orchestra. There is then a growing agitation among the instruments. The joyous tumult leads into the exultant main movement. This opens with a lively version of the initial trumpet motive, of which the rhythm dominates the movement. A march-like rhythm leads to the second theme, a lovely, plaintive phrase given to the clarinets. In the development of the material some subsiciary matter is added, but everything moves to the propulsive energy of the first theme, and it is impossible not to think of mounting sap and universal stir of life.
The return from free development to the first theme is preceded by the proclamation of the introductory trumpet call and the orchestral response. At the end of the recapitulation comes a long-breathed concluding subject, a hymn of thanksgiving for the new life that has come to the earth with the Spring; and again the victorious fanfare sounds from the skies.
Lovers of Schumann have special treasures, and surely a particular place must be given to the dreamily passionate song that makes the burden of the first movement. The melody of the slow movement, possessed of the fervor and languor of Spring, floats like a water-lily on the surface of the orchestral accompaniment; later it is played by the violoncellos with ornamentations of the violins. The movement ends with soft chorale-like harmonies for the trombones, and a gently interrogatory phrase of the clarinet, which is not a conclusion.
For the answer comes, after a short pause, with the virile attack of the scherzo. Scherzo movements in all the Schumann symphonies have a special character, not fantastic or demoniac, like Beethoven's, but rather poetical transfigurations of German folk-dances. Some of the 'dance rhythms are heavy-footed and redolent of the good soil. Others, less physical, evoke thoughts tender, mocking, gay. Schumann extends these movements beyond the customary proportions of the three-part scherzo form, which has earlier been described. And so in the scherzo of this "Spring" symphony there are two "Trios," or middle parts, with piquant alternations of rhythms and of Lump'. Just at the end is a little, unique coda, a teasing afterthought, of the greatest charm.
,Schumann has told us his conception of the last movement—the thought of Spring's farewell as she trips onward over the country-side. This is the lightest and perhaps the least of the four movements, but it is delicious. The introductory theme has he inflection of a light-hearted serenade. Now the music hurries, now it dallies. Shouts of horns and wind instruments, over rushing strings, signalize the gay fight.
Symphony in D minor, Opus 120, numbered 4
I. Andante; Allegro
II. Romanza
III. Scherzo
IV. Largo; Finale
This symphony is actually Schumann's second, revised ten years after its completion in i :41, and then published as the Fourth. It is discussed in this place, not for the sake of chronological exactncess, but be-cause its ideas influenced the works that followed. It was conceived in the same year as the -Spring" symphony, and was presented by Robert to Clara on her birthday, September 13, a year and a day after their marriage, and on the baptismal day of their first child. But it is very different from its companion-piece, the "Spring" symphony, being more introspective and more individual in the treatment of the form. No doubt the fact that Schumann revised the work a decade after its conception is partly responsible for this. He then altered both structure and instrumentation. But we know that the revised score is in essentials the one that he had earlier created. It is the product of inspiration plus experience, and the quintessence of Schumann's nature.
Schumann wished this symphony to be played without breaks between the movements, all of which are associated by means of recurring themes. He avows no program and gives us no direct clue to his thoughts, but his purpose in the use of the repeated themes is manifestly for more reasons than those of structure. The motives have an emotional significance. They are as secret words coined by the poet for his Clara.
Some of these motives haunted Schumann for long after. The lovely brooding theme that opens the work is reincarnated in the symphonies that follow. Heard at the 'beginning of the D minor symphony in the strings, this idea reappears later as part of the romanza movement, and also in the trio of the scherzo. And there are other thematic inter-relations. In the introduction, following the brooding theme, is a rest-less auxiliary motive. A moment later this becomes the principal theme of the main body of the movement. Later the same idea occurs as transition from the scherzo to the finale, where, the tonality changing from minor to major, it becomes a salient motive of the last movement. By these means the symphony germinates from matter heard at the beginning.
In the first allegro movement the agitated figure carried over from the introduction tosses restlessly for many measures. The customary singing theme is not heard of until the free fantasia has been reached, and there is no "recapitulation." One mood, one thought, obsesses the composer's mind, and that i:; one of rest-less longing.
The next movement is the exquisite romance. The melody immediately announced by oboe and cello is said to be a Provencal song for which Schumann had intended a setting with guitar accompaniment. This melody merges into the flowing phrase made from the material of the introduction, which returns here in so natural a manner that the two motives seem parts of one idea. For contrast and elaboration the re is a change from minor to major, with arabesques o: the flowing theme by the solo violin. The movement of subdued tint and pervasive melancholy, constitutes one of the loveliest passages in Schumann.
The scherzo commences with expected vigor, some-what after the model of the same movement of the First symphony, but what follows is quite different from the plan of the preceding work. It is an arrangement, in different rhythm, of the violin variation in the romanza. There is a wonderful bridge to the final movement—dying echoes of the scherzo theme, then, over' tremolos of the strings and horn calls, the re-turning agitated phrase of the introduction. And now the mood changes. What had been despondency and protestation becomes the song of love triumphant. Rapid figures give place more and more frequently to lyric themes. The motive that had indicated heartache has become a herald of happiness and the pace quickens, as if the hastening lover could not speed fast enough, as if he sang as he sped.
Symphony C major, Opus 61, numbered 2
I. Sostenuto assai; Allegro ma non troppo IL Scherzo: Allegro vivace; Trio I, Trio II
III. Adagio espressivo
IV. Allegro molto vivace
The so-called Second symphony, really Schumann's Third, has melodic relations with the work that pre-ceded it. Schumann was in poor spirits when he completed this score in 1845. He was physically ailing, mentally distressed. If there are any signs in the symphonies of the morbidness which turned in the last tragic years to insanity, they are here. The introduction, closely resembling that of the D minor symphony, is a troubled revery. The main movement, while substantially -worked out, is feverish. Toward the end of the movement a horn figure already heard in the introduction, and destined to reappear in later movements, is sounded.
The scherzo continues in similar strain, a scherzo brilliantly and in places curiously written. The first part has a figure akin to the principal theme of the first movement of the D minor symphony, but wilder in mood, and the harmonies have more bite. There are curious alternating rhythms in the trios, the first of which, by a coincidence, is remindful of the figure that opens the march movement of Tchaikovsky's "Symphonic Pathetique." Some of the rhythmical groupings must have puzzled Schumann's contemporaries. Here, too, is sensed a tragic undertone, and again we hear the horn signal.
As a psychological document this symphony might perhaps merit a closer examination than any of the other four. For the music lover pure and simple the slow movement alone, with its yearning melancholy, would be worth the journey. The melody mounts in pitch and in intensity to the inspired moment when the violins, trilling passionately, descend by semi-tones. There follows a passage of counterpoint, in staccato notes, introduced for the sake of some contrast to the sustained song. It is almost laughably artificial—palpably a transparent device, unsuccessfully employed. Not that it lacks plausibility. But this pas-sage, truth to tell, could have been written by a good conservatory pupil. Our Schumann is for the moment far away! He is in bad case until after some academic fussing he gratefully resumes his song, and that song fairly transports us by its expression, so simple, so touching, so laden with his native appeal.
In the last movement—we are now speaking of the emotional issue—the composer in a measure recovers himself. Brilliant chords and scale passages precede a passionate theme given solo wind instruments over a throbbing accompaniment. The movement gains in momentum; the final sounding of the horn is as a paean of victory. "In the finale," wrote Schumann to George Dietrich Otten, "I first began to feel myself; and indeed I was much better after I had finished the work. But otherwise, as I have said, it reminds me of a dark time." And elsewhere: "I sketched it when I was in a state of physical suffering; nay, I may say it was, so to speak, the resistance of the spirit which exercised a visible influence here, and through which I sought to contend with my bodily state. The first movement is full of this struggle and is very capricious and refractory." But when Jean Verhulst visited Schumann in 1845, the composer said that he had just finished a symphony; and he added, "I think it's a regular Jupiter"—alluding to Mozart's masterpiece. For the moment, at least, Schumann felt he had won his victory.
Symphony in E flat, Opus 97, ("Rhenish"), numbered 3
I. Lebhaft
II. Scherzo: Allegro vivace
III. Nicht schnell
IV. Feierlich
V. Lebhaft
It will be seen from the foregoing that Schumann's "Third" symphony was his last in actual conception. It is more frankly tone-painting than any of the others. Composed in 1850, this score is somewhat apart from the others. In a magnified way it is nearer related to Schumann's inimitable tone-pictures for the piano. The composer thought of the life, the festivities, and blue and gold of scenes along the banks of the Rhine. The symphony has the peculiarity of five movements, one of which was inspired by the spectacle of a religious ceremony witnessed in Cologne Cathedral. But Schumann struck out the one caption he had put' over the fourth movement, which read, "In the character of the accompaniment of a solemn ceremony."
One trace of the Schumann of the earlier symphonies is here. It comes with the sudden appearance, in the midst of the festive tumult of the opening movement, of that haunting theme of the introduction of the D minor symphony! It is the voice of the dreamer, present in the midst of the thronging life of the people, of them and yet apart from them. It could well have borne the inscription which Schumann bestowed on one of his little piano pieces, The Poet Speaks." For the rest, this opening movement of the "Rhenish" symphony is the most brightly colored page in Schumann's orchestral music. And again, as in a former work, he chooses to give nearly all his attention to his opening theme, which is sounded at once with great festivity, and without the formality of an introduction by the orchestra.
The next movement is a swinging dance measure, full of humor and naivete—a true "Landler," or country-dance of quieter days. The laughter and folk-like simplicity of the first part contrast with the lovely sentimentality of the trio, a passage of special felicity. No other composer, nor Schumann himself, ever said quite the same thing in music, in the same felicitous way.
The third movement, though not so designated, is another romanza, less melancholy than that of the D minor symphony, and very lovely. Schumann's art turns his longing sentimentalism to sheer poetry. In the fourth movement, the cathedral music, there is remarkable coloring due principally to the use of the trombones, and a special scheme of orchestration. All this is free tone-painting. The finale is an assembling of themes and moods, including a reminiscence of the cathedral music, which have gone before.

Explaining the relevance and influence of ENTOMBED is probably as superfluous as pointing out why Slayer rule, Lemmy is bigger than God and Dio the greatest loss in metal history. A legend is a legend. Fullstop. F**k off!
If you still require a proper explanation that is less shot from the hip, well…let us start with this: The Swedish Death Metal forefathers and genre innovators have inspired tons of bands all around the globe with their invincible trademark sound. However, as the band's last album "Serpent Saints - The Ten Amendments" dates back to 2007, there is definitely more than a good reason for a bit of catch-up and ask why it took so long to finish the band's superb 10th opus, programmatically titled "Back To the Front", vocalist extraordinaire L-G Petrov states:
""Serpents…" was a fairly good album but a little weak compared to previous works and the distribution wasn't that great yet we continued playing shows throughout the past years but never really got going with new songs. At some point we decided that it was time for a new album, so we sat down and played riffs that we had from before as well as many new riffs and started putting them together which really sparked our motivation. That really gave us a push! We feel that this is the best album so far in many years and I think you can hear it on the album!"
Thematically, the will and determination to back up such words with fantastic songs is reflected in the powerful album title and part of the concept of the record as guitarist Nico Elgstrand describes:
"A lot of the album is about being at war in different ways and struggles/shortcomings of mankind, so we felt that "Back To The Front" fitted really well. It has a military reference obviously and we also feel like a platoon (ha ha, a small platoon) that has been behind the frontlines for a long time anxious to get back into battle. Not mean and lean but rather fat and bored and really keen on getting back to what we do best, which of course is to kill! Metaphorically speaking needless to say, ha ha. Also it is a very direct way of saying we've been away for way too long, we know and that we will now aim to stay at the front until the friggin' battle is won! The cavalry has finally arrived if you will (without horses though, ha ha)!"
Well spoken, Sir, yet expectations will be incredibly high on this one as ENTOMBED's roots and legacy goes way back into the year 1987 when they formed under the name NIHILIST. In 1989 the formation changed its name to ENTOMBED and together with Morbid (for whom singer LG played drums), Treblinka/Tiamat, Grave and Dismember, ENTOMBED/NIHILIST established themselves among the earliest bands to forge the immortal Swedish death metal sound that became really popular and unique due to its punkish roots and especially that chainsaw guitar sound, today inseparably linked to terms like "Skogsberg", "Sunlight Studio" or just "Stockholm sound". Inspired by such diverse acts as Autopsy, Motörhead, Discharge or Kiss, over the years ENTOMBED did not shy away from thinking outside of the coffin resulting in a style some fans called Death'n'Roll but in the end it was, is and will be just a band with a style and impact entirely their own.
So, what awaits the listener on "Back To The Front"? Produced by Roberto Laghi (In Flames, Hardcore Superstar) at Studio Bohus (Abba, Europe) in Kunälv, it's 666% true to the ENTOMBED everybody loves. While not falling for total regression back to the early classics "Left Hand Path" or "Clandestine", it is a total bone-crushing opus that will have fans of all periods cry tears of joy and even the most stubborn fan of the early days join in shame. "The goal was to have riffs that felt fresh and exciting, to make an album that felt old school as well as fresh and up to date, showing who ENTOMBED are today," L-G puts it quite simply and Nico continues: "I thoroughly enjoy the fact that I find it super hard to pick 2 or 3 songs as the best of it, because i really like 'em all. I think that they all have something new and fresh yet it feels very old school in some way. "Kill To Live" with its surprising ENTOMBED-intro turned out very cool and the track also has an almost cinematic yet classic metal feel to it, dunno why, but it just invigorates me. "Second To None" kinda makes me wanna drive a tank while listening, and that to me is how proper metal should sound! It makes you wanna do mighty things so to speak!"
From the morbid, pissed-off lyrics over detuned, massive riffs to the inimitable brick-heavy groove and LG Petrov's titanic roar, "Back To The Front" not only musically but also visually with its stunning painting by Necropolitus Cracoviensis Zbgniew Bielak II (Watain, Ghost, Vader) seems to send a respectful nod to the old school as L-G confirms: "The skull will always be a part of ENTOMBED. I totally agree, we have taken away some of the "rock" parts and gone with more metal, and I think fans new and old will appreciate that."
With European touring under way in December with label mates and black metal genre leaders WATAIN – vocalist Erik actually penned lyrics for the song "Carnage" (from "When In Sodom" EP, 2006) – and former band member Nicke Andersson contributed parts to the new song "Vulture And The Traitor", the Swedish metal platoon ENTOMBED anno 2013 has all its weapons polished and reloaded and is ready to shatter the entire music scene with an uncompromising full frontal assault. So, let us all enjoy "Back To The Front" and celebrate the fact that the legend called ENTOMBED has finally returned. Goddamn!

Since the merger of the Support Alert Newsletter and the Windows Secrets Newsletter on July 24, we've received a lot of great feedback from our readers.
To give you as much value as we can, we've put together today's special "news update," although Windows Secrets doesn't normally publish a newsletter on the 5th Thursday of the month.
Take advantage of our reviews and library
We're doing everything we can to give you easy access to the latest software reviews by writers for both Windows Secrets and Support Alert.
The image at right illustrates our new "software sidebar," which is now available to you on most pages of WindowsSecrets.com. As soon as possible, we plan to highlight the very newest reviews — just the past four weeks, for example — to make them easy for you to find. (The links in this example image aren't clickable; instead, clicking the image leads to a WindowsSecrets.com reviews page, where a working sidebar resides.)
The reader response to our new review format has been incredibly positive. The following e-mail from Fernando Assis, a paying subscriber to the old Support Alert Newsletter, is typical of the messages we've received:
- "The new way you present links for the best freeware in this new site is just superb. I've never seen it any easier in any other place. Congratulations! And thanks a lot."
1. Associate editor Scott Dunn rates driver-update solutions;
2. Senior editor Gizmo Richards reveals how you can get the best free firewall (and test it); and
3. Contributing editor Scott Spanbauer reviews free e-mail programs.
Starting on Aug. 7, Gizmo and Scott S. will alternate writing reviews each week in the Best Software column. They'll each publish two columns a month, which will be available in our paid content. Our other writers will periodically kick in new reviews, too.
In addition to our software reviews, we're working to make every article in past issues of Support Alert, the LangaList, and Windows Secrets as accessible to you as possible.
If you haven't already tried it, check out our links to the past 10 years of articles from all three titles. Start at the top level of the Windows Secrets library.
If you can't find the article you want by browsing for it, try a search query. You can search everything ever published in Support Alert, the LangaList, and Windows Secrets — and if that fails, use our special Google API tool — on our search page.
For more tips about how to use all of our new options, read our July 24 article.
No paid content in news updates; see you Aug. 7
As I mentioned before, we usually skip publishing in any week that has a 5th Thursday. This lets our contributors take a break.
No rest for them this week, though! In celebration of our merger with Support Alert, we wanted to bring you extra content in today's news update. We always want to overdeliver for you when we can.
Our news updates have no paid content, so all of our articles today are free and available to all. Every subscriber receives the same columns.
Our next regular weekly newsletter will be published on Thurs., Aug. 7. Thanks for your support!
Brian Livingston is editorial director of WindowsSecrets.com and the co-author of Windows Vista Secrets and 10 other books.

But with six hours of juice after four hours of charge, you could easily take Miniwiz's Solar Bulb into darker locales once it's fully powered. The bulb, a a 0.07 W high output LED with magnifying lens, comes in a Big Mac-esque package. It'll screw onto any standard water bottle or Miniwiz's own POLLI-brick interlockable bottles, making for a convenient handle. Also from Miniwiz, the miniNOTE solar card and battery transfers its stored power to PDAs, iPods and other portable devices via USB. "From" and "To" notes on the cardboard packaging suggest a fun gift for your green-obsessed pals. [Miniwiz via NotCot]

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to Finley StillThis is really annoying. You have to buy an adapter to use most non-Apple headphones. It's at the Apple Store online and in store. Ten bucks.

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to Finley StillYeah it's odd.
Many brands of Audiophone headphones have strange adapters and require modification much of the time. Sennheiser HD495/HD555 have the 1/2 inch plug which requires a ten dollar adapter to work on most portables and it's so huge most people go out an buy a Grado adapter or similar.
But still it's lame UNLESS they have some reason for doing this, which I hope they do.

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to mac wisonI think that would be because of the mute button on the headphone cable. Compare the plugs: They may appear to be the same but standard stereo headphones have 3 metal parts separated by 2 plastic insulators. The iPhone has 4 metal parts because the wire carries more than just audio. (Similar to the iPod Video adapter)

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to Don AyerGeez, after paying $99 for Bose earphones for the iPod just a couple of months ago, I now need to spend an additional $10 for a headphone adaptor, so they can work on the iPhone?

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to AppleZillaI had specifically asked the guys behind the registers at the Apple Store if my Bose earphones would work with the iPhone, and showed them the earphones on my iPod--at first, the answer was "we don't sell those", till I pointed out that I had purchased them at an Apple Store. Then they said "yes", the earphones would work on the iPhone. Nothing about needing an adaptor. You all are a lot more helpful. Thanks.

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to Finley StillThe only answer why this "new" headphone hole was done was to keep people using the white iPod headphones and for the cell phone part of the iPhone. How would you answer a call without the new headphones. You would have to take them off. Apple want you to leave them on and use the answer switch.
The white iPod headphones also is good advertising for iPods.

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to Alex VelozI'm not quite so conspiracy-minded. There wouldn't much point to using a 3.5mm headphone jack if you wanted lock-in. You could use 2.5mm instead! My guess is that either ergonomics played a part (the iPhone's back is much more rounded) or they felt it was more important to protect the jack.

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to Finley StillFolks, this is really pretty easy to fix (although it's rediculous that we should have to).
I've used an Xacto knife to fix 3 sets of headphones (Bose Quietcomfort, Bose earplugs, Ultimate Ears). I just shaved off the rubber ring at the base of the plug and they fit right in.
romanesq Jul 6, 2007 9:01 AM
Re: headphones don't fit? in response to timurray2000How about people report on what works? For what it's worth, I heard the Ultimate Ears Super.FI 5 Pro didn't work. Just got them today and confirmed that with the existing jack but ironically, the package includes an airplane jack adaptor.
Tried that and it works!
Although it's probably not the best adaptor for walking around as its angled, I'll probably have to pop into the Apple Store to get the Belkin adaptor.
Such is life.
romanesq Jul 6, 2007 1:49 PM
Re: headphones don't fit? in response to romanesqTook a closer look at the base of the Super.fi 5 Pro headphones and there's just a little extra rim of plastic at the base of the plug. Took a very sharp knife and around the base cut along all around. Then put a nail against the spot and a little piece started to come up and then the whole small circular piece.
No damage to the connection at all and put it in and it works!
(Now don't blame me if you try this on any other model. On these Ultimate Ear model, the base is a more soft plastic than the standard black type you see.)
Not only that, since the earplugs actually have a plug in to the line, if they do wear or break you can replace them easily.
Now boy do these sound great! You can get them online for around $160.

Re: headphones don't fit? in response to romanesqUsed the same fix here... Took a sharp knife to the headset plug and shaved a little off the outside. Works perfectly.
