View the Executive Summary
Understanding the conflict in North Caucasus may be the key to understanding the future of the post-communist Russian state and its interaction with Islam, as well as regional mountainous insurgencies. The region's turbulent past and present make it a potential source of future waves of instability both within Russia and abroad—especially if the Kremlin and the Russian and local elites fail to deal with accumulating local economic, social, religious, and political pressures.
The Russian Military and the Georgia War: Lessons and Implications
June 09, 2011
Authored by Dr. Ariel Cohen, Colonel Robert E. Hamilton.
In this monograph, the authors state that Russia planned the war against Georgia in August 2008 aiming for the annexation of Abkhazia, weakening the Saakashvili regime, and prevention of NATO enlargement. According to them, while Russia won the campaign, it also exposed its own military as badly needing reform. The war also demonstrated weaknesses of the NATO and the European Union security systems.

Munster won't lack experience at half-back on Saturday with Peter Stringer and Ronan O'Gara paired together for the first time in 19 months.
Munster will certainly not lack for experience at half-back on Saturday with Peter Stringer and Ronan O'Gara paired together for the first time in 19 months.
It will be Stringer's first start for the Munster in nearly a year. Between them, O'Gara and Stringer have amassed almost 450 competitive Munster caps with Stringer set to win a phenomenal 226th cap on Saturday.
Injuries sustained in last week's game against Ulster have ruled James Coughlan and Luke O'Dea out while Denis Hurley and Ivan Dineen succumbed to illness this week forcing Rob Penney to ring the changes.
Ian Keatley comes in for Hurley at full-back – a position he occupied for the latter end of the game last weekend – while the loss of O'Dea, who was in a rich vein of form, is softened by the availability of international Simon Zebo.
Paddy Butler finds himself anchoring the scrum, while after six games on the bounce Casey Laulala and Sean Dougall are given a break. Keith Earls comes in for Laulala at 13 with Niall Ronan back from injury to replace Dougall.
Meanwhile, Dragons coach Darren Edwards has hands number eight Tom Brown his first start of the campaign, in the back row, in place of Toby Faletau who drops down to the bench.
It's also centre Ashley Smith's first appearance in the starting line-up for this season and his 99th start of his Dragons career. He comes in for Andy Tuilagi who joins Faletau amongst the replacements.
Form: Munster lost their 100 per cent winning start to the RaboDirect PRO12 with their narrow 19-20 defeat at Ulster on Friday. The Munstermen have won their last three home games, whilst the only Welsh side to win on Munster turf since April 2010 was Ospreys in October 2011. Dragons have slipped to successive defeats at the hands of Leinster and Cardiff Blues. Dragons' solitary victory in their last 13 fixtures against Irish opponents was 22-9 at home to Ulster in September 2011. The Men from Gwent have won just once in Ireland since 2004: 16-14 against Ulster at Ravenhill on 19 September 2008. Munster have won their last three encounters with the Dragons, whilst the Newport Gwent side have won just once in Munster – on their very first visit to Thomond Park on 12 March 2004.
The teams:
Munster: 15 Ian Keatley, 14 Doug Howlett (c), 13 Keith Earls, 12 James Downey, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Peter Stringer, 8 Paddy Butler, 7 Niall Ronan, 6 Dave O'Callaghan, 5 Billy Holland, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 Marcus Horan.
Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 Wian du Preez, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Dave Foley, 20 Tommy O'Donnell, 21 Conor Murray, 22 Danny Barnes, 23 JJ Hanrahan.
Dragons: 15 Dan Evans, 14 Will Harries, 13 Adam Hughes, 12 Ashley Smith, 11 Tom Prydie, 10 Lewis Robling, 9 Jonathan Evans, 8 Tom Brown. 7 Jevon Groves, 6 Dan Lydiate, 5 Adam Jones, 4 Ian Nimmo, 3 Dan Way, 2 Steve Jones (c), 1 Phil Price.
Replacements: 16 Sam Parry, 17 Aaron Coundley, 18 Tim Ryan, 19 Toby Faletau, 20 Lewis Evans, 21 Liam Davies, 22 Andy Tuilagi, 23 Pat Leach.

Video tutorial: producing H.264 video for Flash Distribution with Sorenson Squeeze
- 06/22/2009
- Categorized in: H.264 production, Video tutorials
This is the second in a series of video tutorials on producing H.264, in this case detailing how to do so using Sorenson Squeeze.
Here's some background information explaining some of the encoding decisions made in the tutorial. First, the project involved a concert produced solely for streaming, so I shot in progressive mode. Hence no de-interlacing. Since music was involved, I encoded in 128 kbps stereo, where usually I produce in mono at 64 kbps or less.
I was producing for Flash distribution, so I encoded using H.264 and chose the F4V extension, rapidly becoming the standard for H.264 Flash output. The video will be distributed via progressive download (hence multipass encoding) solely to computers, and is not targeted at iPods or other devices. For this reason, I use H.264's high profile. Had I wanted to produce a file that would load on an iPod, I would have used the Baseline profile. Of course, had I been producing for a streaming server, I likely would have produced in CBR mode, though that's not essential.
If all this sound totally foreign to you, check out the streaming media primer, here, and the Producing H.264 Video for Flash: An Overview, here:
Comments (12)
1/ What is the need of 3rd pass when using Mainconcept ? Have you seen significant enhancements over 2pass mode ?
2/ Does Sorenson plan to use CUDA capabilities ? Because transcoding process is really slooow, using CPU a lot (C2D E8400 with Squeeze 5.1 Pro for Flash)
Thank you.
2. Not sure on the CUDA, I'll ask Sorenson and see what they say.
3. On levels - levels aren't really relevant when producing for computers - there are no quality options or limitations. you just need a level that supports the resolution and data rate that you're inputting. So this shouldn't be a concern.
"This is simple question but the answer is complicated. We have researched many acceleration methods and Cuda is one of many. There are several pieces that need to be accelerated in the encoding process. These include; decoding, preprocessing, and encoding. Generally the UI isn't the bottleneck for encoding. We work with several codec partners and technologies for decoding, preprocessing, and encoding.
Sorenson Media is working with it's partners to accelerate each peice of the encoding workflow and Cuda is one of the technologies being considered."
I have purchased Squeeze and I am keen to learn
Just one more question i.e Hey here in our country 256 Kbps is more preferred speed. Can you tell me the H.264 Encoding Options suitable for the this 256 Kbps Mode. I assume that user can buffer 10-20 Seconds in advance.
I'm using Main profile with
* Frame Rate = 2:1
* Interlaced Mode = Progressive
*B-Frames = 3
*CABAC Coding = Enabled
are they fine or I need to disable any of these options for better quality streaming ? My Main Preference is to out the best quality avaiable in 256 Kbps. I'm streaming dance music videos so lots of fast movements might be expected
Thanks in advance
I would recommend sticking with Main. 256k is going to be rather limiting in what you can really do though I think with 'dance music videos [snip] lots of fast movements' ---
Ok here's the deal. You are going to want 96-128k audio for your music and stereo too. F4V H.264 is AAC, which to my ears sounds better at an equivalent mp3 bitrate. with mp3 and music i have to push to 160k. AAC though you can do very well with 128k.
Then there's the fast movement part. Flash and Adobe _used_ to recommend halving (or dividing into thirds) the frame rate but no longer is this the suggestion. if the video is shot at 29.97 or 30fps it might want to stay there in H.264 F4V.
It is true that (especially older versions of) Flash Player handle 15fps better for some cases where there is moderate motion. for fast dance music videos with dancing et al you will need the full frame rate.
BEST suggestion: use a very small frame size -- it's the only way at that bitrate -- and use dimensions of 8 or preferably 16 in the frame size (width and height). An OK size would have to be smaller than SD resolution (around 300px max either direction).
Hope that helps a bit; good luck!
Well after doign lots of Research and All I have realized that for 256 Kbps Streaming increasing Frame Rate more than 15 might actually create big quality losses. So this is my final configuration which I'm enjoying in playing over 256 Kbps Streaming (streaming directly from RTMP so no progressive download)
* Profile = Main
* Frame Rate = 15
* Interlaced Mode = Progressive
* B-Frames = 3
* CABAC Coding = Enabled
* Frame Size: 320 x 240
* Audio : 28 Kbps, 22 Khz
* Video Rate:200 Kbps (Peak Rate:225 Kbps)
A 256 Kbps Stream means that we have to target everything at 230 Kbps MAX cuz here 256 Kbps isn't actually 256 Kbps ;) ;) ...
Thanks for helping me out :)
Sorry it took so long to reply - was traveling and missed your note.
I spoke of progressive download at the front to explain why I was producing using VBR, not CBR. To explain.
When I say "streaming," I mean distributing via a streaming server; while not absolutely essential for streaming servers, many producers use CBR when producing for streaming.
When I say progressive download, I mean distributing without a streaming server, which means that the web server actually transmits the video. When encoding for progressive download, I use VBR as do most producers.
Check this out for more technical background.
Sorry if my language in the video tutorial got a bit sloppy.
Many video publishers producing for streaming use CBR. Since I wasn't using a streaming server for my video, So the settings I used were for distributing via progr

Go to: Analysis | Words We Use | B&P Family Structure
Black & Pink is an open family of LGBTQ prisoners and "free world" allies who support each other. Our work toward the abolition of the prison industrial complex is rooted in the experience of currently and formerly incarcerated people. We are outraged by the specific violence of the prison industrial complex against LGBTQ people, and respond through advocacy, education, direct service, and organizing.
Our goal is liberation. We have a radical view of the fight for justice: We are feminist. We are anti-racist. We want queer liberation. And we are against capitalism. Prisons are part of the system that oppresses and divides us. By building a movement and taking action against this system of violence, we will create the world we dream of.
We also celebrate the beauty of what exists now: Our love for each other. The strength of our planet. Our incredible resiliency. All of the power we have to continue existing. While dreaming and struggling for a better world, we commit to living in the present.
Abolition is our goal, and our strategy for action. Any advocacy, services, organizing, and direct action we take will remove bricks from the system, not put up more walls. We want revolution. And we will work on reforms too, even if they are only small steps at ending the suffering caused by prisons.
Our work is based in the experience of people who are or were in prison. We also raise up the voices of formerly incarcerated people as our "free world" members of the Leadership Circle. We know that those most hurt by the violence of the prison industrial complex have the knowledge of how to tear it down.
Black & Pink's "free world" membership started in Boston and has spread across the country. We will support one another, share the work of our organizing efforts, and grow our family inside and outside the walls. We would like to increase our national and international membership, creating chapters in more cities, towns, prisons, schools, and neighborhoods.
There are many words in our Statement of Purpose and Analysis that mean different things to different people. Here is what they means to us:
Prison Industrial Complex – The prison industrial complex is a system of control. It is the prisons and jails and detention centers- the concrete and steel buildings that warehouse people. The prison industrial complex is also how the government and companies work together to control, punish, and torture poor communities and communities of color. This includes the police. And immigration enforcement. And courts. And how the news and movies show "criminals." And cameras in communities. And companies making money on prison phone calls. And how schools are set up to fail us. And many others ways that take power away from many, and keep it with those at the top. (Adapted from Critical Resistance)
Abolition – Abolition means a world where we do not use the prison industrial complex as an 'answer' to social, political, and economic problems. Abolition means that instead we make new ways to stop harm from happening. It means responding to harm when it does happen, without simply "punishing." We will try to fix the causes of harm, instead of using the failed solution of punishment. This means harm will occur far less often. This is often called "harm reduction." We will not use policing, courts, and prisons, which are making us less safe. Abolition means creating sustainable, healthy communities with the power to create safety. (Based on words by Rose Braz, former director of Critical Resistance)
"Free World" – We use "free world" for people not in prison, jail, or detention. We use "quotation marks" because we understand the word "freedom" to be complicated. Some people say none of us are free because the arms of the prisons, courts, and police reach into our communities, home, jobs, and schools. Some say freedom is within ourselves and that it can never be taken from us. When we say "free world, " we mean people not in prison, jail, or detention right now.
LGBTQ – These letters stand for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer. We know that sexuality and gender are much bigger than these letters. People also call themselves: same gender loving, homosexual, homophile, transsexual, transvestite, nelly, asexual, Two spirit, intersex, sissy, dyke, and many others labels. We want to find better words for all people who identify outside of heterosexual and strict gender boundaries. For now, we use LGBTQ.
Members: Members are self-defined individuals who agree with our Purpose and Analysis. These people are free world folks, prisoners, pen-pals, outreach folks, mail readers, etc. All members can share thoughts about B&P activities. Free world members will be provided information by the e-newsletter and/or website, and can give input by email, phone, or in person. Members in prison will be provided information by the monthly Newsletter, and can respond with general input by mail by writing "Leadership" or "Feedback" on the address line.
Coordinators: Coordinators are people who have agreed to coordinate a specific project, committee, chapter, or task, i.e. the art program, or campus outreach, or are contact people for a prison or geographic area. They may be members or part of the Leadership Circle. They have responsibility to make decisions about projects, based on collective input, and are accountable to both the members and the leadership circle.
Committees: Committees are groups of people taking on a specific task or projects, for example outreach or the E-newsletter or accountability. They meet as needed. They will check in with the Leadership Circle and the membership before making big decisions.
Chapters: Chapters can be started by free world and members in prison in order to work on advocacy, education, direct service, and/or organizing projects that are in keeping with the Purpose and Analysis of B&P. Chapters are accountable to the membership of their chapter and the Leadership Circle.
Advisory Group: This is a group of people who have experience with anti-prison and anti-oppression activism. The group will be majority formerly incarcerated people. They are recognized for their amazing and valuable experiences and insight, and are invited to provide input and guidance on the analysis, activities and structure of B&P. They are not necessarily involved in the day-to-day activities of the family and don't have formal decision making power. (Not currently active)
Leadership Circle (LC): Leadership can make decisions about B&P as a family, and is responsible to see that the members and activities follow our Purpose and Analysis. LC can update the Purpose and Analysis. Leadership Circle provides strategic short- and long-term planning for B&P. Leadership Circle will be responsible for raising, managing, and using general B&P funds.
The LC will be made up of no more than 10 free world folks
To join, members should have spent 3 months volunteering with B&P and attend 3 LC meetings.
Each LC member needs to make a 1 year commitment.
All LC members should agree to the B&P analysis.
LC decisions will be made by consensus, which means that everyone agrees to a decision (not majority rule). In consensus, one person can "block" a decision based on principle, but not preference.
- The LC should be made up of people in different places across the country.
- The LC will meet monthly.

A splash of springtime on a brown heel
"I absolutely love everything about this shoe... the colors, the heel height, & most of all the way it fits. The only thing I would change about it is the bottom of the shoe-- it slips a little on slick surfaces-- but it's an easy/quick fix with a non-slip/grip sole pad!I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone who wants to add a "splash of springtime" to any outfit!"

A tree chipper or woodchipper is a machine used for reducing wood (generally tree limbs or trunks) into smaller woodchips. Most Chippers come with 2-wheel trailer mountings providing easy towing and excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. There are also high power chipper models mounted on trucks and powered by a separate engine. Some Chipper models include a bagging system that attaches to the discharge chute

While one imprisoned bride is making her escape, another is celebrating a year of captivity.
Exactly a year ago today, on July 2, 2011, Charlene Wittstock wept at the altar, giving birth to the video you still can't stop watching. Here she is the other day with Prince Albert at a Red Cross event in Monaco. I mean, if you want to talk contracts, poor Charlene's not likely to be let go from hers until she produces the Grimaldi heir.

LONDON/NAIROBI, 23 October 2002 - The world's mountain regions, considered indomitable and unchanging, are gradually being tamed as more and more land is converted to farming and grazing, a new survey shows.
Almost half of Africa's mountain regions are estimated to now be under the plough or the hoof, followed by South America. In Africa, an estimated ten per cent of mountain areas have been converted to cropland and 34 per cent turned over to grazing, the survey shows.
Apart from Greenland, the region whose mountains appear to be the most pristine is North and Central America. Here only an estimated 14 per cent has been converted of which nine per cent is for cattle, sheep and other domestic livestock and five per cent for crops.
Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) said: "Mountains have been a source of wonder and inspiration for human societies and cultures since time immemorial. Mountains, from Mount Fuji in Japan to Mount Olympus in Greece, play key roles in many religions. Indeed they have often been seen as the homes of the Gods. Legends abound, from the fabled Yeti of the Himalayas, to Big Foot in the United States".
"Our reverence for these unique, wilderness, areas has been partly based on their remoteness, their inaccessibility. But this new report highlights how, like so many parts of the world, some of these last wild areas are fast disappearing in the face of agriculture, infrastructure development and other creeping impacts. Behind all these is the spectre of climate change, which is already taking its toll on the glaciers and changing plant and animal communities in high altitude areas," he said.
"These impacts, these losses, are not just regrettable but threaten the health and well-being of us all. Mountains are the water towers of the world, from where the world's mighty rivers spring. We must act to conserve them for the benefit of mountain people, for the benefit of human-kind," he said.
The findings on agricultural intensification in mountain areas forms part of a unique report called Mountain Watch.
It notes that traditional agricultural systems, such as terracing, can have a healthy impact on mountain areas by, for example, helping to stabilize soils.
But the report, which will be presented to heads of state, ministers and other delegates attending the Global Mountain Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, which runs from 29 October to 1 November, indicates that much of the conversion to crop or grazing land is leading to loss of forests and other land cover which can accelerate erosion and soil loss as well as have impacts on wildlife and water resources.
The report, the first map-based assessment of environmental change in mountain areas and the implications for sustainable development, has been compiled by the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) as a contribution to the International Year of the Mountains.
Mark Collins, Director of UNEP-WCMC, said the report graphically illustrated seven pressures or causes of environmental change in mountains: natural hazards, fire, climate change, infrastructure growth, violent human conflict, changes in land cover and agricultural intensification.
He added: "To identify the priority areas for global mountain conservation, maps of ecosystem and indicator species groups were overlaid with information about the various pressures. The result was stunning. We could clearly see which areas are suffering most due to a combination of pressures or impacts. So for the first time we have a global snapshot of the threats and vulnerability of different mountain regions".
"Mountain environments cover some 24 per cent of the world's land surface and deserve the level of concern afforded to other global ecosystems," said Andrei Iatsenia, UNEP's Mountain Programme Coordinator. "To this end, UNEP, with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), is promoting a more strategic approach to tackling mountain problems. The Mountain Watch process will provide accessible and accurate information for policy makers and all involved in mountain issues," he said.
Other highlights from the report.
Adrian Newton, lead author of the Mountain Watch report, said: The report shows that globally approximately 41 per cent of mountain land has fallen within the radius of a high intensity human conflict between 1946 and 2001, compared with 26 per cent of non-mountain land".
The report shows that, despite the intensification of agriculture in mountain regions, these lands are less suitable for growing crops than more low land areas. This, said Mr Newton, allied to environmental degradation may play a role in increasing the risk of armed conflict in mountain regions.
Notes to Editors The Mountain Watch report was compiled by UNEP-WCMC and the UNEP Mountain Programme in collaboration with the GEF and other partners.

Sun Storage 7000 Hardware Provider for Microsoft VSS
By pmonday on Mar 10, 2010
The release of 2010.Q1 for Sun Storage 7000 Appliances brings a wide variety of new features to the appliance family, including an increased number of ways appliances are integrated directly into storage ecosystems. In addition to the Sun Storage 7000 Management Plug-in for Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Controller 1.0, Q1 2010 brings integration with Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) through the Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS Software 1.0.
For those that have a Microsoft Windows operating environment and are not familiar with Microsoft VSS, it is basically a framework that facilitates creating fast and consistent snapshots of volumes through the coordination of the applications doing backup-type operations (readers, also known as a requestor) and the applications that are writing to volumes (writers). In layman's terms, this facility built into the Microsoft Windows Platforms gives the ability for an application like Symantec NetBackup Advanced Client to take a snapshot of a volume that is being actively used by an application like Oracle Database or Microsoft Exchange. The reader notifies the framework that it would like to take a snapshot. The framework notifies applications that they need to coalesce. The applications complete their coalescing and the framework tells the reader to go. When complete, the framework releases the application to continue writing. An abstract illustration of the environment is shown here:
The whole process of coalescing and taking a snapshot of a volume can take only a few seconds (more depending on how complex the coalesce and snapshot operations are).
For efficiency, storage appliances (like Sun Storage 7000 Appliances) create a "Hardware Provider", also known as a "VSS Block Target Provider". The Hardware Provider takes over the snapshot and clone operations based on the GUID of a SCSI LUN (in our case for Release 1.0, this is iSCSI only, Fibre Channel is not supported).
Installation of the Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS is through the InstallShield package downloaded from the Oracle Corp. Download Site (this site contains the Sun domain ID if you notice those types of things). The installation process should be straightforward and results in a new folder accessible from the "Start" menu (Start -> All Programs -> Sun Microsystems, Inc. -> Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS). In this folder are two entries: a README.txt (required reading ... seriously) and the Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS ConfigUtil. This latter entry (the ConfigUtil) is also placed on the desktop for quick access.
To verify the hardware provider is registered with the Microsoft VSS Framework, find a command prompt and type "vssadmin list providers". As shown in the following screen capture, this results in a printout of registered providers that will include entry for the Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS. The Version number you will see in an original installation is 1.0.10.
This means that backup application, such as Symantec NetBackup Advanced Client, can set up policies that leverage the hardware provider for fast snapshots. There is one more setup operation that must be completed before the policy will successfully complete. The Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS uses a combination of "Management Path" and "Data Path" operations to achieve snapshot and clones of iSCSI Volumes.
The "Management Path" credentials to any Sun Storage 7000 Appliances supplying iSCSI LUNs to the Microsoft Windows client must be entered through the "Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS ConfigUtil". From the Microsoft Windows platform that is consuming the iSCSI LUNs and has the Hardware Provider installed, open the ConfigUtil (form the Start Menu or the Desktop). Use the DNS names of Sun Storage 7000 Appliances or IP Addresses (I prefer IP Addresses), enter each Sun Storage 7000 Appliance Management Path along with User ID and Passwords given to you by the storage administrator for each appliance. Tap the shoulder of the Storage Administrator and remind them you could use a non-root User ID as guided by the README.txt in the download. Most access rights can be removed from the User ID though they do need to have a role that facilitates snapshot creation and clone creation for the shares that you access. Use the template in the README.txt for a starting point.
This screen capture shows the entry of credentials:
Once the credentials are entered properly, access from applications is seamless.
Look for specific documentation on using Hardware Providers with the specific applications that you use on the Microsoft Windows platform. Because VSS is a framework, you may have products that utilize the framework that we did not specifically test in our labs. The README.txt in the download contains a list of applications that we have run using the provider.
The Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS Software 1.0 is a Hardware Provider that plugs into the Microsoft VSS Framework on Microsoft Windows 2003 and 2008, 64-bit or 32-bit variations. Using the provider, backup applications and other requestors can make snapshots and clones directly on Sun Storage 7000 Appliances for iSCSI LUNs consumed by the Microsoft Windows Client on the system that the Hardware Provider is installed on. The installation of the provider is quick and you should verify that it was registered with the Microsoft VSS Framework. You must then enter User ID and Password information for each target Sun Storage 7000 Appliance. No further intervention with the Microsoft VSS Framework is necessary from that point forward and the primary work you'll do is configure your Backup Applications to make use of the Hardware Provider through Backup Policies.
For additional reading, use the following resources:
- Sun Storage 7000 Appliance 2010.Q1 Release Information, start at the entry Turning the Corner
- The README.txt included in the Sun Storage 7000 Provider for VSS Software 1.0 Download

Training Camp Notebook: Day 1
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 26 2012 7:15PM
As the Buffalo Bills finished up their very first official practice of the 2012 NFL season, a few unexpected players got some first team reps while some attempting to come back from injury had to be limited. Here are a few short highlights about the day that was:
- The lasting impression for me was the play of Stevie Johnson in the first practice. He looked like he was in mid-season form. Smooth in his routes, met the ball at it's highest point, catching the ball in traffic -- Johnson looked the part. Adding to it all was that the years that Ryan Fitzpatrick and Johnson have been linking up in the passing game are really paying off. On comeback routes Fitzpatrick timed them perfectly to his receiver. Johnson really was the star of the show for me.
- For his first day on the job, rookie cornerback Stephon Gilmore had some positive and negative plays both. The starter let a would-be interception hit him right in the numbers and fall to the ground, but then got right back in to it and broke up a pass to Derek Hagan during 7-on-7's. It will be a learning process for him just because of the volatility of the position. A solid first day overall, however.
- T.J. Graham made the nicest catch of the day. Graham ran down the sideline on a fly route against cornerback Justin Rogers. The pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick was underthrown, allowing both Graham and Rogers to fight for it. Rogers tipped it in to the air as both players started falling to the ground. The ball went in the direction of Graham who tipped it once while falling, and then corralled it in to his hands as he was laying on the ground. An adventurous way to make the play, but the rookie made it.
- On Wednesday, Chan Gailey said they wouldn't force Eric Wood in to doing too much, too fast. Gailey held true to his word on Thursday, holding Wood out of team drills during the first practice. Without him, Kraig Urbik shifted over to center and Chad Rinehart entered as the right guard. Right tackle Erik Pears did most the work at right tackle during team drills, but Sam Young replaced him for one series. Pears is recovering from minor off-season surgery.
- Separately speaking with the offensive line, Chris Hairston was the opening day left tackle. That trend will likely not continue tomorrow, though. Gailey said the two will switch it up every day as they continue to evaluate who will be the opening day left tackle. Rookie Cordy Glenn will likely get the first team reps on Friday.
- A lot like with the wide receivers, there are a lot of moving parts to the linebacking group as a whole. Kelvin Sheppard and Nick Barnett are the two main starting linebackers. However, also getting reps with the first team were Kirk Morrison, Bryan Scott, Arthur Moats and rookie Nigel Bradham. That seems to be the contingent of linebackers the Bills have the most faith in. What that potentially means for third-year player Danny Batten has yet to be seen.
- Along the same lines of left tackle, the Bills will alternate between Tyler Thigpen and Vince Young on who gets the second team repetitions during a practice. Today was Thigpen's day, and it was one to forget. Thigpen constantly had a noticeable wobble on most of his passes and was missing very easy throws.
Friday's practice gets started at St. John Fisher College at 3 pm. Be sure to keep checking back with WGR Sports Radio 550 and WGR550.com as camp continues.

Love to play euchre!!
Help support your Meetup
This group was created for all of us who would like to get together and play Euchre once in a while. Based on suggestion, we try to meet about twice a month. This group is open to people of all ages and backgrounds. Meet some new people and relieve the stress of the day.
Each meeting we will draw partners randomly and rotate opponents after each game. The nights will generally start with a brief introduction, followed by the ceremonial "drawing of the partners." Finally, we will get to the important business of playing cards. Due to the large size of the group, each game will last 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, "the non-winner" moves to a new table. No fancy rules, just dealer has to call.
If you would like to learn how to play, we'll try and help you figure it out.
Sound like fun? Sign up and let's play!

Category: HANDHELD
Desperate for any form of success Sony has moved back into the handheld gaming market with the release of the $380 PS vita in Japan.
But within hours of the device going on sale customers were panning the device. On one forum, Physmet wrote "I don't think Sony has learned from its mistakes. The PS3 pricing was a major factor in why it flopped. Without people buying it, game makers weren't willing to commit resources to making games for the platform. Now, they're pricing their handheld at the price of a regular console. Good luck!"
The new device features a five-inch (12-centimetre) LED touch screen, two cameras and a GPS receiver, and comes in WiFi and 3G models. It can't immediately play 1080p, with the English manual hinting at an update, nor can it take HD video transferred from the PS3; 720p is the most that can play in normal use.
Another critic wrote "What Sony don't tell you, is you need a special "Vita" memory card for it as it doesn't use normal SD cards and the Vita memory card can cost $130 or more for a 32GB. Sony never learns or adopts standards and tries to force their proprietary crap on everyone. I can go buy 4x32GB SD cards for $130".
Sony mounted a major promotional effort: stands displaying the device were set up in the streets, and shop interiors were decorated in the PS Vita's wide range of bright colours.
Sony said that "The first customers are mostly men between 20 and 30 years of age," adding that the 20 games available to play on the PS Vita as of Saturday were also geared towards the same demographic.
AP said that the Nintendo's Game Boy, released in 1989, led the handheld game market until the mid-2000s, when Sony's PSP cut into its share.
But the emergence of iPhone and Android games is threatening the existence of game-specific handheld devices.

Nintendo launched its 3DS portable game console about 10 months ago and it is gaining popularity."I already have the previous PSP model and a Nintendo 3DS, but I wanted at all costs to have the PS Vita too," said one male in his thirties, who was queuing up to buy a shopping basket full of accessories for his new gadget.
"Pre-orders are very strong," Andrew House, head of Sony's games unit, told Kyodo News and other media in Tokyo earlier in the week.
Without giving precise figures he said the company was aiming for sales of the PS Vita to far outstrip the 73 million PlayStation Portable units sold around the world since 2004.

Demi Moore. Eat something and go to bed girl! Go to sleep that is.ReplyCancel
Wow, the only person I like in all these pictures is Lana Del Rey (which, I know so many hate her).
I used to think Heidi was cool but she irritates me to no end now…ever since the time that she split with Seal…and I am no Seal fan so no clue what that's all about.ReplyCancel
Who the hell is Rita Ora? I think I already can't like her- her outfit seems to mimic Nicki Minaj and she & Beibs need to go away.ReplyCancel
….and yet another pic of Taylor Swift looking "surprised"…ReplyCancel
I like Lana, too. She's not a great singer by any means, but she does have an interesting cadence to her voice and her songs are cool. I thought Video Games was one of the best to come out in a while.
But hey, I also like Taylor. I'm something of a pop song junkie. 😀ReplyCancel
I hate every single one of these tools. Worst picture post ever.ReplyCancel
I never noticed but Heidi has a passing resemblance to Christie Brinkley especially in that pic.ReplyCancel
Was the Hoff looking for his career in that port-a-john?ReplyCancel
@The Dude – I'd say 98% of people here don't think she should be a celebrity, but due to her being crammed down our throats in every facet of media, market, and TV, we reluctantly have to. For reasons unbeknownst to me, there are people that are actually fans of hers, though I'm not convinced they aren't running dangerously high fevers or possibly an Ebola outbreak.ReplyCancel
I just heard Rita Orrs voice for the first time last week, she has an ok voice but the song was kinda boring IMO.
@Layna Day, it's funny that you like her because whenever I am reading thru the comments quickly, I read your name as Lana Del Rey, I love her voice.ReplyCancel
Obnoxious = Taylor's fake surprise face
Love me some Lana on Pandora *listening now*ReplyCancel
Attention celebrities: Lace bodysuits are hideous. Stop wearing them.ReplyCancel
Even tho the Ks are celebrities, I wish they weren't here, they are a waste of written space. Unless they have a drastic downfall. Hey Paris disappeared, these Ks will too.
I think we don't like Heidi now because we suspect her for a blind of a mother who really isn't hands on at all, only for paps. What if it isn't true? I used to love her too. But lately she's reeking of a bit of desperation.ReplyCancel
Heidi, just stop.
Kim K is disgusting. Why can't she and her whole stupid family be voted off the island?ReplyCancel
I cant believe hiw quickly kim k is losing her looks. Shes chunky in weird places, terribly overly made up, and is wearing the most. unflattering. clothes. ever. Its like she checks the mirror and says, ahh ass looks big today? My thighs look huge? Let me wear some skin tight clothes to play that up, and trowel on a coupla lbs makeup, and make sure photogs are ready, and out i go. Seriously, is it wrong to dress to flatter yourself? Does one always wish to look like an out of work circus clown?ReplyCancel
I still love Heidi and that blue dress is GORGEOUS.
So what if she pencils her kids in? It's called A SCHEDULE. Any busy person keeps one. I don't know why it's so shocking? She has four kids and a busy career and we are supposed to be appalled that she writes down what/where/when her kids are supposed to be? If she forgot to pick one up she'd be called a bad mother. She can't win. And we don't even know if that blind was even about her.
*wails* Leave Heidi alone!!!
@aunt liddy, you're totally spot on. She's chunky in weird places. I'm no string bean either, but she needs to slim down if she wants to still be seen as something hot. Right now, she's just sad looking. In a lumpy sort of way. 😉ReplyCancel
While I hate Heidi's dress/shoe combo, I do think she looks amazing in it.
Kim K. looks terrible.ReplyCancel
I'm only 26, but I feel incredibly old, when I see the likes of Rita Ora, and have no clue who she is. I had to Google Nicki Minage a few months back, since I didn't have the slightest idea as to why she was famous. I still have yet to hear a song by Drake.ReplyCancel
I hate to always quote Michael K from Dlisted (Oh, wait. I LOVE quoting him), but here is my (Michael's) opinion of Heidi's dress:
"If Ed Hardy started its own country, this is what Miss Ed Hardy would wear to the Miss Universe pageant. You can find a sophisticated gown like this at any low-range stripper store on Industrial Road in Las Vegas, but Heidi Klum got hers from the House of Versace. Donatella Versace really does have a special gift for making ladies look the "house girl" of an illegal Russian casino. If the front of your gown doesn't tie up like a pair of sneakers, you're doing elegance wrong."ReplyCancel
The train on Kim K's dress looks like cut-up trash bags.
Note to self: Long hair is still being worn on one side, except that Taylor S. has, in a brave show, moved onto hair on no sides.ReplyCancel
Kim K was presenting. G-d knows why, since the only things she remotely has to do with music if fucking rappers.
I don't know why MTV even does these anymore. They don't even play videos.ReplyCancel
I love "Video Games" and Lana has a unique and very interesting voice. Sad about the SNL debacle but I chalk that up to nerves and inexperience.ReplyCancel
Dear Gahd! These are the most pathetic set of photos ever! All kinds oph wrong here: Kanye and The Hophph together. EWwwww!!
I cannot phreaking stand Taylor…she makes me throat-punchy!
**OT** Is anyone else having a hard time accessing CDAN? I am and it's driving me NUTS! Iph you see me posting without an EPHEPH key, it means I'm on desktop. The key doesn't work. Shoot, I went out y/day…why didn't I think to pick up a keyboard?! Anyhoo, I'm only able to get to CDAN via desktop and iph I comment, I can then get to the comments on my laptop (with a working EPHEPH key!) via my email. Conphuzzled? Yeah. So am I. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated!ReplyCancel
The site is fine on the desktop, but won't load at all on my tablet. It ends up slowing everything else down while on my tablet, and at times, freezes it up. I only go on this while on my phone.ReplyCancel
I think Heidi, Hoff and Taylor all look good but I am annoyed by all 3 to varying degrees.
But it's true, the Heidi snarking is new to me too. I used to love her until the breakup. I think it's simple oversaturation. I think I mentioned in an old thread that her love life is so much more in focus now-and she was already in the spotlight a lot-now she's just tipped the exposure meter into the red zone. Which sucks because that is actually the media, not her. I don't think she, herself, does anything differently than before…ReplyCancel
@Puggles. Thamks. I gave up the phone a couple months ago and I sure do miss that thing! I hate to think I'll have to get it back again just so I can come to my favorite site. I so love the comments and commenters here. I think I love that more than the gossip. lolReplyCancel
No one mentioned Tim Gunn. That is not Tim Gunn! Is it? He is… Built.ReplyCancel
Agreed. I actually think she's a beautiful woman (although I've never knowingly seen her move or speak), but she's gone full stumperama in that picture. Learn to flatter your leg length woman!ReplyCancel

Home › Forums › General BlackBerry Discussion › What's missing from BB10 from your point of view?
This topic contains 16 replies, has 9 voices, and was last updated by howiefelter 3 years, 10 months ago.
December 13, 2012 at 2:55 PM #178455
We all have different needs when it comes to smartphones and BB10 has not been fully uncovered yet, but based on your tests and on what you've seen/read so far, what's missing for you?
I'm not talking about apps, because that's out of RIM's hands.
Here is a start, from my point of view:
– Missing lots of VPN options
– No S/Mime support
– No word suggestion on mistakes after word has been typed
– No search engine editing in browser
– No browser extensions
– Apps disappearing/crashing in the background (like on PlayBook). A notification would be nice.December 13, 2012 at 4:37 PM #197503
There are definitely going to be refinements needed afterwards but I am surprised that RIM is running builds quite a bit ahead of what we are seeing. The developer builds get like 200 revisions behind after they get locked down and closed off.December 13, 2012 at 4:51 PM #197504
I don't get it either since the releases for devs are far from perfect/stable.
I can understand why they'd want to hide some of the features, but not why they would seed releases which are weeks old.December 13, 2012 at 8:05 PM #197505
Builds are happening constantly add the pieces come together. It takes awhile to their lock down and QA the dev builds which creates the latency.December 19, 2012 at 4:36 PM #197506
kiddo2050ParticipantPosts: 1,036
Jst to put things in perspective, I could care less about any of the things you note except the last one, and maybe word suggestions.December 19, 2012 at 6:26 PM #197507

Do we know where BB10 stands with regards to support for RTL languages like Hebrew? I was pretty disappointed that you couldn't add Hebrew to the Playbook, seeing how simple it was to add to the BB.
Haven't seen much of the specifics on BB10 but one thing I think hampers a lot of mobile platforms is the lack of native support for various video codecs. Smartphones have become media devices. Why should I have to fish for (much less pay for) an app that will play FLV files?
I'm also hoping that there is more open availability for third party apps to access various hardware features. Again, this is coming off of a somewhat sour experience with the Playbook in that regard. It's got a front-facing camera – why are there no apps that are able to use it?
Lastly, I'm most concerned with already existing features that they not jettison them in the new OS – you know, the little stuff like autotext, holster mode. One thing I think is huge but I can't ever convince my iPhanBoys is significant is how the asterisk on the messages icon shows you if there are NEW items on top of whether there are unread items. I don't believe other OSes have that. When I look at my phone, I don't necessarily want to know if there are unreads as much as I need to know if anything has come in since the last time I looked.December 20, 2012 at 3:54 AM #197508
RIM has already put RTL language support in the Dev Alpha for BlackBerry 10. I use hebrew all the time.
Video codecs will be practically supported in full. I have covered this already on the blogs so just check it out. With Cascades and a more solid C++ environment we are going to see quite a bit more porting of camera apps.
RIM also has confirmed that autotext, holster mode, and more are coming since they are already in the developer APIsDecember 20, 2012 at 11:10 AM #197509
@ShvartzBerry – FLV is not really a standard for playing videos. It's more what you get after ripping online videos, so you can't really blame RIM for not including it in the platform.
The main problem comes from the fact that the ecosystem is very small. Budding entrepreneurs will identify gaps in the market and released paid apps to fill them. As the platform grows, you get more free apps.December 21, 2012 at 5:47 PM #197510

Whats missing from BB10? Being released lol…January 17, 2013 at 5:56 PM #197511
ShvartzBerryParticipantPosts: 62
One thing I'd like to see – it's really more of an AppWorld feature than an OS feature and feel free to shoot me down if this is already in the works: I really like the way Google Play allows you to look for apps on your PC, decide you want it and say "hey, install this on my device." Admittedly, AppWorld's plugin that allows you to install straight via USB and NOT over the network is also very cool. But especially if you have a tablet – you can be nowhere near the device and still install apps from the PC.January 18, 2013 at 1:51 AM #197512

Whats missing from BB10? And the ecosystem is really so small.January 18, 2013 at 10:41 PM #197513
kiddo2050ParticipantPosts: 1,036
I'm not sure how you know it's "really small." Given all the leaks, my guess is that the real unveil on Jan 30th will be the ecosystem.February 8, 2013 at 8:20 AM #197514
Something else to add to the list…
Paste doesn't work when adding a new wifi connection. Who likes to type 64 characters long, complicated passphrases on a mobile device?!?February 23, 2013 at 7:27 PM #197515

The main thing missing from BB is great support. I had a problem getting my pop account to work and it wasn't until after I had be on the phone several times and many hours that I got a fix. It was really simple but it was the first place I called, Roger's that finally had someone who could fix it. I just got lucky on the last call as opposed to the first call. That was 2 weeks ago and I bumped into doctor who just got his Z10 2 days ago and yesterday he still couldn't connect his POP account. You'd think that would be an issue that would, no pun intended, pop up to the help lines instantly as a known and fixed problem. This doctor was tickled pink I knew the fix. So why doesn't BB have these tid bits of information out right away. Even speaking to BB directly myself got me nowhere. I go to sites like this to post answers to questions and help where ever possible but in reality BB should be doing a better job of this.February 24, 2013 at 3:12 PM #197516
I agree. I've always had a hard time getting support. There is no direct channel in Europe, you have to deal with carriers and most CSA are clueless.

Safely finding online video tutorials
Videos That Save

How to Create an Outside Science Wall
When my daughter's art class took up crocheting last year, she had some trouble keeping up with the instructor. Frustrated, she asked me if I could show her how to crochet a simple circle (her homework for the night).
I made a few clumsy attempts before I finally set the crochet hook down. "I am sorry," I told my daughter. "This is something I haven't done for years. If I had known about this earlier, we could have asked Grandma for help."
As I resumed my work at the computer, I realized that the answer to my daughter's dilemma was sitting right in front of me. I quickly Googled "how to crochet a circle" and met with thousands of results. As expected, there were many instructional articles to choose from, but what really intrigued me were the short video tutorials available on YouTube.com. These video tutorials featured people crocheting circles and explaining all the steps in easy-to-understand language. What a godsend!
In the months since that incident, I have returned to YouTube several times in order to find more video tutorials for my children. As a result, they have gained many interesting skills that could have cost hundreds of dollars in fees for special camps, DVDs, or private lessons. My ten-year-old son, for example, is learning to speak Japanese and is also dabbling in Spanish and Italian. He is learning from native speakers and is having loads of fun. Most lessons take just a few minutes, which is perfect for a child who rarely sits still for long.
My daughter, meanwhile, has been pursuing some of her other artistic interests and is benefiting from video tutorials that teach professional calligraphy techniques, portrait drawing, manga drawing and assorted crafts. The other day, I found her drawing what she called "realistic eyes." It is really nice to see her so excited about developing her talents, and she is now planning to send some of her drawings to a magazine that showcases the artwork of children and teens.
My children's interests represent just a smattering of what YouTube has to offer those wanting to learn new skills. There are video tutorials on everything from "How to French Braid Hair" to "How to Solve Sudoku Puzzles." Kids can take math lessons, watch science experiments, learn new karate moves, and become expert chefs, jugglers, chess-players or perfume-makers.
Adults, too, will find plenty of video tutorials on every conceivable topic. The next time your sink leaks, you may wish to postpone calling the plumber until you check out one of the videos on how to fix a leaky faucet. I will also be looking for videos on car repair and various do-it-yourself home-improvement projects before I rush to hire an expensive mechanic or contractor.
Despite the many beneficial video tutorials available on YouTube and similar sites, parents should be vigilant about protecting their children from inappropriate content. It's not just sexually explicit videos and vulgar comments left by site visitors that are the problem, however. Some videos may also pose a serious danger to impressionable viewers by featuring and promoting risky behaviors like inhaling helium, which recently killed a young man in Riverside, California, and playing the "choking game," which has resulted in several teens around the world suffocating themselves to death.
To avoid having your children view distracting or potentially harmful content, you may prefer to hand-select the videos they watch. Then make use of Quietube, a neat tool that allows you to watch the videos you want in peace on a white backdrop that contains no ads or visitor comments.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to learn "how to calculate percentages in Excel" and it won't cost me a dime!

Should Parents Monitor Facebook?
It's a question every parent can relate to, and probably has had to consider in the past few years... Is it spying or simply good parenting when parents feel they need to closely monitor their teen's online activity?
According to a recent survey, sixty percent of U.S. parents seem to be alright with looking into their kids' social media accounts such a Facebook.
The survey also reports that it is mom who is most likely to be doing the spying, or monitoring.
AVG Technologies, one of the largest security software companies in the world, surveyed 44-hundred parents with children between the ages of 14 and 17...
They found that American parents are slightly more aggressive about Facebook monitoring than in the rest of the developed world.
And it's not only sexual predators or malicious hi-jinks they worry about.. how kids treat each other online is also a major issue.
Jennifer Burnett is a busy woman, working at a corporate job, and serving as single mom to three teenagers. But she has kept a close eye on her kids' Facebook activity for the past four years.
"It's different now than it has been in the past and so this is something I have to get used to whether I want to or not," said Burnett.
She says her kids live in a different culture than those of us who are even one generation or two older.
"We're not used to having everything about us online, but to them it's just as natural as talking to their friends in the hallway," said Burnett.
Her 16-year-old son Calvin says his mom's friendship on Facebook keeps him in line while he is online.
"When I know my mom's watching or my grandfather is watching then I'll just be like, oh, okay. They're gonna see this, so I better not post anything stupid," said Calvin.
But Burnett says she's not afraid to get into it with her kids.
"If there's something I don't agree with, I'll go talk to them. But they've always been really responsive to discussing posts they've made on Facebook. I just find this another piece of parenting and I don't think it's a bad thing," said Burnett.
Tony Sako is an associate professor of information technology at CBC and knows a lot about online security. He says there aren't many ways to keep kids safe online, except to really engage them yourself, as a parent.
"You bring the whole world into your house rather than just bringing just one friend over. So you really need that dialogue and you really need them[kids] to lean on you," said Sako.
Burnett believes her online monitoring is no different than keeping track of what her kids are doing when they leave the house. And Calvin says he's cool with it.
"As long as you have an understanding with your parents, and they know what you're doing. You know what's acceptable, what's not acceptable, then there's not any way to cross any lines," said Calvin.
"The only thing that causes my kids pain... they're like 'oh mom' is when I correct their grammar and spelling on Facebook," laughs Burnett.
A few interesting points from the survey...
Nearly 75 percent of American parents "stay connected" now to their children on social networks.
Also, many parents have learned in the past few years there is no way to beat social media... the only way seems to be to join in and open up the lines of communication with your kids.

Another Spring Step!
"Love these. My problem with Spring Step is they are usually very comfy, but not so pretty. I love Audrey Brooke style. But these shoes are soooo cute! Not to mention very comfortable. I was looking for comfy shoes I can wear in the office and just easily kick off while I'm at my desk, so I didn't care too much about the looks, but these are just as cute as they are comfortable. Great buy!"

"These sandals are very comfortable - my feet love the soft, cushioned feel. The heel height is great for me - I can't wear really high heels. And the color is perfectly neutral that it goes with anything. Love these!"

Cute but not as comfortable as they look
"These are cute shoes but if I wear them for too long, they start to rub on my foot. Not a "wear all day"."

Fantastic Purchase
"I came across this shoe on your website and just loved the look so I decided to purchase it. This is one fantastic shoe. Light weight, comfy and I got it at a discounted price using my reward points and free shipping. Couldn't ask for anything better. I love the hint on lime green mixed with the light silver and blue. This will be my favourite workout shoe."
