By Dr. Joel KahnAs seen on Mind, Body, Green
On most days, I go to work, put on my white coat, load my stethoscope in my pocket, and make visits in the hospital and my office as I've done for over 20 years. I am the "master of my domain" and it's very unlikely that anything will disrupt my calm.This day, however, is different. I am about to walk into court as an expert witness on a billion-dollar medical patent lawsuit. Each table has 15 lawyers from the largest firms in the country. My testimony will go on for hours and will be taken by Mr. S, famous for his loud red ties, his loud mannerisms, and his ability to make witnesses shake. I know my stuff cold but I need to steady my nerves. I lean against the wall, close my eyes, and go through a breathing practice that takes under 90 seconds and has served me well to bring balance back to the moment.It's the 4-7-8 relaxation breathing sequence. I learned the 4-7-8 breathing practice from the writings of Drs. Andrew Weil and Tierona Low Dog. The technique shifts the autonomic nervous system away from the sympathetic predominance (which makes our hearts race and our palms sweaty when we face a stressful situation) and allows the parasympathetic nervous system to shine.Here's how you do it:- Sit up straight in a chair.- Place the tip of your tongue up against the roof of your mouth. Keep it there through the entire breathing process.- Breathe in silently through your nose to the slow count of 4.- Hold your breath to the count of 7.- Exhale through your mouth to the count of 8, making a slight audible sound.- Repeat the 4-7-8 cycle another three times, for a total of four breathing exercises.Does breathing really work to train our nervous system to find a calm place from which we can manage life more successfully?
Thousands of years of practice in many religious traditions say that it does. Recent scientific studies also confirm the benefits. For example, subjects taught to breathe slowly and deeply as a mind-body practice show beneficial changes in the autonomic nervous system favoring parasympathetic relaxation, document changes increases in skin temperature from better artery flow, and reveal reductions in blood pressure compared to control subjects. If you have children or teenagers, www.gozen.com has a terrific teaching video on the 4-7-8 breathing exercise that may be useful to share with them.That day in court went well. After I used the 4-7-8 breathing sequence, I entered court, was sworn in, and performed at my peak testifying calmly for the next 5 hours. I think if you will practice, you can benefit from this important tool also. Svatmarama wrote in the Hatha Yoga Prakipika that "when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life. Therefore, one should learn to control the breath". This ancient wisdom still rings true today.

The triglyceride level is a laboratory test to measure the amount of triglycerides in your blood. Triglycerides are a type of fat.
Your body makes some triglycerides. Triglycerides also come from the food you eat. Leftover calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use. If you eat more calories than your body needs, your triglyceride level may be high.
Triacylglycerol test
A blood sample is needed
You should not eat for 8 to 12 hours before the test.
Alcohol and certain drugs may affect test results. Make sure your doctor knows what medicines you take, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Your doctor may tell you to stop taking certain medicines for a little while. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
Drugs that can increase triglyceride measurements include beta blockers, cholestyramine, colestipol, estrogens, protease inhibitors, retinoids, thiazide diuretics, certain antipsychotics, and birth control pills.
Drugs that can decrease triglyceride measurements include ascorbic acid, asparaginase, clofibrate, fish oil, and statin medications.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The most important use of this test is to help estimate your LDL cholesterol. This test is also done to help determine your risk of developing heart disease. A high triglyceride level may lead to atherosclerosis
, which increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. A high triglyceride level may also cause inflammation of your pancreas.
Persons with a high triglyceride level often have other conditions such as diabetes and obesity that also increase the chances of developing heart disease.
The triglyceride level is usually included in a lipid panel or coronary risk profile
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
High triglyceride levels may be due to:
Low triglyceride levels may be due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others. Other risks may include:
Pregnancy can interfere with test results.

No matter how they start, or why, wars are human — the people who fight them, the people caught in their destruction, the people who cover them, all pay a price for a cause. Since the Civil War — the first American conflict photographed — photojournalists have never let us forget that. They have shown us the men and women offering their last full measure for their countries. Sacrifice, heroism, horror, blood, strength, courage, fear, death, hope and faith all mingle inside the stories of war. And it is photography that has brought us these stories with all their emotional depths, fighting the numbing banality of the endless daily numbers: 12 soldiers killed, two car bombs, six-year occupation, 17 taken hostage, eight amputees. For when we see a dead soldier dragged down a dirt road, we feel the outrage. When we witness the palpable fear in a nurse's eyes, we know for an instant about life under a dictator in a foreign land.
For this Veterans Day tribute, we have selected five American photographers who have risked their lives and pushed their cameras across barriers all over the world so that others can witness the unimaginable. Some of them have been shot or kidnapped. Worldwide, dozens have died. Through photojournalists, we have spent time with soldiers trying to figure out who the enemy is, lived among Chechen rebels, fought gunfire with rocks in Gaza streets, truly glimpsed "ethnic cleansing" in the former Yugoslavia. In that sense, we have all gone to war. Here are their stories:
James Nachtwey
El Salvador. Lebanon. Afghanistan. Iraq. Somalia. Bosnia. For almost four decades, Nachtwey has sought the raw, human moments hidden during desperate times in these and other places. His pictures demand your attention, daring you to forget what you have just seen and felt.

Great and warm...perfect for my skiing trip. I would recommend this along with the pants.
The top was thin enough to not be too bulky for the extra layer but still helped with warmth. I was very pleased,
Shirt arrived on time. The shirt had a dirty stripe down the front. The neckline buckles in the front like a bad iron job. It is somewhat short reaching to just below the navel, otherwise, it is soft, comfortable and warm.
Nice warm shirt. Can wear it as undershirt or just plain as it is. Nice and roomy.
Wasn't as warm as I hoped they would be, especially for the price. I bought 2 sets of tops and bottoms, for about *** which couldn't be returned. Not for really cold weather, but okay for coolish temps.

SkinCeuticals Customer ReviewsGreat sunscreen for all skin tones - 8/23/2014 6:47:13 PM This is an excellent, light weight and easy to blend sunscreen for people of all skin tones! (see photo). Because it's not heavy, it's great as a daily moisturizer under your makeup--only downside is the PRICE! I will definitely repurchaseBest Sunscreen - 8/23/2014 7:51:47 AM I have been using this for so long I cannot remember when I started using it. I like the white look it leaves on my face. For too many years I was wasting my money on a very expensive moisturizer & thought that heavy moisturizer was leaving glow on my face but I've stopped using that expensive moisturizer & still have glow, it is from Skinceuticals SPF 30, It is one of my favorite products and I have never found another that is comparable.Smooths out creepy inner arm and inner thigh skin - 8/13/2014 4:58:49 AM I use this twice morning and night. It smooths out my creepy skin and makes it look Presentable. When I don't use it I can see the difference. I wish it were a little less expensive as it does not last long.Love! - 8/10/2014 3:53:14 AM This is the best daily sunscreen for the face. It is light weight, absorbs quickly and has a smooth appearance. Great for sensitive skin.The best anti oxidant serum on the market - 8/8/2014 7:25:03 AM I have used CE Ferulic for 5 years- every morning. My face has no dark spots and very few wrinkles. I credit Skinceuticals for that. The formula really works. It is pricey but it is the only antioxidant serum that I will use because I know what a difference it has made.Great product - 8/5/2014 4:15:12 PM This is a great product. Actually does what it promises. Only negatives are that it's a bit pricey and the product goes quickly. Will purchase again.Great daily combo - 7/28/2014 10:54:17 AM My dermatologist recommended the CF antioxidant serum - the B5 is a bonus with it. I have dry/sensitive skin and i love this combo. It makes my skin feel and look great!It works - 7/26/2014 3:29:00 PM Despite all my disappointment of other SK products, this one really works. If you experience acne problems you can use this product. Even in 1 week you can see the difference on your skin texture.It didn't work - 7/26/2014 3:22:36 PM I have acne and melasma problem. Therefore i started to use Skin Ceuticals Retinol 0.3, SK pigment corrector and SK ultra facial defence spf 50 sunscreen 4 months ago. I used these products regularly. Despite the all the money i wasted, result is nothing. Especially retinol made my skin color darker unfortunately. Sunscreen did not protect my skin. Pigment corrector did not work. 3 weeks ago i stopped to use all these products, and i started to use La Roche Posay Anthelios XL spf 50 dry touch, Bio Taches mask and emulsion. The result is absolutely better...Best Clay Masque - 7/26/2014 6:38:54 AM I've been using SkinCeuticals Clay Masque for a few years now and find it to be one of the best ones out there. I've tried many, but I keep coming back to this one, as I love the way it goes on and how my skin feels after removal. It's easy to use and does everything it promises with consistent use. Great product! A must for anyone who likes to masque at home . . . in between facials!

CNHI News Service
SHANKSVILLE, Pa. — At first glance, the white specks dotting the Flight 93 crash site's famed hemlock trees give a soft white, welcoming touch.
The tiny puffs almost look like snow. But they're actually egg sacs for invasive insects known as the woolly adelgid, and they are slowly killing the hallowed ground's hemlock grove, according to Keith Newlin, National Park Service deputy superintendent for western region, which manages the Flight 93 National Memorial.
It's an issue the park service and its partners are working to battle through a mix of treatment efforts getting underway this month, park officials said.
"Right now, the trees are still fairly healthy. But we've got to knock these buggers back," Newlin said.
The grove is perhaps the most sacred piece of the Flight 93 property. When the United Airlines plane fell from the sky on Sept. 11, 2001, killing all 40 passengers and crew, the hemlock trees absorbed much of the impact and crash remains, investigators said at the time.
The Hemlock woolly adelgid, or HWA, feed on hemlock needle sap, robbing the trees of nutrients. The needles then turn gray and die, leaving the tree itself to starve to death, often three to five years after the initial infestation, according to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' website.
A mix of bark spraying, soil tablets and other efforts will be used at different times of the year to drive out the HWA bugs, park superintendent Jeff Reinbold said.
"We hope that these treatment methods will protect the hemlock trees and help us preserve the crash scene," he added.
The treatment plan will continue for the next three years, Newlin said.

Richard Neal on Free Trade
Democratic Representative (MA-2)
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: It's absolutely ridiculous to believe that we can create jobs without trade. I had the opportunity to travel to Peru recently. I saw firsthand how important this agreement is to Peru and how this agreement will strengthen an important ally of ours in that region. Peru is resisting the efforts of Venezuela's authoritarian President Hugo Chavez to wage a war of words and ideas in Latin America against the US. Congress should acknowledge the support of the people of Peru and pass this legislation by a strong margin.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. WU: I regret that I cannot vote for this bill tonight because it does not put human rights on an equal footing with environmental and labor protections.
Rep. KILDEE: All trade agreements suffer from the same fundamental flaw: They are not self-enforcing. Trade agreements depend upon vigorous enforcement, which requires official complaints be made when violations occur. I have no faith in President Bush to show any enthusiasm to enforce this agreement. Congress should not hand this administration yet another trade agreement because past agreements have been more efficient at exporting jobs than goods and services. I appeal to all Members of Congress to vote NO on this. But I appeal especially to my fellow Democrats not to turn their backs on those American workers who suffer from the export of their jobs. They want a paycheck, not an unemployment check.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Rep. RANGEL: In recent years, trade policy has been a dividing force. This legislation develops a new trade policy that more adequately addresses the growing perception that trade is not working for American workers. The Trade and Globalization Assistance Act would expand training and benefits for workers while also helping to encourage investment in communities that have lost jobs to increased trade--particularly in our manufacturing sector. The bill is a comprehensive policy expanding opportunities for American workers, industries, and communities to prepare for and overcome the challenges created by expanded trade.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Rep. McCRERY: We should be considering trade adjustment assistance in the context of trade opportunities generally for US workers. That is to say, I think we should be considering modifications to our assistance network in the context of the pending free trade agreements that are before the Congress. Unfortunately, we are not doing that. We are considering TAA in isolation. [We should instead] restructure TAA from a predominantly income support program into a job retraining program. Other problems include that H.R. 3920 would:
The mission of the Cato Institute Center for Trade Policy Studies is to increase public understanding of the benefits of free trade and the costs of protectionism.
The Cato Trade Center focuses not only on U.S. protectionism, but also on trade barriers around the world. Cato scholars examine how the negotiation of multilateral, regional, and bilateral trade agreements can reduce trade barriers and provide institutional support for open markets. Not all trade agreements, however, lead to genuine liberalization. In this regard, Trade Center studies scrutinize whether purportedly market-opening accords actually seek to dictate marketplace results, or increase bureaucratic interference in the economy as a condition of market access.
Studies by Cato Trade Center scholars show that the United States is most effective in encouraging open markets abroad when it leads by example. The relative openness and consequent strength of the U.S. economy already lend powerful support to the worldwide trend toward embracing open markets. Consistent adherence by the United States to free trade principles would give this trend even greater momentum. Thus, Cato scholars have found that unilateral liberalization supports rather than undermines productive trade negotiations.
Scholars at the Cato Trade Center aim at nothing less than changing the terms of the trade policy debate: away from the current mercantilist preoccupation with trade balances, and toward a recognition that open markets are their own reward.
The following ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
[Explanatory note from Wikipedia.com "Exchange Rate"]:
Between 1994 and 2005, the Chinese yuan renminbi was pegged to the US dollar at RMB 8.28 to $1. Countries may gain an advantage in international trade if they manipulate the value of their currency by artificially keeping its value low. It is argued that China has succeeded in doing this over a long period of time. However, a 2005 appreciation of the Yuan by 22% was followed by a 39% increase in Chinese imports to the US. In 2010, other nations, including Japan & Brazil, attempted to devalue their currency in the hopes of subsidizing cheap exports and bolstering their ailing economies. A low exchange rate lowers the price of a country's goods for consumers in other countries but raises the price of imported goods for consumers in the manipulating country.

Mystery of the Valve Keepers
Well, after 2 years of tail chasing, procrastinating and avoiding the truth, I accepted the fact that my awful running cub's problem was stuck valves. I pulled the sheet metal, removed the head and confirmed that two valves were stuck and no amount of chemecal was going to unstick them. So very carefully I blocked the openings around lifters and removed the valves. I was able to clean the valve guides with the help of a brass brush and am now ready to reassemble. Problem is there were only 13 keepers. I presume that there should have been 16, 2 for each valve stem. As I said I was very careful removing the keepers and none could have fallen into the engine block as I had all openings blocked off.
Is it possible that someone only put 13 keepers in and that the engine would still have operated OK? I'm thinking I better get some more keepers and do the job right.
Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
You might want to pull the pan and see what is swimming in the oil.
That way you will know for sure they are not in the motor.

Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
I wasn't looking forward to opening it up, but, you are right, I half to know for sure.
Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
The engine will operate with only one keeper per valve stem but on a tear down of an engine with one keeper on a valve you will notice an extremely abnormal amount of wear to the valve stem or valve guide. Worn stems and guides usually allow an excessive amount of oil to be consumed.
I wouldn't normally be concerned about keepers in the pan but in the case of someone assembling an engine with less parts than intended, it probably wouldn't hurt to inspect the pan and lower engine for abnormalities.
Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
That is good advice. I wonder if part of the problem with the valves sticking was only one keeper on 3 of the valves.
Thank you.

Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
get a magnet on a stick and reach behind the lifters, etc. I learned that the hard way once. A couple keepers were right there, but I could not see them.

Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
Weeeeelllllllllll, taking your good advice, I continued my search for the missing keepers. Bright lights and forcing this tired old body to bend over and really look discovered no more keepers in the valve spring area of the engine. No problem, pull the pan and I find about 3/4" of the kind of sludge that could almost be called coal. Only fould two of the keepers in there. Admittedly the engine hasn't run long enough to get hot in the 4 years that I have been "getting around to finishing it" while solving the lack of compression problem along with completing my Cub education program.
I did drain and refill all the oils shorly after I painted and reassembled the Cub. When I pulled the side cover off I also pulled the engine drain plug and left it out for a few weeks while I worked on removing the valves and cleaning the guides etc. I never work to fast on the Cub and usually don't work on it two days in a row. So the pan had plenty of time to drain, but I guess coal just don't drip.
My new keepers and gaskets are in from TM Tractor Parts (what a great resource they are) and today is the day I'm committed to installing the keepers, "all sixteen of them", adjusting the valves and reinstalling all the parts I took off to get into the heart of the engine.
Maybe momentum will keep me going until I hear the "little engine that could" purr again.
Thanks for all your good advice and help.
Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
I realize that I may be highjacking this thread, but I have a keeper question. What are some of your methods ("tricks")of keeping the "keepers" in place during the installion process? What are the steps in order of re-assembly, such as (A) install spring, (B) install spring retainer, (C) compress spring, (D) install keepers and finally release spring.
As I have never installed valves, this does not seem to be easy. Any suggestions?

Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
If I encounter a keeper(s) that won't stay put, I use the tiniest dab of bearing grease to hold it put until the spring is released.
Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
I have just finished installing the keepers on the first 6 valves. I simply compressed the spring, dab a bit of grease on the inside of the keeper, dab a bit on my finger tip and gently push the first half into place. Then with a pick tool I moved the first keeper to the back side of the valve stem and repeat the grease trick with the second keeper. Takes a little getting used to, especially in rear and front most valves. Big clumsly fingers don't help much either. You need a lot of patience and be real sure you get them seated on the valve stem correctly. If you don't, you'll find a keeper hiding behind a valve spring. Ask me how I know, twice.
Re: Mystery of the Valve Keepers
OK, I'm a novice. I don't know what part of the valve assembly you all are referring to.
Are the valve keepers called another name in the Service Manual? I looked in the Blue Ribbon Engine Service Manual and could not find anything called a "valve keeper."

Stanton, In the manual they are referred to as "valve spring seat key" or "valve spring retainer key". Too long a name for most of us to remember.

Dear Upland Unified School District Staff, Parents, Students, and Community Members:
I am honored to serve as your new Superintendent of Schools and I look forward to having the opportunity to experience first-hand the outstanding academic and co-curricular programs offered throughout the district.
Serving as an educator for the last 30 years has been a privilege for sure, although more than anything, I remind myself each day of the enormity of the responsibility we have to our children.
I began as an instructional aide in a pre-school and I remember looking forward to completing my college degree so I could get my start as a high school counselor, a dream I realized and enjoyed for eight years. I then transitioned to school administration and served as a middle school and high school assistant principal, middle school and high school principal, Director of Student Services, and Assistant Superintendent, Human Resources, prior to arriving in Upland in mid-June. I have toured the community and I have met many wonderful people who are truly dedicated to U.U.S.D.
There is no question that we are faced with unprecedented fiscal challenges. In order to achieve a balanced budget, it is imperative that we come together as a united school community on behalf of the students we serve. It is my responsibility as your Superintendent to guide the district to achieve fiscal solvency in order to return our sole focus to providing a world class education for our fine students.
Having recently moved to Upland, I look forward to immersing myself in the community and seeing you during the school day and at school and local events. I plan to be visible, accessible, and attentive to your concerns. Upland Unified has rich traditions, phenomenal teachers and staff members, dedicated parents, and highly capable students. If we work together with a common purpose, we can accomplish greatness. I look forward to the journey.
With Upland pride,
Nancy Kelly, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Some images of Netflix running on the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha have shown up and are flying all over the net. The CrackBerry forums are buzzing with more than one thread on the topic, most users asking if they're real or fake. While we can't confirm that Netflix is indeed up and running on BlackBerry 10, we can say that faking shots like these is pretty darn easy (especially coming from an unknown source). All it takes is a few screencaps and some crafty camera work as shown by the image above that Bla1ze made. It takes no time to make a fake.
Obviously BlackBerry users want Netflix on BlackBerry 10 (along with Skype, Instagram and others). While it looks like there is nothing really keeping Netflix from working on the technical side, it's the business aspect that RIM has to sort out. There is always plenty of behind-the-scenes action that goes into getting these "big name" apps available for any platform -- not just BlackBerry. If it were as easy as saying "hey, put your app on our platform", you'd see every big name app on every big name platform and device - but unfortunately that's not the case.
So take them for what you will, but at this point there is nothing official here that shows (one way or the other) anything about Netflix coming to BlackBerry 10. What posts like this do tell us is that there are a lot of BlackBerry users who obviously want apps like Netflix on BlackBerry 10 - and hopefully they'll be there.
We only have a few more weeks to go until the big unveiling at the end of January, so you can expect that any big name apps will be announced officially by RIM at that point.
Abrante Dec 28, 2012 at 1:06 pm
Hope its real. I am upgrading from my 9900 to the BB10 (9900 on steroids keyboard version). Instagram and Netflix will be a plus for me.
Kandoo-BB Dec 28, 2012 at 3:24 pm
Netflix on a Bold type screen!?
Abrante Dec 28, 2012 at 5:47 pm
You're missing the point. The availability of the app will help the platform. I am not a NetFlix subscriber either. I guess I could have worded my first comment a bit better.

Thunderbuck Dec 28, 2012 at 3:48 pm
FWIW, the shot they used for this post is very consistent with the look/feel of the new App World. Not a stretch at all to think that Netflix could use it for navigation.
koolrosh Dec 28, 2012 at 3:53 pm
This shot was from the iOS app which uses that kind of navigation. Netflix for iOS looks the same: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/netflix/id363590051?mt=8&at=10l3Vy&ct=d_cb
Bla1ze Dec 28, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Lol.. you guys are debating an image that was created solely for the purpose of showing how easy fakes could be made and ftr, no -- it wasn't the iOS app.
It was a screenshots of the Android version displayed on the dev alpha image viewer. I should I know, I made the dev alpha images.
And how do we know you're the real Bla1ze. Hmmm?
Oops, my tinfoil hat just fell off...
Thunderbuck Dec 28, 2012 at 4:32 pm
lol... DUH
melander Dec 28, 2012 at 8:26 pm
I figured as much. Looking at how much it took for some apps to make it to Playbook, and still not there for others.
sahil123 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:14 pm
These will just be bonus apps. I'll get both BB10 devices eitherway :)
Superbuddy2007 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Want. Getting the L-Series so my daily Netflix hours would be a plus on the go!
sk8er_tor Dec 28, 2012 at 1:15 pm
I don't use Netflix or Skype but I want them on BB10 so we don't hear people complain about not having them. We can't give naysayers any ammunition. We need a flawless BB10 launch.
leafs123 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:18 pm
bsirvio Dec 28, 2012 at 1:18 pm
i'm right there. it's not a deal-breaker for me, but if it will contribute toward BB10's success and viability, by all means.
Superbuddy2007 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Yes, having them at launch for the people that do use them won't be able to say that Bb10 lacks apps. Any apps from major players is a plus.
EchuOkan1 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:58 pm
I share the same thoughts. I do not use Netflix, but do use Skype with my Skype to Go number. I don't really think I need a Skype app either.
srfinva Dec 28, 2012 at 2:34 pm
My thoughts exactly, sk8er_tor. The fewer big name/popular apps that are missing, the lower the barriers for people to say "yes" to BB10. That includes tech pundits and reviewers.
DirtySantos Dec 28, 2012 at 3:17 pm
No doubt. It's embarrassing when even my wife's iPod Touch has Netflix
Kandoo-BB Dec 28, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Our Toshiba blue ray player has Netflix what are you talking about lol this is how we know that the elite powers that be are trying everything to prevent a BlackBerry comeback. I'm looking at apple and Ms. $$$ talks.
jerryeight Dec 28, 2012 at 4:24 pm
hmmmm isnt skype partnered Microsoft for the streamlined login through hotmail login though ? A bit scared they might hold back on BB10 development, hope I am wrong though cause video chatting with that 2mp or possibly higher would be amazing ;D
BBPandy Dec 28, 2012 at 7:52 pm

Netflix at launch would be awesome and would make me buy bb10 at launch

Just because a Netflix app? I will buy it because of the phone and its OS and not because an app.

here's an interesting tweet about this app being fake: https://twitter.com/Crwblyth/status/284400101957435392

Skype is blue, Netflix is red.
Frank McIntyre Dec 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm
This isn't very smart. Where is this person drawing comparison for colour codes? There is no official netflix app that we know of for bb10 just yet so how can we tell which colour codes are used? How can we compare app colour used for the red?
I am a graphic designer and the only way this person can tell what code they are using is by scanning the jpeg which would not be accurate in any way. We cannot tell by the lighting or even which pixel being used for they would all be different. This person is not too bright. Just because red could be a different code used of two different platforms doesn't mean this is fake or real. This person making this claim cannot prove which is being used in the app. Also it does look like the app for android as well. Do not use this persons claim as any kind of evidence at all. Take my word on it. Photoshopping the android netflix onto a picture of a blackberry 10 alpha unit isn't a hard thing to do but this could also be real.
Lets just wait and see for that is all we can really do. Arguing over this is a major moot situation. Lets not act like BGR and make up stories and take opinion as fact.
I for one would love netflix on bb10 and I look forward to bb10 with or without netflix.
kill_9 Dec 28, 2012 at 3:01 pm
As you will learn there are plenty of people posting erroneous analyses about BlackBerry under the guise of "forensic analysis." Glad you could debunk the claims about colour codes.
Frank McIntyre Dec 28, 2012 at 3:06 pm
just to add, This could just be a screen capture from android and simply loaded on the alpha device. Colour codes alone that a system uses means nothing. Why would a different code for a different device mean the creators of netflix wouldn't use another colour? How do you know that it would not have the same or not? What a stretch.
bull_thumper Dec 28, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Picking the hue of a pixel from a screen shot file cannot be compared with the hue of the same spot in a photograph taken by a camera that has been white balanced (hues rendered) any number of ways.
mavsguy842 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:39 pm
I won't believe that the big names are really on board until their apps are in BlackBerry World. Remember seeing the Skype app logo for the Playbook when it was released? How has that turned out for us?
I'm really hoping for the best from BB10. I really want it to be good enough to be my next device, but that's completely up to BlackBerry. They haven't followed through in the past, so I'll believe it when I see it, not when I see some screenshots or a slideshow showing that Netflix is coming.
jkomo001 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Trailer Park Boys is hilarious! It would be awesome to watch this stuff on my playbook and bb10 device :)
koool1 Dec 28, 2012 at 1:55 pm
Nice to see they still have such new movies on there - yikes. Still, for entertainment in a pinch I am more likely to sub if I can get this on my phone.
jonty12 Dec 28, 2012 at 2:24 pm
"If it were as easy as saying "hey, put your app on our platform", you'd see every big name app on every big name platform and device"
Funny, you actually do see Netflix and Skype on every platform and almost every device (including some pretty obscure ones) except BlackBerry. I'm really curious what RIM did to p**** them off so badly.
Kandoo-BB Dec 28, 2012 at 3:18 pm
I doubt RIM did anything but I would believe that Apple and or MS could have did something. Where others laugh off RIM as dead, those who know better are likely afraid of the BlackBerry comeback. They should be too. RIM IS the smartphone industry and just because they dragged their feet doesn't mean they are not the best in the business still. BlackBerry10 will speak of just how good RIM can be in the industry.
*disclaimer...the picture seen was photoshopped by Bla1ze and is not real.
Doesn't mean Netflix isn't coming.
kill_9 Dec 28, 2012 at 2:56 pm
People already complain that the 7-inch BlackBerry PlayBook is too small to watch movies. I am not one of these people. So, why do people want Netflix on a 4-inch BlackBerry Z10?
greatwiseone Dec 28, 2012 at 3:11 pm
Well, BB10 goes to PlayBook = Netflix on 7inch screen + HDMI out to large TV's...
Thunderbuck Dec 28, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Phones also have HDMI-out
Kandoo-BB Dec 28, 2012 at 3:12 pm
So you can say that it's there obviously and "people" are always gonna say things but that doesn't mean that other "people" agree. Also hdmi out.
Kandoo-BB Dec 28, 2012 at 3:09 pm

it would be as easy as taking the pic from the ios page, then using the photo viewer in a dev device, fool anyone because you get natural looking blur and sheen at the same time. I see a hint of tilt shift used as well.
alpinechem Dec 28, 2012 at 5:06 pm
You boys are fucken retarded, this fake image was created by crackberry to get some attention from Netflix . They are not interested in supporting BB10 and quite frankly what are you going to use Netflix for? Watch a movie on your phone and kill your battery. Don't get too excited about these fake posting from crackberry .if Netflix is that important to you, use your fucken laptop fags. Microsoft is pushing for Windows's 8 success , they are not going to push for Skype on BB10. The solutions here are:
1. Get BBM video stable on both BB10 and playbook
2. License portion of BBM likes video chat on others Platforms, make it available on pc and Mac as well. That will create a competition with Skype and turn the hit on them.
BBM has an advantage here, the encryption and data compression will reduce cost compare to Skype .
Let me ask you this, do you really stream a 2hours movie on your phone? Netflix ain't shit to me!
GeneralHerzog Dec 28, 2012 at 5:46 pm
wow, someone needs a hug.
People who are productive members of society would be prepared to charge their phone while watching a movie on their device.....car charger, travel charger for airports, ferry terminals, hotels etc.
MS is all about money and any chance they can cash in on revenue, they'll jump for it. Many businesses use skype for office confabs, and if an executive can use his Z10 equipped with skype.......MS would be all over that. (business accounts for skype)
Your bit on data compression has favour with enterprise accounts here though.
You might not like netflix, but millions of minions around the world do enjoy the service and would use it on their phones, so it's very important when you look at the big picture and not just from a king poopoo of turd mountain singular mindset.
alpinechem Dec 28, 2012 at 10:50 pm
You must be the only productive cock sucker crying out for netflix and get a real job...so won't have so much time for netflix. While some of us use BlackBerry to make real money. I have an idea for you, go suck a cock so you can buy a tablet!

1. As a f@g who loves his BlackBerry, I'm not one of those screaming for Netflix, so don't think that just because I'm a f@g means I automatically have to have Netflix on my new BB10 phone.
2. That said, I wouldn't mind having the availability of Netflix on my new BB10 phone for when I travel (f@gs do that a lot). I'd bring an HDMI out cable and watch it on the hotel TV.
3. And as others have noted this is a selling point to the masses. Nothing more fun than showing your friends that you can watch movies anywhere. Even if it's just a scene. Certain scenes from "Harold & Kumar go to White Castle" come to mind.
4. Oh....don't forget that f@gs are members of CrackBerry too d'bag.
axllebeer Dec 28, 2012 at 10:14 pm
* BlackBerry by choice *
Well said. I'm not a "member of that club" as I heard someone say once, but it really grinds my gears when I hear (or read) that term tossed around in any context.
(Oh and after working 10 yrs with individuals with MR, it's always nice to be called a retard too)
That said, here's hoping this is real. I think that it's coming to BB10. How could it not really? RIM need the biggest names in App World at launch. They know this of course. It's got to be there, if I use it, you do, or not.

Man - I am just so pumped for BB10.
If Netflix comes it will just be a bonus. At the end of the day - not important to me but important for the critics and the skeptics!
kelton Dec 28, 2012 at 6:06 pm
For the most critical apps (for popularity), I wonder why RIM doesn't fund and help create the NetFlix app for their new phone? I would think that this would be a very cost efficient way of getting more users.
Rootbrian Dec 28, 2012 at 9:43 pm
RIM doesn't make those apps.
Kendall Oei Dec 28, 2012 at 6:11 pm
It has become in Netflix' best interest to be on as many platforms as possible. We can now stream video from so many other sources that they may lose customers if they are not the defacto streamer. I found that I can now stream video from Amazon Prime to my Playbook. How badly do I need Netflix now? Well, if they're more convenient, I'll keep them. Otherwise...
jdelvalle56 Dec 29, 2012 at 7:01 am
About a year ago I purchased two playbooks. I contacted netflix about the lack of support for PlayBook. They simply said they have no plans to support it at this time. I simply said please cancel our home service and my mothers in laws service. They said why. I said because I can. Saved me over 26/month. You know the best part? I haven't missed them since. They have emailed me relentless times asking me to come back. The same phone call will be made to Sirius satellite radio soon if they don't come through with a BB10 app. I will save myself another 15/month! My point is - why support other companies when they don't care about ours. Peace out.
randall2580 Dec 28, 2012 at 6:25 pm
The original poster has taken a "you'll see" attitude to this on Twitter. He can put an end to the debate, Crackberry had ways to prove when the dev who said he could run iOS apps on the PB was in fact telling the truth. Go ahead, Mr You-know who-you-are and contact Kevin, Adam or B1aze and do a direct Skype or video conference of your choice showing the launch and running of the app on the Dev Alpha. I am sure they would agree to keep your identity a secret - all they care about is being able to tell the faithful if this is real or not.
If you really want to show you are on the up and up - put up or shut up.
jmtrotzie Dec 28, 2012 at 6:34 pm
Unless a netflix app is issued for Blackberry phones, this will be my last Blackberry.

ayandakeith Dec 28, 2012 at 8:49 pm
As I posted before on a different thread, I'm not looking for Instagram, Netflix, Tetris nor any of the fruity games Android and iOS users love so much. Give me my phone, text, email and the occasional link to get news and sports highlights (okay, I might youtube in the event of utter boredom). Give me a phone that allows me to plan my day and read my documents. Give me a good browser. BB carriers know what I'm talking about. All this stuff I'm sure will help reel in the "on-the-fence" demographic. I will probably cringe at the sight of someone slicing watermelons on their BB10. But I understand that it's the nature of the industry now.
alpinechem Dec 28, 2012 at 10:54 pm
100% agreed with you! If you're looking for netflix..BlackBerry is not for you.
ddlax22 Dec 28, 2012 at 11:47 pm
Wrong again. I use my blackberry to be productive and acocmplish my everyday tasks, whether it be business or personal use efficently and enjoy the communications device that it so awesomely is. But what if I just so happen to want to watch a movie or something? Ok it'll be cool to be able to do that. And use my bb10 device to switch from business mode, with balckberry balance on bb10 seamlessly to the personal parition of the phone to enjoy a movie on a flight to a meeting, etc. And even if I didn't want that, these people of crackberry are pushing for this app, as well as other big name apps, to be on blackberry world when bb10 launches on janurary 30th because they not only want this device for themselves with all the Awesomeness that it will have; but also because we all want to see blackberry make the biggest comeback in history. Not just for ourselves. And that's why we want these apps. Because we love our platform and want to see it succeed on all levels, but not just that, we want it TO THRIVE and reclaim what was one ours, the entire smartphone market. There you go.
alpinechem Dec 29, 2012 at 3:07 am
You sound like a desperate girl trying to get laid. You probably haven't done much traveling to know how long the battery is going to last.The success of BlackBerry doesn't depends on Netflix or Skype, they are so many alternatives and RIM has the potential to success without 1000 of solitaire games. I have Skype on my iPad, I fly 4times out 7 and use Skype once every 60 days. I have my BBM,SMS and emails keeps very productive. I used my 64GB PlayBook for games, books and video store for movies. For less than $2,download Yaybe.tv and watch any channels all over the world unless you are technical challenge and you find it too difficult to stream from your tablet.
People like you are spreading rumors or giving a wrong impression about BlackBerry. You pretty much have everything on BlackBerry, but you're whining like little girls.
It's like someone driving a Toyota but complaining why Toyota doesn't have onstar. If you want onstar buy a fucken GM car.
ddlax22 Dec 29, 2012 at 6:57 am
I'm saying for the mass market so it can appeal to the people who only want the big name apps otherwise everyone who isn't a diehard fan will write blackberry off! For the record, bmw has onstar too. Calm the fuck down with the insults as well
drmike Dec 29, 2012 at 9:54 am
I am wouldn't go that far and say that but Im looking for a good device, calendar, contacts, some games but not a deal breaker, and it Netflix is there im sure i can find a way to integrate it into my daily life. If Skype or Netflix isnt there will i fill the forums with shrieks of sadness? Hardly.
There is no such device out there that is 100% perfect for 100% of the people...
BruvvaPete2 Dec 29, 2012 at 2:44 am
A lack of popular apps is one reason RIM got its butt kicked so soundly.

felberry83 Dec 29, 2012 at 1:38 am
Skype and Netflix will be on bb10. At launch? Maybe... maybe not! If u want those apps on BB10 U should buy as much BB10 devices as you can so that they can see that BB10 it's viable platform! And I'll say it once again: Thor is not Dumb! He knows our needs, he knows what is good for BB10! I'm pretty sure there are things going on under the table while we are busy speculating... So open your eyes and ears, remember what the "lucky fans" who tested BB10 said???? "Big names coming to BB10" you could see the excitement in their eyes... #BB10Believe
BruvvaPete2 Dec 29, 2012 at 2:36 am
I couldn't care less if either were there, but the general consumer sure think they matter. RIM has been soundly beaten for some time, and if these apps will help steady the ship, then by all means let's encourage their availability going forward.
G-bone Dec 29, 2012 at 5:16 am
Well, personally, I don't want, need, or use Netflix. But. Lots of people do. So, for their sake, I hope it's there.
If it's not there then Netflix ain't never gonna get a penny of my money. Nowhere, nohow.
It would be beneficial to the BB10 platform to have as many of the major apps on board as possible when it launches. As indicated in several threads both here and in the forums, lots of people want to see Netflix, Skype, Instagram, Kindle, WhatsApp and others available for BB10, so there is an obvious demand for them.
Also, it would make it easier to folks on other platforms such as IOS and Android to make the switch to BB if the major apps that they have right now on their existing platforms are also available on BB10.
marko868 Dec 29, 2012 at 7:44 am
"Netflix screencaps for BlackBerry 10, whether real or fake, prove it's an app that BlackBerry users want"
This article seems to be taking a tone that iv'e heard of late and this is bad for business kind of like when you did away with themes you are betting on taking away some things that the replacement is better but ultimately you better have an app for that!
El Platanero Dec 29, 2012 at 8:24 am
I think people are forgetting that bb10 will be an all new platform. This platform will include all new developers that wanted higher profit and less work to get their new apps out on the market. This means innovation. Every app out there started with an idea. All it takes now is for an app to blow up like the others did. Look at angry birds. It won't be the last of its kind. Look at instigrahm (spelling), at one time a simple app and now everybody wants it
Yes it would be nice to have these apps at launch for the common folk but Thor even said that his first goal is to get the current users to cross over. That means alot of people that don't see themselves too worried about netflix. The rest will be left to innovation. Bb10 with all that will be baked in, the smoothness of the os10 flow...all so sexy. If I was a developer up and coming. Or brand new. I would love to see my app displayed on a platform where it is baked in so well that it looks like part of the os.
I don't know. Maybe I'm on my own heart but I think bb10 will not blow anybody out of the water coming out the gates but they will build momentum to steam roll the competition. I think major apps will be there. Maybe not all but enough to keep alive. The following success will be left to innovation
bbfanboi Dec 29, 2012 at 10:12 am
Agreed. BB10 doesn't need 500,000 apps to succeed. It does need a decent selection of the apps folks expect on a mobile platform. We all have our top 20 apps, and that probably translates to the top 200 apps in different market segments. If RIM manages to get the top 200 apps in North America, the top 200 in Europe, the top 200 in Asia Pac, etc., I think BB10 will do just splendidly :) Maybe that is 20,000 apps, maybe it's 70,000 as Frank Boulben suggests, but I just hope 80% of those top apps are native.
Apps was the biggest question mark for BB10. I knew RIM would build something fantastic, and I knew they had a core set of components that rocked (from QNX, TAT, etc.), but developer support was a huge question mark. RIM spurred this one with these ingenious Jam, Hackathon, and Portathon sessions, and they really built up steam as they traversed the planet. RIM has sowed furtile seeds for BB10 in a number of markets around the world, so we will be seeing a big take from developers all over, and this will only mushroom. That was just brilliant thinking! Many kudos to whoever came up with that idea. Alex?
RIM is already talking of doing this again this in 2013 and beyond. RIM knows that developer interest is key to the success of BB10, and they did what they had to do build that excitement in their next generation platform.
bbfanboi Dec 29, 2012 at 9:55 am
Many apps will appear, but I am partial to native apps written specifically for BB10. I hope there will be easy ways to tell in BlackBerry World. Even so, I appreciate devs taking the time to at least port their Android apps to the BB10 platform, if only to test the waters. I hope they will take the time to build a native app, especially for those apps where performance matters.
I use Overdrive Media Console and it works, but it doesn't work well at all for graphical books -- cartoons, manga, etc. The graphic performance is pathetic on the PlayBook since it is an Android port. Granted, I still use it regularly for non-graphic books, but that's where things stand. I am hoping the folks at Overdrive move to a native app for BB10. Fingers crossed!
rasmadrak Dec 29, 2012 at 10:03 am
Those not wanting high quality streaming services has obviously never endured the tedious time onboard a bus, tram, train etc. I have a good 1.5 hours to work, and another 1.5 hours back and often view movies on my phone.
With a good couple of earphones the crisp display of the Blackberry (Bold and Torch in my case) soon makes you forget it's a small screen you're looking at. In fact, it's not smaller than your average TV when viewed from a normal viewing distance.
I'd LOVE to have Netflix available on my BB and Playbook - it would rock. Period.
bbfanboi Dec 29, 2012 at 10:16 am
Yes, I'm hoping it is a native app! I'm not a Netflix user, but I can understand those who love it.
DaSchwantz Dec 29, 2012 at 10:05 am
If these major companies refuse to support bb10 there are really only 2 options:
1) partner with the most viable direct competitor and push that new brand out among the bb user space, or
2) embed native functionality into BBM and push it out cross platform
What they CANT do is just wait around hoping the big names will come eventually. Successfully delivering either of the above 2 approaches will CAUSE it to happen.
randall2580 Dec 29, 2012 at 10:31 am
IMHO nothing has been more responsible for the migration away from BlackBerry in the USA than the answers to the questions "can it do/run (fill in the blank)...".
If BB10 wants to be considered with iOS and Android - it needs to do it all. Anything anyone wants to do, as close to launch of the original app as possible. Anything less means BB10 is less is someone's eyes.
ezapper2 Dec 29, 2012 at 5:18 pm
with BB10 and HTML5 do we even need a Netflix app? This would be lightning fast through the browser..Same as logging in through a desktop or laptop..
in fact the pic does look like its logged in through a browser..
rasmadrak Dec 30, 2012 at 5:46 am
Yes, but Netflix would need to allow that as well... Regular Netflix doesn't work on the PlayBook via the browser, for instance. Granted - this would probably not be a big thing to do for Netflix...
But a native app sends the message that BlackBerry is still a valid device, and that Netflix/(insert big companies here) believes in the platform enough to develop for it.
Mike Mcleod Dec 30, 2012 at 11:09 am
When I got 2.0 for my PlayBook I called Netflix and was told that the device was not compatible. When I called RIM I was told that Netflix needed to make an app for the Playbook. Clearly someone is lying here. I personally think Rim's competitors have a vested interest in keeping BlackBerry out of the game. I do think however, that RIM should do whatever they can to try and get these companies to make apps for them. License BBM to Google for example.
khalidraffali Dec 31, 2012 at 2:07 am
is it not possible to convert the android netflix app and make it work on bb10?

And Rickey Henderson is fresh off the 2008 ballot, now that he is in a Dodgers uniform, prompting some lesser Cooperstown candidates to sigh with relief.
That's the view into the immediate future from the manicured lawn of the Clark Sports Center, where Carter and Murray were inducted Sunday afternoon as the 255th and 256th members of the Hall.
The ballot of Hall of Fame eligibles evolves every year, as all 10-year veterans retired for five years are added and candidates who missed the five-percent-vote minimum the previous election are dropped.
It is an orderly, routine process year after year. Well, prepare for a major spike in 2007, when possibly the greatest group of first-year eligibles ever will land on the ballot.
Cal Ripken Jr., Tony Gwynn and Mark McGwire will headline a dozen-plus bona fide worthies making their first appearances on the ballot. Only Mr. 2,632, the greatest post-World War II hitter, and the charter member of the very private 70-homer club.
Other first-time candidates in 2007 will include Harold Baines, Scott Brosius, Jose Canseco, Eric Davis, Stan Javier, Wally Joyner, Paul O'Neill, and Bret Saberhagen.
Baines had 384 homers and 1,628 RBIs in a 22-year career, and was so good, the White Sox retired his number 12 years before he retired. Canseco bashed 462 homers and was a cornerstone of an Oakland American League West reign. Joyner had his own WallyWorld and O'Neill still owns The Bronx.
And that's still just for starters. Luis Sojo, Jay Buhner, Kevin Tapani, Bobby Bonilla, Dante Bichette, Darrin Fletcher, Todd Stottlemyre and Andy Benes are more names who will take their ballot bow in 2007.
The worthy candidates among them, for whom prospects will be dim in 2007, are looking a lot better for 2008, now that Henderson is out of the picture.
The 2008 freshman class will be far less imposing, with Tim Raines topping a modest list that will also include Dave Martinez, Mike Morgan, David Justice and Randy Velarde.
Hall balloting is competitive in the sense that voters, tenured members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, are limited to 10 selections annually. That is why, as blue-ribbon candidates are elected and leave the ballot, others' vote percentages rise yearly, perhaps hitting the 75 percent target for election.
For instance, Carter began his campaign with a mere 42 percent in 1998 and became a sixth-year electee with 78 percent. Murray was a first-year choice, with 85.3 percent.
Of the other 31 on the 2003 ballot, missing in 2004 will be another 14, 13 of whom didn't meet the five percent requirement and Jim Kaat, who used up his 15-year eligibility.
The holdovers will be Bruce Sutter, Jim Rice, Andre Dawson, Ryne Sandberg, Lee Smith, Goose Gossage, Bert Blyleven, Steve Garvey, Tommy John, Jack Morris, Alan Trammell, Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy, Dave Concepcion, Dave Parker, Fernando Valenzuela and Keith Hernandez.
They will be joined by a group of first-time eligibles that incudes at least one candidate considered by many a first-ballot lock: Dennis Eckersley, who
revolutionized the art of the closer following a successful career as a starting pitcher.
Paul Molitor and his 3,319 hits will also surface on the 2004 ballot. Other newcomers will include Joe Carter, Jimmy Key, Dave Stieb, Lenny Dykstra, Dennis Martinez, Terry Pendleton, Juan Samuel, Bob Tewksberry and Joey Cora.
Wade Boggs, who retired with 3,010 hits, will headline a modest group of 2005 ballot newcomers also including Tom Candiotti, Chili Davis, Willie McGee, Jeff Montgomery, Terry Steinbach, Jeff King, Jim Abbott and Mike Macfarlane.
First sneak peak at the 2006 ballot: rookie candidates will include Albert Belle, Will Clark, Gary Gaetti, Orel Hershiser, Gregg Jeffries, Rick Aguilera, Hal Morris and Dwight Gooden.
All recognizable names who had their turns in the spotlight. An orderly, yearly trickle which will turn into a gusher in 2007. Can you stand the wait?
