Microsoft Corp is set to make a splash this week with the eagerly awaited unveiling of its new Xbox game console, eight years after the last version, as it seeks a larger share of the $65 billion a year global computer gaming industry.
Well isn't that obvious =\
But we don't want to know how much "more than a console" the NextBox will be.
We want to know how much "less than a console" it will be. Gaming sacrificed for multimedia movie-watching Kinect-playing entertainment box? We'll see, I guess...
I agree. Besides all the rumors, we really don't know how much more other than gaming the console will be. Honestly if MS developed a great console that developers like and introduce new AAA games while adding other features that compliments and conbined TV with other things then i don't see a problem. I don't care if the next xbox also makes toast, as long as it providing great games and not forgetting about the hardcore gamers then im good.
give it a rest. if it plays games, then how can it be less than a console?
how is gaming sacrificed when it plays games???
yes the same qustion twice. you kids are like dogs with a bone ffs
the focus won't be entirely on games they will have to provide for the other services they implement. so time and money that could have been spent creating more exclusive, promoting indie devs and whatnot will be spent on the other services while sony for example doesn't need to support extra features that gamers won't even use. but i agree with @JoGam if the core gamers aren't compromised then its all good but judging by the way MS completely abandoned the core gamers this gen in favour for the kinect that is not very likely
What does Gaming sacrificed means? Does that mean that when I am in a middle of a game, suddenly a commercial break pops up to pause the game or something. As far as I know every third party publishers are making games for both next gen consoles. I swear you people are like politicians, coming up with crazy wordings.
History has demonstrated that all modern consoles can do more than just gaming, like many PS2 or PSP owners they've sacrificed the sole purpose of gaming for *additional* multimedia functions via mod chips or custom firmwares. Even the PS3 was very popular as the best Blu-Ray media player, and quite many have bought it for movie entertainment. It helps increasing the PS3 sales too, you like it or not. Remember the "It Only Does Everything" slogan?
Now if i am a gamer-focused fan then the obvious choice will be the PS4. Obviously we're all not the same, so options always good for many. Eeach console is targeting different audience, it's not a rocket science to understand.
im sincerely curious, how do extra features "take away" from gaming? You make it seem as if developing a console is an game of ultimatums. "uh we can either have x amount of ram, or a tv app" the two are mutually exclusive.
"We want to know how much "less than a console" it will be. Gaming sacrificed for multimedia movie-watching Kinect-playing entertainment box?"
Yep cause the Microsoft's gaming division is TOTALLY the social-aspect division.
aaannnddd..here are the trolls
never fail to disappoint
extra features are always welcome unless it takes the focus from the primary console job which is gaming.
PS3 was bashed to hell for its ability to play bluray movies!!
I still don't understand the reasons behind that, how come an extra feature treated like a negative?!
let's wait and see.
no it wasn't you prat. it was bashed for the extra cost and delays ffs.
so i suppose the ps2 was bashed for the ability to play dvds.
I have a bad feeling Gaming is taking a backseat ride on this new adventure.
I hope not, but it seems gaming isn't the focus like it should be.
Almost everyone who bought a 360 is a gamer who bought it to play games.
They expect those same people to buy the next one if it isn't focused on gaming ? I don't think so.
They will move on to PS4, Wii U & PC if they need to.
Some will stay...I hope I'm one of them, but it's not looking so hot.
Tuesday we will find out and know more though.
After E3 I'll most likely have my mind made up.
I'm 100% getting a Wii U at some point...Not until beginning of 2014 though.
i hope it doesnt disappoint.. I am excited to see what they have going on
2 more days.
I hope the new Xbox doesn't suck.
It's looking to be a lot of things.
Nothing wrong wit that.
It's all about how much effort they put into new IP this time around though. If it is first and foremost a media device, that's when you will run into problems. At least from a gamer's standpoint, what with the Playstation 4 seemingly setting itself up very nicely as the core console gamer's platform.
Don't care what it will be just show it, price it & give me a release date.
Well based on what we know, that's what they're aiming for.
No duh, but the thing is. I don't see Microsoft pulling it off and by that I mean it not doing as good as they plan it to.
Its nice to be able to stream shows and all. But when I buy a console, I buy it for the games. The rest is icing on the cake.
Ummmm, I havent seen a game console that hasnt been "more than a gameconsole" in awhile now.
This is new?
I'm really curious to know what will happen with kinect.
I think the reason why they're changing their vision and target market is due to the lackluster effect of Windows Tablet Rt and the advent of Android and the Convergence devices in the market.
They are no longer just targeting Sony per se, but they're also aiming t Apple or Google with their internet TVs.
And thats the problem. They forgot that this is the "VIDEO GAME" industry, not the "everything + the kitchen sink" industry.
And what's wrong with that? If they're able to make a great video game console and add all these additional media features then wouldn't that be the best for the consumer? Should a phone only be able to make phone calls or has the addition of cameras and apps lessened the phone's ability to make phone calls. It's the developers that make the game so I don't see how Microsoft adding features to the console would adversely affect a developer's ability to create games.
I see what you're saying but M$ isn't making a console and adding all sorts of crazy features, they're making a bunch of features and throwing in games as an afterthought. Gaming NEEDS to be first and foremost, and then add some cool stuff.
edit: How can anyone who calls himself a gamer disagree with me on this?
Agreed turnerdc, If this was the other way around, like the PSP/VITA vs DS situation, they were are proclaiming the PSP is a better fit because of internet, a media player, and other functions like remote play are all features that are holding the DS back and its dual screen is a gimmick. Give me a break, these are the same folks that are praising the Kevin Butler and "It Only Does Everything" campaign like it is the second coming. Now all of a sudden, they feel too much features is a bad thing. Hypocrisy lives on on.
@pop ^^^,
"hey're making a bunch of features and throwing in games as an afterthought"
You are like the 80th person proclaiming that based on what? I purchased over 20 core X360 games during the past 2 years from Halo 4, Forza Horizon, Bioshock Infinite, to inJustice. Have it ever occur to you that the reason why MS hired third party developers to make core games such as Forza Horizon and have People Can Fly to do GeOW Judgement is to provide both core game support to current xbox 360 owners while having the "A" teams such as Epic, Turn-10, and recently assembled studio Black Tusk to put all their effort to make core games for the new console. You know games take 2-3 years, at least, to make and MS just want to have these core games start rolling in as the new gen comes upon us.
May 21, the haters shall...well, keep trolling on Xbox related articles.
Its easy to disagree as consoles have always been about accessibility and convenience and its only natural that all parties (MS, Sony, and even Nintendo) have turned their gazes outwards to bring the same practice to other forms of entertainment/mediums. MS is simply the most vocal about it but far from the only one 'guilty' of the practice. The only thing MS is really guilty of (imo) is the shifting away of new IPs and continued support for the 'less successful' ones to focus on the 'big 3' (Gears, Halo and Forza) late into the generation. I've still been happy with what I've gotten just not necessarily the quantity or diversity of exclusives--but as SDF Repellent said 3rd party has done a great job keeping Xbox fans entertained while waiting for other games.
I am more willing to bet that is because of a huge shift towards next gen though as they know they are going to need something to compete with PS4 as it was unlikely that Sony would: 1)come out a year later and 2)Be slow with early quality exclusives this time around. PS3 had some good launch games but nothing 'special' compared to what we've seen from them for the PS4 release window. Its unfortunate but MS more than likely needed those 2-3 years we've been coping with (minus the 'big 3' of course) to have a real hope to level the playing field come a true competitive release that we're likely to see.
I do agree they have had made some mistakes but I don't necessarily see it as a complete redirection of their goals so much as an unfortunate necessity. Gaming does need to be first in a sense but gaming is also the easy part of a console as its what they have always done. Its the 'everything + kitchen sink' that they (all console manufacturers) have had to focus on to stay competitive (same way Sony has used DVD and Blu-Ray in the past--it wasn't just the storage medium for games but a means to entice a totally different market). I love my games but there is still so much more a console can do which all 3 have proven this generation. Netflix for example--HUGELY popular among console owners although technically possible without one. You can sit back and relax and watch movies with people anywhere in the world (well technically only where available but same idea and applies to other 'non gaming' mediums as well).
Just saying most of what you are saying is 'true' but not necessarily being accepted the way you're saying it (if you know what I'm saying--just to say 'say' again) ;)
Mostly we just have to wait and see how MS has been keeping busy as no denying many of their internal studios haven't shown their faces in a while.
I think it's partly due to the fact that a console has to justify it's position in the front room connected to the TV. They're big and take up a lot of space. So do you want those functions in the console, or does it need to compete for space with a set-top box / DVD / blu-ray player? Usually not everyone in a household is a gamer, so if you want that premium slot in front of the TV you need to be able to sell yourself to different audiences.
When I was a kid these things would be pushed up into bedrooms but the fight now is for that spot in the living room. They want their devices to be the hub for what is displayed on the TV, not simply sharing the display with other devices.
the thing is when Microsoft starts to add all these extra features they just forget about the GAMERS! like they have this gen.
They should seperate the two, have an xbox and an xtv box. They are different industries.... MLG (Major League Gaming) there isn't an MLMW (Major League Movie Watching)
The reveal wont show us any concrete launch titles or anything.. Prolly just a general idea of what they have cooking & E3 will unleash most of the info.. Price & Date might come in october ;(
If the PS4 does not meet sales expectations Sony will undoubtedly start to promote its diversity, just like they did with the "It only does everything" campaign for the PS3.
Diversity means wider appeal.
Its going to be huge friggin massive woo hoo.
Lets wait to May 21st. Right now we know nothing.
Xbox is a way of life for me, and while I have all the consoles, my Xbox is the go-to guy for everything, even if I'm not in the moodfor gaming, my Xbox is always on for one reason or another. So close! #XboxReveal
You remind me of a pro Xbox guy that made a lot of sense on here his name was EvilDead360. I'm glad to see another pro Xbox guy that talks sense and not nonsense
EvilDead still posts, I think if he and I have shown anything it's that there is a way to have a positive opinions about Xbox without trolling or arguing with people.
I was actually surprised to get bubbled up recently, especially since I tend to get a ton of disagrees, but I think a lot of pro Xbox people here on this site identify with what I'm saying, even if they are too intimidated to say it. I'm happy to speak my mind when it comes to gaming, and I've garnered a few good followers doing so.
Sadly no, I'm just a lifelong gamer who is really excited for the next #XboxReveal, not sure why you asked my age, but hopefully you realize the average gamer age is mid 30's, and even though I'm not THAT old, I still get as pumped as ever for reveals!
"but I think a lot of pro Xbox people here on this site identify with what I'm saying"
I wouldn't necessarily call it "pro Xbox" unless they made unjustified irrational statements hating on other consoles.
I'd say, you just think logically compared to the majority of this site.
What, are you 10? There isn't even a point you're trying to make in your comment. Also, learn to use comma's so you can at-least ACT mature.
"upcoming x360 exclusives:

jump out"
I just wanted to post that to show why sometimes N4G is considered a laughing stock. That was an PM i got from another member a little while ago.....lol All that just because I said something ok about xbox.
You seem rather upset about it.Truth hurts, sometimes.
"You seem rather upset about it.Truth hurts, sometimes.
Yep, because tomorrow that's all you fanboys are gonna be doing....dealing with the truth ......lol
Implying you, yourself are not a fanboy? Thats a sign of delusion, my friend.
Tip: Keep your expectations low, and maybe you'll actually be impressed with their event.
Im looking forward too see wat MS will show.
And another thing, just change your settings to hide people with less than three bubbles. And start blocking. It will be less arguments with trolls. Especially after May 21.

why is baseball and basketball such a sucessful sport, plus the million dollars contract. why?
sort by best latest
Exposure, habit, heritage. They are "big" sports too, for big people. But both were somewhat invented in America though similar games were played centuries ago. Million dollar contracts are to generate even more millions for the owners. Whatever the market will bear is the rule of economics.
But as in most arena sports, people play them as children and if people can't do anymore - people watch - the world over.
I am not a spectator. I am still participating in cycling after a youth with the rest- football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc.

The John Galliano label sent out its fall-winter collection on Sunday in the intimate surroundings of a Parisian salon -- and in a far more relaxed atmosphere after a dramatic week that saw the British designer's sudden fall from grace.
In lieu of Galliano's signature taste for bigger-than-life theatrics, the lower-key presentation saw models in outfits with unmistakeable 1920s silhouettes emerging from a mirrored door into a nouveau-riche drawing room.
Notable among the guests was Sidney Toledano, chief executive of Christian Dior, which abruptly fired Galliano -- who faces trial for making alleged anti-Semitic remarks -- on Tuesday, the first day of Paris fashion week.
"In trying times, you have to move forward and stay the course," Toledano told AFP, adding that while he has never missed a John Galliano show, he wanted this time "to be here to support the teams" who put the looks together.
Christian Dior, a cornerstone of French tycoon Bernard Arnault's luxury goods empire, holds a majority stake in the John Galliano label.
The mood was far more relaxed in comparision to the funeral-like mood at the full-scale Christian Dior show on Friday where Toledano firmly distanced the venerable Parisian fashion house from its chief designer of 15 years.

Ann Curry has confirmed what we've suspected for the past week. She will not being returning as co-host of the 'Today Show'.
"This is not easy to say," a choked-up Curry, 55, announced on Thursday's show, as her costars sat on the sofa next to her. She said Thursday would be her last day as a regular on the show, but "I will still be part of the Today show family, in a different role."
Curry will remain with NBC, however, but in a new role. She'll return to her foreign reporting roots – effective immediately.
With tears in her eyes she continued with, "To those of you who saw me as a groundbreaker, I am sorry that could not carry the ball across the finish line – but, man, did I try."
Take a closer look at what curry had to say.

Curry will likely be succeeded by Savannah Guthrie, whose currently the show's legal analyst and 9 a.m. anchor.

Discussion in 'Motorhome Accessories' started by Scattycat, Jun 20, 2014.
Hi, has anybody got or had a Snipe selfsat?
I'd be interested in folks experience, good or bad
I asked the same question a few months ago, all the replies were very positive, so much so we are having one fitted with our PVC conversion, when it arrives.
One point to watch though, the warranty, it requires the supplier to fit, and they will collect for repair (hopefully not required) if self fitted, you will be responsible for returning to supplier for any repair work. It does come in a substantial carry case.
Finally, I see Jim now stocks them in his online shop, at a very keen price.
I spite of the warranty issue, I do think it is a good investment.:thumb:

What command ( show full command line) you use for set boot device ?
General, for setting boot device on SPARC platform use Solaris command: eeprom boot-device=net
Or OBP command: setenv boot-device net
From SP:
set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv boot-device net"

2. Re: IPMITOOL - change the booting device from disk to network903768 Dec 6, 2011 10:40 PM (in response to Nik)Thanks.
The host machine is Sparc Sun T3. It is not x86 hardware.
Ideally I would like to use ipmitool to change the boot device. The commands I am running are the following:
ipmitool -I lanplus -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U root -P tom chassis bootdev pxe clear-cmos=yes
ipmitool -I lanplus -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U root -P tom chassis bootparam set bootflag force_pxe
Both commands run to successful but no effect on changing the boot device.
I tried with obp command and SP command like you mentioned below, both are not change the boot order. Not tired eeprom yet.
ideally i want to write a shell script which when run would connect to ilom of Sun T3 Sparc and run change the boot device.

3. Re: IPMITOOL - change the booting device from disk to network903768 Dec 7, 2011 1:23 AM (in response to 903768)Hi,
Using obp, I am able to change the boot device to net. The command I used is "setenv boot-device net"
Now the interesting part it is needed to issue this command for the changes to take effect. Type "reset-all". I could clearly see that the boot order is changed and the system starts booting from the net.
I want to do something like this just using ipmitool. Where I run the command and set the boot device and run a command similar to reset-all?
Secondly using ilom for sp, i still do not have procedure that works. Remmember, it allows to change the boot order but it just don't work.

Differential gains from Business Link support and advice: a treatment effects approach
The provision of advisory support to small firms is almost ubiquitous in OECD countries, although it is organised in different ways and is justified on slightly different grounds. In England publicly supported advisory services are provided through the Business Link (BL) network. Here, we consider two questions: what sort of companies receive advisory support from BL; and, what types of firms benefit most from that support? Our analysis is based on a telephone survey of 2000 firms, around half of which had received intensive assistance from BL between April and October 2003. Probit analysis suggests that the probability of receiving assistance was greater among younger businesses, those with larger numbers of directors in the firm, and those with more gender diversity among the firm's leadership team. Our business-growth models suggest that BL intensive assistance was having a positive effect on employment growth in 2003. BL had a positive but insignificant impact on sales growth over the period. Employment growth effects tend to be larger where firms have a management and organisational structure, which is more conducive to absorbing and making use of external advice. The analysis suggests that BL might increase its impact through targeting these larger, more export-orientated, businesses. Employment growth effects differ little, however, depending on either the ethnic or the gender diversity of the leadership team.

Taste bud type II cells fire action potentials in response to tastants, triggering non-vesicular ATP release to gustatory neurons via voltage-gated CALHM1-associated ion channels. Whereas CALHM1 regulates mouse cortical neuron excitability, its roles in regulating type II cell excitability are unknown. Here, we compared membrane conductances and action potentials in single identified TRPM5-GFP-expressing circumvallate papillae type II cells acutely isolated from wild-type (WT) and Calhm1-knockout (KO) mice. The activation kinetics of large voltage-gated outward currents were accelerated in cells from Calhm1-KO mice, and their associated non-selective tail currents, previously shown to be highly correlated with ATP release, were completely absent in Calhm1-KO cells, suggesting that CALHM1 contributes to all of these currents. Calhm1 deletion did not significantly alter resting membrane potential or input resistance, the amplitudes and kinetics of Na+ currents either estimated from action potentials or recorded from steady-state voltage-pulses, or action potential threshold, overshoot peak, after-hyperpolarization and firing frequency. However, Calhm1-deletion reduced the half-widths of action potentials and accelerated the deactivation kinetics of transient outward currents, suggesting that the CALHM1-associated conductance becomes activated during the repolarization phase of action potentials.

Touring Miami's up-and-coming Wynwood neighborhood gave PSFK a beautiful insight into a deliberately evolving district
Miami is in a state of metamorphosis; to see it in action, take a step away from downtown, recuse yourself from Miami Beach, and instead head to Wynwood, the city's unique take on the gentrifying neighborhood.
Replete with street art from amateur to renowned artists, there isn't a single element of this place that doesn't feel cutting-edge and unrestrained. Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of visiting the area with local Marco Botero, who showed us around and made sure we took note of every splendid detail.
Wynwood feels like a young upstart trying to make a reputation for itself in a big-name world; it's trying to carve out a permanent niche in a city of temporary visitors and high rollers. The neighborhood addresses a question this city has long tried to answer: what elements of this place make people want to stay?
Art is a start, and good street art certainly appeals to the recent college grads looking for a new home.
To imbue a sense of culture and permanence into this community, the city of Miami has commissioned many, many artists to help personalize the neighborhood. Street art has long since evolved past its rustic origins and, as artists realize the value of their work, turned into a valuable commodity.
Every year Wynwood puts on one of the world's premier street art festivals, ArtBasel, where the area's growing number of galleries showcase pieces from the field's best and brightest. This is also where the medium's impermanence rears its head, as many of the previous year's installations through the neighborhood are replaced with the next's.
One element that remains preserved by Basel are the Wynwood Walls, which feature pieces from Shepard Fairey, Fafi, and Faile amongst others. The Shepard piece, one of the area's keystones, includes a tribute to Tony Goldman, an early investor in Wynwood and New York's West Village, who recognized that where there is art, there is culture and community.
Today the neighborhood has all the hallmarks of a gentrification, from luxury stores to startup incubators like The Lab. Our impromptu tour was a fantastic insight in a similar, yet different, process that has happened, and is happening, in cities across the world; we can't wait to see what this means for Miami as a whole.

Quistgaard reflects: Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College president looks forward to retirement, offers advice to successor
Jon Quistgaard, president of Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College, will leave with good feelings.
"I feel people have treated me probably better than they should have," Quistgaard said. "I will miss students the most. I'll miss my colleagues. I'll miss many of my friends here."
Richard Hanson, who was announced as the new president Wednesday, will take office July 12. Once Hanson completes his transition as president, Quistgaard said he will officially retire.
Quistgaard, known as "Q" by students and staff on campus, shares the following advice with his successor: Enjoy every day because a president's time goes very quickly. And take energy from your students.
"I have every confidence that this president will become successful and continue to grow the college and university," Quistgaard said. "I think he will be a good fit. He's a person of vision and high energy. He's got a great sense of humor. I think he has a lot of experience that will be really valuable in these times."
As a person who has worked a fulltime job since he was a teenager, Quistgaard said he doesn't expect to become a couch potato when he retires.
He said he looks forward to being a grandfather for the first time. He hopes to write a book, do consulting work within higher education and volunteer in the community.
When asked if students will see him on campus, Quistgaard smiled as he said, "They'll see me, but I think it's important that I create some space for the new president. I want to make sure the new president has a chance to spread his wings."
Quistgaard started his career at the University of Arizona, where he earned his doctorate in political science, before returning to Bemidji. At BSU, he was dean of graduate studies, associate vice president for academic affairs and vice president for academic and student affairs. He became BSU's ninth president in August 2001 and was named president of NTC two years later.
Since Quistgaard has been at the helm of BSU and NTC, he said he's seen changes in technology, enrollment, funding and demographics.
With diversity, enrollment has increased at both institutions and diversified to include students from more than 30 states and 40 countries.
Both institutions have seen higher enrollment numbers in recent years.
"I'm really pleased with that," he said. "Northern Minnesota is facing a declining enrollment at most of its high schools, so for the university and the college to be able to grow is a real compliment."
Quistgaard said he's seen more adults return to school and more military veterans seeking high educational opportunities, which he's honored by.
"Both institutions have become a bit more diversified," he said. "Diversity has been a high priority for me. I wish we could've achieved more of it but we're working on it."
According to Quistgaard, BSU and NTC have also attracted a broader range of faculty and staff from across the country.
"It's been a goal of mine since I was vice president for academic affairs to try to diversify where our faculty and staff are coming from so they bring a broader range of experiences and backgrounds to our university," he said.
Above all, Quistgaard said he feels his biggest accomplishment can be seen at commencement every year.
"That's where I see our greatest achievements," he said. "For me it's all about student success and the success of our graduates."
When asked what makes BSU and NTC unique, Quistgaard said it is the people.
"There's something special here," he said. "We go that extra mile for students. We push, prod and motivate them. We do that the whole time they're with us. That's what the Bemidji difference is."
He added he is proud of BSU and NTC's small class sizes and low student-teacher ratios.
"We probably have the smallest average class sizes at the upper division level of any of the state university," he said. "To do that, we charge a little bit more, but we think that having that strong mentor relationship between students and faculty is really important."
In looking to the future, Quistgaard said he sees three main challenges.
BSU and NTC, like all state colleges and universities, he said, will likely see less state financial support in the future. He said the next president will have to balance the lack of state-assisted funding with keeping educational costs down for students.
Another future challenge, Quistgaard said, will be overcoming a decreasing percentage of graduates from high schools in Northern Minnesota and keeping enrollment numbers strong.
He added both institutions will also need to attain adequate funding to make sure its programs are of high quality.
Despite future challenges, Quistgaard said he has high hopes for the continuing partnership between BSU and NTC.
"During my time, my primary charge and responsibility was to make sure we stabilized NTC so it would be a viable institution," Quistgaard said. "That's been achieved. So now, it's time for the next president's new vision. We can now offer a full palette of educational opportunities here that most institutions are probably only getting around to contemplating."
In reflecting on his career, one of the advantages of being at a smaller university, Quistgaard said, was that he was able to get to know students and staff on a personal level.
"I'll miss that day-to-day contact with students and hearing them talk about their dreams, aspirations and what they want to achieve," he said.
Throughout his 30-year career at BSU and his presidency at NTC, Quistgaard said he'll leave knowing he worked with the best students and the best faculty and staff.
"I've been associated with a number of institutions in my career, and I've never seen the devotion that I've seen here," he said. "I can truly say the staff is all about student success. They don't think of themselves first."
He said he continues to believe in the vision of BSU and NTC and hopes it continues to shape potential in students.
"Sometimes people in northern Minnesota underestimate their potential," he said. "Our alumni achieve at the highest level in every profession in every place around this world. The true greatness of both these institutions is still in front of us."

Sean Burch, Nepal Goodwill Ambassador
Posted: Nov 04, 2010 10:47 am EDT
The Nepal Tourism Board held a press conference in Kathmandu, acknowledging Sean Burchs achievement with his run across Nepal, following the Great Himalaya Trail. Sean and the NTB announced further cooperation to help develop communities living along the GHT and he will receive a Goodwill Ambassadorship from Nepal.
ExplorersWebs Correne Coetzer attended the press conference.
When walking into the NTB building, Sean Burch cant be missed his 6 4 athletic body is much taller than the average Nepalese. Looking much younger than his 40 years, his strides are relaxed and long and he has definitely lost weight; 15 kg, he told ExplorersWeb. He didnt crave food during the run, but he missed his favorite sashimi.
The leeches and the late monsoon rains at the beginning of the expedition were the worst. He said to ExplorersWeb, before the run he never thought those two issues would be such a challenge. The leeches attacked unnoticed and when the damage was done it was too late to do something about them.
Despite the leeches, rain, landslides, high altitude, hypothermia and extreme daily mental and physical exhaustion Sean completed the 1,250 mile / 2000 km run in a world record time of 49 days, 6 hours and 8 minutes; 19 days faster than the previous record.
The estimated time for the trek by expedition companies in Nepal is about 157 days. Sean originally planned a 60-day itinerary. However, the support teams were pushed hard and new porters were brought in as much as possible, giving them lighter loads, as they could go faster and for longer hours it paid off.
Sean took over 2.6 million steps and tackled elevation gains and losses of over 500,000 ft.
Local community development
He crossed 18 districts during the run. Sean and the Nepal Tourism Board announced that he will be working with them to promote tourism and living conditions in these remote areas.
His expedition was facilitated by the Nepal Trust, led in-field by local, indigenous support staff, and aimed not only to promote the upcoming mega campaign of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 by placing focus on mountain tourism in Nepal, but also to encourage social groups, private sectors, government bodies and individuals to assist the local communities that are living along the Great Himalaya Trail in their social and economic development.
CONTACT Technology
During the press conference Sean as well as Jeroen van den Bergh, the Nepal and UK representative of the Nepal Trust, told the press how impressed they were with the CONTACT Technology, Fly-ins and map that Sean used to report about his daily activities and progress.
Goodwill Ambassadorship
Today Sean is on his way back to the USA. On November 8 he will meet the Government of Nepals Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation, the Honble Sarat Singha Bhandari at the Nepal Embassy in Washington DC. During a ceremony there he will be honored by receiving a Goodwill Ambassadorship from the Minister.
Oldest man to climb Everest
Also attending the press conference was Min Banadur Sherchan from Nepal, the oldest person to climb Everest. He was born on 20 June 1931 and reached the summit on 25 May 2008 at the age of 76 years and 340 days. He also became the oldest person to summit any 8000er.
He presented Explorersweb with a Guinness World record certificate of his achievement. A great honor for ExplorersWeb to receive it.
Sean Burch is well known for his super-fast ascents on high mountains and crossed Nepal on foot from border-to-border (India to Tibet) on the Great Himalaya Trail. He will be doing over 500,000 feet of climbing and running at altitudes over 20,000 ft / 6000 meter. Sean planed to run and climb 10-15 hours a day to complete the trail in 60 days. He says the average time for doing this trail is 157 days.
He started his run/trek/climb on August 22, 2010.
The American lives the Washington D.C. area. His favorite foods are sashimi and venison. The last book he read is Tears in the Darkness - about the Bataan death march and his favorite movies are Spinal Tap and Best in Show.
Sean follows a Hyperfitness Living mental, physical, and nutritional program and has achieved the following:
- World Record: Fastest Winter Ascent of Mt. Fuji, Japan: 4:05:42
- World Record: 63 Summits of Unclimbed Peaks in 23 Days, Solo, Tibet
- Guinness World Record: Fastest Ascent of Mt. Kilimanjaro: 5:28:48
- Guinness World Record: Fastest Time for Northern Most Marathon (First Marathon and wearing snowshoes)
- First Place: North Pole Marathon
- Mt. Everest (29,035ft): Summit, Solo, and almost completely without bottled oxygen
- Guinness World Record: Jump Rope at Altitude 26,181ft.
- USA Record Speed Ascent, Aconcagua (22,841ft.): Solo, Argentina, Highest Peak in Southern and Western Hemisphere
- First in World: 14 1st Ascents, 2 Solo 1st Ascents Previously Unmapped and Unexplored Mountain Areas within Arctic Circle in East Greenland
- Shishapangma (26,552ft.): Summit, 13th Highest Mountain in the World, Tibet, No Bottled Oxygen
- First in World: 3 1st Ascents, St. Elias Range, Alaska
Sean is a freelance writer, who wrote the highly received fitness/wellness book,
Hyperfitness, 12 Weeks to Conquering Your Inner Everest and Getting into the Best Shape of Your Life (click here) (Published by Penguin Group USA) and DVD video supplements. The book is also available at Amazon.com and other Internet bookstores.
He will be raising funds and awareness for the Nepal Trust Organization www.nepaltrust.org, and the Love Hope Strength foundation www.lovehopestrength.org/site. The non-profit Nepal Trust organizations current project works in Nepal are in primary healthcare, renewable energy, education, sustainable tourism and heritage preservation. The Love Hope Strength Foundation in the U.S. campaigns to save lives for those with cancer.
Another focus is his eagerness to bring attention to the very remote 'Hidden Himalaya' of Nepal, where Sean will be:
1) documenting historic and very famous Buddhist monasteries (many previously unseen by Westerners), and their cultural diversities; and
2) joining school children in the U.S. with children in makeshift schools in remote Himalayan villages.
Sean Burch was the first to use the new CONTACT-Augmented in addition to CONTACT-5 to report during the 60 days on the Nepal trail.

text: Greed vs. Charity Spirit of Greed and Avarice: Mammon is his name. Drives his host unmercifully to play his greedy game. With cupidity comes the burden of this wolf of hell Sent to inflame your heart and take back what might you sell To gamble or to ladder-climb, it's really all the same Let not the pursuit of only money, bring you to this shame For the love of money is said to be the root of all evil And one cannot serve both God and this devil. It blocks one's good sense of true charity. So be not thrown into spiritual-austerity. Don't sell your soul and make yourself a slave. It will cause you to lose all that which Heaven gave. For all the modern comforts for which we toil in vain Will break and rot and rust… our body and our brain 'Oh Lord, let me be neither rich nor desperately poor. For riches turn their possessor into a proud conceited boar. But as a beggar I might be tempted to thievery and fraud. Therefore provide me just my daily bread, oh my Lord my God.'* *Paraphrase of Proverbs 30 So as a token of thanks, make of your first fruits a donation. By sharing with less fortunate, you share with Him your elation But being charitable is much more than paying alms or even tax. We are to share all the goodness of our hearts and head and hands and backs. So repent, teach, and model righteousness for all, or what is even better Share your faith, breaking loose both yours and your neighbor's fetter. Be active in your charity, but not for pride or show. What you do quietly the Father will surely know. And you will receive your heavenly treasure back again a million manifold. It does your soul, not an ounce of good, to pocket that extra ounce of gold. Do not store up things on earth where they may be lost to moth, or thief, or rust. Deposit rather labors bounty, for heart will follow too, in vaults of Heaven's Trust. Remember, No one can serve two masters, That is to say both God and Greed. For in giving your devotion to one you will neglect, yes lose the other, guaranteed. But one of the two will enslave you, in the other you are freed. So trust in Him, like the Seraphim, to give you what you need.

Did you notice it? The eggnog in the dairy case at the store…
It's beckoning you.
Since Christmas music and plastic Santas now show up in stores before Halloween, they can't be trusted with the duty of ringing in the Christmas season. They blew it in a big way, and the torch must be passed.
So now, the official sign of the holidays for me is the quiet, yet giddy return of the eggnog.
So as I sit down with my first of many glasses of eggnog this season, I thought it was appropriate to rewrite an old gem of a blog post from long ago. And by "long ago," I mean last year, because that's when my blog started.
Yes, to me eggnog is the perfect holiday beverage. Dare I say, it is the finest beverage ever invented since melted ice cream. It is truly fit for a king's grail, wedding toasts, or christening ships. I postulate that lactose intolerant people give up celebrating Christmas, because it just isn't worth it. Eggnog is the most appropriate beverage for Christmas, and Christmas is the most appropriate day for eggnog.
And that being the case, that means that every other day is a slightly less appropriate one for eggnog. The most inappropriate day for eggnog? June 25. That's Jesus' un-birthday. Jesus doesn't celebrate un-birthdays; he thinks they're stupid. In fact, if your birthday is on June 25, I'd just keep that a secret.
Yes, the occasions for the viscous dairy treat are very specific, and we risk hurting ourselves should we attempt to make eggnog a part of inappropriate activities. The government tries to protect us by outlawing it before Thanksgiving. However, there are still plenty of opportunities to make eggnog a completely inappropriate choice for liquid refreshment even during the holiday season. I submit to you some occasions and places where eggnog is a bad choice:
The Movies
Good idea: sneaking candy and a small soda into the theater in your wife's purse. Cheap snacks, and she takes the fall if you get caught by that teenage usher with the baton flashlight.
Better idea: Flaunting the rules in an awesomely inappropriate way by sneaking in not just a small bottle, but a ludicrous amount of eggnog to the movies in your wife's purse.
If theaters don't want patrons sneaking in eggnog, they should sell it themselves. I think it would be worth it and awesome to get caught by one of the ushers with more eggnog than any one person could possibly drink in one sitting. Say, a couple of half gallons. It just makes me think of Dan Ackroyd stuffing that giant salmon under his filthy gray Santa beard in Trading Places.
The Gym
Maybe you've been booking it on the treadmill for like 10 minutes, and if you're anything like me, you're about to pass out. Actually, if you're anything like me, you're laughing quietly at the person on the treadmill while eating a chicken fried steak.
Anyway, the sweat is dripping off of you. So you take your squirt bottle and squeeze it into your mouth, and maybe a little on your head and dab yourself with a stale gym towel. If you're in a Gatorade commercial, you dump Gatorade on your head, because everyone knows flavored sugar water is better for cooling off than regular water.
Know what isn't good for cooling off during a sweaty workout? Eggnog. Try as you might, it just doesn't work. Know what the worst combination of smells is? Gym sweat, regurgitated eggnog, and a bunch of strangers' 'sympathy' vomit. That's what you will have.
The Cocktail Party
To a lot of people, one of the highlights of the holidays is putting on a fuzzy sweater and sharing some "holiday cheer" in a champagne flute, and then inarticulately "singing" the New Year's song. (Kind of like how we "sing" the National Anthem.) Some amateur might feel it's appropriate to put eggnog on his turbulent tummy after a few cocktails. This is a guarantee no one will meet you under the mistletoe, ever. There's some kind of college frat-boy adage, "beer before liquor – never been sicker." A similar old adage applies here, "booze before eggnog, you're an idiot."
The Nursing Home
Let's be honest. Eggnog bloats your digestive tract and makes you smell like death. And when it comes to old people, their sense of hearing and smell has probably deteriorated. Combine that with that general "who cares, I'm 96" attitude that old people get, and you have a recipe for disaster.
I'm on the fence here. While eggnog is a beverage fit for a king's grail, would it really be fit for the holy grail? I'm inclined to say yes, yes it is. If I were one of the twelve disciples, I would've made sure there was eggnog available. Then again, eggnog might send all the Catholics into some kind of existential crisis or something. Maybe the Baptists could pull it off, since it's just a memorial to them anyway…provided you keep the booze out of it.
On second thought, better just steer clear of that one.
Eggnog is great, but only in the right places, kind of like dogs or children or Sean Penn.
Actually, that's a pretty good rule of thumb. Any place you wouldn't want to see Sean Penn, you shouldn't bring eggnog. Please refer to the above. See what I mean? I think I'm on to something.
What other places and times would delicious eggnog be a terrible choice?

This one just makes me grin. :D Especially as my cousin lives in Roswell, New Mexico. She would love this!
This was finished so early, if it weren't Scott's birthday I'd get a bunch more setting work finished on Selvages. But being the day it is, I'd rather set my attention elsewhere. ;D
Have you worked on any of your BOMs or interval-work projects this past week?
Any projects broken into weekly or monthly units are welcome in addition to true BOMs. Share your eye candy and show off your progress since the last time you linked up! There are some wonderful monthly and weekly projects going on out there.

This is one of my favorite comments ever posted on this site, by Meg:
"Every time my husband asks me when we can retire, I tell him that depends on whether he wants to live in a $50K, $500K, or $5M home… We could retire today if we wanted to downsize to the "extreme!"
I love it because it sums up EVERYTHING about money and what we want to accomplish in life. And you can swap it out with a number of other things and it will still remain just as true:
Every time my husband asks me when we can retire, I tell him that depends on whether he wants to drive a $2,000, $20,000 or $200,000 car…
Every time my girlfriend asks me when she can retire, I tell her that depends on whether she wants 10 shoes, 30 shoes, or 300 shoes…
Every time my friends asks me when they can retire, I tell 'em that depends on where they want to drink their drank: at home, at da club or on the motha f*ing boat!
And the game goes on… It's all about the priorities :)
Of course, there are other factors that go into retirement too, such as:
- How bad you actually want to retire / become financially free
- How hard you are willing to work to get there
- What stage of life you're in
- How much debt you've racked up
- How long you've been reading Budgets Are Sexy ;)
- And how much confidence you have that any of this is even possible? (see below)
But in its most simplest terms, freedom comes down to two basic areas: how much you need to survive, and how much you have banked. Tweak either side and the picture shifts – there are no right or wrong answers. You DO, however, need to know what you truly want deep down inside so you can get cranking on the details.
Download this spreadsheet I made up the other month to give you a good snapshot of where you currently stand financially. It's based on cold hard numbers alone, and it will tell you exactly what the deal is pretty quickly!
If you're happy with it, continue on! If not, take some time today and really think about what trajectory you're on and what changes might need to be made. Regardless of what you say to yourself/others, the places you spend your money are the exact areas you're prioritizing right now. Are your goals aligned correctly?
And lest you think I'm Mr. Perfect myself, may I remind you I have enough financial skeletons in my own closet to supply a Halloween super store :) They're being crushed one by one over time, but my story is a work in progress just the same.
For some pretty inspiring stories, check out these folks we've featured here over time. I'm not nearly as motivating as they are!
- How Jeremy quit his job and retired in his 30s
- How Steven paid off $48,000 of debt in 2 years
- How Will graduated college with $100,000… of savings
- How MY MOM can retire any time she wants (true story)
- Proof that you can live off 50% of your income
When J. Money asks you when you'll be able to retire, what are you going to tell him? :)
Bonus tip: Find a good "balance transfer" offer to help pay off debt faster!
If you've been making payment after payment (on time) and still haven't been able to get your debt under control, snatching up a good balance transfer credit card offer may be the ticket to try. That's where in order to gain your business - credit card companies will let you transfer your existing debt to a new card and let you pay ZERO PERCENT interest on it. Saving you tons every month!
What's the catch? Usually balance transfer cards charge a fee (around 3% of your debt balance) to let you transfer your balance to their 0% interest offer. But we've found a great credit card that will let you do a balance transfer absolutely free. Click here to learn more and see if you qualify!
PS: If you don't trust yourself with another credit card, ignore this! This strategy is to help you get out of debt quicker, not risk adding more to it.

Flexible Cutting Mats
How we tested
In the test kitchen, we avoid cross-contamination (passing bacteria from one food to another) by using different cutting boards for meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. Restaurants often do the same thing, but having a cupboard at home devoted to four cutting boards seems excessive—and expensive.
Flexible cutting mats (also called chopping mats) are a perfect supplement to a single cutting board. They are thin enough to be rolled up like a newspaper yet sturdy enough to withstand the strike of a blade. Cut up chicken for a stir-fry, toss it out of the way in the sink, and then proceed, safely, with the veggies. Flexible mats are also great for transferring ingredients: Simply roll up the mat and funnel food right into the pan.
A set of two flexible cutting mats can cost as little as $5, but we liked a $10 set. All six mats are dishwasher-safe, and they are thicker (and stronger) than the competition.

Dota 2 Imba Heroes
Witch Doctor
Type: Intelligent
Role: Support
Description: A wiry silhouette hitches forward–uneven of feature and limb, bizarre of gait, relentlessly criss-crossing the battlefield in search of that vital weak point where his talents can do most good, and most harm. Whether broken or mismade it is not clear, but still, none can doubt the power carried in his twisted physique. A long staff thumps the earth as the Witch Doctor advances, deploying a terrifying arsenal of fetishes, hexes and spells. It is a body of magical knowledge learned over several lifetimes in the island highlands of Prefectura, now wielded with precision accuracy against his enemies. Witch Doctor is your best friend, or your worst enemy–healing allies and laying waste to all who oppose him.
Witch Doctor is a fragile but deadly spellcaster with a unique method of eliminating his foes. His Maledict ability is feared by all, and has the potential for enormous amounts of damage. Heroes under the effect of Maledict will continue to take damage based on how much damage they have taken already. Using Paralyzing Casks, a clever Witch Doctor immobilizes his target, casts Maledict on them, then proceeds to cause as much damage as possible before they run. This is nearly always fatal if the Witch Doctor and his allies can injure the target a good amount after it is Maledicted. To aid in the destruction of his enemies, Witch Doctor can plant a potent Death Ward, which rapidly attacks nearby heroes as long as Witch Doctor channels it. Combined with Maledict and Paralyzing Cask, Death Ward is practically a guaranteed kill when ambushing an unsuspecting enemy hero. Voodoo Restoration turns him into a mobile healing fountain, quickly restoring the life of the Doctor and his allies in case an ambush doesn't go according to plan. Although Witch Doctor's Maledict combo is lethal on its own, it is even more dangerous when combined with allied attacks and spells.
Skills: 1st Paralyzing Cask, 2nd Voodoo Restoration, 3rd Maledict, 4th Death Ward
Build: 1, 3, 1, 3, 3, 4 – 1, 3, 1, 2, 4, 2
Starting Items: Bottle or Courier, Tango, Branch x3, Clarity Potion or Circlet x2, Branch x2, Healing Salve, Observer Ward
Early Items: Power Threads (STR), Magic Wand, Urn of Shadows, Wraith Band (from the Circlet purchased earlier)
Additional: Aghanism's Scepter or Eul's Scepter of Divinity, Shadow Blade or Ghost Scepter
Late Items: Black King Bar, and any of the following Orchid Malevolence, Scythe of Vyse
Options: Heart of Tarrasque, Blood Stone, Necronomicon, Mekansm, Boots of Travel, Dagon

Letter(s) from Irena to Rune (Denmark)
Letter 1
Hi dear Rune!
Thank you for your letter!
As you know my name is Ira. You can also call me Irene.
I want to tell you a bit more to let you know better who I am to start our communication.
I live in Rivne. Better to say near it. My parents live there in their house. I often go to see them - almost every weekend.
Because I am a student I moved to the town and rented a room closer to my university.
I can't afford renting the whole apartment for myself. So far I share it with a landlady.
She is old and lives in another room.
I'm 20. I'm on my 4 year of studying. My future profession will be a teacher of Ukrainian language and literature. I also work as an assistant (we call it laborant) at my department. I help with paperwork and some documents for the teaching process.
If you are interested about my measurements, my height is 160 cm, weight is 53 kg.
Waiting for your answer with information about yourself!!
I really want to know you!
Letter 2
Hi my dear Rune!
Thank you for more details about yourself! :)
I hope that you will like my sphere of interests too.
I am 20 like I wrote you, there was a mistake on the site.
I don't smoke & never will. All of my friends are non-smokers & I always prefer non-smoking restaurants.
You too?
I have never been abroad & but I'd like to. Every country is fascinating & I'd like to get to know it not from books but in reality!
I m looking for a man that will be my support in all spheres and the one that will show me the world and other attitude. Not like the men here that are rude, do nothing else except drinking beer.
About my studying, well, now it's getting really hot by which I mean that I'm having finals & that is very important for me. My attitude to studying is serious so I pay much attention to that. Also 4th year is the time when I'll be getting my Bachelor's degree - so I'm doing my best. I'm sure that I'll find a job - I 'm not speaking about a highly-paid one. But teachers of Ukrainian are popular - unlike teachers of Russian here. My plan for the nearest future is to learn English. I haven't told you this, but I use a translation firm to help me. I know a little though but not enough to express what I want to say. I hope that it's fine with you!
I hope that you ll find this photo attractive!
Letter 3
Hi my dearest Rune!
Days are great despite a lot of work at the department.
Our whole department decided to go for a picnic to the countryside. All the teachers, professors will go. Assistants like me & others were also invited.
We are going by bus & will spend the whole day there. The place belongs to our university – it's like a sports base in the forest. So we ll have the outing there. It will be on Saturday. It s a good refreshing for my routine - we will play volleyball, badminton, have competitions - it is so much fun!
How do you have picnics? Fun for you? ?
Ok. I have to run now!
Will be waiting for your letter!
Letter 4
My dear Rune!
Sorry that I can't write you every day! I know that abroad it's so comfortable – there is Internet access everywhere & everybody has computers. I don't really need a computer for my studying – only for writing some papers. But everybody usually does it handwritten & then gives to a printing service center to type & print the work. I can assume that there abroad people do it differently.
So like I've written – I wish I could write you more often. After my studying or sometimes in the morning I come to this place where I write you letters with my translator. She is nice. Young & friendly. She knows the language very well & even has been abroad. Actually everybody around here is attentive & really helpful. I see from your letters that they translate exactly what I want to say! ? That's how you and I understand each other & thanks to their professionalism our communication continues! I'm really glad about it! Do you agree? ? Yes, the place is really nice & I'm glad that I'm using exactly their help.
Speaking about help, I was wondering if you could help me continue this communication. The thing is that I'm running out of means. It would be really sad not to be able to receive your letters for a while. to be able to save some more & pay for the service of the translator & get back to you again. Quite a while may pass… I don't want to lose you & the joy that I get from receiving your letters! You really brighten me existence. It's great to know that there is someone out there that is not like everyone else. That this someone is special & caring!
I hope that we'll be able to solve this complication & will go through it without losing each other! I don't want to tell you the terms of the service – I'm not that competent, don't really understand it all. I'd rather give you the contact: email@example.com. Please write them & ask them to explain you. I'm sure that they will understand out situation!
Sorry that I'm not writing about anything else but that is all that worries me now. I don't want to lose you...
On the whole things are going well.
Hugs & kisses

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
13:49 29 September 2012
Back in 1914, Hugh Blaker, an artist and a critic from Isleworth, West London, bought a second Mona Lisa picture. Compared to the original Mona Lisa painting the world knows, the second painting was bigger and Mona Lisa's smile was slightly jollier.
This is the painting that will be unveiled in Geneva on Friday.
The owner, a Swiss consortium, claims that – as reported by the Mail Online - this painting was the first one created by Leonardo da Vinci and that the one in Louvre in Paris was his second attempt to create the same picture.
Although some people within the art world claim the second Mona Lisa picture was a creation of Leonardo's, some are skeptical.
The director of the Museo Ideale Leonardo da Vinci, Alessandro Vezzosi, is one of the people who is reportedly backing the theory. On Friday, he will be joined by Carlo Pedretti, from the University of California, in presenting historical, comparative, and scientific evidence to support the claim.
On the other hand, portrait expert Philip Mould isn't convinced as he told the Mail Online: "I would have to be deeply skeptical. You must remember that about one new supposed Mona Lisa turns up on the market every year. You'd have to look at the provenance and history of this one very, very carefully."

Hogan will launch Future Roots, an initiative supporting creative personalities worldwide tomorrow night in Milan. From artists to architects and designers, the exhibit will highlight each individual in their workspace along with a signature item that marks their persona. The presentation will be curated by Donata Sartorio featuring photography by Ornella Sancassani.
"The future cannot be other than a forward projection" says Mario Bellini, architect, "A further development, which starts from the consciousness of your roots." The Italian brand which was essentially inspired by a cricket shoe, is a supporter of creative endeavors, forming collaborations in the past with designers like Thakoon and Karl Lagerfeld.
