The EXHIBIT:
A RIGHT To the city
A Right to the City explores the history of neighborhood change in the nation's capital, and its rich history of neighborhood organizing and civic engagement that transformed the city in the face of tremendous odds.
With a focus on a diverse range of neighborhoods across the city, the exhibition tells the story of how ordinary Washingtonians have helped shape and reshape their neighborhoods in extraordinary ways: through the fight for quality public education, for healthy and green communities, for equitable transit and equitable development, and for a genuinely democratic approach to city planning.

Map Block #2
Schedule Block #5
After a half-century of population decline and disinvestment, Washington, D.C., and similar urban centers around the country have been witnessing a "return to the city," with rapidly growing populations, rising rents and home prices, but also deepening inequality.

Het Nationaal park Strzelecki is een nationaal park in het zuidwesten van Flinderseiland, wat ten noordoosten ligt van Tasmanië. Het park is genoemd naar de Poolse en ontdekkingsreiziger en geoloog Paul Edmund Strzelecki, die veel in dit gebied werkzaam was.

Het park bestaat uit een kuststrook met landinwaarts enkele lage bergen met Mount Strzelecki als hoogste punt. De bodem bestaat voornamelijk uit graniet. De vegetatie in het park is redelijk uniek, omdat dit een van de weinige plaatsen is, waar de vegetatie van het vasteland van Australië voorkomt met de eilandvegetatie van Tasmanië.

Het park is toegankelijk voor bezoekers en bereikbaar met de auto. Langs de westkant van het park loopt een weg, die toegang geeft tot een parkeerplaats en een picknick- en kampeerplaats. Van hieruit zijn wandelingen te maken in het park, langs de kust en naar de top van Mount Strzelecki.

Q: Migration of BotState to Azure Table Storage: no more possibility to access UserData without IDialogContext? I recently switched my custom state data from the now deprecated StateClient to Azure Table Storage using Microsoft documentation, following the steps:

*

*Created a storage

*Added to connection strings

*Added to Autofac registration in Global.asax.cs

This is working well for all call like context.UserData.SetValue("myKey", "myValue"); inside dialogs.
But it seems that there is no more possibility to get UserData directly from an Activity object when we have no IDialogContext, for example if you want to use these data from your MessageController.
Previously, I was doing:
var botState = activity.GetStateClient().BotState;
var userData = await botState.GetUserDataAsync(activity.ChannelId, activity.From.Id, token);

These actions are announced as deprecated in latest BotBuilder release. Any solution to do the equivalent?
EDIT:
Adding my global.asax.cs:
public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Filters.Add(new ExceptionFilter());

        var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

        //register the bot builder module
        builder.RegisterModule(new DialogModule());

        //register project dependencies
        builder.RegisterModule(new BotModule());

        //Http config
        var config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;

        //register controller
        builder.RegisterApiControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());

        //create container
        var container = builder.Build();
        config.DependencyResolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(container);

        GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
    }
}

And the BotModule associated:
public class BotModule : Module
{
    protected override void Load(ContainerBuilder builder)
    {
        base.Load(builder);

        // Scorable pour l'interruption de dialogue
        builder.Register(c => new InterruptScorable(c.Resolve<IDialogTask>())).As<IScorable<IActivity, double>>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();

        // Manage BotData in Sql Datatable
        var store = new TableBotDataStore(ConfigurationHelper.XXXXX, "BotData");
        builder.Register(c => store).Keyed<IBotDataStore<BotData>>(AzureModule.Key_DataStore).AsSelf().SingleInstance();
        builder.Register(c => new CachingBotDataStore(store, CachingBotDataStoreConsistencyPolicy.ETagBasedConsistency)).As<IBotDataStore<BotData>>().AsSelf().InstancePerLifetimeScope();

        // Logger de conversation
        builder.Register(c => new ActivityLogger(c.Resolve<IBotData>())).As<IActivityLogger>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();

        // Dialogue de base
        builder.RegisterType<RootDialog>().As<IDialog<object>>().InstancePerDependency();
    }
}

A: I've modified your code a little, to remove the deprecated .Build() method.
public class WebApiApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        Conversation.UpdateContainer(builder =>
        {
            builder.RegisterModule(new DialogModule());
            builder.RegisterModule<BotModule>();
            builder.RegisterApiControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
        });

        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new AutofacWebApiDependencyResolver(Conversation.Container);

        GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
    }
}

After registering the modules this way, the code Jason Sowers shared on this issue should help: How can I access Bot Framework ConversationData outside of a dialog?

When selecting a camouflage pattern, it's important to keep in mind how camouflage works, and your purpose for selecting the camouflage in the first place. Then, you can select the pattern that will work best for you.
Camouflage has one main purpose: making you harder to see; however, it accomplishes this purpose in a number of ways.
Color matching (C): The first step to camouflage is wearing garments that are the same basic colors as your surroundings.
Pattern disruption (P): The next step in effectively camouflaging yourself is to break up your outline so those looking at you cannot pick out your true shape.
Optical illusion (O): Many modern camouflage patterns use a combination of sharp foreground objects and blurred background patterns to create an illusion of depth in the fabric—a 3D form of pattern disruption.
Realistic images (I): With modern digital printing techniques, modern camouflage fabric can be printed with images that realistically match the details of the environment where the user is trying to find concealment.
Big game hunting (B): When hunting big game such as deer or elk, you need to match the types of environments where the game is found, mostly woodlands.
Waterfowl hunting (W): Similarly, when you're hunting waterfowl, you want to match the environments where the fowl are found, such as grassy marshlands.
Airsoft and other tactical games (A): To participate in this fun hobby, you want a different style of camouflage pattern that is more color-matched to your surroundings because people have excellent color vision.
Decorative (D): Camouflage patterns are now considered so attractive that they are often used for decorative purposes in bedspreads, bath décor, swimwear, and more.
Below are some basic descriptions of a few representative camouflage patterns with their camouflage strategies and potential uses.
These are, of course, only a few of the camouflage patterns available for consideration. Since the private camouflage market opened up in the mid-1980s, literally hundreds of patterns have been developed, refined, and even retired in favor of new alternatives.


The 1000 walkways and balconies had suffered from degradation caused by air borne pollutants and constant trafficking.

A young man pines for his lady love.
Her parents have sent her away so she'll forget him. It sounds as if she might be anticipating a reunion upon their return, however.
Dreaming of you at sunset.
Watching a few high clouds.
I whisper your name out loud.
Thanking you for the postcard.
Hello to the folks back home."
I know they sent you over there to lose me.
I know you said the time would hasten by.
I know these witty postcards should amuse me.
But how I wish that homeward bird would fly.
You're due to land next Sunday.
Holding my breath 'til then.
High clouds and a kiss I send . . . to you.


"Hasselhoff" is the latest cut off of Ransom 2, out Friday.
After revealing the full track listing for his official debut studio album, Ransom 2, on Thursday, Mike Will Made It released the fourth single in advance of the project on Sunday night.
"Hasselhoff" finds Lil Yachty in one of his more aggressive flows over a menacing beat from the EarDrummers label head. The title is, of course, a reference to David Hasselhoff of Baywatch fame.
The song follows "Nothing Is Promised" featuring Rihanna, "Gucci On My" with 21 Savage, YG, and Migos, and "On the Come Up" with Big Sean in the lead up to Ransom 2, which is due out this Friday, March 24. Yet another new track, "Perfect Pints," which features Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, and Rae Sremmurd, was previewed this week at The FADER FORT, as well as teased on Mike Will's Twitter account.

Cyprus: The rejected 2004 flag proposal
According to the website of the Embassy of Cyprus in Copenhagen, the flag was modified by Decision No. 63.673/20-04-2006 of the Ministerial Council.
The outline of the Cyprus map looks larger and more defined than previously and the olive leaves have more detail. The proportions of the flag were changed from 3:5 to 2:3.
Paraskevas Renesis & Ben Cahoon, 30 October 2012
Quoting Alexia Saoulli, Cyprus Mail:
Letterheads and government documents bearing the Republic of Cyprus' official emblem will carry the standardised version following a cabinet decision to revise the State seal.
The Cyprus flag has also been changed as part of the improvement package, a Communication Ministry official said yesterday.
The decision to change both the emblem and flag was prompted by Communication Minister Harris Thrassou who wanted the emblem"s colours coded.
Up until now the yellow and green on the flag or emblem wasn"t coded. It simply had to be more or less yellow or green. The minister said he wanted specific colours to make all emblems and flags uniform.[...]
During the discussion to colour-code the Republic's seals, it was suggested that the actual images of both the emblem and flag be standardised as well.
The new shield depicts a clearer image of the dove holding an olive branch in its mouth. The olive branches underneath were also reduced and made clearer. The same was done for the flag, and the image of the island of Cyprus was also enlarged and the olive leaves brought closer to it.
They were basically made clearer, the ministry official said. The images were devised by graphic designer Philippos De Caston and approved by the cabinet in March.
According to the official the ministry is now examining how best to fly the flag. At present when the flag is hanging on the mast it simply looks like a white cloth. The ministry wants it to hang in such a way that the actual image shows. We are still examining ways to make this possible and should have a decision in the coming months, the official said.
Ivan Sache, 29 April 2007
The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12]) provides recommendations for national flag designs. Each NOC was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60 x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not be the official, government, version of each flag, they are certainly what the NOC believed the flag to be.
For Cyprus, PMS 1385 yellow, 574 green. The vertical flag is simply the horizontal version turned 90 degrees clockwise.

Former flag of Cyprus - Image by Martin Grieve, 7 September 2006
According to SAVA Newsletter [sav] #27, the flag of Cyprus was selected by the President of the Republic, Archbishop Makarios, in 1960 after a proposal made by a school teacher who brought him a message from the Vice-President Fazil Küçük.
Jaume Ollé, 24 January 2001
Quoting Jean Christou, Cyprus Mail, 19 June 2006:
İsmet Guney, the Turkish Cypriot artist and teacher who designed the Cyprus flag is seeking payment from the government, 46 years after Archbishop Makarios chose his design to represent the new Republic of Cyprus.
According to reports in the Turkish Cypriot press yesterday Guney claims that Makarios promised him £20 a year for designing the flag but he was never paid.
He [Guney] now wants his money plus compensation for copyright usage. The total by now would amount to £920 after 46 years.
The reports said Guney had hired a Greek Cypriot law firm to push his case but it did not specify which one. His lawyers have already sent a letter to President Tasssos Papadopoulos giving him ten days to respond and meet the payment. If he receives no reply Guney said he was prepared to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Responding to the reports yesterday, left-wing AKEL spokesman Andros Kyprianou said that if such an agreement existed between Guney and Makarios it should be looked into by the government.
Ivan Sache, 19 June 2006
The white flag was chosen for the young Cyprus as a sign of peace among the two antagonistic communities living there (Turks and Greeks). The map of the island is golden/yellow, for the sake of easier reproduction of what was originally intended to be a colour of copper, a metal that got its name from the island name. Most probably, since there is no brownish-reddish-copper colour in heraldry, the map was changed to golden. Green olive tree branches stand for peace, again.
Željko Heimer, 12 November 1998
Quoting Reuters:
Cyprus says independent minded flag makers have been adding their own creative touches to the national flag for 45 years and it's time to get it right.
[...] Andreas Christou, director of the government supplies office, says: "It seems every department has been going to local manufacturers and some like the colours lighter, some darker. They like the map bigger or smaller."
Now, flags flying the wrong colour will be replaced by ones with the correct shade of copper, he told the daily Cyprus Mail newspaper.
That shade is neither yellow, nor orange nor red but copper, and to be precise, 144c, to reflect the Mediterranean island's historical attachment to the metal.[...]
Lewis Nowitz, 24 October 2005
Pedersen [ped70] just calls it yellow. Smith [smi77], too. Pedersen's recent book [rya98a] says that copper is the proper colour, and yellow is the usual (my translation from Danish).
Ole Andersen, 29 July 1999
The Ancient Greeks got most of their copper from the island, and the Romans imported a good deal as well. The Greek word for copper (from which the English is derived) actually means "Cyprus metal".
According to Petit Larousse Illustré, the French word cuivre is derived from Latin cyprium aes, "Cyprus bronze".
Mike Oettle & Ivan Sache, 17 December 2001
The Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus (text), adopted on 6 April 1960, is the only Constitution in the world that allow the authorities and private citizens of the country to fly national flags other than their own, as follows:
Article 4.
The Republic shall have its own flag of neutral design and colour, chosen jointly by the President and the Vice-President of the Republic.
The authorities of the Republic and any public corporation or public utility body created by or under the laws of the Republic shall fly the flag of the Republic and they shall have the right to fly on holidays together with the flags of the Republic both the Greek and the Turkish flag at the same time.
The Communal authorities and institutions shall have the right to fly on holidays together with the flag of the Republic either the Greek or the Turkish flag at the same time.
Any citizen of the Republic or any body, corporate or unincorporate other than public, whose members are citizens of the Republic, shall have the right to fly on their premises the flag of the Republic or the Greek or the Turkish flag without any restriction.
Pascal Vagnat, 17 December 2001

I've met with the crew from Helpers on multiple occasions and they always provide exceptional professionalism, courtesy, customer service - keeping up higher standards!!
I am the employee housing manager for the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority and a tenant was terminated and left a unit in complete disarray and extremely contaminated with tons of trash everywhere, personal items, rotting food, huge infestation of mice. I called them and they were at the property within 30 minutes and were able to provide a quote the same day and begin work the next day. The crew was amazing and super detailed with their process and safety measures. Within hours it was looking like it could be rented again. They did spend two days to complete the work and were super attentive to all the details and great at explaining the entire process to me. The unit has never looked so good. Also, the entire office staff Clay, Red, Anthony , Renee were on the ball with documentation, invoicing, insurance etc. Everyone had a great work ethic and sense of humor. I highly recommend Helpers !
Prompt. Professional. Helpers responded quickly and was able to save flooring and other materials by getting there and drying the area quickly.

History of Bundoran Lifeboat
Beginnings
1972 Bundoran Inshore Rescue, a community rescue service, was established.
In 1974, Bundoran rescue Committee was set up in after the tragic drowning of Danny Kerrigan, an NCO attached to Finner Camp, who was washed from the cliffs at Roguey Rocks. Despite Danny's great efforts to stay afloat in heavy seas, no boat could get to the scene in time to save him. As a result of his tragic death, a meeting brought together members of the Defence Forces, Gardai, Fire Brigade and water safety interests in the area, the result of which was the formation of Bundoran rescue Committee. Completely new to the area of water safety, they sought the advice of RNLI water safety experts from Tramore in Co. Waterford. Following consultation and an assessment of the local area it was decided to launch the new service from the West End pier.
Funds were raised in the locality and a second hand 'D' class inflatable boat was purchased from the RNLI. The boat was initially stored in sheds in Bundoran up until the committee, with the support of many local people, built the first rescue boathouse on the pier.
To train the first crews, the Irish Water Safety Association in conjunction with the RNLI ran a course in Tramore and the first crew to complete the course were: Joe Chapman, Marti Granaghan, Frank O Kelly, Steve Staunton and Whittey Kilbride. In 1979 a new boat, an 'Avon Sea Rider' was purchased and was officially launched by Bridget Gorebooth, after whom the boat was named.
In 1983 using a youth employment scheme, the second boathouse was built to house the new rescue boat and equipment including a crew changing room and a two bay boat garage. During these years the boats and crews were involved in many sea tragedies in the area. These included:
three young children lost off Bundoran beach in 1978
the Mountbatten incident off Mullaghmore in August 1979
the rescue of a father and son from Kilcar, as they were nearly swept off rocks at Bundoran in 1985
Pictured on the first training course in Waterford for the new boat crew in 1979 are from left Whitey Gilbride, Joe Chapman, Frank O'Kelly, PJ Clancy and Sean Staunton

The late Danny Kerrigan RIP
Crossing the Bar (by Alfred Tennyson)
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
Radio Documentary (2011)
"Home From the Sea:
The Story of Bundoran Lifeboat"
Launching Bundoran Inshore Rescue D-Class at Bundoran Beach. Circa 1980s
A New Era - The RNLI
IN the early 1990s, after examining the location, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution agreed to take over Bundoran Rescue Committee and a new dedicated lifeboat station was born, giving cover to the Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo and north Mayo coastline. A more modern Lifeboat station was built at the West End Pier in 1993 which housed an 'Atlantic 75' class lifeboat and launching tractor. The new RNLI Inshore Lifeboat (ILB) B-711, "Helene" was officially launched in 1996 by Mrs. Ronnie Delaney. In July 2009 a new Lifeboat an 'Atlantic 85' William Henry Liddington was delivered to Bundoran, replacing Helene to continue the lifesaving work around Donegal Bay
The RNLI
The RNLI has more than 230 lifeboat stations in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. There are more than 4,500 lifeboat crew members. They are volunteers from every walk of life. The organisation is funded by voluntary contributions and legacies. RNLI rescue operations are coordinated by Irish Coast Guard and UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency. RNLI crews are 'on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The RNLI operate twelve different types of rescue craft including Inshore Lifeboats (ILBs), All Weather Lifeboats (ALBs), Hovercraft and rescue Jet-skis. ALBs can reach up to 100 miles offshore within 2.5 hours in fair weather.
The RNLI covers the Open sea , Inshore areas, local beaches and most recently inland waters at Enniskillen on the Erne and Lough Derg on the River Shannon. It costs €13M to operate the organisation per anum around €35,600 every day. For every €1 spent, 80 cent goes directly to lifesaving. Funding is got entirely from voluntary contributions such as legacies, supporters, direct debits, fundraising appeals, souvenirs and gifts. Fund Raising at local level is organised by branches and guilds


Imagine inspecting 1 TB of images in one second? Forget binge watching, this means 200 movies in a blink of the eye. This amount of images overwhelms scientists at the national laboratories, who depend on experimental data recorded in image files. But how to visually examine that many pictures? What we need is to construct computer programs that recognize relevant patterns from digital images. That is what I have done for the past 20 years: I use computer vision and machine learning techniques to enable people to use pictures in decision-making. I construct algorithms applied to material science, aiming to control the quality of compounds and, for example, improve durability of aircrafts. Another project is to design computational tools for biological structure description and interactions, for example, to enable neurologists to detect cells and functions in cellular communities.
I'm Dani Ushizima, a Staff Scientist at the Computational Research Division, Berkeley Lab, and a member of the CAMERA Center and the Data Analytics and Visualization Group, LBNL. I also investigate Data Science methods as a Data Scientist Senior Fellow at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS), UC Berkeley in collaboration with UCSF and BioCAMERA. As part of scientific teams, my R&D focuses on computer vision applied to images across domains. Other initiatives I co-lead are ImageXD and CRIC, inspired by the LBNL motto: "Bringing science solutions to the world".

The film was met with critical acclaim, with praise aimed towards the story and performances. At the 37th Independent Spirit Awards, Reis received a nomination for Best Female Lead.

Plot
Kaylee, a Native American woman who was once a boxer, is now an addict living in a shelter and working as a waitress. Some time ago, Kaylee's younger sister Weeta was kidnapped and taken into a sex trafficking ring. She is one of the hundreds of young girls who go missing every year. No one has heard of her since. Kaylee is still searching.

After finding a lead on Weeta's whereabouts, Kaylee meets the procurer of a local trafficking ring. The man takes pictures of her, drugs her, masturbates in front of her, and tells her that she will be sent to a man looking to buy a "Native girl".

Bobby is the son of the ring's kingpin, Willie. Kaylee is chloroformed, tied up, and taken by Bobby to the buyer's home. She wakes up alone in a basement and using a razor blade hidden under her tongue, she cuts herself free. Once Bobby and the buyer arrive, Bobby explains that he knows what she is trying to do and that she will never find her sister. When he leaves the room, and the buyer prepares to rape her, Kaylee pulls out the razor blade, kills the buyer, and runs away. Willie and his crew arrive to get rid of the dead body. Kaylee returns to the house and hides in Bobby's car. She sees Willie hit Bobby and order him to leave.

Bobby goes home to his wife Linda and son Junior. When he leaves the room, Kaylee enters the house and ties his family up, putting tape over their mouths to stop them from screaming. Bobby returns and a fight ensues, with Kaylee using her expertise as a boxer to gain the upper hand. After tying him up, Kaylee demands information about her sister but he refuses to answer. She stabs him in the leg, threatens to cut off Linda's ear, and begins to waterboard him. An uncooperative Bobby drowns to death.

Kaylee interrogates Linda and learns that Willie owns a train yard where he will transport the next "batch" of kidnapped girls. Kaylee arrives at the train yard with only Bobby's gun in her possession. At gunpoint, one of Willie's truck drivers tells her that the girls are in a nearby warehouse. She finds them and tells them to escape when the procurer from before spots her. He runs away and Kaylee shoots him several times. She questions him but he begins to apologize and beg instead. Kaylee walks away, letting the procurer bleed to death. Kaylee reveals that she has hidden Linda and Junior in her car. She orders Linda to take him to Willie, who lives in a mansion.

Inside the house, Linda is greeted by Willie's wife Debra, who says Willie is in the library. She mentions that Linda regularly visited them every time Bobby became aggressive. In the bathroom, Linda messages Kaylee with the correct information about where Willie is but also calls 9-1-1 before leaving. Kaylee holds Willie at gunpoint and asks about Weeta. Debra barges into the room with a gun and accidentally shoots Willie in the face. Kaylee shoots and kills Debra as Debra shoots again, hitting Kaylee in the stomach. In her final moments, Kaylee imagines what her life would have been if she had succeeded, as she envisions herself entering her comeback boxing match.

Critical response

Screen Rants Mae Abdulbaki said the film was "strongest in action mode". Nick Schager of The Daily Beast praised the film for its "portrait of white men exploiting Native American women for profit and sexual gratification", adding that "[it] isn't lost on the film..." David Ehrlich from IndieWire said "[t]here isn't much for Catch the Fair One to find at the end of the line, but it looks for its invisible women - indigenous and otherwise - with the urgency of someone who knows what seeing them would actually mean".

Accolades
Catch the Fair One competed for Best Film at festivals in Deauville, and Warsaw, and won the award at the Sidewalk and Tribeca Film Festivals. Reis won Best Actress at the Newport Beach Film Festival, and received a nomination in the same category at the 37th Independent Spirit Awards.

Craig Ferguson tells Howard Stern About His Show + Leaving Late Night
Craig Ferguson moved from late-night TV to drive-time radio — and he's loving the lack of limits here at SiriusXM.
"I never wanted to do a daily show again, and then my wife's like, 'You gotta do something. You can't sit around the house all day,'" Ferguson said Tuesday on The Howard Stern Show.
And the Scottish comic was thrilled to learn he could broadcast from a studio built in the shed in his garden (sometimes wearing pants, sometimes not so much).
"I kind of like it because you really don't have anyone to answer to, so far," he explained. "They haven't said to me, 'You need to have this guest' or 'you need to have that guest.'"
"No, you don't get any feedback around here," Stern quipped.
"Yeah, it's fun. It's kind of weird. I'm still a little institutionalized in the sense that I feel like I have to book people I've heard of," Ferguson said.
Though he's chatted with megastars like Scarlett Johansson and Seth Meyers, one upcoming booking isn't exactly A-list: his dentist.
"He's funny!" Ferguson insisted to Stern's amusement. "He's a very interesting guy. He was Frank Sinatra's dentist."

Ferguson also reflected on his nine years hosting The Late Late Show. He left in 2014 amid rumours he might take his legendary boss David Letterman's seat in the earlier time slot. (Stephen Colbert got the CBS gig.)
"I had a feeling you were kind of saying, 'hm,'" Stern said. "I don't know if you wanted Letterman's job or not. From every indication, I've heard you didn't want it."
Agreeing he had a "great run" behind the desk, Ferguson said he doesn't regret leaving television.
"I didn't want it. But I guess when it started to circle, you start to think, 'Are they going to ask me to do it?' Because you don't want to go to the party, but you kind of want to be asked to the party," he said with a laugh. "But I also realized that I was in a dangerous situation. What happened is this: I had been doing the show for a long time. So, you know this, you stay on the air a long time, they have to give you a pay raise every couple of years, so now I'm expensive."

The history of Spanish tapas
by Amy Trillard
Last updated: 3. Jul 2018
in Spain Food & Restaurants Tapas
4. Jul 2014 (3. Jul 2018)
With tapas extending outside of Spain, the idea of ordering small plates to share is becoming a trend in restaurants worldwide, but how many are familiar with the history of Spanish tapas?
Let's start with a definition. According to the Royal Spanish Academy, tapas are: "A small portion of any food served to accompany a drink."
While the exact historical and cultural details of the true origin of tapas are uncertain, there are various legends up for speculation. Here, we are covering some of the most popular stories, but it's up to you to pick your favourite.
Let's delve into the wonderful world of tapas. ¡Vamos a tapear!
Video of the History of Spanish Tapas
Originally tapas were small plates of food that would be served to customers without charge when they ordered a drink. Although you'll usually find yourself paying for tapas today, there are still some cities, such as Granada, that are known for serving free tapas when you order a drink at the bar.
Whenever you're having tapas you'll be sure to find its perfect pair right alongside, most likely a glass of wine or una caña of beer, or even another of Spain's most traditional and refreshing beverages, gazpacho.
The Origin of Tapas
Of the various legends on the origin of tapas many versions involve King Alfonso XIII or King Fernando XVII, while according to one of the oldest restaurants in Spain, El Ventorrillo del Chato, King Fernando VII is the subject of the tale.
No matter which king it really was, all the stories go something like this.
Following a voyage along one of the longest routes in Andalusia, the King arrived at a restaurant where he was served a glass of wine with a slice of cheese over top (some say it was ham or bread). Although the King knew that the slice was being used as a tapadera, a cover to protect the wine from bugs or dust, he ate it anyways, as did his entire court. Following this event it is said that the King continued to ask for "tapas" with his wine everywhere he went.
Other legends claim that the origin of tapas is related an ill King Alfonso X El Sabio, the Wise, who needed to have small snacks and small amounts of wine in between meals in order to recover. It is said that once the King got back to health, he decided that inns and bars in Castile would always need to serve a snack alongside wine.
There are also legends which originate in the countryside, far different from stories of the royal kings, focusing on the working class' need for stamina during long working hours. The legends tell that farmers and workers had a glass of wine and small snacks to sustain themselves while working and awaiting lunch or dinner.
Tapas Today
Today having tapas is known as a version of eating out, this style becoming so typical that consumers have started to replace long and formal meals with informal and sociable tapas. In Spanish, to eat tapas even has its own verbs; picar means "to pick at" and is used to describe the way you would eat finger-foods, while tapear is a verb specifically meaning "to have tapas".
You will also find that tapas follow the gastronomic tastes and traditions of each region in Spain, but that types of olives, nuts, meats and cheeses are universal to all areas.
In addition to these typical tapas there is a world of possibilities in the form of different recipes that tapas bars across Spain have mastered, encompassing ingredients including meats, fish, vegetables, eggs and many other foods served in small forms.
The Culinary Importance of Tapas
Tapas are of great culinary importance in Spain. The truth is that this type of eating has become a form of national identification and of cultural importance for all.
Spanish cities are constantly competing to be known as one of the best places to have tapas and there are countless lists of best tapas bars by city available across the web. We've composed some of our own "best of" lists and noticed along the way that Málaga, Granada, Madrid, Seville, Cordoba and San Sebastian are often considered to be the leading authentic locations to experience the art of tapas and enjoy various Spanish delicacies.
If you're looking for something other than tapas during your getaway or want to learn about more culinary options in Spain, we invite you to read this article on the 10 best international restaurants in Málaga.

Crime • Legal • Society & Culture
Maldives' anti-black magic legal measures need 'streamlining'
Legal measures for the prosecution and prevention of sorcery and black magic need to be 'streamlined', authorities have told the Maldives Independent.
Belief in sorcery and black magic, known locally as fanditha and sihuru, is common in the Maldives. Fanditha is allowed for licensed parties under a 1978 law. Sihuru, enlisting demons to harm others, while not illegal is considered taboo and is unauthorised.
Sihuru-related arrests have been common in recent years, but suspects are often released soon after without charge due to the complexity of legal action.
There are legal loopholes in charging practitioners because the current penal code does not have a specific provision for black magic and sorcery.
Police last Thursday initiated a meeting, attended by the Islamic Minister and senior officials from the Prosecutor General and Attorney General's Office, to discuss ways to strengthen current legal framework surrounding sihuru.
The 'very preliminary meeting' was held because of an increasing trend in sihuru, said police spokesman Ahmed Shifan.
"We have noted there are issues in investigating and charging these practitioners that we need to streamline," he said.
"Usually we end up destroying artefacts used for the practice of sihuru but we are unable to carry out any measures to prevent further acts."
"We came to an understanding that more research was needed as to how we can go about this."
A spokesperson for the Prosecutor General's office told the Maldives Independent that individuals have been historically prosecuted for acts of sihuru under chapter 88 of the former Penal Code for 'disobedience to order'.
Since the passing of the new penal code, sihuru has been prosecuted under the Religious Unity Act, police said today. However, there is no specific provision for sihuru under the act.
People have been arrested for allegedly practising sihuru, but both the police and Prosecutor General's office were unable to clarify immediately how many people have been charged for it in recent years.
In December 2016, the Islamic Ministry ordered the privately-owned Sangu TV to stop a weekly programme on sorcery and black magic, saying it posed a threat to religious unity and societal harmony.
In August 2015, the Maldives Figh Academy, then an advisory body of religious scholars, warned against the promotion of black magic in local media after opposition figures linked the uprooting of old trees at the Republic square and removal of the republic monument in Malè to President Abdulla Yameen's alleged fear of sorcery. The government declined to comment on the issue at the time.

This blog describes the approach to reduce the technical downtime for a System Conversion to SAP S/4HANA. Readers should be familiar with the general concept of a System Conversion (see sap-s4hana-system-conversion-at-a-glance/) as well as with details on the Software Update Manager for the technical conversion part (see blog system-conversion-to-sap-s4hana-sum-is-the-tool).
For the System Conversion of an existing SAP ERP 6.0 system to SAP S/4HANA (on-premise), the technical downtime is influenced not only by a migration of the application tables from source database to SAP HANA database (if the source is not yet SAP HANA based), but also by the Data Conversion of the application tables from old to new data model.
This blog explains the downtime-optimized conversion approach only.
The approach is based on the idea to move downtime activities (like data conversion from old to new data model) and database migration (in case of source system on non-HANA database) to uptime processing of SUM. For a standard conversion, the FIN data migration has to be executed after the SUM has finished by respective IMG activities (e.g. FI customizing, FI data migration). The downtime-optimized approach will even move the FI data migration (partly) into the SUM uptime processing.
SUM activites on application tables during uptime may interfere with user activites on these tables. So any changes by endusers on the tables are recorded by the SUM and handled by a replay mechanism. This replay will consider the table changes by endusers which happend after the table content was e.g. already converted by SUM.
The following image shows the general concept.
In addition, the field conversion for tables KONV and VBFA is moved to uptime processing as well. These two tables remain in the new data model, but fields have to be adapted.
"Downtime-optimized Conversion" is currently available for pilot projects. Such projects are driven by SAP consulting, and require a registration, and get direct support from SAP development. Requirements, restrictions, and registration process is described in SAP Note 2293733.
Unlike the standard conversion, this approach will not be used for all systems in your landscape. Typically it is not used for the conversion of the DEV system, as downtime is not that relevant compared to PRD system conversion. Nevertheless, several downtime-optimized runs on copies of PRD will have to be executed.
The downtime-optimized conversion run will execute the FI data conversion by SUM partly in uptime. To enable this, the SUM needs the FI customizing. So prior to the downtime-optimized run, a standard run is required in which the FI customizing is created, and this customizing has to be put into a customizing request. This request can then be fed to the SUM for the downtime-optimized conversion run.
Important investigations for the project will be the estimation of the change rate on the affected tables.
The approach requires a system restart for a consistent status of the relevant application tables (sync point). This restart is part of the SUM uptime processing, and it will typically be planned one weekend before the actual downtime. The replication will then run until the next weekend.
Keep in mind that this approach is not yet generally available. We hope to offer it generally in the future, but can't predict when this may be, as it depends on the results of the ongoing pilot projects.
This blog may be updated and/or extended, so stay tuned.

Q: curl globbing - quit when fail possible? If you are doing a globbed retrieval and do not know a priori how many pages there are to retrieve is it possible to have cURL quit once it hits a 404.
e.g curl --silent --request GET 'www.thesite.com/page=[1-50]'
but there are only 12 pages.
So you hit a 404 going for page 13. Anyway to make cURL abort further page retrieval?
Or is it something one would have to do programmitically?

A: Try adding -f, according to the manual that will abort.
curl --fail --silent --request GET 'www.thesite.com/page=[1-50]'


Creative director of the prestigious French fashion house BALMAIN , Olivier Rousteing has again completely nailed it , he has presented the SS17 collection today , January 17.
Amongst the guests on the front roll was Lewis Hamilton who rocked a curly mohawkan look.
The first section of the presentation is the classic army look, BALMAIN delivers really well. Perfectly embellished and rich textured camouflage blazers and jackets with camouflage biker jeans and war style boots was one of the stand out pieces . There is loads of layers with big collared jackets With embellishments Gold hardware and embellishments .
The second section was beautifully and heavy knit pieces for the men and stunningly sheer fabric for the women's capsule .
The last of the collection are beautifully adorned jewelled tops and blouses for the men. 2017 is set to be an exciting year for men as far as bold statements go for men's fashion.
It's an amazing and rich collection, I'm loving all the colors!!


Current configuration. 3.5 - 10 X 36mm A/O Banner. Scope came with elevation drums for .22 LR , .22 WMR, and 17 HMR. Eye relief is pretty forgiving on this one, due to it's rimfire based design. Heft feels like about 6 1/4 lbs, which is darn good considering all the mass this rifle carries.
Stretched her out to 20 yds today for some penetration experimenting. Was actually pretty gusty for air gun shooting today, and a bit on the cool side as well.
Good to know, thanks for the tip! Looks good, nice scope. That short breech is a bit of a challenge hey for mounting things.
Did some chrony work with the Artemis, and the old Crosman 101.
Was kind of curious about consistency of the Air Arms 16.0 gr diablo domes.
At 8 pumps with the Artemis I was getting very close to the 600 mark.
They averaged 600.4 over ten shots with an extreme spread of just 4.5 fps.
That is very good performance with a pumper~ the sort of thing that is expected from a regulated pcp.
They lag a bit in speed behind the 16.0 gr polymag predator. I think this is because there is a lot more pellet surface in contact with the bore- specifically the head. The predators are 30-40 fps faster at the same 8 pumps.
The Artemis certainly dwarfs the 101, both in physical size and performance.
At 8 pumps with the 101, the same pellet was all over the chronograph landscape in terms of speed. Extreme spread was 33.6 fps, and average was 504.4 fps.
At 5 pumps, the 101 is much calmer with an extreme spread of 5.3 fps and an average velocity of 469.3 fps.
The more I work with it, the less inclined I become to alter it in any way.
We have a gravel pit looks almost EXACTLY like that, Doc, up near Babine Lake where I was guiding moose hunters. That pit usually had a black bear or 3 in it, every time we drove by, heading out moose hunting from camp.
Walking around with a gun, is fun.
Spring 2 years ago I seen my first wolf in a lot of years there.
Whitetail Rut City around the edges. Lots of rub and scrape.
Passed up on a decent sized snowshoe bunny last time there. Heavy willows, and wasn't sure the Artemis would thread through them.
That pit is ground water ponds in early spring.
Just ordered in a .177 rifle length bbl. and breech for it, as well as a Discovery 3-9X A/O scope for it.
I have the bbl cleaned and mounted, and am hoping for a shooting test next week sometime.
A lot of thought went into this design. A good example of this is the bolt tensioning system that is built into the breech.
Scope looks like a very nice one for the money. It focusses down to 5 yds, which is a bit on the close side.
Haven't done a thing with it yet except to focus the eye-piece, which in my far-sighted case, means turned "out" all the way.
Not sure what to make of the 1/2 mil slash marks. Will form an opinion once I've shot with it.
Reticle appears to have medium thickness wires.
Looks like a relatively bright and clear scope. While it won't nudge the Diamondback in terms of image quality, it will give the Banner series quite a good run.
I like the matte finish on this one quite a bit. Will see how she does later this week.
The A/O ring is a bit tight to turn, but not a big deal. These usually loosen up a bit with a little usage.
This was shot with 8.44 gr JSB domes with the Banner 3.5-10 X 36mm A/O and the new .177 bbl aboard the Artemis pumper. 3 pumps.
12 meters. I did not chrony tonight. Sounds like upper 500's at 3 pumps- there's a bit of a crack there. Group was shot after zeroing the Banner.
Those pellets are sort of old, and oxidized. I think I have a new tin around here somewhere.
No problems with pellets nudging the breech seal.
The rifle still has the original bbl band on it, and it rattles a bit on pumping. Will have to find a way to spread the new, smaller bbl band enough to get it onto the tube.
This is how the suppressor threads were covered, in lieu of a front sight. This doesn't bother me in the least- I don't shoot well enough over open sights to be concerned with lack of a front sight.
This is what the rifle looks like with the 3-9 X 40mm A/O Discovery scope on it.
Scope is bright. It flares under the overhead fluorescents in the shop. I can see why a shade was included with it. Personally, I think light is spilling into the eye-piece. I doubt if it's the objective causing the flare. Friend Vagrant had some rubber shades for the eye-bells on his scopes, and they actually work quite well. This may be worth pursuing for me. I get the same type of flaring with the Diamondback scope, so I'm fairly certain this is not an optical quality issue.
Rings are a little too high for my liking. Scope seems to have plenty of adjustment range. Had no problems with running out of clicks.
The reticle is actually very nice. I will have to do some work with the half slash marks this spring, when I can get outdoors to figure out how to range with it. I did manage to get the new scope dialled in more or less. I have to get some new targ-dots to shoot for group. I'd really like to get another shooting session in this week. I'd like to see how the new bbl reacts to R-10 rifle match wadcutters.
I'm fairly well pleased with the way things are going so far.
Those are the stock rings that came with the Discovery Scope..?
Discovery VT-1 3-9X40 AO you have selected here.
Do you have any plans for the stock .22 cal barrel Doc..?
Those are Burris Signature Zee rimfire 3/8" rings with the posi-align inserts. I am using the +20 riser in the rear ring.
The Discovery scope shipped with 4x4 Weaver rail rings. I think that's a temporary thing as Wes mentioned being out of rimfire rail rings.
These bbls are approximately 22.75". One of them will eventually end up on my Chaser carbine.
It looks like I am getting a repeat of the .22 cal bbl here- it's going to take 60 or 70 pellets or so to get the new bore "shot-in"
These bbls are approximately 22.75". One of them will eventually end up on my Chaser carbine.-D.S.
Nice! Is it a Diana stormrider's barrel?
Not sure if it is or not. You'd have to direct this question to Wes.
Finally got the .177 bbl over the chrony tonight.
Performance is more than adequate- I am surprised to be getting what I am out of this pumper.
At 3 pumps, it averages 583.4 fps.
At 5 pumps, 662.4 fps.
At 8 pumps, 717.3 fps.
I know, it's still not 800 fps. From what I'm seeing here, the point of diminishing returns is still around 8 pumps for optimal purposes, and that is entirely volume related. Those are still incredibly good numbers for a pumper. I am still much impressed with this rifle.
After that short hour's chronograph session, I did some off-hand work with it at 12 meters. I was able to put 4 out of 5 into a single hole.
Scope is still a bit on the high side. I think I will get another one of the rip-stop nylon comb risers for it.
I haven't been putting the time into this that I'd like to. It seems like all I've been doing lately is working. That short session was a pleasant break for me tonight.


It's never too early to teach girls that they're powerful — and that they can use that power to make a difference in the world.
Here to help you teach that lesson is IGNITE, a nonprofit that aims to to build political ambition when girls and young women. They've recently released the Writing Our Rights empowerment workbook to help girls improve their handwriting while learning about political female leaders.
"This writing workbook isn't filled with cute rhymes or silly expressions," the IGNITE wrote on its website. "Instead, girls will find words from 10 of the most iconic female politicians in American history. Copying them will teach more than handwriting. It will teach girls that they are powerful and capable of becoming leaders."
The workbook contains quotes and excerpts from dozens of speeches from women such as Susan B. Anthony, Sandra Day O'Connor, Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and more. The pages are perforated so that if a girl loves the inspirational quote she reads, she can tear it out and use it as a poster. At the end of the book, she'll discover a section to write her own words of inspiration and hope for the future.
"We believe that introduction to leadership at a young age is as a fundamental as learning to write," Anne Moses, founder and president of IGNITE, said in a press release. "We hope that these words from 10 of the most iconic female politicians in American history will teach girls that they are powerful and capable of becoming political leaders someday too."
The IGNITE team created the workbook help from the award-winning global advertising agency, Pereira & O'Dell.
"Writing is an act of ownership. When these very young women copy these inspiring words with their own hands, they are making it theirs," PJ Pereira, chief creative officer and co-founder of Pereira & O'Dell, said in a press release.
The more girls learn about female trailblazers, the more they'll see them as role models for the bright futures ahead of them.

LEOPARD (Heb. "namer"):
By: Emil G. Hirsch, I. M. Casanowicz
A ferocious carnivorous mammal. Several allusions are found in the Old Testament to this animal and its characteristics; e.g., its fierceness, Isa. xi. 6; its agility and swiftness, Hab. i. 8; its cunning, Jer. v. 6 and Hos. xiii. 7; its unchangeable spots as a type of immutability, Jer. xiii. 23; as an emblem of one of the "great monarchies," Dan. vii. 6. The leopard (Felis pardus) is still met with in the forest of Gilead, round the Dead Sea, and in the mountains; the chetah (Gueparda jubata) is of less frequent occurrencein Palestine. The former frequency of the leopard there may perhaps be inferred from the place-names "Beth-nimrah" (Num. xxxii. 3, 36) and "Nimrim" (Jer. xlviii. 34), the latter perhaps identical with the modern Nimerah (comp. also the "mountains of leopards," Cant. iv. 8).
In the Talmud the namer is classed with the wolf, lion, etc., for dangerousness and ferocity (Sanh. 2a and parallels). Following the ancient conception of the leopard as a hybrid between a panther or pard and the lioness (hence the name "leo-pardus"), some of the rabbis believed it to be the issue of the boar and lioness (comp. Bartenora to the admonition of Ab. v. 5: "Be firm like a leopard to do the will of thy Father in heaven"). The namer is a type of immodesty (Ḳid. 70a). Its term of gestation is said to be three years (Bek. 8a).

The almighty humble potato makes a stunning dish called Potatoes Au Gratin, the French would call it a few different names depending on what region the dish is originating from. There are many variants of the name of the dish, including Pommes de Terre Dauphinoise, Potatoes à la Dauphinoise & Gratin de Pommes à la Dauphinoise.
What does Au Gratin mean? Answer: To grate, usually with breadcrumbs or grated cheese. Classicly using Gruyere cheese.
(of potatoes or other vegetables) sliced and cooked in milk, typically with a topping of cheese.
Today's recipe is all about tradition and the traditional preparation of Potatoes Au Gratin. This recipe could be looked at as a simple dish, yet also elegant with great depth of flavor that comes from a traditional Bechamel being prepared in the classic French way. Often a Bechamel sauce is referred to as a "White Sauce", and they would be correct. But remember, a White Sauce is not a Bechamel. For a White sauce to become a Bechamel there are certain steps and flavorings that must be used in order to become a traditional Bechamel Sauce.
I believe this step is sometimes overlooked in the way of importance. Potatoes Au Gratin is a classic preparation of potatoes sliced thinly and covered in a creamy traditional Bechamel sauce. The bechamel sauce is the key to this amazingly simple, yet elegant potato dish.
Here's our article outlining everything you could need to know about making a proper Bechamel Sauce. I would like for you to watch the video as well. You'll be able to see the movement/motions that goes into making a classic French sauce and even more important, the timing. Sauce making is all about good techniques, yet the key is "Timing".
Great ! We now know everything that it takes to make a traditional Bechamel sauce. If you haven't experienced this sauce made the Classic French way you're going to be pleasantly surprised. The flavoring really takes the sauce up a notch.
Now on to the potatoes. Wow, with 200 possible types of potatoes how do we begin to pick which type to use? I have an answer to this type of question I think almost always holds up. You should use the kind you like. Just like cooking with wine, you should cook with the type you enjoy. Yet, dealing with potatoes there are characteristics which can help with the finished dish.
an odorless tasteless white substance occurring widely in plant tissue and obtained chiefly from cereals and potatoes. It is a polysaccharide that functions as a carbohydrate store and is an important constituent of the human diet.
Potatoes have an abundance of nutritional value, including a high level of macronutrients, vitamins & minerals. One of the potato's greatest nutritional offerings is its carbohydrate content. Potatoes contain both simple and complex carbohydrates, as well as a substantial amount of dietary fiber. Most of the carbohydrates in potatoes are complex carbohydrates, called starch. Potatoes also contain simple sugars, with glucose being the most prevalent.
-russet-skinned with white flesh. They're what we typically imagine when we think of potatoes. They have a neutral potato flavor, a fluffy, creamy and soft texture, and are best for baking, mashing and making French fries. They're also very absorbent, work great paired with butter and cream — think mashed potatoes.
– finely flaked yellowish-white skin with light yellow flesh. They're bright, vegetal and slightly sweet, with a smooth, slightly waxy texture and moist flesh. They're best for boiling, baking and making French fries. They'll also stand up well to grilling, pan frying & roasting.
– bright red skin with creamy white flesh. They're slightly bitter and have a firm, moist and waxy texture. They're best for soups, stews, boiling, roasting, potato salad and casseroles, and worst for mashing.
First thing, Peel and slice your Russet potatoes. The reason we start with the potatoes is "Timing". When working in the kitchen "Timing' is everything. This is a skill a lot of cooks struggle with. Here at Butter-n-Thyme "Timing" is a focal point in our lessons. Sure we teach you how to make the recipes in the articles, but underneath the goal is to empower all our readers with solid culinary information and training, skills, tips & tricks. Be sure to wash off the potatoes before peeling. In the photo below, I only cut off some of the outside peel. This helps with presentation. If you peel the potatoes your dish could appear plain to some degree, a lot of white space, but that also could be a good thing. Just something to consider. Plus, the potato skins is where most of the health benefits come from.
Use a normal peeler to create the striped potato cuts. Just peel down the length of the potato and alternate.
Chef Tip: Potatoes oxidize and turn color when left exposed to air. Notice in the photo above the potato is put back together to reduce surface area. Resulting in almost zero oxidization. You could place them in a bowl filled with water as well.
Add 4 tablespoon butter and melt. Then add 3 tablespoons of flour. We are making a Roux. Which by definition a Roux is equal parts butter and to flour. Since we are making a Bechamel sauce we will be using a little less flour. The fat in the Milk would be the reason. This also allows for a longer time for the sauce to tighten up/thicken while the flavors develop.
While stirring, add in 1/3 of the Milk over medium-high heat.
Once the sauce starts to thicken, add the remaining Milk and keep stirring.
When you're prepping the Potatoes, Prep the Onion then. Do not wait.
Next place the Onion in the sauce and cover to infuse flavor. The "Timing" is right after you finished stirring in the second addition of Milk and reached a soft boil. Turn off the Heat before adding the Onion, then cover and wait around 5 minutes. Take a taste. If you're happy great. If not, allow more time to impart flavor. If the sauce tries to thicken too much just add a little bit more Milk to thin the sauce out. Season with salt to taste. add small pinch.
Keep repeating process till you've reached the level you'd like for your casserole dish. Remember, don't overfill with bechamel sauce. That would affect your presentation.
When you've reached the correct doneness, turn on the Boiler and brown the top of the Au Gratin.
Crack the oven door and keep an eye on it.
First, melt butter over medium-high heat, then add the flour and coat all the flour in butter.
"Cook-Out" the flour. Allow the flour to absorb the butter. This will help ensure the Bechamel sauce will not be grainy.
Once at a soft boil turn off heat. The sauce will thicken. If the sauce gets too thick for your purposes add a little more Milk to thin out the sauce. Remember the heat activates the Roux and thickens.
Add the Onion with the Cloves to the pot.
Cover the pot for 4 to 5 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
First wash off the potatoes well. Using a mandolin or sharp knife, make thin slices. The thickness is up to you. I suggest 1/8 inch slices. Remember the potato skin is where most of the health benefits reside. I took a peeler and removed on part of the skins. Made peeled stripes going down the length of the potato in an alternating pattern. Helps with the presentation. See Video Above.
First, pour Bechamel sauce covering the bottom of your casserole dish. Using glass bakeware is suggested for even cooking. The bechamel sauce acts to protect the potatoes from burning and sticking. Next, add two layers of potatoes. Lay the potatoes out with each potato slightly covering the last potato. Shingle pattern. Then add a layer of Cheese and cover with Bechamel sauce. Add a small amount of salt & pepper. Repeat process till you've filled your bakeware to the desired level. Add the remaining Bechamel sauce, allow for the potatoes to stick out a small amount. Don't drown the potatoes in sauce, helps with presentation. Cover with more cheese and place on a cookie sheet to prevent bubbling over.
Cook for 45 to one hour or till done. All ovens are different.
Test for doneness. Poke with a fork. If soft enough, turn on broiler to brown the top. Be sure to keep on eye on this process as the potatoes au gratin could burn. Crack the oven door so you can see what's happening.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.
I was looking for an au gratin recipe because I cannot find one of my two favorite cookbooks when I came across this site…wonderful, I will be saving this to favorites! I was looking for a basic roux to remind me how to start my cheese sauce for au gratin potatoes. I like the step by step and the explanations of what you were taught and why something should or should not be used….thank you!
Rebecca, thank you for the comment, I appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the content. If you ever have any questions, here to help.
All the best, Chef Pennington.

Noise.io, "First" Synth for iPhone/iPod Touch, Will Bring Gestural FM Synthesis Control
Peter Kirn - August 5, 2008
The iPhone and iPod Touch are getting their share of metronomes, guitar tuners, sonic toys, and even one fairly full-featured sample-based drum machine / arrangement tool (BeatMaker). But what about live synthesis? Noise.io (short for Noise for iPhone) claims to be the "first" synth. (I believe, technically, that honor goes to Einar Andersson's iPhone synth, but that isn't yet an official iTunes app, and it's relatively basic by comparison.)
We're waiting for a video demo and audio samples, and the developer warns that even the image above is an "ugly beta," not the real thing. But we do know that the synth will incorporate:
ESFM technology – Enhanced Subspace Frequency Modulation. It's an improved version of FM which has been developed especially for iPhone, the architecture has been redesigned to allow maximum user-friendly approach to creating new sounds.
(The developer explains what that means below.)
There's also preset storage, tap BPM sync, and gestures for real-time sonic modification. There's a curious-looking grid (shown at bottom) for modulation.
Noise for iPhone [Official Site. Warning: disturbing, nightclub-style black and pink color scheme]
Availability: Real soon now
Many readers, particularly some loyalists to earlier, less-hyped PDAs and mobile devices, have dismissed some of the recent iPhone creations as "toys" – and in many cases, I agree. But, while I'll believe it when I see it, I'm encouraged that this instrument is doing something unique with its interface and synthesis method – that is, making the touch interface something interesting and essential to the sound. That's the kind of territory I hoped would be explored that's been mostly untapped so far.
And if you don't have an iPhone, don't feel left out: the developers promise a plug-in version soon, for computers – with lots of natural advantages, like the ability to drop right into Ableton Live or route through effects. (Hey, I knew there was some reason we were carrying around those 6-pound laptops, eh?)
Mini-Interview with Developer
Amidio's Ilya Tretiakov tells CDM about what the heck ESFM is (okay, doesn't involve a flux capacitor or hyperdrive, as I theorized), how the synth performs, and what the plug-in will be like:
Noise.io will be available in the form of VST plugin at the end of this year. It is not supposed to interact in any way with the iPhone version – users will have to use mouse or MIDI controllers for tweaking the parameters and playing sounds live. We're also planning to make the AU version as well.
Regarding Enhanced Subspace Frequency Modulation (ESFM): Ordinary approach to Frequency Modulation (that's having operators and FM matrix) is too complicated for a non-expert, making it very difficult to create new sounds (because often the user doesn't feel what causes changes in the sound when he's tweaking the parameters).
ESFM is the new approach to Frequency Modulation method (which is best suited for making noise-based sounds and sound effects) which allows editing presets in a very evident manner. Currently there are four
operators that comprise the sound: Brother, Sister (waveform oscillators), Noizer (multiband noise oscillator), Filter (active multifilter module). All the operators can modulate (modify the nature of) themselves or another operator in a static or dynamic (via LFO or user's gestures / accelerometer) ratio, this allows to create an immerse range of sounds.
At this stage, Noise.io is not intended to be polyphonic. The workchain looks like this: you fire up the Control Surface, and start sliding your fingers across the iPhone screen (just like in Korg's Kaosspad or Kaossilator). Sounds are generally huge and massive, contain post-FX (especially my favorite "space swooshes") and introducing polyphony seriously affects perfomance which is not acceptable for us.
I really like that it's shipping not just as an iPhone app, but as a computer plug-in, as well. That's not such an easy thing to do, and certainly wouldn't be appropriate for everything, but I think this could become a trend in the long run for some synths. It'll help, of course, if they're synths that work well with making "swoosh" sounds with your finger gestures. (And incidentally, that may not only impact the Apple platforms, but future, smarter mobile platforms, as well. Mobile Linux soft synths, anyone?)
We'll stay with this one as it develops.
