Did Obama go 'Gangnam' at PSY performance in Washington?
PSY performs hit at 'Christmas in Washington'
WASHINGTON - Anyone hoping to see President Barack Obama launch into this year's dance fad will have to keep waiting.
When the commander-in-chief met Korean pop star PSY at Sunday's "Christmas in Washington" charity concert, the pair exchanged a handshake and a greeting -- but not a boogie.
PSY, who performed his hit "Gangnam Style" wearing festive red sequins, has been at the center of controversy this week after video surfaced of him spouting anti-American lyrics in 2004.
The lyrics of the song, titled "Dear America," were written by the South Korean rock band N.E.X.T., and PSY was one of three performers rapping out the lyrics on stage.
CNN was able to translate the lyrics as saying," Kill those f--ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives and those who ordered them to torture," and going on to say, "Kill them all slowly and painfully," as well as "daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers."
In an apology, PSY said his performance had been emotionally charged and was a response to events in the war in Iraq.
"I understand the sacrifices American servicemen and women have made to protect freedom and democracy in my country and around the world," he said in a statement.
He said the song "was part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the killing of two Korean schoolgirls that was part of the overall anti-war sentiment shared by others around the world at that time."
The girls were struck and killed by a U.S. military vehicle.
PSY continued: "While I'm grateful for the freedom to express one's self, I've learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and I'm deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words."
The concert Sunday also featured Motown legend Diana Ross and Broadway singer Megan Hilty. The event raised money for the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, and airs on CNN's sister station TNT Saturday, Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. ET.
In short remarks at the end of the concert, Obama mentioned Ross, as well as the event's host Conan O'Brien, but did not refer to PSY by name. He said the concert was a "chance to get in the Christmas spirit; to spread some joy and sing along with artists who have much better voices than we do."

consideration for non-inclusion on CD--the wacky fonts

Post subject: consideration for non-inclusion on CD--the wacky fonts
I have a humble suggestion for non-inclusion on the CD--the wacky fonts. I mean the fonts like alcohole, anarchy, big fish ensemble, big log, birdland Areoplane, cheap pizza, chemical gus, chewed straw, commerciality, creature, crud, dear teacher-normal, good dog, graffiti treat, kiloton, lemonheads, loony, psycho poetry, puppetFace, purple burple, radioactive, ransom, scissor cuts, scrawllege, two turtledoves, valium, xenowort, and a few others (including some I don't know how to represent with letters).
These are good fonts, and I very much appreciate the artwork (and the names). But I wonder how many people use them regularly. It could be that I am just a fuddy duddy, and I am projecting my lack of imagination on the rest of the blag community. But if space is a consideration and not many people use them often, then maybe the wacky fonts could just be put in the repos for people who want them.
(It's probably likely that these fonts are so small that they wouldn't free up an appreciable amount of space anyway. But, if it does make a difference, there's my opinion).

Ya, the RPM package is 1.4M so it's not huge. I'm not totally against yanking them /except/ that those fonts have been in blag /forever/. Like since 8k series or something. It's a very old package... So yanking them may suddenly break people's layouts if they have actually used 'em for something.

Post subject:
Jebba, just curious--under what conditions could taking out those fonts break someone's layout? If people who have used those fonts do a blag upgrade, won't all of their fonts, regardless of where they got them, be preserved?
If someone is not doing an upgrade but doing a full clean install, and then they try to open a document that uses fonts that aren't on the new CD, the word processor should either substitute some other font or display the characters as blank boxes, right? And then if the person needs the original fonts, they could just download them from the repo, right? So what's the danger of breaking a layout?
Thanks for putting out 50003, by the way! :)

a couple things just really help make BLAG what it is. wacky fonts is one of them. Free software should have personality. The only distros I've ever seen with personality is Slackware, BLAG and EvilE.

I don't mean to deblagify blag, I was really just thinking about space. As far as I understand, 59k is still a little too big to put on a CD, so I was thinking that if certain non-essential things were moved from the CD to the repos, it might make it easier for jebba and gang to fit everything that's necessary.
Probably like most people, there are a few things that blag comes with that I never use, so I just thought I'd throw them out there for consideration to see if other people use them. If not many other people use a certain thing, then it might make the decision on how to shave things down a little easier. I don't know if anyone else has ideas for things that could be left off the CD.
I don't really have any strong feelings about what fonts should be included other than the standard ones. I don't use many different fonts normally. Lots of the fonts at fontfreak.com are very cool, but I would probably either wouldn't end up using them or only use them on special occasions, and I wouldn't mind downloading them individually for that.
As far as maintaining the character of blag, I guess the 100% freeness and the radical political stuff are what make the difference for me.
Maybe if some people want to have a freaky font that could express the character of blagness, maybe one of the fontfreak.com fonts could be used for the blag logo. That might be cool. The current logo just uses courier I think. Of course, there are about a zillion fonts to go through on that site, and everyone would probably have different favorites. Maybe jebba or one of the other developers could just bite the bullet and pick one, or maybe someone could pick a few and put up a poll to see which people like best.

We do still have two panels but yes, the tanking model hasn't really been spoken about.
We'll have to see if the class and items panel at 4pm says something!
Anyone else concerned with the complete lack of anything at blizzcon about the new active mitigation models they have been talking about? I would think they would be spouting it as a selling point for the xpac if they actually had any idea what they were going to do with it yet.

Nothing about tankchanges.
Can we have another tank legendary
Legendary needs a story to go with it, we aren't taking turns with the classes or specs, we put them in where they fit in the story. If there is an opportunity you will get one! A legendary shield would be great.
At least they think a shield legendary is great
The way I see it a big reason why Cata Heroics were nerfed was because of incompetent tanks. The reason why they made threat generation easier then its ever been is because of incompetent tanks. The easier it is to tank the more satisfied the rest of the group is and more tanks tend to be available.
Active mitigation sounds awesome but if they make something for tanks to fail at well then...
Threat must have gotten to be a pain to balance; in that what do you do when you have burst dps blowing cooldowns and dishing out a quick 25k dps - path of least resistance was to just buff threat through the roof and not waste any more developer time on it. Plus, I agree with Blizz threat is just not one of those mechanics that's fun.
As for the old Cata Heroics I suppose I'm just bias cause as a tank all i had to do was grab a DPS buddy and there wasn't a thing we couldn't pull off whether we were stuck with bad healers or crappy DPS. Queuing solo as a healer or DPS on the other hand didn't give you that kind of weight in a 5 man.
I'll pass along what I found out, as I had an opportunity to bring this up with the community managers.
- They are definitely looking at making active mitigation more of a part of tanking. Randy and I talked about how various tanking abilities play out in raids and the feedback from the two I had a chance to talk to, they both agreed that they wanted tanking cooldowns to be something "heroic", not a planned part of a rotation in fights. In our chat, it was clear they didn't want to go the route of "Boss does ability A.... you must use tank cd A to counter it." They both emphasized that they wanted tank play to be really meaningful and that we'd have to make split-second decisions.
- Along those lines, they talked about how dps always gets to "compete with itself" and rewards players with "I did more dps that time! Yes!", but that tanks were fairly stale. They wanted to give us something that makes us go, "Wow! I did much better that time!"
- Feedback regarding class changes. One of the things that they said stood out, was the feedback from the DK community. His example was, "Out of the rogue community, our survey came back with like 200 different things rogues wanted to see changed. What was weird was with the DK community, it was the same 5 things time and again. I actually called up Greg (referring to GC) and said, 'Greg, you're not going to believe this....'. The feedback we got from the DK community was that similar." I replied back, "Almost like there was collusion?" He replied to me, "It was clear that it wasn't, but we were shocked at how it kept coming back to the same five things with each respondent. That really got our attention."
- We talked about changes between BC, WotLK, and Cata and how it's all about CTC currently and how it affected play between the 4 tank classes. They agreed that passive abilites needed to be in and discussed how they were changing blade barrier to bring the clases more in line with each other. They also said though that they still want each of the tanks to have a distinct style of play, but wanted to make each more active. From the general discussion, DK's would get a little better with passive mitigation and bears, warriors, and paladin would be getting more things to do.
I thought about asking them about warriors and any planned changes to rage. Didn't get around to it. The three of us went around for about a solid half hour talking about the things above. The main take-aways were that, they are giving tanks a LOT of attention and want to give us more to do in the sense of having more ways to impact our own performance. Again, going back to what I said before, they want us to "feel heroic".
Hope that helps. No, I didn't bring a notepad or recorder. Kinda wish I had. Oh, and we did talk about the discussions here versus on forums. He understood that forums could be troll-ville sometimes, but did ask that we at least check in there and try to give feedback, as they do use that as their primary source for fan feedback.
No one tanks in a void.........
We're loosing Demo Shout and Roar. Was mentioned during the Druid Talent Discussion as Demoralizing Roar is now an AoE Disorient.
I would not be surprised if they're getting rid of all Buffs/Debuffs. None of the talents had any side effects, and Scorch is now an optional talent for mobile dps. Plus no more buff totems.
The folk I talked with didn't go much into threat mechanics.
The idea behind "active mitigation", from the way they talked, made it sound more like they don't want to do "mitigation rotation" and make it more of a thing that we had to make meaningful gameplay choices.
As for Cata heroics.....
Sure. There are a fair number of "incompetent tanks". As well as incompetent dps and healers. Again, no one tanks in a void. If the dps is constantly pounding on a target that I'm not actively tanking, even AFTER I mark the thing with a square for a cc or making it lower priority, well hell..... you really want to blame me / the tank? How many times am I supposed to taunt the thing back on to me? Or better yet... how many times do I take the courtesy of typing in "r?" and getting back no replies before I should pull?
Managing threat, to a point, is fun. Managing threat against dps that have no concept of threat management is aggravating. I have no issues on my hunter or rogue with popping feign death or feint as I get close to ripping aggro to allow the tank to hold a target, but that's because..... I TANK! Most of the dps I know are too lazy or stupid or ignorant to do these things.
That's why it doesn't work. You have a much larger player population that ignores the concept. I mean, hell, a LOT of tanks I know simply don't care to teach a new tank how to tank and do it well, much less take the time to educate dps on what the tank needs from them. That's a systemic or culture problem, and frankly, I challenge you to become part of the solution by helping to make players around you better, because in the end, that's the only way that will change. It'll take a push from within the community to demand a higher level of skill to play and that simply isn't there.
No one tanks in a void.........
That's why I made a futile attempt to teach my brother how to warrior tank (Hard to teach what I don't know, but dang it I tried!) before he cancelled. I know how to run a DK tank like a well-oiled machine, and while the movement is vastly different and the abilities do different things, it's essentially the same basic principal. "Hit everything hard.. in the face.. until it wants to hit you back despite getting banged on by other people." In the end, he went fury with his off spec, and redid his Arms for PVP, but he gave it a shot. He just doesn't have the attention span for tanking.
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.
Yeah. Saw that with the talent trees. Looks like they're looking to change the idea of "boss debuffs" for tank purposes. You have to admit though, if you remove the stacking of various buffs and debuffs, you can tailor an encounter better. The difference then, between the bottom-end and top end becomes narrower. Not as much an issue with 25 man where you can have a wider range of classes in raid comp, but for 10 mans, a group that can stack a bunch of buffs compared to a group that can't has a considerable advantage.
Even then, how differently dps players react makes a HUGE difference. I've seen mages that will just sit there and let a mob roll on up and mash their face waiting for me to taunt it. Others, like my bro, will pop blink, land right next to me, dragging the mob in to the group, pop frost nova.... then chug out.
Even then, a warrior tank has to contend with the damage output of a one-hander. Once a warrior gets vengeance built up, they hold threat nicely. But without vengeance, man..... they will struggle to put down enough damage to hold aggro. That class is such a contradiction. I want to reduce damage as a tank, but want to have damage received in order to generate adequate vengeance and rage.
Learning to tank takes patience, and some fairly thick skin. As a tank, you are in the spotlight and if you're not competent, people notice immediately. It's not like dps where people can kinda "hide". Tank success is in some ways, very binary. Live, or die.

Yup. It defo looks a response to the 25 vs 10 balancing issues. Overall this will make 10 man harder for well organized raid groups, and easier for the poorly organized raids. 25 mans should benefit with slightly less lag with removing buff spam and better balance with 10 man.Yeah. Saw that with the talent trees. Looks like they're looking to change the idea of "boss debuffs" for tank purposes.

They're also giving most Talent/Classes with their own form of Knockback/Slow/ect. Another bonus for smaller raid comps.
I wouldn't say it makes it harder for "well-organized raid groups". A well organized group will still do well. I do think that it will push things away from "having" to have gaps covered. Example: a 10 man would be more likely to run 2 fury warriors vice skipping one and adding a ret pally just for the extra buff. I actually think that, in a way, it makes player skill more important. Stacking buffs has been basically "padding" a group. "We killed boss A because we had enough buffs to push our dps over the top" vice "We killed boss A because we played well enough to do enough damage".
Knockbacks and slows and all that goodness does help ensure that SOMEONE in the 10 man will have the ability to perform a needed role. Especially since they said that talents would be more like the glyph system, changeable on the spot before combat.
I think what it really does is level the field between 25 man and 10 man raid comps. Consider, how would you compare a 20k dps mage in a 10 man versus a 20k dps mage in a 25 man presently? Chances are, the one in the 25 man is getting an extra buff of some sort that is pushing their dps meter higher. If both do about the same, because they are effectively "buff normalized", it changes what devs will be able to do with bosses in raid.
No one tanks in a void.........
I'm way better at holding my liquor than a panda.
Overall I'm sad they didn't really address much of anything as far as the new tanking model is concerned... it really leads me to believe they aren't sure how to implement what they want yet. They have a lot of things on the want list that never make it in game.
Also from a tanking standpoint I'm not a fan of the new talent model. Pure dps classes look like it works well with 1 talent model for all three specs, but for pretty much any hybrid class the new model doesn't seem to fit well. Personally I think they should have different talent trees for each spec for hybrid classes... I mean look at the druid talents... each talent does like 15 things in order to accommodate all the specs. Warrior tanking in particular doesn't even seem like it would even use the warrior talents listed. Sure shockwave is on the list but it's not particularly a "tanky" ability, and the only one that really gives any actual tanking benefit outside of utility is the self healing tier... which all classes have one self healing tier I think.
Yeah. There really was no "tanking panel" or anything of the sort specific to that aspect of the game. The did discuss it some in the paladin talents, but there wasn't really a specific focus on that. Of course, chances are Blizzcon 2012 will hit before the next expansion is released, so I'm guessing we'll see a lot of that discussed in next year's Blizzcon. Blizzcon will probably still be an October event, and MoP will likely be a holiday season release.
Lmao.... not to laugh at your brother but that might have a small impact. Like I said, aggro for warrior is tricky. It helps them if they get a head start before the firepower rolls in. I played around with my build a little on my warrior, and found that when I gemmed up for straight defensive purposes, my aggro/threat gen suffered. Something just felt off.
Only place I've had threat issues with my DK, in fact all my tanks, was on the first group of lynx in ZA as you approach the Lynx boss. The group that you first hit near that lake? Yeaaaaaah. Really touchy bunch. DnD didn't get their attention, and neither does blood boil. Best thing I've seen there is just stack the group, let all kitteh come to the tank, then peel off.
Oh.... and when dps do the aforementioned blaze-away-on-a-random-target thing. When all 3 dps in a 5 man have picked different targets, the problem is not the tank.
Anyway, final edit........
Blizzcon was fun. I think Mists of Pandaria will turn out fine. The player base has proven adaptable time and time again. They are trying to give us meaningful choices I think. Honestly, when you get to talk to the devs and can see that these guys are truly passionate about the game and WANT to give us a good product, it eases some tension.
Yes, the new talent trees will give us fewer choices. Each of those choices will have a bigger impact on what we do though. I myself looked at some of the talents and saw some of the tiers.... I wanted all 3 abilities. Or at least two of them. Good example being the one tier with bone shield in it for DK. There was at least one other ability I looked at and thought, "Oh damn.... that's nice too!"
I've seen a lot of the comments on various websites, and I do think that a good chunk of it is whining for the sake of whining. People are spouting a lot of doom and gloom without thinking deeply on the subject.

Harder as in Blizzard will no longer tune 10 man raids for a poorer raid comp. You'll no longer be able to come in with a 10%-15% advantage because you've covered all the buff/debuffs. But as you say, player skill will become more important . But in general groups that can already cover all the buffage will loose an entire Tier's Gear Upgrade worth of advantage in MoP. Overall it will be a good thing for both raid sizes.I wouldn't say it makes it harder for "well-organized raid groups". A well organized group will still do well.

At the mouth of Karan's runway this season was a battered metal pod from which her models emerged fierce but with that signature organic sensuality that that her label has become so well known for. Working from the foundation of a silk jersey body suit, this season Karan introduced long sweeping capes often styled as scarves over booty hugging asymmetric skirts. Tailoring came in a bold silhouettes with the curved shoulders and rounded sleeves reminiscent of mid-century couture patterns.
The palette was also true to Karan's New York aesthetic with black, metal shades, earthy bark and raw rust offering an updated uniform for the urban warrior. There was plenty of fabric blocking on show here with velvet, silk, leathers and shearling stitched and layered together. A touch de trop you might ask? Well Karan's canny use of sheer panels helped to break up the heavy textures. Particularly striking were the mohair and alpaca sweaters that looked like a Shagpile carpet and the closing floor length jersey dresses with sleeves and capes trailing in their wake.
In terms of accessories sleeveless dresses were matched with leather opera gloves creating unusual erogenous zones, while sculpted leather body jewellery embellished with gold and silver added a second skin of blinging body armour. Looking through the show notes, we were also intrigued by the "iconic evolution hosiery," said to feature – however as far as we could see the tights which accompanied just about every look were standard sheers – albeit very silky looking.
Karan described this collection as, "clothes for women like me - who live and work 24/7 with passion and dress with emotion," and it's true that we did see everything from a stand out puffa jacket to a sequin embellished red carpet gown. In that sense, there was a look for every eventuality, from day to night – although we reckon you'd have to be in a pretty uber job – like Karan's FROW star Uma Thurman, say - to make this wardrobe work for the daily grind.

I agree with some of this, but think you've missed a few considerations:
- A 'new 90' is unlikely to be able to queue for more than MSV in LFR unless they either grind some rep valor rewards or get very lucky with LFR drops, as they won't hit the required ilvl for HOF/Terrace
- As a tank, I frequently have to use my offspec for 1 tank encounters. In the past, I could use valor to fill out from some DPS slots. Now if I do that, I will be handicapping my main spec (so clearly I'm not going to do that) so I will be reliant on cast-offs that the mainspec plate dps don't want. This is not the first time in this expansion where I've felt that the loot systems have screwed over dual spec. In the past, there were often specific quests that gave tank rewards but now a single quest will give 1 reward related to your current spec. Similarly, the LFR/Sha loot drops seem to tie back to current spec.
- There will never be a perfect solution, because the requirements are too varied. What works for me in an experienced but not hardcore 25 man raid guild isn't going to be the same as a non-raider, nor a heroic hardcore progression guild. What Blizzard can and are doing is providing an array of viable progression paths that are appropriate to as many different tiers of progression as they can.
The thing I think Blizzard got wrong was underestimating the level to which players feel obligated to DO ALL THE THINGS. One of the things they kept bringing up before mop launch was that 'some players stopped having a reason to log in', and I think the plethora of factions and daily quests was intended to ensure there was always something you COULD do. But in the minds of many players, that became there are always some things you MUST do. I very quickly concluded that I did not want to do that many dailies every day, so I just did what I felt like. That decision alone is very liberating, but the game does not encourage that type of thinking. While I agree that the valor upgrade system does that for those in the higher tiers of progression, I don't think this is the silver bullet. The old daily quest cap was a very brute force limit that stopped people going crazy.... but it limited people that just really love doing daily quests or who had no interest in group play. What I think perhaps they need is some kind of diminishing returns or soft limit on dailies. Something like a rested bar for dailies. Earn double valor for the first X dailies of the day. (in effect, you'd earn half valor after X dailies). Bar takes about 3 days to refil, allowing you to feel that you can skip a day or two, but not making you feel that doing everything on day 1 is the most efficient.

Roasted veggies nestled in cheese spread find home on flaky pastry
While I like most of the components that go into Mediterranean cooking, I don't always like them together. I have a limited tolerance for cured olives and artichokes, for example, and I've probably ruined myself on the cuisine by repeatedly overcooking the attendant chicken breast.
And do not come near me with cold bulgur; my feelings about tabbouleh are unprintable.
This recipe, though, had me at "roasted vegetables" -- before I even got to the three kinds of cheese and puff pastry.
Five things I learned:
1. After years of using -- and loving -- puff pastry, it finally occurred to me that it's kind of like phyllo dough. So what's the difference? Can you use either one? Why have I not asked these questions?
Well, it appears you can sometimes substitute one for the other, but you'll get different results. While they are both flaky doughs made with flour and cold fat, they're produced in different ways.
Puff pastry is a made with dough that's wrapped around cold butter and then undergoes a complicated process of folding, rolling and turning. It ends up as hundreds of layers of dough, each coated in cold butter. When you cook it, the butter gives off steam that makes the dough puff up, nearly eight times as high as when it's raw.
Phyllo dough is sold in single sheets so thin they're translucent. They call for a gentle touch. Recipes with phyllo, such as those for baklava, frequently call for making a crust of several layers of phyllo separated by melted butter. The finished product will come out more flat and crispy than puff pastry, though that's not necessarily a bad thing.
2. Where does pie crust fit into all this? In March, I wrote about making an Asparagus Tart. The original recipe called for puff pastry, which I thought I had in the house, but didn't, so I made a pie crust instead.
It tasted good, but pie dough is just one layer of cold fat and flour. A good pie crust, while flaky, comes out considerably more dense -- think sliceable -- than puff pastry.
3. Puff pastry isn't just fun to say, it can be a lot of fun to cook with. All you have to do is unfold it, pierce it and bake it. It's hard to think of anything, sweet or savory, that wouldn't taste good on it.
It comes frozen, two half-pound sheets to a box, each folded in thirds. For this, you need it to be thawed enough to roll, but still cold so it doesn't get mushy. I'd put the box in the refrigerator overnight.
I didn't think of that and had to warm mine in the microwave for about 20 seconds on 30 percent power to thaw it a bit more. While you're working on one of them, keep the second one covered and refrigerated.
4. When you pre-bake puff pastry, you have to pierce it with a fork to keep it from puffing up too much. When you take it out, you'll still have to press it down gently with the back of an offset spatula so you can spread the cheese mixture and put the vegetables on it without their rolling off.
5. The recipe said to roll out the pastry on a floured surface and then transfer it to parchment paper. I just rolled it out on the parchment paper. I sprayed the counter with cooking spray and patted the parchment down so that it wouldn't slip while I was rolling.

Online ExtrasMORE ONLINE: To read more food-related stories, get recipes, see food-related photo galleries and videos, click here. PUFF PASTRY TART WITH ROASTED VEGGIES 2 cups zucchini cut in half lengthwise, then into 1⁄4-inch slices 1 small red onion, thinly sliced 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares 2 cups eggplant in 1⁄2-inch cubes 1 pint grape tomatoes 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped 3⁄4 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 tablespoon pepper 1⁄2 cup part-skim ricotta 1⁄3 cup goat cheese 1⁄3 cup crumbled feta 1 large egg, well beaten 1 green onion, thinly sliced 1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed but very well chilled
1. Place one rack in the upper third of the oven and the other in the lower third. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. 2. Put the zucchini, red onion, red pepper, eggplant, tomatoes and garlic on a baking sheet. Combine the olive oil, rosemary, 1⁄2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the pepper, drizzle the mixture on the vegetables, and toss them. Roast the vegetables until they have softened and browned around the edges, about 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the vegetables cool, about 5 minutes. 3. While the veggies roast, combine the ricotta, goat cheese, feta, egg, green onion, and the remaining salt and pepper in a medium bowl and set aside. 4. Spray the counter with cooking spray and pat down a roughly 14-inch square of parchment paper so it doesn't slip around. Roll out one piece of pastry on the parchment into a 13-by-11-inch rectangle. (Cover the other pastry with a clean towel while you're working so that it doesn't dry out). 5. Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet and cut 1-inch strips from all 4 sides. Create a border around the tart by brushing the edges of the rectangle with water and laying the cut strips on top, trimming to fit. 6. Poke holes in the bottom of the pastry with a fork. Repeat the process to make a second tart crust. Place one baking sheet on the upper rack and one on the lower and bake the pastries for 5 minutes; rotate the pans, swapping the one on the bottom with the one on the top, and bake 5 minutes more. 7. Remove the pastries from the oven, poke them with a fork, and use a spatula to carefully press down the puffed centers. Return the pastries to the oven to cook for 5 minutes more, then cool the pans on wire racks for about 5 minutes. 8. Divide the cheese mixture between the pastries and spread it evenly, then divide and add the vegetables. Bake the tarts until the cheese is set, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through the cooking time, as in step 6. 9. Cool the tarts on racks for a few minutes, then slice each into 6 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.

Political refugees await another presidential election in Iran
In June 2009, hundreds of thousands of Iranians protested against the presidential vote which saw Mahmoud Ahmadinejad re-elected. The movement was swiftly crushed by the authorities and set off a wave of activists fleeing the country. Three years on, the number of Iranian political refugees continues to rise. The majority pass through Turkey while awaiting a visa for Europe or the US. A few months before the next presidential election in Iran, they told us about their struggle.

I was pleasantly surprised by these snow pants. Light, comfortable, water proof. I'm satisified, and I'll buy again!
The pants are of good quality--really stretchy. However, if you plan to wear layers under them definitely go up a few sizes!
Really great pants, perfect looks!!! Nice material!!! I loved them, warm and cosy!!! Thinking about getting a second pair.
Very comfortable. It keeps me warm on the ski slope. It is very fashionable. I got a lot of compliment wearing it. Went back and bought another 2 pairs.
These are so classy and flattering ! Made very we ! I bought 2 ! Loved them so much.
Loved these pants. They are very flattering - so much better than the old fashioned ski pants I am used to. Got lots of complements on them. Not sure I could fit anything under them as they are very fitted but the one time I have worn them skiing I did not feel that I needed anything under them - stayed very warm.

I'm not a huge fan of cleansers that smell rather minty, so I did not enjoy this cleanser as much as I thought I would. I did not find it irritating to my skin, just would have preferred a different combination of oils. The shea butter in it I think makes your skin feel nice and soft after washing, but I couldn't really tell if it was exfoliating enough for me since I assume that it is the addition of the black soap that aids in exfoliation. I also think that this product is a tad bit overpriced for what you are getting in the cleanser in terms of ingredients. A cheaper alternative would be to buy the shea vision black soap, which was out of stock when I purchased this and to make your own cleanser with a blend of your own essential oils.

I was really excited to try this but I have to say I am a bit disappointed , it is too drying on my combination skin, I do not like the smell either, not able to take off my make up with it although I do not use anything that is waterproof or long wearing. It will not break you out but it will not heel blemishes either.
Not moisturizing, terrible smell

Dr Woods claims that this cleanser "Moisturizes & Conditions" but I did not find this to be true. This cleanser left my face feeling uncomfortable and squeaky clean (I don't even have sensitive skin). I also didn't really notice any exfoliating or blemish healing effects, not that I was expecting much from a cleanser. The packaging is fairly nice and the cleanser was easy to use (duh). Can you see I'm struggling to find good things to say about this cleanser? I can't really recommend this. PS. Other reviewers described the scent as refreshing tea tree. I liked the scent at first but after about a week of use it just began to smell like... flowery vomit. I had to hold my breath while cleansing my face. (I'm not taking off any stars for the scent because it is a personal preference but be warned!)

Posted February 11
Channel Six Fact Finders are investigating two separate cases of two 13-year-old boys from Westside Middle School being accused of making "hit" lists of students.
A month ago, a 13-year-old student at Westside Middle School raised an alarm that sent him to the Douglas County Youth Center.
On January 16, according to police reports, investigators came to the school at the Principal's request. Officers were told there was a computer checked by tech support with a "want to kill" list.
When administrators called the mother of a 7th grader recently -- who doesn't want to be identified -- to say her child was on a "hit list" -- she made the assumption that it was from that case. But it wasn't. It happened a week after the previous case.
"I didn't know there were two lists," said the mom in an exclusive interview with Channel 6 News.
A different 13-year-old boy was behind the second "hit" list and her child's name was on it.
The boy was back in school as of Friday and she wants to know why.
Mom: "They said it wasn't as serious as the other kid," said the mother. "So they met with different boards and determined he's okay."
Reporter: "What do you think?"
Mom: "I don't think it's okay."
What also bothers the parent is she wouldn't know about the other list if it wasn't on our news. No letters ever went home to the student body. "To me, whether your child's name is on the list or not -- you should be notified that something is going on in school."
District 66 officials declined to talk about the case because it involves student discipline. They could only say they followed the code of conduct and spoke with those involved.
The mom says the boy is supposed to have a chaperon while at school and not mix with her child or the others on the list. He's also supposed to eat alone and have a different locker after what happened.
Police responded to Westside Middle School and were told the computer was checked by tech support, and a "Want to Kill" list was found on the computer. On the list was the names of two teachers and six students. The student who made the list is not being named because he is only 13.
In the report, police say "There is a long history of bullying issues between (some of the victims) and (the suspect), although by his admission, there have not been any issues this year.
The suspect told officers he did not intend to carry out his plan, and did not have access to any weapons.
Parents of the students on the list say they believe the school acted appropriately and quickly.
Westside issued a statement saying the student had been disciplined according to their code of conduct.
The student is due in court in March.

Detroit -- Sunday's baseball game at Comerica Park had its mysteries.
Begin by asking how nine innings between the Tigers and Yankees could turn into the most boring 3 hours and 21 minutes of big league baseball in history. At least that was a personal and, probably, understated view of a game the Yankees won, 7-0, and which somehow featured the worst pace and fewest intricacies of any major league contest I've ever attended or covered.
A separate riddle Sunday had to do with Tigers reliever Phil Coke. He had a bad day. His earned-run average after three 2013 games is 16.20, which includes a brilliant outing in last week's opener against the Twins. He faced five batters Sunday, allowing three hits, a long sacrifice fly, and two runs.
Struggling against righties
Coke is at the heart of the Tigers' never-ending bullpen issues. He was considered for a while a potential closer after he pitched gallantly during last autumn's playoffs. And when he got the save on Opening Day at Minnesota, it looked as if Coke might be an answer to manager Jim Leyland's ninth-inning vacancy.
Relief pitchers have ups. They have downs. And so, two clunkers within three games is nothing by which to measure Coke. But what doesn't add up is why Coke, who throws left-handed, has such acute problems against right-handed batters.
The numbers are stark.
Coke entered Sunday's game with right-handers hitting .301 against him during his seven seasons in the majors. Last year was particularly ugly. In 52 games during the regular season, right-handed batters rolled up a .396 average and a 1.050 OPS (.446 on-base percentage plus .604 slugging percentage), which is no way to earn a team's late-innings trust.
Leyland was asked Sunday about the Coke conundrum. Good pitcher. Bad results, sometimes anyway, particularly against those guys who swing right-handed.
"It's puzzling to me," Leyland said, mentioning that he and bench coach Gene Lamont had also talked about Coke's mystifying ways. "What's amazing is that he has such a good repertoire. He has an excellent change-up and a good breaking ball.
"It's not like he's just a fastball pitcher wearing out the fastball. He should get right-handers out."
Among those curious about Coke's right-handed hassles would be Phillip Douglas Coke.
"It's not for lack of effort," he said, standing at his locker following a postgame workout. "It's a lack of location.
"Hitters seem to pick the right time (to swing) when I lack location on a pitch."
Mostly, the location issues affect his fastball. In last Wednesday's game against the Twins, Coke got a pair of fastballs high in the strike zone that the Twins walloped for hits that helped turn a Tigers lead into a 3-2 Twins victory.
Sunday's story had parallels. Vernon Wells, during the Yankees' two-run eighth, hit a double on a Coke fastball that all but begged to be ripped.
Location, location, location
Why is he not throwing more secondary pitches in these situations? A change-up, especially one as good as Coke's, often tends to work better against opposite-side hitters. Coke's curveball can be nasty, as well.
But the fastball is almost any pitcher's primary option and no one expects Coke to put it on the shelf. He cannot abandon it. He simply must throw it to spots that make it tougher on hitters who love a 93-mph pitch that cruises, belt-high, across home plate's middle.
Coke understands it is all about the basics. Basic fastball, located properly. Secondary pitches that bite downward and don't spin like a top twirling on a table.
He had it going last fall during that heady Tigers playoff run.
"That fastball, I was throwing where I wanted it 99 percent of the time," he said Sunday, after almost all of his teammates had cleared from the clubhouse. "I know what I'm capable of doing. It's just a matter of executing it."
Execution. Sometimes a relief pitcher must wonder: Isn't that what I'm experiencing during these late-inning ordeals?
In seven seasons, right-handers are batting .301 vs. Phil Coke. / Robin Buckson/Detroit News

The "war against women" that Democrats say Republicans in the Wis. legislature have launched in recent weeks rages on. From abortion-restriction bills, to abstinence-only courses in schools, the issues women's rights advocates fight for, have taken a hard hit. And those who are running for office in the upcoming recall elections, are using every issue to their advantage.
NewsChannel 7 took a closer look at a recent political attack ad targeting women voters, to find out what's true, what's misleading and what's completely false. The TV ad is from Rep. Donna Seidel (D-Wausau), who's running for the 29th Senate District seat against Rep. Jerry Petrowski (R-Marathon). The ad jabs at Petrowski on several points. The major one is the recent repeal of a 2009 provision of Wisconsin Fair Employment Law.
The ad begins, "I have something to say to Jerry Petrowski. I work hard everyday. And you think women shouldn't get paid the same as men for doing the same work?"
Equal pay for equal work. It's a concept that dates back to a federal law signed by President Kennedy in 1963. But fast forward to today, and the numbers are far from equal. A 2011 report from the Government Accountability Office shows women make 86 cents for every dollar men do.
So what does Rep. Petrowski have to do with that? The Wisconsin legislature rescinded a 2009 state law (SB 202) last month that allowed victims of workplace discrimination to sue an employer in circuit court for punitive and compensatory damages. Rep. Retrowski voted in favor of that repeal. But this needs clarification. It's true that prior to the law victims could only sue for reinstatement of their jobs, back pay and legal fees at the state level. However, employment law attorney Brian Formella of Stevens Point says SB 202 was flawed from the beginning.
"One dance was to go through the administrative process through the Dept. of Workforce Development (DWD) to get a determination of discrimination," Formella said. "The second step of the dance was to file in circuit court. So that was kind of an unusual two step. So even then, there wasn't this perfect dance that the federal system has where you can go to federal court, and if you're successful in your case, you can claim damages for compensatory and punitive."
Victims have always been able to collect damages through the federal courts, and Republicans say the repeal was necessary so that companies didn't become victims themselves of frivolous lawsuits. But Democrats argue the federal context is more costly and therefore deters victims from coming forward.
"I think anyone who claims discrimination in the state of Wis. no longer have pools of certain damages," Formella said.
The most important question to ask then is, was this law effective in the two plus years it had been in place?
"What I've read is that it hasn't even been exercised a lot," Formella said.
In fact, according to DWD, it hasn't been exercised at all. The number of people who successfully filed a lawsuit and collected damages under the 2009 law is zero. Women's rights advocates say that could also be a sign the law was working, and employers were more careful about discrimination.
Bottom line, the ad is misleading. It tackles of very real issue, pay inequality among the sexes. But it's unclear whether the repeal means women will now be at a greater disadvantage than they were when the law was in place. It's also unclear whether a vote to repeal that law says anything about Rep. Petrowski's view on equal pay in the workplace.

Diet Solutions
Have a question about diets like the Mediterranean diet, South Beach Diet, or Zone Diet? Would you like to learn more about creating a low-sodium, diabetes, or gluten-free diet? You've come to the right place!
You cannot turn on the television or flip through a magazine without reading about the U.S. obesity problem or about some new diet to lose weight. There are various studies and statistics out there and it can all be very confusing. The questions that I often hear people ask is how do you determine what is a healthy weight for you and how do you reach it?
The best way to determine if you are at a healthy weight for your body is to calculate your Body Mass Index or BMI. This can be done with the following easy calculation: Take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 703. Take that number and divide it by your height in inches squared.
For example, if you are 5'5" tall and weigh 170 pounds, this is how your calculation would look:
(170 * 703) / (65 x 65) = BMI of 28
Once you know your BMI, you can then determine what category you fit it, be that ideal weight, overweight, obese, or underweight. In the example above, a BMI of 28 means that person is overweight.
Another way to determine whether you are at a healthy weight, especially if you have a BMI of less than 54 is to measure the circumference of your waist. In women, a waist measurement of over 31 inches indicates a slight health risk, and a waist circumference of over 35 inches indicates substantially increased risk.
If you have determined that you are not currently at a healthy weight and fit into either the overweight or obese category, you should start now to get healthy. As you probably know, those people who are overweight and those who are obese are much more likely to suffer from weight related illnesses. These illnesses include diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. To avoid these diseases, you really do need to get yourself to a healthy weight as soon as you can. You want to lead a long healthy life, so you need to lose weight in order to achieve that.
One way that you can get to a healthy weight in a safe manner is to reduce your caloric intake and start eating healthy foods. BistroMD will actually deliver healthy food to your door! This makes getting to that healthy weight so much easier because you may not know what foods to eat to lose weight. They do all of that research for you and provide delicious meals for you.

Advanced Node Support
Olympus-SoC features a scalable and flexible routing architecture that integrates the global, track, and detailed routing engines best suited to handle multi-patterning (MP) and FinFET requirements of advanced nodes. The router supports all the complex DRC, DFM, and MP rules for all the leading foundries.
The Olympus-SoC router is able to address the increased number and complexity of DRC rules with fast runtimes and no loss in accuracy. The unified Global Router based congestion modeling ensures excellent correlation in all stages of the design flow. The routing engine incorporates signoff-quality, variation-aware timing and optimization engine for SI- and timing-driven routing.
The router supports both gridded and non-gridded models and the use of a universal connectivity model for a friendly ECO flow. It also supports sophisticated non-default rules (NDRs) and all the DFM requirements for advanced nodes including recommended rules, pattern matching, redundant vias, wire spreading/widening, and timing-aware smart metal and via fill. Key features for supporting advanced node designs include:
- Comprehensive multi patterning and FinFET support
- Native coloring, verification and conflict resolution
- DRC, double/multi patterning, and DFM rule support for all leading foundries
- Intelligent conflict double/multi patterning
- Resolution engine
- Pattern matching and recommended rules support
- Variation-aware timing and SI driven routing
Design Planning
To tackle the challenges of growing design sizes, such as runtime and tool capacity, Olympus-SoC provides multiple design planning options including flat, hierarchical and pseudo flat floorplanning technologies. Hierarchical floorplanning supports both channel-based and channel-less (abutted) flows and offers unique technologies such as timing- and congestion-aware pin placement and feed-through insertion. The data flow graph driven automatic macro placement for both top and block level (AMP) ensures the best QoR by facilitating design space exploration with multiple parallel recipes, which significantly reduces the number of macro placement iterations. Olympus-SoC offers the highest tool capacity, compact memory footprint, and intuitive, easy to use GUI. Key features for supporting design planning include:
- Design planning including flat, hierarchical, and pseudo flat floorplanning
- Support for both channel-less and channel-based flows
- Timing and congestion aware pin placement and feed-through insertion
- Data flow graph driven automatic macro placement
- Timing-driven placement engine for optimal QoR
- Powerful and efficient GUI
Highest Performance
Leading-edge designs need to be analyzed and optimized for various design contexts and timing variations due to device/interconnect scaling. Using approximations, like constraint merging or adding margins, results in loss of accuracy that impacts design performance, and time-to-market. With Olympus-SoC, you can avoid unpredictability in sign-off ECO loops, eliminate performance-killing pessimism, and speed the time-to-tapeout by considering all the scenarios concurrently, from floorplanning to GDSII-out.
Olympus-SoC's patented and tape-out proven multi-corner–multi-mode (MCMM) architecture drives the router and optimization engines to automatically achieve best timing and SI across all modes and corners concurrently. The patented "virtual timing graph" architecture enables the database to handle any number of timing views of the design with minimal impact on runtimes and memory requirements. Additional technologies such as 3D opportunistic shielding of clock nets, CTS-based timing optimization and advanced trap placement help push the performance envelope. Key features that enable the highest performance designs include:
- True and concurrent MCMM optimization during all design steps
- Best-in-class MCMM-based CTS
- On-chip variation (OCV) driven CTS and opportunistic 3D clock shielding
- Resistance-aware concurrent cell and wire optimization
- Extremely fast and accurate, on-the-fly parasitic extraction
- Sign-off quality timing analysis and optimization
Low Power Platform
Olympus-SoC provides seamless concurrent optimization for both power and timing, covering all operating modes and process corners through all stages of the flow. Olympus-SoC supports the Unified Power Format (UPF) throughout the netlist-to-GDSII flow, including the ability to describe design intent through power state definition tables.
Olympus-SoC automates multi-supply-voltage design flows with automatic power grid routing for multiple voltage supplies, support for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to handle varying supply voltages and clock frequencies, and auto placement and routing of special cells such as level shifters, isolation cells, and MTCMOS switches.
It also provides concurrent multi-Vt optimization, power gating, retention flop synthesis, support for gas station methodology, and power-aware buffering and sizing. Power-aware CTS minimizes power in the clock network with techniques like smart clock gate placement, slew shaping, clock gate cloning/de-cloning, register clumping and concurrent MCMM optimization, all of which ensure a balanced clock tree with optimal power. Key features of the Olympus-SoC low power platform include:
- Concurrent multi-Vt optimization
- Power gating
- Support for gas station methodology
- Power-aware buffering and sizing
- UPF 2.0 (IEEE 1801) based multi voltage flow
- Power state table (PST) based advanced buffering
- Support for level shifters, isolation cells, and retention registers
- Distributed and ring style multi-threshold (MTCMOS) switch cell insertion
- Hierarchical UPF support
- Power aware CTS featuring cloning, restructuring, and slew shaping
- Concurrent power and timing optimization for all corner/mode/power scenarios
Dynamic Area Recovery
At advanced nodes, the introduction of multi patterning and the FinFET transistor have a significant impact on design utilization and area due to complex spacing requirements. It is critical to accurately predict intra-cell congestion and recover area throughout the design flow.
Olympus-SoC reduces area with technologies like the unified global router-based congestion modeling, intelligent white space management, smart MP fixing for nested and interdependent cycles, Fin grid-aware placement, Vt- and implant-aware spacing and concurrent SI and MP fixing.
Other area reduction technologies used throughout the flow include proprietary density management, dynamic area recovery, and congestion mitigation though clock tree synthesis (CTS) and post-CTS optimization. Key features for area reduction include:
- Unified global router based congestion modeling
- Channel-less floorplanning flow
- Intelligent white space management
- Precision DP fixing for minimal perturbation
- Dynamic area recovery throughout the flow
- Proprietary density management
Productivity and Capacity
Olympus-SoC helps you achieve design closure on large complex designs in a fraction of the time required for existing design flows. With Olympus-SoC, you can speed design closure time by a factor of 2-3X, and reduce power by up to 30% over traditional tools.
Olympus-SoC can handle more than 100 million gate designs because it has the industry's highest-capacity, smallest-footprint, ultra-compact database. Its flexible architecture enables flat, hierarchical, or pseudo-flat flows with a dataflow, graph-driven macro placement engine. Olympus-SoC also includes physical synthesis technology, which delivers highly optimized results for multimillion-gate flat designs in a single overnight run.
Sign-off quality timing, extraction, and delay calculation are native to the Olympus-SoC kernel. Fully-multithreaded analysis engines and a fully-parallelized timing and optimization engine reduce run times by efficiently using the latest platforms, providing a significant speedup. Key features supporting productivity and capacity include:
TAT Reduction
- Distributed and multithreaded analysis and optimization
- Signoff physical verification during implementation with Calibre InRoute
- Minimal ECO iterations through MCMM optimization
- Signoff quality built-in timing and extraction engines
- Industry's first multi-threaded timing engine
Highest Capacity
- Compact database and flexible architecture
- Ability to handle 100+ million instance designs
- Flexible abstraction capabilities including SI-ILM, HTP, and black boxes
- Unique synchronized optimization at the top-level design
- Advanced memory reduction technologies
Manufacturing Closure
The Olympus-SoC lithography-driven router addresses the complex lithograhy effects during place and route with integrated critical area analysis (CAA), CMP, and OPC models. Because the router is DFM-aware, it produces an inherently litho-friendly layout with MCMM optimization and high-quality routing, ensuring robust, full-process-window manufacturability.
Olympus-SoC uses an "open router" architecture that allows it to natively invoke of all the signoff Calibre engines during implementation through the Calibre InRoute advanced design and manufacturing closure platform. Invoking Calibre facilities directly within the Olympus-SoC environment provides automated, intelligent prevention of DRC/DFM/MP issues, true signoff analysis, and automatic fixing of DRC/DFM/MP violations during the physical design process. Calibre InRoute ensures that all manufacturability issues are addressed without introducing new ones, and without degrading the performance of the design. The open router architecture also eliminates the need for any serial data transfers, as all the engines use the same hosted data model. Key features of Olympus-SoC with Calibre InRoute include:
- Automated, intelligent prevention of DRC/DFM issues
- True signoff analysis
- Automatic fixing of DRC and DFM violations during physical design

Triphala Review
43 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2260854 on May 09, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
My doctor for the last twenty-five years, who has what I would describe as a conservative medical practice, has a keen interest in Ayurvedic Medicine. In the past I have tried many homeopathic remedies and found them to be useless and never once resulted in whatever "as advertised" remedy. My doctor who I consider a friend, so believed in the positive results of Triphala that he gave me a free bottle. I skeptically took them morning and night. After hitting the internet hard on Triphala, the list of possible positive advantages of Triphala is a mile long which increased my skepticism. It appeared that at the top of the list of good results was removing toxins from the digestive tract and aiding in digestion and better food absorption. Now the set up. I am a chronic migraine sufferer getting a migraine every single day for thirty years, living on Imitrex and Fioricet on a daily basis. After three weeks my migraines began disappearing, acid reflux disappeared, ate less, bowel became regular, skin looked more healthy, more energy, etc. And even with this amazing results, I remain skeptical because it is just hard to believe one little thing like Triphala could be responsible for such positive results. So, as suggested I stopped taking it for two weeks after taking it for three months. After the first week off of Triphala, all the old crap started to come back, migraines, indigestion and so on. Went back on it after two and a half weeks off, and all of the good results have returned. I have literally begged a few friends to start and they are all reporting benefits. So there you go. I should also say that my doctor now takes it and he told me there was not one known side effect. Rich

I have been pleasantly surprised at the subtle but effective nature of these ayurvedic products. They seem very natural without all those coatings and this one is effective for soothing the digestive system. I have also started taking ashwagandha in the same brand which I really like too.
High quality and highly effective

I've used Triphala for years and have found the "Gold" to be better. Use less (one tablet instead of two) for the same effect.
