GStreamer on TI DaVinci and OMAP
Support for non linear playback on TI plugins
Current release of the plugins achieved the milestone of allowing synchronic audio and video playback, however the plugins need improvements to properly support more complex functions of gstreamer as seeking, fast forward and backwards playback.
Diego Dompe from RidgeRun, and Don Darling from TI are currently working on implementing this features. For discussion please locate them on the IRC channel.
Background information
Inside the gstreamer package source code, please refer to the following documentation to understand the implementation requirements:
- docs/design/part-trickmodes.txt
- docs/design/part-segments.txt
- docs/design/part-seeking.txt
Proposed changes
Requirement | Details | Comments | Status |
Provide flushing functionality | We need to properly handle FLUSH_START and FLUSH_STOP events | Code for this is already present on the branch by ddompe | |
Change draining functionality to avoid destroying the codec | On EOS event we need to drain the pipeline, but not destroy the codec | Code for this is already present on the branch by ddompe | |
Unref the EOS event and resend it after the draining is done | The EOS event should return immediately and a new EOS event should be send downstream when draining is completed | Code for this is already present on the branch by ddompe. | |
Abort pending EOS events during a flush event | Code for this is already present on the branch by ddompe | ||
The decode thread needs to implement frame clipping | On NEWSEGMENT event we need to capture clipping information for the decoded frames, and implement clipping on the decoder thread | Not implemented | |
Need to implement algorithm for fast forward | When new segment has a rate higher than 1.0 we need to either skip frames, or use a faster decoding mode, then update the rate to 1.0 for downstream elements | Optional | Not implemented |
Need to implement logic for backwards playing. | We need to add a frame queue after the decode thread to output frames in reverse order if rate < 0.0. The queue should be flushed in reverse order upon receiving an buffer with DISCONT flag, NEWSEGMENT or EOS. | Not implemented | |
Need to trigger the decode process upon receiving a full frame | We need to find a standard way (or some specific way for major containers) to trigger the decoding of frames upon arrival of a full frame. | Not implemented. | |
Test Cases
For the possible cases please review part-seeking.txt
Case | Status |
Flush seeking | Need more testing |
Non-flush seeking | Untested |
segment seeking with flush | Untested |
segment seeking without flush | Untested |

Video: How to wall mount a TV
Steve Kindig has been an electronics enthusiast for over 30 years. He has written extensively about home and car A/V gear for Crutchfield since 1985. Steve is also a volunteer announcer in the folk department of community radio station WTJU, where he is one of the regular hosts of "Atlantic Weekly."
More from Steve Kindig
Steve, Crutchfield editor and TV expert, and Jason, a Tech Support Specialist, wall mount a flat-panel TV in the Crutchfield Labs.
Video Transcript
Steve: We're in the Crutchfield labs, and Jason and I are going to show you how to wall mount a flat panel TV. If you're comfortable using common household tools, like these, you should be able to tackle this job.
First, we recommend that you read the directions for both the mount and the TV. They're usually pretty clear and take you through the installation step by step. And that can really save you a lot of time.
To start out, you attach the brackets to the TV. Every TV is different so you may have to try different bolts and spacers until you find the right combination for your TV. In this case, we needed to use spacers that came with the Samsung TV because they perfectly filled in the cups surrounding the bolt holes in back. We used the same bolt hole on the left and the right brackets to make sure that the TV would be level.
So the next step is to figure out where on the wall you want to put the TV. In our case, we decided to center it on the wall, so we measured the width of the TV and the width of the wall.
Height is going to be a consideration for everyone. So how high should you put your TV? We recommend that you put it at a level where the center of the screen is just about even with seated viewing height. Once you know about how high on the wall you want your TV, you can go to our website and use Crutchfield's height finder tool. So you plug in the item number of your TV and the item number of the wall mount, and the tool will tell you exactly where you need to drill your holes to get your TV at the right height.
Next you'll secure your wall plate to the studs in your wall. To do that, position the plate according to the measurements you got from the height finder and then use a stud finder to locate the studs. They're usually spaced sixteen to twenty-four inches apart in most homes. Then level the bracket and mark where you're going to drill your pilot holes for the bolts. When you drill the pilot holes, double check that you're actually drilling into the studs behind the drywall. Use a socket wrench to attach the bolts and wall plate to the wall. Double check that the bracket is level before you tighten the rest of the bolts.
Another thing to consider is how you'll connect the TV to your components. You can use products like wiremold to conceal the wires behind your wall, but in our case we ran the audio/video wires through the wall for a custom installed look. If you do that you'll want to use cables that are rated for in-wall use.
When it comes time to hang the TV on the wall, it's definitely a two person job. We even had a third person help us to plug in the cables into the TV. The brackets on the back of the TV will hook onto the wall plate and snap securely in place. Then check one last time to make sure the TV is level. Many brackets, like this one, will allow you to make minor adjustments after the TV is installed so you can change the tilt of the TV on your wall.
And now you're done. So just have a seat and enjoy the clean, uncluttered look of a wall mounted TV.
If you buy a TV from Crutchfield, you get free lifetime tech support. So if you have any questions when you're setting it up, you can call us up and talk to someone like Jason and he'll walk you through it.

Jim Woodrings Big Egypt Parlor Sphinx is Back! | |
Written by janice headley | Filed under merch, Jim Woodring | 15 Jan 2014 10:13 AM |
It's true! A few years ago, the mighty Jim Woodring teamed up with toy designers Cardboard Spaceship for this exclusive resin figurine of the Big Egypt Parlor Sphinx.
(As Jim describes on his Facebook page, "You can't tell from the image, but the label on the box was designed to look in all ways as if it were made in occupied Japan." Haw!)
Vinylpulse.com has some shots of the sculpts for the lil' guy. The finished resin figurine measures approx. 4" tall by 5" wide.
This toad is a prince, and we're happy to see him back in production! Hurry and get yours before he hops away and goes out-of-print again.

It'd be a bad ass poster if they showed the shield like this but it was held in the Winter Soldier's metallic arm.
Walt Disney and Marvel Studios have release the first teaser poster for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Check it out below.
Synopsis: Captain America: The Winter Soldier will pick-up where "Marvel's The Avengers" left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.
Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1941, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" features an outstanding supporting cast that includes Sebastian Stan ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "Black Swan") as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie ("The Hurt Locker," "Million Dollar Baby") as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Cobie Smulders ("Marvel's The Avengers," "How I Met Your Mother") as Agent Maria Hill, Frank Grillo ("Zero Dark Thirty") as Brock Rumlow and Georges St-Pierre ("Death Warrior") as Georges Batroc. Rounding out the talented cast are Hayley Atwell ("Captain America: The First Avenger") as Peggy Carter, Toby Jones ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "The Hunger Games") as Arnim Zola, Emily VanCamp ("The Ring 2," "Revenge") as Agent 13 and Maximiliano Hernández ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Thor") as Agent Jasper Sitwell.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is set for release in the U.S. on April 4, 2014.

Can't. Wait. Losing... sanity... control... release date... too far.....
Wait, wait, wait. Captain America has a shield & he WORKS FOR S.H.I E.L.D. Coincidence? I think not...
I hope his fighting style is more acrobatic, like it was in The Avengers. He was too flat-footed in the first Cap movie.

Daily OCD: 2/21/11 | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under Zak Sally, Tim Kreider, Roy Crane, reviews, Prince Valiant, Pirus and Mezzo, Mome, Love and Rockets, Los Bros Hernandez, Lorenzo Mattotti, Linda Medley, Lewis Trondheim, Leila Marzocchi, Ignatz Series, Hal Foster, Daily OCD, Carol Tyler, Captain Easy | 21 Feb 2011 4:59 PM |
Today's Online Commentary & Diversions includes links related to all of our artists with the initials L.M.:
• List: Sequential Tart's Rebecca Buchanan names Linda Medley's Castle Waiting one of "My Fourteen Favorite Comics About Love"
• Review: "Tim Kreider is a great caricaturist, as his latest collection of cartoons, Twilight of the Assholes, attests. He has a real knack for portraying the unsightly physical traits of modern Americans– the rolls of fat, the paunchy stomachs, the jowls, flabby arms and chinless faces — that make up more of the current populace than we'd care to admit (myself included). Plus, he's got a nice, razor-sharp wit that really cuts to the absurdity of a particular stance or issue, and he isn't afraid to get nasty or break a taboo to make his point, which can be refreshing." – Chris Mautner, Robot 6
• Review: "Cleverly constructed, laconically laid out in the classic nine-panel-grid picture structure and rendered in comfortingly mundane style a la Charles Burns, King of the Flies is a landmark in metafictional mystery tales. [...R]eaders will have to wait for the concluding book to discover how this stunning, mesmerising amalgam of Twin Peaks, Desert Palms, Peyton Place, The Omen and Blue Velvet plays out. A stylish and magical portmanteau saga of a community cursed with an excess of human frailty – lust, rage, greed, despair and especially shallow selfishness – this is a story that will surprise, compel, distress and haunt anybody with even half an imagination. Darkly addictive, casually violent and graphically sexual, King of the Flies is 'adults only' and well worth waiting until you're 18 for." – Win Wiacek, Now Read This!
• Review: "This is a story about purpose, inertia, the road blocks we throw up for ourselves and the ways in which we are forced to interact with a demanding and frequently demeaning world. This book feels intimate because unlike his past work, Sammy the Mouse has an immediacy to it that's quite different in tone from his earlier, more distant (but no less visceral) comics. [...] Sally's comics have an ugly physical quality to them that I've always liked, but the two-color process he uses here pushes the ugly/beautiful tension even further. [...] The care and thought that Sally put into adapting his comic into the Ignatz format shows on every page and makes the story resonate all the more." – Rob Clough, The Comics Journal
• Review: "It's hard to decide which Ignatz book is the best-looking purely from an aesthetic standpoint, but Leila Marzocchi's Niger has to be in consideration. It's another series that's dominated by two tones (in this case, rust red and a chalky blue) that's remarkable to behold simply in terms of its mark-making. There's a lushness to this series, in the way Marzocchi uses a scratchy technique that makes her figures and backgrounds look as though they were less drawn than constructed with dense webs of color. Her figures are fabulously exaggerated, all curves and bulbous noses. Everyone is larger than life, creating a sort of mysterious and slightly dark fairy tale atmosphere for this story. [...] It's an easy comic to follow and probably the friendliest to non-comics readers in the Ignatz line. While its ideas are original, its familiar feel creates a certain immediate comfort level for the reader as they delve into a strange and beautiful world. It's as though Niger is a favorite old fairy tale whose memory is just out of reach." – Rob Clough, The Comics Journal
• Review: "Instead of writing about the [Prince Valiant] series as a whole (or at least, those volumes I have read), I decided to do another one-page criticism. After much debate with myself I selected the page... dated December 1, 1940, appearing at the end of volume 2. In some respects this is a typical Hal Foster page, but in many ways it is not, which is partially why I chose it." – Derik Badman, The Panelists
• Plug: "ROY CRANE Mania! Just got my copy of Buz Sawyer: War in the Pacific, this and the Captain Easy volumes are long overdue. Thrilling stuff! Roy Crane is one of the unsung greats! Thrilling, charming, infectious masterful storytelling. Probably in my top five favorite cartoonists. Roy Crane drew some of the most subtly sexy women ever. ...[H]uzzah to Fantagraphics! Okay, I'm insane for Roy Crane. It may look old fashioned at first glance, but trust me, once you dive in you'll eat it up!" – Mike Allred
• Plug: "[Love and Rockets: New Stories #3] was as amazing as folks said it was. No knock against Gilbert, but Jaime murdered it this time around, absolutely killed, fired on all cylinders, drowned it in ink. Jeepers, someone give that man a cartooning medal." – Evan Dorkin
• Plug: "I forgot how much I enjoyed reading Carol Tyler's comics when I was tripping over them in various anthologies in the 80's/90's. I stumbled across this book [Late Bloomer] while cleaning up in the basement where all the comics that don't fit anywhere sleep, and was happy to revisit these pieces, as well as material I hadn't read before. The perils of buying a book and putting it aside for too long. Funny, warm, human, honest, occasionally beautiful/heartbreaking 'life' comics." – Evan Dorkin
• Plug: "I love Roy Crane and I'm super-happy [Captain Easy Vol. 1] is in print. Cartoonists and cartoonist-wonks, take heed, there is some beautiful work to be pored over here. ...Crane = Master." – Evan Dorkin
• Plug: "Regular readers of this blog will be aware of the release of Stigmata (Fantagraphics) just a few weeks ago. Featuring expressionist master Lorenzo Mattotti's swirling, cross-hatched pen line as if the story were recounting the fading memory of a dream about a drunk who one day wakes up marked with stigmata. It's an intense and perfectly balanced story, in hard cover with a wonderful Mattotti painting on the cover and it deserves to be a flagship title for any graphic novel collection." – Dave's Comics
• Interview: At The Comics Journal, Ian Burns talks to Shaun Partridge, writer of the Josh Simmons-drawn Mome serial "The White Rhinoceros" (part 1 of 3): "I think fun is the law. You should really enjoy life and laugh. That's what comedy's all about. Which is also alchemical, because you're taking something that is unpleasant and making jokes about it. You know, Dave Chappelle's a master alchemist. Larry David's an alchemist."
• Commentary: The Comics Reporter's Tom Spurgeon on Lewis Trondheim's The Nimrod and the purported "death of the alternative comic book"

I'm getting ready to assemble the paints for my RoG 1/144 Type VIIC. The color callouts do not appear to be Humbrol or any paints I recognize, thus some questions:
1) I've scoured the instructions and can't figure out what paint brand the callouts are for. Not Humbrol or Model Master, fer sure; ideas?
2) I'm going to model U-96: lightened "geshutzgrau, matt 74" on the upper hull, "granitegrau, matt 69" on the deck and "staubgrau, matt 77" on the lower hull. The only thing I've determined is that the deck is the darkest color, the lower hull a bit lighter and the upper hull the lightest of the three. Any suggestions for more specific colors?
3) The paint instructions also call out "grau, matt 57" for the interior walls of the tower. I would have thought it would be the same as the rest of the upper hull (with the deck the same as the main deck); are the instructions correct? Should the tower inside walls be lighter than the upper hull color?
4) BRASS propellers: Many modellers take great pains to weather their models to one degree or another. What about the propellers? I can't imagine that brass props would be all neat and shiny after weeks or months under water, but what would they realistically look like? Just flat (no shine)? Or would they also be somewhat corroded? How much?
This stuff was a lot easier when I was 10 and didn't know the difference! :^)
TIA for any help!

Congo Pygmies Surviving!

The Pygmy people of the Congo have endured danger after danger during the past twenty years, and still they survive. There have been constant wars, disease epidemics, and the devastation of forests in the Democratic Republic of Congo, previously called Zaire. During the past four years there has been an African continental war in the Congo as nearby countries, seeking to exploit the rich natural resources of the Congo, have sent troops to fight the Congolese as well as the armies of the other foreign intruders. Over 2 million people have been killed by that war, and many have had to flee to the forest to escape the violence.
On December 17, 2002, a peace agreement was finally reached among the combatants. The government of South Africa had been mediating a power-sharing plan to end the conflict. The Congo's president, Joseph Kabila, will remain in power for two years until elections are held. There will be four vice presidents, one from the government, one from the main political opposition, and two from rebel groups that have controlled the eastern part of the country. In the northeastern part, a Uganda-backed rebel force is still fighting against a Rwandan-backed force.
The infrastructure of the Congo — the roads, transportation, public services — has been demolished by the conflict, and much of the Congo has gone back to what it was in the 1800s, but much worse, because the traditional social structures have been wrecked, and much of the forest has also been damaged. Still, vast mineral and forest resources remain.
If in two years the parties attempt to create the usual Western-style democratic structures — a central government elected by a mass of voters divided into political parties — it will surely fail. The government will be captured by powerful moneyed interests, as once in power, the government is in effect an elected dictatorship. The wealth will be split between corrupt government officials and those extracting the forests and minerals. To have a genuine democracy, with the people benefiting from the natural resources, democracy must be grounded in local councils who then elect higher-level representatives. That will not only bring the power to the people but also provide a better defense against a takeover by a dictator.
Thanks to the heroic work of Jean-Pierre Hallet, founder and head of the Pygmy Fund, the Efé Pygmy people of the eastern Congo have been able to survive through all this chaos. One danger to them was the mining of coltan, the ore of the element tantalum, used in cell phones. The year-end 2002 Pygmy Fund newsletter reports that its international campaign to stop the environmental destruction caused by the mining has been successful: miners have been expelled from the forest home of the Pygmies. Another item of good news is that niobium is gradually replacing tantalum in the manufacturing of electronic capacitors.
But another threat remains, not just to Pygmies, but the entire Congo. As was reported in The Observer newspaper published in London, UK, the army of Zimbabwe may chop down 85 million acres (344 thousand square kilometers) of rain forest, an area 1.5 times that of the United Kingdom! The report says that logging rights were handed to the president of Zimbabwe in 1999 in exchange for military aid against the rebels. Laurent Kabila, a leader of rebels in eastern Congo, had earlier requested the assistance of Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, in ousting the Congo's president Seko. After taking power as president, Kabila was assassinated in 2001, and his son Joseph Kabila became president.
The Pygmies still urgently need basic agricultural tools, seeds, and medical help. Those who support the Pygmy Fund are vital in helping this unique remnant of an ancient people to survive. For more information, or to provide help, the Pygmy Fund's address is: P.O. Box 277, Malibu CA 90265. If you request information or the newsletter, please provide a donation, because the Pygmy Fund is a small organization that needs every possible dollar. In contrast with so many charities spending so much of their contributions on fund raising, a donation to the Pygmy Fund goes to help the Pygmies and has the greatest humanitarian effect of any organization I know of.

I am from the DRC and I was born in the Kivu so the pygmies are my people. So if there is any way that I can help I will do it but this has to be a legitimate organization. They have suffered enough!!!!
good work. i have been to katana forest and as a masters student in nairobi evangelical graduate school of theology, i want to do my thesis on pygmies. any information is welcome.

If you're locked out of your PC, you'll need a BitLocker recovery key to sign back in.
There are several reasons that might make a PC go into recovery mode. For example, your organization might have a password security policy that locks you out after a certain number of failed attempts to sign in. Or perhaps your PC encountered a hardware malfunction, an unexpected configuration change, or another security event. Requiring a recovery key helps ensure that only an authorized person can unlock your PC and restore access to your encrypted data.
Depending on how your PC is set up, there are different ways to get your recovery key.
Contact your administrator to get your recovery key.
There are several locations in which your BitLocker recovery key might have been saved. Here are some places to check:
Your Microsoft account online. This option is only available on non-domain-joined PCs. To get your recovery key, go to BitLocker Recovery Keys.
A saved copy of the recovery key. You might have saved a copy of the BitLocker recovery key to a file, a USB flash drive, or printed a hard copy.
If you saved the key to a file or printed it, find your copy, follow the instructions on your locked PC, and enter your key when prompted.
If you saved the key to a USB flash drive, insert the USB flash drive and follow the instructions on your PC. (If you saved the recovery key as a file on the USB flash drive, you'll need to open the file and manually enter the recovery key.)
If you're having problems with your Microsoft account, here are a few tips.
Go to the Reset your password page to resolve problems with your account.
The recovery key might not have been saved to your Microsoft account online. In this case, look for any copies of the recovery key you might have printed or saved to a file.
If you accidentally deleted the recovery key from your Microsoft account online and want to save it again, you need to force Windows to back up the recovery key automatically. The only way to do this is to switch to a local account, and then switch back to a Microsoft account.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click Users, tap or click Switch to a local account, and follow the instructions.
Repeat step 1, tap or click Users, tap or click Switch to a Microsoft account, and follow the instructions.
Unfortunately, if you can't find your key, and no other administrator on the PC can find a backup copy either, you'll need to restore the PC to factory default settings. Only choose this option as a last resort because it will delete your personal data from the PC. While it helps protect your data against unauthorized access, it also prevents you from ever accessing your data again.
Depending on your Windows configuration, you might be able to restore your PC to its factory default settings directly from the Windows recovery screen.
Tap or click the Learn more about resetting your PC to factory defaults link, and then follow the instructions.
In some Windows configurations, you might need to start the recovery process using a button instead.
Tap or click the Learn more about resetting your PC button, and then follow the instructions.
In other Windows configurations, you might have the option of skipping over certain drives without unlocking them.
Tap or click the Skip this drive link at the bottom of the BitLocker Drive Encryption screen to continue without unlocking the current drive.
If you skip all of the BitLocker-encrypted drives, you'll see a list of advanced repair and startup options to choose from.
Tap or click Repair and Restore, tap or click Other repair options, and then tap or click Factory Reset and follow the instructions.

"You love to sketch," I told him as he plopped down on the couch. "You should do a journal page for me."
What would I put on it?
"Well, what does hope mean to you?"
It means you never give up, no matter how bad things get.
"That's perfect. You should write that on there. It'll give people a place to start journaling. But you should draw something, too — something that makes you think of hope."
He comes back to the living room what seems like only 15 minutes later.
Here you go, Mom.�This character's name is Yoshina or sometimes he's called Ageha. He fights to help people who can't help themselves because someone saved him when he was little.
That's when I fight to hold back tears. That's when I ask if I can share a little bit of his story.
You can tell whatever you want, Mom. Maybe it could help somebody else.
And so I begin.

Fun bracket by the looks of it. One question: Why have Darth Vader facing Darth Maul in the second round? I would think Darth Maul would get a #2 seed instead of Cad Bane.
Oh and nice touch having C-3PO battling R2 in the first round haha. Wow, who is the #1 seed on the Light side's lower bracket? Ahsoka??? Now THAT is madness! Luke deserves that #1 seed in my opinion.

Secondly, as with all my ethnically inspired dishes, I don't claim this is in any way authentic. I'm sure it's not, but not having ever had "real" Moroccan couscous I can't argue which version is better, so I'll just assume mine is.
2 cups couscous
That looks good! I'll have to make it sometime these days...
As a foreigner in this country, I used to feel mostly disappointment when I tried the stuff I encountered under the name "Hungarian Goulash". Particularly when it came as a cheese, tomato and pasta bake. The only thing that actually annoyed me was when people declared that they hated "Hungarian Goulash" having only tried the Americanized versions. The rest is all cool...well, slightly disappointing at the initial few tries when one still expects to find their comfort food in a different country :-)
As an Italian living in the UK I often see Italian food completely massacred here, but massacring is different from reusing some ingredients in other ways.
About the name, couscous is used both for the dish and the ingredient and the usage of the term changes in different countries.
Also, couscous cannot be claimed as their dish only by Moroccans; it's used (and used in different ways) in a lot of Mediterranean countries, including Southern Italy.
As couscous refers also to the semolina granules and not just the dish, I say call it couscous.
Also it'd be nice that the person that thinks it is not authentic, explain why and how they actually do it. I personally think just pointing fingers without giving any tips/advice is not the best of attitudes.
Also I think pretty much every dish cooked out of its country or folks will be desecrated by foreigners according to the locals no matter what you do, so do what you like.
Chef John: my hero
I'm from Tennessee, and these grits are in no way authentic. :)
the suspense was worth it.
versatility is my broke-college-graduate middle name.
thanks Chef John!!
This actually looks good, when I went to an Arab's house it was lunch time: we well just get on well together (the couscous and I) and so I had to turn to bread and hummus. Being from the Indo-pak region..I like more flavour, but I do find Arab sweets amazing!!
Of course it's not authentic couscous... the video is only 4 minutes.
Shoot as a ex NYker living in Canada, I have to live with their idea of what pizza is supposed to be. I try to enjoy it, but I never mistake it for the real thing. On a good day, I can almost forget.
But hey I applaud Chef John for expanding everyone's culinary borders. If only we could base foreign relations on the beauty of their cuisine, food is universally amazing...
Just to be on the safe side, call everything "vittles."
Deborah Madison in her classic "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" explain how to prepare couscous in a traditonal way that make it light and fluffy. Grains don't stick together. Very good but it take much longer to prepare.
Cheers !
Chef John, would your liberal approach to food authenticity extend to Fabio Viviani's "booger" on Top Chef?
I LOVE the let's just call it vittles comment! People have too much time on their hands if they need to complain about how someone else cooks his food. Don't like it? Don't eat it. It's really that simple.
This is a yummy looking recipe and I'm going to cook it soon. I'll call it Vittles with Couscous.
I missed that episode!!
Thank you, Maureen. "Vittles," is a term that just isn't used much anymore. Instead of Cous-Cous Primavera, I'm making this tonight and calling it Veggie Vittles. And I'm putting some Moroccan Harissa sauce on it!
This video will cause a revolution in Morocco...
Just letting you know Chef John. Not that you're to blame or anything but..
Other than a massacre this looks pretty good. I love asparagus ... maybe with a little dressing too.
Looking good, thanks Chef John
hahahahah i read what some moroccoan write to ya and it made me laugh...there is thousand ways to make good couscous not only 1 like this person told.i love couscous and i adore tunisian couscous but in same time i make all different things and ways to cook it.with meat without with vegetables with beans etc.keep going and good luck
sorry i forgot to say
when u mix oil to couscous put little hot(not boiling water) water too and then mix all with couscous.my motherin law is tunisian and i learn to make couscous there.when u put oil and water it help to be more delisious and not to try.and real couscous not pasta :)
Next time, add Italian sausage and Moroccan lamb so you can rename it Mixed Meataphor.
Chef John,
Couscous dishe (s) are being cooked from Morocco to Tunisia. Many ways and not only one. It is not your fault that Couscous is written in the packages instead of Rolled Semoulina for couscous, I guess it makes it easy to sell!
I'm Moroccan by the way!
I since you haven't tried to say : I am making a Moroccan couscous" while you made your primavera version I don't feel offended!
Somebody said you find couscous dished in Southern Italy...A quick research in History from fair Historian will bring this back to the time Sicilia and surrounding sections of Italy used to trade with Arabs. They have other Arab inspired dishes and musics...When they want to admit it!
That Said! The Rolled semoulina has been imported abroad as couscous and besides the traditional couscous versions in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, one should be open to use it with other ingredients!
I hope this helps!
As a trained chef (and food lover) you should *never* let anyone get away with a comment such as "there is one way, and one way only, to prepare" anything! I cannot think of a single food or ingredient for which that statement is true. I love coming to your site and discovering new ways to prepare food and new recipes to try.
Since Moroccan cuisine is already an amalgam of numerous surrounding cultures, claiming singular authenticity for a particular dish is pretty specious. How about we won't "massacre" couscous if the writer won't massacre the spelling of "Please"? I'm making this couscous tonight in protest of food facism!!
how boring the world would be if there really were 'one way and only one way' to cook anything! keep on riffing, Chef!
Wait, what? Who said Canadians don't know how to make pizza?
As for couscous, it's an ingredient. Make of it what you will!
Authentic or not, I would like to see Moor recipes like this one.
And in Soukaina's honor, I'm going to make couscous with bacon, just for the halal of it.
After Chris K. post, I can't help myself:
This (with my own additions/changes) totally rocked. The wife is in heaven!
I made this today except it was totally and completely different. I added chopped tomatoes, finely chopped asparagus and sweet peas to egg noodles, salt, pepper, and a MASSIVE dollop of everyone's favourite: home-made creme fraiche. It was to die for and heavily inspired by this recipe.
I am Chinese, should I be annoyed by all the chinese resturants that are not in China then? Of course not. Cooking food in a certain way is just a concept and conveniently named after different regions. You should experienment with your cooking, except when you really want to make it in a specific way that is already named, then maybe its better to stick to a that recipe. This sort of email is rediculous. I love your variations on chinese food. :)
Chef John you Rock! <3
This was fantastic! My variation was that I substituted cremini mushrooms with the asparagus, added some crushed garlic, and just used the cumin (only because I knew the jalapenos would be a bit much for me). This tastes so good and smells so fragrant. Thank you!
I'm part Moroccan, and I gotta say Chef John, your couscous looks so friggin delish!!
Food is FOOD, and couscous is couscous, so you making your own couscous, is still..couscous lol. So that Soukina lady's delusional.
Guess its understandable because ALL YOUR DISHES CHEF JOHN, IS SOOO EYE BOGGLING that everyone gets sucked into it! Therefore, leading the lady into a more confused state.
Do more fusion dishes!! Love it!
Chef John,
I made this last night and at the very end when I lifted off the foil I added diced rotisserie chicken and then fluffed it up. Not vegetarian anymore, but pretty dern good! I could see myself adding some saute'd Portabello Mushroom strips as a variation as well.
I made this a few days ago and it is so good! Thank you Chef John
It was my first time making couscous and I'm still a beginner in cooking. Surprisingly it turned out delicious and great! Thanks for sharing us your recipe and I love watching your videos; it has helped me a lot. I was a bad cook but I'm improving because of you. =)
I tried this, and it turned out great! My family loved it, and even I loved it! Despite my hatred for Asparagus! Thanks again Chef John for another awesome dish!
I made this for my mom and dad, who hate couscous lol and they loved it. I omitted the Jalapeños because I didn't have any on hand.... :P but it was great, thank you!
Well, I've come to peace with couscous being used for other things than traditional Moroccan couscous, but I still can't bring myself to do it... lol
Looks good though! ;)
It´s quite disturbing to read that you say "I can't argue which version is better, so I'll just assume mine is.". Are you serious? being a cook and you assume your version is better than the "traditional" and not to mention that you HAVEN´T tasted version?
Just accept that you messed it and accept that Americanized version of many dishes around the globe are not the best versions nor nearly close to the original.
I made this recipe (and any of your recipes) for the first time & it was a hit. It was the first time my family have tried asparagus or couscous. We used bullion cubes. I was worried the asparagus might be bitter but it was good. Super easy & can be customized. Loved it for a rice hater like me! Thank you!
I just made this, and topped it with some grilled pressed tofu. IT'S SOOO GOOD! Thanks :)

CyndiHairAuburnDry HairCurly HairIt's The Best For Curly HairI bought this after reading the other reviews. I was trying to find a product for my curly hair. Quidad Botanical Boost really does leave your hair soft and Moist after it dries. No need for extra conditioner or gels. I have even used it a few days later to put some spring back into my curls. Where I live is very hot and dry , so your hair tends to dry out more and have a lot of hair breakage. I have been using this product of over 1 year now and have noticed less breakage and much softer hair.posted Aug 12, 2014Link to this post

Good Hair HuntingDenver, COHairAuburnDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairNot This Time...My hair is: (henna'd, 4b/c/d/e, shoulder length,low porosity)
I bought this product because: Recommended by a stylist with beautiful hair. Read the Ouidad book.
I used it this way: to fresh my hair on the 2nd day and beyond
My results were: so so - I was not impressed.
I liked it/didn't like it because: It takes away the definition that I get from braiding my hair the night before.
I would/wouldn't recommend it because: I may continue to use it as a detangler on wash day. I probably won't repurchase. It costs too much. I could do the same or better with conditioner watered down in a spray bottle. I think it may dry out my hair.

Cheshtangs are chinese, japanese, and korean people. Usually in farsi, the word "cheshtang" means a man/women who has tight eyes like chinese, japanese, and korean people. If you up to a cheshtang and say, "hey yo cheshtang whats up"? They will be so confused, but if you call them chiney, they'll get so pissed of at you. Cheshtang is the same definiton as bushchob, but bushchob means plate in farsi and usually cheshtangs have flat faces so they call them bushchobs (plates).
cheshtang: kooneecheewah welcome to my store, what do you want?
persian: wait....
cheshtang: what do you want commmon tell me you persian.
persian: fuck you fucken "cheshtang"!!!!!!!!!!!
persian: wait....
cheshtang: what do you want commmon tell me you persian.

When a Girl is about to fart whilst a man is performing Oral sex, the man quickly puts his mouth up to her balloon knot, Catches the Flatulence within his mouth, and blows it back into her, all while maintaining a perfect seal against the anus. As he is pulling his lips away, the leftover saliva from his mouth ends up creating a liquid barrier, which the re-inserted gas presses against and maintains perfect surface tension to produce a bubble. The man then winks, and then pops the bubble cheekily. Also called a Ms. or Mrs. Bubbles depending on Gender of the cunnilingus performer, and marital status.
Jimmy gave me a Mr. Bubbles when I told him I wanted him to stop giving me head cause I had Gas.

The perfect go-to
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've bought these gloves for the last 5-6 years as they are usually worn out by the time the winter season is over. I wear them for practically every ride down to 35 degrees! They are awesome. The original ones had a small tapered cuff which really helped seal around the wrist, but for some reason they did away with it. They're super thin, and you'd think they couldn't handle down to 35 deg, but they're great. Careful, there can be some crookedly sewn fingers here and there, otherwise these really shatter any other glove.

Purchased these for the shoulder season rides. They are perfect for the brisk cooler rides, and are very flexible and comfortable too.
perfect for 40 degree days
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got these to ride my mountain bike in the NC and VA area they are great. They fit great on my long skinny fingers. I usually have a hard time finding gloves of any kind that fit my hands but these are great. The lowest temperature I have ridden in with these gloves is in the low 30's. I would use more insulated glove for lower temperatures. Over all a great glove

Here's what others have to say...
Customer service at its Finest
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I where a size 15 shoe so finding anything in cycling gear is a problem. So when I found these in XXLG it was a no brainer to try them. But to be sure I could return them I called.
After explaining my shoe size The salesman told me if they dont fit just return them no problem. So we found four pair that should fit and ordered them. He also made note that I would be calling in for a return so when I did, They emailed me the return label. no questions So awesome that they do what they say!!!!
Now for the shoe covers, nice and bright fit perfectly only have 43 miles in them but it was below 40 F and windy with some light rain. Feet nice and toasty dry!!!
Plus side is wife is happy that they bright with a reflective heal and easy to get on and off.

Didn't Mania report this when he died back in June?
Thanks to Moz72 for the submission.
I thought he died a couple of months ago?? Did he die AGAIN? Interesting!
I practically grew up watching Mr. Lynch on many tv programs. RIP Mr. Lynch
Yes. Lynch has been gone for months now. Find a low budget gem called "God Told Me To" and look for Lynch as the villain, and a brief role by Andy Kaufman as a cop who goes postal on a parade crowd.
Err... yeah.
A little out of date with the story.
And in other current events...Tony Scott is gone too!
Soirry Guys..it was my bad. I was on their site and I saw the article in bold, but did not realize the date. Again, sorry about that, but I actually didn't know he passed in June. Must have missed that. Sorry Rob
Err... umm.... Rob Trate?? You do realize he died back on June 19 don't ya?? So you're telling me that after he died in the summer, he either faked his death or resurrected to die again today?!?
Plain and simple question... who screwed up reporting it? Because I still see his obit as June 19.
Sorry guys... I was sent this story Moz72 today... sorry I missed it originally and thought he was worth remembering.
I didn't know he died then either. Must have missed that entirely. Wow Sword and the Sorcerer, now that brings back memories. Not good ones, but memories.
I hadn't heard either, RIP Richard.
Look in SciFi NOBODY stays dead forever. (soap operas too) so this is the ultimate villian 2nd death! He will be bak and more evil next time...

Chapter 1 - An overview on Gender statistics
Similar to other statistics, gender statistics have to respond to the needs of policy makers, advocates, researchers, the media and the public. Gender statistics can be used to (a) promote understanding of the actual situation of women and men in society; (b) advance gender analysis and research; (c) monitor progress toward gender equality and full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental rights by women and girls; (d) develop and monitor policies and programmes oriented toward increased investments in human capital and labour force; (e) support gender mainstreaming in development and poverty reduction policies; and (f) develop and monitor policies on reduction of violence against women.
(a) Gender statistics promote understanding of the actual situation of women and men in society
Gender statistics are about everybody and each of us, women or men. The production of gender statistics has the role of informing the public and the media, raise consciousness, encourage public debate, and promote change in society. Dissemination of gender statistics to a large audience is crucial in reducing gender stereotypes and misrepresentation of the roles of women and men and their contribution to society; and promoting a new gender balance in the distribution of roles within the family, at the workplace and in positions of decision-making.
+ (b)
Gender statistics are crucial in advancing data-based gender analysis and research
Gender statistics provide researchers and analysts with the quantitative evidence necessary to assess gender gaps in all areas of life; understand the interlinks between cultural, social and economic factors that are at the basis of gender inequality, and their dynamic over time; and evaluate the implications of unequal access of women and men to social and economic opportunities.
+ (c)
Gender statistics are used in monitoring progress toward gender equality and full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental rights by women and girls
Gender equality means equal opportunities, rights and responsibilities for women and men, girls and boys (United Nations, 2002). Equality does not mean that women and men are the same or have to do the same things, but that women's and men's opportunities, rights and responsibilities do not depend on whether they are born female or male; and it implies that the interests, needs and priorities of both women and men should be taken into consideration (United Nations, 2002).
Gender statistics are the basis for constructing gender indicators, a useful tool in monitoring progress towards gender equality goals. Not all statistics are indicators. In general, a statistic becomes an indicator when it has a reference point against which value judgments can be made (CIDA, 1997). Indicators have a normative nature, in the sense that a change from the reference point (a norm or a bench-mark) in a particular direction can be interpreted as "good" or "bad" (CIDA, 1997). In the case of gender statistics, the status of women in a particular country is usually evaluated by reference to (comparison with) the situation of men in that country. In a few cases – such as for maternal mortality or access to antenatal services - the norm is the situation of women in other countries. Gender indicators can point out gender-related changes over time and thus measure whether the goal of gender equality is being achieved. For example, three gender indicators are used to monitor one of the eight Millennium Development Goals that refers to gender equality and the empowerment of women: gender parity index for gross enrolment ratio in primary, secondary and tertiary education; proportion of employees in non-agricultural employment who are women; and proportion of seats held by women in single or lower houses of national parliaments.
+ (d)
Gender statistics provide an evidence base for developing and monitoring policies and programmes oriented toward increased investments in human capital and labour force
Gender statistics can show whether women and men have unequal access to education, health, or economic resources and orient policies toward improving the opportunities of the disadvantaged sex and a more effective use of both female and male human resources. Furthermore, gender statistics can help understanding the causes of gender inequality in access to all types of resources. This aspect is very important, because policies tend to be more effective when targeting the causes of gender inequality, the structures and practices that perpetuate inequalities, and not merely the outcome of gender inequality in an unjust and unsustainable development process (United Nations, 2002).
+ (e)
Gender statistics have a crucial role in gender mainstreaming in development and poverty reduction policies
Policies and measures tend to perpetuate and exacerbate inequalities when not adequately tailored to existing gender differentials (Hedman et al, 1996). One of the first steps in the gender mainstreaming strategy of a policy is the assessment of how and why gender differences and inequalities are relevant (United Nations, 2002). At this stage, gender statistics can provide information on responsibilities, activities, interests and priorities of women and men, and how their experience of problems may differ; how women and men respond to social, economic and policy changes; and what is the role of gender differentiated access to economic resources and decision-making in the process of change.
Gender statistics have been at the basis of proving that attention to gender perspectives and gender equality can result in efficiency gains. Research has revealed that reducing gender inequality could significantly increase productivity, total national output, and the human capital of the next generation (United Nations, 2002). For example, based on gender statistics, the 2012 World Development Report showed that "eliminating barriers that discriminate against women working in certain sectors or occupations could increase labour productivity by as much as 25 per cent in some countries"; more educated women with greater control over household resources have spending patterns that benefit the current and future situation of their children; and that "empowering women as economic, political, and social actors can change policy choices and make institutions more representative of a range of voices" (World Bank, 2011).
Use of gender statistics can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the gender dimensions of poverty, which in turn, can significantly change priorities in policy and program interventions (World Bank, 2002). Gender statistics can address multiple dimensions of poverty and inequality, including gender-based asset inequality, intrahousehold allocation of resources, time poverty, or vulnerability to external shocks. Understanding the gendered nature of poverty will significantly improve both the equity and efficiency of poverty reduction strategies (World Bank, 2002).
+ (f)
Gender statistics have an important role in developing and monitoring policies on reduction of violence against women
Violence against women is an obstacle to the achievement of the objectives of equality, development and peace (United Nations, 1995). Statistics on prevalence of various types of violence; causes and consequences of violence; and access to formal and informal support for victims of violence can lead to better focused and more efficient preventive and intervention efforts.

Mr Kenn Brown from Mid Coast Special Olympics in Australia had a dream. Special Olympics NSW put out a call for a volunteer for someone to come forward and coach Snow Skiing and Kenn Brown volunteered some years ago. First of all it was opened for only NSW Special Olympians but Kenn knew in his heart that Victoria probably would have some interested athletes so Victoria and Queensland were invited to attend along with the NSW interested athletes and hence Special Olympics now had 3 states who were rearly to go and for the last 2/3 years this is how the Annual Ski Camps have functioned. Five athletes were selected to be the first Special Olympic Athletes to represent Australia at a World Games. These remarkable 5 athletics have won thus far 2 Gold,3 Silver and 4 Bronze Medals. Well done to the athletes themselves, their coaches, their parents but in particular I feel that Special Olympics Australia should recognise the dream Kenn Brown had all those years ago. Well done everyone.

Oh ya. 2.1 is the magic number. It runs most things. I sure wish they would update nivdias driver. The few cards that can do hardware acceleration are pretty much stuck at OpenGL 2.0. I knew ATI's would e first ones into the open 2.1 field.
Phoronix: ATI Radeon R600 Mesa Classic Driver Can Do OpenGL 2.1
As many people have been quick to report out today in the forums, on Phoronix IRC, and via email, the ATI R600 Mesa DRI driver for the Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series graphics cards now properly advertises OpenGL 2.1 / GL Shading Language 1.20 support...
Oh ya. 2.1 is the magic number. It runs most things. I sure wish they would update nivdias driver. The few cards that can do hardware acceleration are pretty much stuck at OpenGL 2.0. I knew ATI's would e first ones into the open 2.1 field.
Boy am I glad I bought ATI cards. I did not expect that the driver development was going to be this good overal
Thank you devs and AMD!
My Evergreen is still on the shelf, so right now I'm using an onbeard r600, but I'm looking forward to plugging in that HD5770
Again thanks to all who made this happem!
PS: if somebody would like to have a silent r350 9800 pro to hack away at, let me know. I'll send it to wherever you live and for free.
Since Michael used my thread to make an news update about, and I mentioned wine preferring OpenGL 2.1 which was included in the article I decided to double check that so I don't look dumb.
Heres the wine commit that I was referring to http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.gi...e82309c640b59f
So apparently GLSL wasn't being used at all before today.
But I did find a regression. I just fired up WoW in DirectX mode and I get a black screen at the menu. Sound works though.
OpenGL mode had always been glitchy and crashed really often for me, but it's the same before and after OpenGL 2.1
Maybe worth mentioning that X2: Reunion works (again) with latest Mesa git, although with some graphical glitches and less-than-glorious performance. So space addicts like myself can finally satisfy their problem without starring at severly corrupted textures (as with fglrx).
Thanks r600 devs!
(X3 still crashes though)
congradulations to r600 chip owners, you now have full opengl support via two seperate driver options. unfortunatly you can only use one at a time ! what a f'in bummer, eh ?
as for suckers like me, who happened to buy ati gear just a few months too early, i guess we can just keep taking it in the ass. no biggie.
