I've written a few posts about error handling in ASP.NET MVC. It's not easy to get it right since the MVC pipeline uses a different error handling method than ASP.NET itself. With our client library you can get a fully working implementation for free, without having to using the rest of our service.

Displaying date/time using the user timezone in ASP.NET MVC
This post will show you how you can display date/time using the user timezone (without it being configured anywhere in your application).

How to dynamically modify model meta data in ASP.NET MVC
Normally you just add the
[Required] attribute to a view model to make it required. But I needed a way to configure whether a field to be required or not. The requirement was that it should be configured through web.config:
<appSettings> <add key="ticket-cat1-required" value="true" /> </appSettings>
Having to modify the view or the controller would not be very clean. Instead it's much better to take advantage of the
ModelValidatorProvider. I could have just done like this:
public class ConfigurableModelValidatorProvider : LocalizedModelValidatorProvider { protected override IEnumerable<ModelValidator> GetValidators(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context, IEnumerable<System.Attribute> attributes) { bool isRequired = metadata.ContainerType == typeof (CreateViewModel) && ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ticket-cat1-required"] == "true"; var theAttributes = attributes.ToList(); if (!theAttributes.Any(x => x is RequiredAttribute) && isRequired) theAttributes.Add(new RequiredAttribute()); return base.GetValidators(metaDataContext.Metadata, context, attributes); } }
And then assigned it in global.asax:
protected void Application_Start() { ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Clear(); ModelValidatorProviders.Providers.Add(new ConfigurableModelValidatorProvider()); //... }
But that would have created a tightly coupled provider.
The loosely coupled way
Instead I decided to take advantage of my inversion of control container and define some interfaces.
///  /// Can adapt the generated metadata before it's sent to the view ///  public interface IModelMetadataAdapter { ///  /// Adapt the meta data ///  /// <param name="context">Context information</param> void Adapt(MetadataContext context); }
The context used to modify the meta data:
///  /// context for <see cref="IModelMetadataAdapter"/> ///  public class MetadataContext { ///  /// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="MetadataContext"/> class. ///  /// <param name="metadata">The metadata.</param> public MetadataContext(ModelMetadata metadata) { if (metadata == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("metadata"); Metadata = metadata; } ///  /// See MSDN for info ///  public ModelMetadata Metadata { get; set; } }
Which allowed me to create this class (which is automatically registered in Griffin.Container):
[Component] public class ToggleRequiredOnCreateModel : IModelMetadataAdapter { public void Adapt(MetadataContext context) { if (context.Metadata.ContainerType != typeof(CreateViewModel)) return; context.Metadata.IsRequired = false; if (context.Metadata.PropertyName != "Category1") return; context.Metadata.IsRequired = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ticket-cat1-required"] == "true"; } }
To make it all possible I've also have to modify the validator provider:
public class ConfigurableModelValidatorProvider : LocalizedModelValidatorProvider { protected override IEnumerable<ModelValidator> GetValidators(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context, IEnumerable<System.Attribute> attributes) { var services = DependencyResolver.Current.GetServices<IModelMetadataAdapter>(); var metaDataContext = new MetadataContext(metadata); foreach (var service in services) { service.Adapt(metaDataContext); } var theAttributes = attributes.ToList(); if (!theAttributes.Any(x => x is RequiredAttribute) && metaDataContext.Metadata.IsRequired) theAttributes.Add(new RequiredAttribute()); return base.GetValidators(metaDataContext.Metadata, context, attributes); } }
In my case I'm using my Griffin.MvcContrib project to handle the localization, that's why I inherit LocalizedModelValidatorProvider and not DataAnnotationsModelValidatorProvider.
Adding a required indicator in ASP.NET MVC3 using jQuery
You might want to indicate that fields in ASP.NET MVC3 is required visually.
It's easy thanks to the HTML attributes that the unobtrusive validation API generates.
Start by adding a new CSS class in your
site.css called something like
.required-indicator { color: red; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold; }
Then add a small jQuery script somewhere (in the layout or an application.js):
$(function() {
$('[data-val-required]').after('*');
Done! Here is a sample fiddle.
How to handle transactions in ASP.NET MVC3
I got annoyed about having to repeat the transaction handling in every POST method of my controllers. First of all: I don't want to have to take the unit of work in the constructor of each controller, since that implicitly says that all/most methods uses transactions. And I do not want to have to resolve a factory, since that says that all methods might use transactions. Finally using a singleton is the worst of solutions.
The problem wasn't that hard to solve thanks to the flexibility of ASP.NET MVC3. But let's start by looking at a typical post method:
[HttpPost] public virtual ActionResult Create(CreateModel model) { if (!ModelState.IsValid) return View(model); var instruction = new Instruction(CurrentUser); Mapper.Map(model, instruction); using (var uow = _unitOfWorkFactory.Create()) { _repository.Save(instruction); uow.SaveChanges(); } return RedirectToAction("Details", new {id = instruction.Id}); }
What I did was to create a new action filter called
TransactionalAttribute. It checks if the model state is valid and that no exceptions have been thrown. It uses the
DependencyResolver to find a
IUnitOfWork implementation if everything checks out OK. Since this is done in an action filter, the transaction will not be created unless it's actually required. All you have to do is to register the UoW factory in your IoC container and tag your action:
[HttpPost, Transactional] public virtual ActionResult Create(CreateModel model) { if (!ModelState.IsValid) return View(model); var instruction = new Instruction(CurrentUser); Mapper.Map(model, instruction); _repository.Save(instruction); return RedirectToAction("Details", new {id = instruction.Id}); }
There is a small catch: You must add an error to the
ModelState if you catch exceptions in your class. The transaction will otherwise get committed.
[HttpPost, Transactional] public virtual ActionResult Create(CreateModel model) { if (!ModelState.IsValid) return View(model); try { model.Category = model.Category ?? "Allmänt"; var instruction = new Instruction(CurrentUser); Mapper.Map(model, instruction); _repository.Save(instruction); return RedirectToAction("Details", new {id = instruction.Id}); } catch (Exception err) { // Adds an error to prevent commit. ModelState.AddModelError("", err.Message); Logger.Error("Failed to save instruction for app " + CurrentApplication, err); return View(model); } }
The attribute itself looks like this:
public class TransactionalAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { private IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork; public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { if (filterContext.Controller.ViewData.ModelState.IsValid && filterContext.HttpContext.Error == null) _unitOfWork = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<IUnitOfWork>(); base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext); } public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext) { if (filterContext.Controller.ViewData.ModelState.IsValid && filterContext.HttpContext.Error == null && _unitOfWork != null) _unitOfWork.SaveChanges(); base.OnActionExecuted(filterContext); } }
Simple, but effective! 🙂
The actual unit of work implementation depends on which kind of data layer you are using. You can use the following code snippet if you are using nhibernate and have successfully registered the
ISession in your container:
public class NhibernateUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork { private readonly ISession _session; private ITransaction _transaction; public NhibernateUnitOfWork(ISession session) { _session = session; _transaction = session.BeginTransaction(); } public void Dispose() { if (_transaction == null) return; if (!_transaction.WasCommitted) _transaction.Rollback(); _transaction.Dispose(); _transaction = null; } public void SaveChanges() { _transaction.Commit(); } }
The Unit of work interface is really simple:
public interface IUnitOfWork : IDisposable { void SaveChanges(); }
Repositories, Unit Of Work and ASP.NET MVC
There are a lot of posts discussing repository implementations, unit of work and ASP.NET MVC. This post is an attempt to give you and answer which addresses all three issues.
Do NOT create generic repositories. They look fine when you look at them. But as the application grow you'll notice that you have to do some workarounds in them which will break open/closed principle.
It's much better to create repositories that are specific for an entity and it's aggregate since it's much easier to show intent. And you'll also only create methods that you really need, YAGNI.
Generic repositories also removes the whole idea with choosing an OR/M since you can't use your favorite OR/Ms features.
Unit Of Work
Most OR/Ms available do already implement the UoW pattern. You simply just need to create an interface and make and adapter (google Adapter pattern) implementation for your OR/M.
public interface IUnitOfWork : IDisposable { void SaveChanges(); }
NHibernate sample implemenetation:
public class NHibernateUnitOfWork : IUnitOfWork { private readonly ITransaction _transaction; public NHibernateUnitOfWork(ISession session) { if (session == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("session"); _transaction = session.BeginTransaction(); } public void Dispose() { if (!_transaction.WasCommitted) _transaction.Rollback(); _transaction.Dispose(); } public void SaveChanges() { _transaction.Commit(); } }
I prefer to use an attribute to handle transactions in MVC. It makes the action methods cleaner:
[HttpPost, Transactional] public ActionResult Update(YourModel model) { //your logic here }
And the attribute implementation:
public class TransactionalAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute { private IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork; public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext) { _unitOfWork = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<IUnitOfWork>(); base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext); } public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext) { // let the container dispose/rollback the UoW. if (filterContext.Exception == null) _unitOfWork.SaveChanges(); base.OnActionExecuted(filterContext); } }
Get an unique session in each browser tab
I got a lot to do at work, hence the silence. I got a lot to blog about, but so little time ;/ I found an interesting question at stackoverflow which this answer is for (also to show you that the blog is not forgotten).
A user wanted to store browser tab specific data which can be a problem since most browsers shares a session between different tabs. The solution is to create a new route which generates a GUID and then
use that guid to fetch and store session information. Keep in mind that you need to routes: One that works for users which just surfed into the site, and one that loads an existing guid.
Here is the route class:
public class GuidRoute : Route { private readonly bool _isGuidRoute; public GuidRoute(string uri, object defaults) : base(uri, new RouteValueDictionary(defaults), new MvcRouteHandler()) { _isGuidRoute = uri.Contains("guid"); DataTokens = new RouteValueDictionary(); } public override RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext) { var routeData = base.GetRouteData(httpContext); if (routeData == null) return null; if (!routeData.Values.ContainsKey("guid") || routeData.Values["guid"].ToString() == "") routeData.Values["guid"] = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N"); return routeData; } public override VirtualPathData GetVirtualPath(RequestContext requestContext, RouteValueDictionary values) { return !_isGuidRoute ? null : base.GetVirtualPath(requestContext, values); } }
Replace the default route in global.asax with it:
/*routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults );*/ routes.Add("Default", new GuidRoute( "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", guid = "", id = UrlParameter.Optional })); routes.Add("GuidRoute", new GuidRoute( "g/{guid}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", guid = "", id = UrlParameter.Optional }));
And finally some extension methods to make life easier in the controllers:
public static class ControllerExtensionMethods { public static string GetGuid(this Controller controller) { return controller.RouteData.Values["guid"].ToString(); } public static void SetGuidSession(this Controller controller, string name, object value) { controller.Session[controller.GetGuid() + "_" + name] = value; } public static object GetGuidSession(this Controller controller, string name) { return controller.Session[controller.GetGuid() + "_" + name]; } }
One thing left though: Any browser bookmarks will use an old GUID. Should not be a problem in most cases (unless the user opens the bookmark in multiple tabs = sharing the session between the tabs). Same
thing goes for opening a link in a new tab = shared.
How to handle errors in ASP.NET MVC
There are several blog posts regarding error handling for ASP.NET MVC. They use everything from
Application_Error to exception handling in the base controller. With this post I'll show how you can use the built in features in MVC to treat errors.
First draft of my alternative HTML helpers
I'm getting closer to a first release of my ASP.NET MVC contribution project called Griffin.MvcContrib. I've just committed my first draft of the alternative HTML helpers. I've focused on helpers for Form tags in this commit. If you are wondering what's wrong with the original helpers, please see my previous blog entry about using extension as an important part of a framework.
Here are some new features that my HTML providers add:
By using extension methods there is no way to extend the functionality in them. I've solved this in two ways. First and foremost there aren't any extension methods. My
HtmlHelper class is just a facade that tries to use the
DependencyResolver to find the proper generators. It will also create the default implementations if no extended ones are found.
To extend one of the helpers, simply derive it and make the changes you like. The following sample with add a "title" attribute to all text areas (which then can be picked up by a jquery script to create a nice tool tip)
public class MyCustomTextAreaGenerator : TextAreaGenerator { public MyCustomTextAreaGenerator(ViewContext viewContext) : base(viewContext) { } protected override IEnumerable<NestedTagBuilder> GenerateTags() { var generatedTags = base.GenerateTags().ToArray(); generatedTags[0].MergeAttribute("title", "You are so dirty!"); return generatedTags; } }
and then register it in your current inversion of control container. Here is a sample for autofac:
containerBuilder .RegisterType<MyCustomTextAreaGenerator>() .AsImplementedInterfaces();
The following generators do currently exist:
- CheckBoxGenerator
- RadioButtonGenerator
- SelectGenerator
- TextAreaGenerator
- TextBoxGenerator
Post processing generated HTML tags
You can also add more generic adapters which can be used to transform the generated HTML tags. The sample project which is included in github shows you how to:
- create watermarks for textboxes
- Add tooltips
- Transform all age fields into UI sliders
Here is the watermark example:
public class WatermarkAdapter : IFormItemAdapter { public void Process(FormItemAdapterContext context) { // there is a "Watermark" metadata but it cannot currently be set. // unless you are using a custom metadata provider like the one in the localization demo. if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(context.Metadata.Description) || !context.TagBuilder.Attributes.ContainsKey("class") || !context.TagBuilder.Attributes["class"].Contains("watermark")) return; context.TagBuilder.MergeAttribute("title", "Watermark:" + context.Metadata.Description); } }
And the jquery script creating the actual watermark (uses the jquery watermark plugin):
function watermark() {
$('[title*="Watermark:"]').each(function () {
Enum galore
Are you using enums? Sure you do. The html helpers in Griffin.MvcContrib can generate lists, checkboxes and radio buttons automatically for them.
The following code:
@Html2.CheckBoxesFor(model => model.InputType)
 @Html2.RadioButtonsFor(model => model.InputType)
 @Html2.DropdownFor(model => model.InputType)

Generates the following HTML:
Lets format that dropdown
Dropdowns are something else that I've tried to improve. You can use formatters to determine how the select lists should be generated.
The following example are using a custom formatter which has been made to transform user objects:
@Html2.DropdownFor(model => model.CurrentUser, Select.From<UserFormatter>(Model.Users))
And the actual formatter:
public class UserFormatter : ISelectItemFormatter { public SelectListItem Generate(object itm) { var item = (User)itm; return new SelectListItem { Text = string.Format("{0} {1}", item.FirstName, item.LastName), Value = item.Id.ToString() }; } }
There are to formatters built into MvcContrib:
- IdTitle
- IdName
They uses reflection to find the proper properties.
All mentioned helpers should work without any problems. But I'm not done with the helpers yet. This post is most about me wanting feedback. Have I made any stupid mistakes? Do you have any suggestions how I can improve the code?
Please take a look at the sample project
The actual source code for all helpers can be found here
A more structured MembershipProvider.
If you take a look at the official documentation that tells you how to create your own custom MembershipProvider you'll notice that the documentation is mostly about describing:
- how you should throw exceptions and when
- Which events you should invoke and when
- How the logic in each method should work.
Let's stop here for a moment. What are the most typical reason for creating a custom membership provider? Is it to change the behaviour(/contract) of the provider? Or maybe change the password handling? No. The most common reason is to add support for a custom data source.
Back to the MembershipProvider class. As I see it, it has four responsibilites:
- Be able to handle all members (login, register etc)
- Load/Store information from/in a data source
- Keep track of account/password policies and handle those.
- Handle passwords (encrypt/hash/compare)
And that's why it's such a tedious task to create a custom
MembershipProvider: You need to implement all of those responsibilities.
Griffin.MvcContrib to the rescue!
With the
MembershipProvider in
Griffin.MvcContrib you do not need to know all of those details. Our
MembershipProvider uses
DependencyResolver (a built in
Service Locator in MVC3) to lookup the dependencies that it needs. You need to register the following services in your inversion of control container:
Used to retrieve/store membership accounts from/to a data source. It's the only thing you need to implement to get support for a custom data source (like a database or a web service).
Used to handle passwords (comparing them, encrypting, decrypting). There are three strategies available in the framework:
- ClearTextStrategy – Store passwords as clear text in the database
- HashedPasswordStrategy – Hash passwords before they are stored.
- TripleDesPasswordStrategy – Use TripleDes to encrypt/decrypt passwords.
Defines how passwords should be treated. For instance the minimum length, number of attempts before locking the account etc.
Two policy implementations exist. One who loads the policies from web.config and one "normal" class which you can create and assign the properties in.
How to use it
Disclaimer: You should know that Account Administration Tools won't work since the provider has a dependency on DependencyResolver. Other than that, the provider works like any other provider.
Start by modifying your web.config to specify the new provider:
<membership defaultProvider="GriffinMembershipProvider"> <providers> <clear /> <add name="GriffinMembershipProvider" type="Griffin.MvcContrib.Providers.Membership.MembershipProvider" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </membership>
Then you need to register the dependencies in your inversion of control container. Here is a sample for Autofac:
protected void Application_Start() { ContainerBuilder builder = new ContainerBuilder(); builder.RegisterType<HashPasswordStrategy>().AsImplementedInterfaces(); builder.RegisterType<RavenDbAccountRepository>().AsImplementedInterfaces(); builder.RegisterInstance(new PasswordPolicy { IsPasswordQuestionRequired = false, IsPasswordResetEnabled = true, IsPasswordRetrievalEnabled = false, MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts = 5, MinRequiredNonAlphanumericCharacters = 0, PasswordAttemptWindow = 10, PasswordMinimumLength = 6, PasswordStrengthRegularExpression = null }).AsImplementedInterfaces(); // the rest of the initialization }
If you like to switch from hashed passwords to encrypted passwords you just need to register
TripleDesStrategy in the container instead. Or implement your own strategy.
The code is available at github and can be installed using nuget
install-package griffin.mvccontrib.

My Butter
So then I had lots of really nice comments last week post bake off episode on breads. On the day I made a spiced butter for use on my Bara Brith and salted butter for my Garlic, Basil and Olive bread. I have decided to give you my recipe, there is a secret though...THIS IS ABSOLUTELY EASY TO MAKE SSSSH TELL NO ONE ESPECIALLY KERRY GOLD!
The first time I made butter was one Sunday when I was a kid my mum had made strawberry flan and had asked me to whip the cream. Disaster struck, Mum!!!! the cream has gone funny looking??? WILLEM for god sake you have made butter.... Willem : Oops, I will go to the shop and get more cream.
Round 2.... MUM !! I have done it again. WILLEM!! forget we are not having cream today. Needless to say I learnt how to whip cream. However when Paul came to my bench on the bake off with a face of horror it brought me back to that day with my mum.
1 litre of double cream
2 tsp sea salt flakes
Using an electric whisk beat the cream in a bowl for about 12 minutes until the solids in the cream separate out from the liquid.
Drain the butter in a sieve pushing out as much liquid as possible and add in the sea salt to the butter.
Pour the mixture into a sieve squeezing it until the buttermilk stops running freely from the butter. Reserve the buttermilk.
Return the butter a the bowl with 500ml chilled water and beat for a further 2-3 minutes. Flushing out any remaining buttermilk. Buttermilk makes the butter go off faster.
Return the butter to the sieve. Strain and press to squeeze out the remaining liquid. Place the butter in a small bowl and work through the sea salt.
Press into a glass or ceramic container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate. It will keep fresh in the fridge for 7-10 days.
Thanks for reading,

Remnant Bushland
Many Australian towns and cities still retain patches of bushland, often in narrow strips along creek lines, or in areas that have been set aside for non-residential purposes. Remnant bushland, even when degraded by weeds, disturbed by changed hydrology or previously cleared of large trees, provides vital habitat for a diversity of bush birds. Larger areas, with less 'edge' are usually less degraded and provide better habitat than narrow corridors.
Many species of bird, particularly small insectivores and honeyeaters have not survived well in human-dominated landscapes. Some species still persist in remnants of bush land in urban areas, but in many cases these species are in decline. People living near patches of remnant bush land have a special opportunity to reduce the effects of urbanisation on these important reservoirs of biodiversity. Careful garden design has the potential both to supplement resources available within the remnant, as well as to reduce threats (e.g., invasive weeds) from other parts of the suburban landscape.
Remnants are vulnerable
Because remnants of bushland tend to be small, they can often only support a few individuals of a particular species. Small populations are particularly vulnerable to extinction, because random events such as the death of a breeding female during a cold snap can disrupt the capacity for the population to recruit new individuals. Activities that minimise such events, such as preventing predation by cats, have particular benefit in neighbourhoods next to bushland.
Encouraging recolonisation
If a population becomes extinct in a bushland remnant there is still potential for birds to recolonise the remnant. However, colonisers will either need to be present in surrounding gardens or to be able to access the remnant from another remnant. Gardens designed to assist wildlife play a valuable role by providing habitat refuges and/or safe habitat through which birds can move from other remnants.
Conservation by councils
Urban bushland may be conserved in Nature Reserves, National or Regional Parks. In New South Wales, Local Government Authorities (LGAs) are legally obliged to manage parks and wildlife areas for biodiversity, so they will have programs that they are running. Ask them what they are doing and see if you can become involved, or if your garden can assist .Many local councils support extensive community volunteer programs to restore and regenerate sites - find out more in Bush care and regeneration.

Having survived the streets for five years, Alexis Amari knows that staying safe means keeping to herself and not getting attached to anyone. All her training and logic come to nothing the day she visits Ye Olde Kinke Faire, intent on picking as many pockets as she can, and meets Ryan Walston.
At twenty, Ryan has a good life and is training to be a Dom. He's at home at Elan Isle and Ye Olde Kinke Faire and when he meets Alexis, falls head over heels. When he finds out about her past, he gets her a job on the island. He hopes to be a good Dom someday. With them starting out on a D/s relationship, someday is now today and he struggles with the gaping holes in his experience.
Real work is harder than Alexis anticipated and she finds it more difficult to follow the rules than she expects. They both worry they will mess things up. The best night of their lives is blown apart and their entire future hovers on the edge of a knife. To move forward, Ryan and Alexis must face their deepest fears without falling apart. The sacrifices they make will either save their relationship or send them careening over the edge.
Publisher: ATT Press
Cover Artists:
From her spot leaning against the railing, Alexis Amari had a pretty good view of the people around her. Each one was excited for what lay ahead. Alexis was excited too, though not for the reason they were. They were headed to Elan Isle to partake in something called Ye Olde Kinke Faire. She'd been to several renaissance fairs in her lifetime so it would be old hat. Every day at such an event was good for her pocketbook. With cash sticking out of pockets, and billfolds peeking out of purses, renaissance fairs were the perfect place to pick a pocket or ten.READ MORE
A part of her felt badly for what she was about to do, but like every other time her conscience stood up and tried to tell her she was a good girl and that "Good girls don't steal," she pushed it away. After all, that voice sounded remarkably like her grandmother and her grandmother had never been in her situation. Good girls might not steal, but she'd rather steal than other courses she'd had to take at times.
Since they had another fifteen minutes before they docked at Elan Isle, she people watched. Part of her was keeping an eye out for the most likely to lose their money. They were easy to spot as their billfolds already showed. In this group, a lot more showed than she'd ever seen before. The men wore skintight pants and the women had on such short skirts that if they bent over, Alexis turned away. Looking at pussy wasn't her thing and from what she could tell, none of the women in the short skirts wore underwear.
They made her feel overdressed in jeans and a camisole top.
Besides the tacky clothes, she noticed a few women in period garb. Well, period garb was an overstatement. Their dresses might have looked eighteenth century-ish, if it weren't for the fact their breasts were outside of their corsets waving in the wind. How brazen—and fascinating. She watched them out of the corner of her eye and saw one of them bring out a book. Alexis recognized the cover right off. It had been on the bestseller shelves for a few years. Something about kinky romance, if she remembered correctly.
While she could understand people's right to read what they wanted, the whole romance angle bothered her. There was no such thing as happily ever after. None. She should know. At nineteen, she'd been on her own for five years. Ever since the day her father kicked her out of the house. Alexis had been lucky. A few other homeless teens taught her the ropes. She'd learned how to pick pockets and where people left out good food.
Unfortunately gangs had moved in wanting the money, and she'd had to move out. On her way out of town, she'd found out what a treasure a renaissance fair was. Every day the foot traffic changed. She was free to pick pockets all day long as those people wouldn't be back the next day. Renaissance fairs had supported her through some rough winters. Nobody believed the pretty girl with the straight black hair, olive skin, and doe eyes would steal a thing. If they only knew.
Alexis looked back at the woman with the romance. She was laughing and waving the book about as she appeared to be reading from it. Whatever she said sent a roar of laughter up from those around her. Nobody seemed to be taking the book seriously. Huh. Maybe they weren't into romance either.
Turning away from the people, she gazed out over the water at the approaching island. She'd never heard of a renaissance fair on an island before. It made her a little queasy as getting away would be nigh difficult if she was caught. The ferry only went three times daily. But surely on an island there would be places to hide. She was banking on it as there was no way to turn back now. She'd seen enough money on the boat to pay for the next week's food.COLLAPSE

Pepe dodged questions on the future of his Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday and insisted the four-time Ballon d'Or winner was merely focused on the Confederations Cup.
Ronaldo's future remains cloudy after reports in Portugal suggested he wanted to leave the Champions League winners after Spanish authorities launched an investigation into his tax affairs.
There have also been suggestions Pepe has been advising his club and international colleague, urging him to leave Madrid for a new challenge, with Paris Saint-Germain and Ronaldo's former club Manchester United thought to be interested.
But the centre-half was playing a predictably straight bat when quizzed on the issue ahead of Portugal's Confederations Cup clash with Russia in Moscow.
He said: "We are professionals and we are just thinking about doing our best in the Confederations Cup, to go as far as possible in this tournament. It's the first time Portugal has played in this tournament so it's a privilege for all of us.
"Cristiano is just one more player who is always motivated."
Pepe's deal at Santiago Bernabeu expires at the end of the month and he too has been heavily linked with PSG.
The 34-year-old is adamant, however, that no agreement has been reached with any club at this stage.
"My future is the national team," he said. "I don't have a contract [for next season] at the moment and I have no agreement with any club.
"I'm only focused on the national team and to go as far as possible here."
Portugal drew their opening Group A game 2-2 with Mexico on Sunday and will target a victory against the host nation at Spartak Stadium.
"Russia is a very cohesive team, all their players work a lot, they give their best," Pepe said.
"We are preparing for this game very well, doing our work to win.
"It's going to be difficult but we have players who are very capable and have a strong motivation to bring happiness to all the Portuguese people.
"It's going to be a very complicated game so we have to be alert."

Plant-based lifestyle, or veganism, is becoming one of Britain's fastest growing trends. There are now more than half a million vegans in Britain, according to research commissioned by The Vegan Society in partnership with Vegan Life magazine. The 2016 study, carried out by researchers Ipsos MORI, found 542,000 people in Britain are now following a vegan diet. acheter coque iphone en ligne Ten years before the estimated number of vegans was just 150,000. Concerns over animal welfare, clear labelling, increased accessibility to plant-based alternatives to dairy food and social media have all helped shift attitudes towards veganism. coque iphone xs max
What is a vegan?
Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, or poultry. coque iphone Vegans, in addition to being vegetarian, do not use or consume other animal products and by-products such as eggs, dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and soaps derived from animal products. coque iphone But a vegan restricted diet can cause nutritional deficiencies in Calcium, Iron, vitamin B12, vitamin D and Zinc. If a rich and varied diet of colourful foods is consumed every day, deficiencies can be avoided with the addition of a simple multivitamin and mineral supplement. Smoking, drinking, dieting, pregnancy, those taking medication including the contraceptive pill, older vegans and those undertaking more than the usual amount of exercise may need to consider further supplementation to avoid deficiencies and boost vitality.

Is yucca root the same as taro root? Do I need to par cook it first before I fry it?

Cassava (also called yuca and manioc) is definitely poisonous in its raw state. One of the ingenious developments in the history of humans is that so many peoples developed ways to make it edible. Indians in what is now Guyana had four feet long woven baskets into which they would stuff mashed cassava mixed with water. They would pull the baskets from both ends to squeeze the mash dry, thus washing out the cyanide. the result was a food rich in carbohydrates, which was one of their staples.
We eat cassava in a more processed form: tapioca.
Cassava is not the only food that is poisonous in its raw state. Bitter almonds is another example. The toxins are an evolutionary development that protect the plant from insect or animal predation.
December 15, 2013
The wikipedia writeup on cassava is most likely referring to bitter cassava. I have grown up in Africa and have had cassava as part of my diet all my life. It cooks like a potato. Just peel, wash and either cook it water and little salt on the stove top or pressure cook to 3 whistles; you can then deep fry it for cassava chips
July 29, 2011
Do you mean yuca (cassava)? When using this, you do need to make sure you soak it at least 18 hours or use one of the other safe processing methods. It contains toxins (a variety of cyanide, I believe) that can make it toxic to humans if you don't cook it properly. Here's more information:

Yucca (native to the Americas & the Caribbean) and taro (native to Southeast Asia) are different, though they're both starchy root vegetables.
All the recipes I've seen for fried yucca call for boiling or steaming first -- it's too dense and fibrous to be cooked through by a fast, high-heat method like frying. But they're well worth the extra step!

a collection of holistic nutrition tips & tricks, plus many of Food on the Table's favourite recipes
Healthy Chocolates
Did you know chocolate (real chocolate) is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet?! Did you know that's it's full of magnesium and magnesium just happens to be one of the most used nutrients in our body keeping our muscle and nerve function steady.
Did you know raw chocolate is a mood booster? It contains a compound called anandamide which is a "feel good" molecule and boosts seratonin production in your brain. In fact, chocolate has over 300 chemicals which may contribute to that "warm-n-fuzzy" feeling we get from eating it.
Did you know that chocolate has anti-inflammatory properties and provides anti-oxidants to protect the heart, improve circulation and lower blood pressure. It's also a very rich source of iron. Adding a few tablespoons of cacao powder or nibs to your morning smoothie can boost iron levels and reverse low blood iron levels or anemia.
So...what exactly is my point? Well...I guess it's to eat more chocolate if that's your jam. I mean real chocolate. Like a dark chocolate bar with at least 70% chocolate and minimal ingredients (especially processed sugar) or raw cacao powder or nibs to add to your baking, smoothies, coffee or to make your very own chocolate!
Incorporated with healthy fats from coconut oil and coconut manna, these tasty treats are a superfood that will provide nutrients to make your body (and brain) very happy. I feel good about indulging in these decadent bites especially when I make them sugarfree by using stevia or erythritol (fermented sugar).
Feel free to experiment with natural flavours like peppermint, orange, cinnamon or almond. You can add texture by adding shredded coconut, nuts and seeds or cacao nibs!
You can pour the melted chocolate into molds or simply pour into a greased baking dish. Refrigerate then pop out of molds, cut or break up into chunks.
Due to the nature of coconut oil, these are best kept refrigerated until ready to eat.
½ cup organic, virgin coconut oil
½ cup coconut butter (also called manna)
1/3 cup cacao or carob powder
2-3 tablespoons natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, erythritol or stevia) *Stevia is 200x sweeter than sugar, so start with a few drops and add to taste.*
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon unrefined sea salt
1. Heat coconut oil and coconut butter in a saucepan on medium - low heat until it starts to slightly brown.
2. Place remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor.
3. Add melted coconut oil/butter mixture and blend until smooth.
4. Pour chocolate sauce into molds or a greased baking tray and refrigerate until hard.
5. Remove from molds or cut into pieces.
6. Keep refrigerated.

The "Berlin Republic" has become the key concept of post-Cold War Germany and as such has been widely discussed inside as well as outside Germany.

Well known German authors, decision-makers, and cultural leaders as well as internationally renowned experts on German affairs contribute to this volume, examining various aspects of the New Germany and its old/new capital, such as history, foreign policy, art, architecture, and culture. In this way, the reader gains a varied but comprehensive picture of Germany after unification as perceived by its neighbors, friends, and allies.

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
It's very, very brief, but considering Kara's first season on the CW is just 20 days away, it's kind of crazy that this is the first time we're seeing footage from Supergirl's sophomore showing.
As with much of the show's marketing for season two (a blessing and a curse), it's very much about the arrival of the Man of Steel as an actual character in the show, rather than, say, a text message or a set of shins.
But still, it's our first look at the CW era of Supergirl. Which looks a lot like the CBS era of Supergirl, and that's just fine by us. Supergirl returns on October 10th.

Homophobia, child abuse, homelessness, rape.
Those are all problems that gay men and suspected homosexuals endure on their way to adulthood, especially in black communities where acceptance is rarely encouraged. In fact, the opposite of acceptance is the status quo.
On this week's episode of the Trini Trent Radio podcast, Terry Torro and I are sharing stories from our lives as we seek to understand this continuing cycle of violence. In many ways, we are still scarred from our experiences.
Fortunately, neither of us have been sexually abused but there are gay boys who seek validation from men who they assume to be protecters but are actually predators. Some of the youth even allow these men to use their bodies just so they can make their way in society.
The situation is grim and it is truly disheartening that parents would rather reject their gay sons than try to understand them, thus breeding another generation of lost boys.

Gambling with My Sanity...
So, um, welcome to my world! And no, I'm not in Seoul yet. I tell myself every week that THIS is the week I'll get a job, but each week passes and I'm still job-free. But that's okay. I know it's all a part of the process. Let me recap how I ended up in this predicament:
Back in January, I set out to get my TEFL Certification through Bloomfield College. I have a vicious travel addiction and teaching overseas for a bit seemed like a great way to travel and try out something new and fun. Everything started out lovely. GUARANTEED positions at schools through the Korean government! Blah blah...blah. I took the classes (online and every Saturday from 9-5pm), I got certified, and I thought I was good to goright? WRONG!!!!! In July, good ole Bloomfield informs me that I will be placed in RURAL Chungcheongbuk-do, the only landlocked province in all of South Korea. You couldn't even Google this place so imagine my shock and horror when my hopes of living and working in Seoul got dashed. Well, I decided not to just "go with the flow" as some of my fellow teachers did. No. This was MY dream and I'll be damned if anyone was going to steal it from me. So I've set out on my own to get placed in Seoul. So far, it's been frustrating at times, I won't lie. My sanity escapes me at times. Yes, I'm black. I'm black, black, blackkity black black!! And it ain't gonna change! Yes, this seems to make it slightly more challenging to get placed. However, I'm not unaccustomed to adversity. I don't run and cry when someone makes fun of me (although I used to...back in 6th grade). Above all, I'm a young woman who is determined to do this. I think this type of adventure will reinforce my goals in life and give me a different perspective. I look forward to making new friends and having awesome experiences. One of my favorite quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt says that the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Cheesy? Somewhat. True? Absolutely! And so, while this whole "process" leaves me feeling a little unwanted and a little bruised somedays...I'm still here. And I'm not giving up. :) Wish me luck!! - Joia

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Junior attacker Nick Brett (Loudon, NH/Merrimack Valley HS) and freshman attacker Adam Niden (Walpole, MA/Walpole HS) scored a game-high five goals each as the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's lacrosse team defeated visiting Clark, 15-7, in a non-conference match at Cressy Field Wednesday evening.
The Corsairs took a 3-0 lead to open the game, but the Cougars answered back with two goals in three minutes, making the score 3-2 with 4:00 left in the first quarter. The teams exchanged goals during the second quarter until Niden buried his second goal of the game with 27 seconds remaining in the first half, sending the squads into the break with the Corsairs leading 7-5. UMass Dartmouth carried their offensive momentum into the third quarter, netting five goals in the period, two coming by way of Niden. UMD added three goals in the fourth quarter, two coming from the stick of Brett, en route to the 15-7 victory.
Senior attacker Josh Arsenault (Revere, MA/Malden Catholic HS) added two goals and two assists for UMD, while junior midfielder Alex Reposa (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury HS), sophomore defender Larry Gilvarg (Natick, MA/Natick HS) and freshman midfielder Todd Davis (Sandwich, MA/Sandwich HS) also scored during the contest. Seven different players scored a goal for Clark University. Junior attacker Phil Winslow (Providence, RI/Mount Saint Charles Academy) had a goal and two assists, while senior midfielder Danny Heelan (Avon, CT/Avon HS) and junior attacker Chris Johnson (Amherst, MA/Amherst Regional HS) contributed a goal and an assist in the loss.
"We had 45 minutes of really good lacrosse today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Kevin Mahoney. "We played well in the first, third and fourth quarters. Our offense kept clicking and our offensive players are attacking, [Adam] Niden, [Nick] Brett, and Josh Arsenault are doing a great job across the board. We are doing better at bouncing back from the hardships we face and Clark is a good young team."
The Corsairs outshot the Cougars, 35-28. Sophomore goalkeeper Pete Foley (Northbridge, MA/Blackstone Valley Regional VHS) made 11 stops for UMD. Cougars junior goalkeeper Andrew DeVito (Glastonbury, CT/Glastonbury HS) played the first half, making five saves while freshman goalkeeper Kevin Ranta (Beverly, MA/Beverly HS) made six saves in the second half.
UMass Dartmouth improved to 8-1 with the victory, while Clark dropped to 3-6 with the defeat. The Corsairs will return to action when they host Plymouth Saturday. The Cougars will host Springfield Saturday.

A remote storage specified as a target location for backup files may be unavailable at the time when the backup job must start. In this case, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows cannot create a regular restore point upon the defined schedule. As a result, the backup chain on the remote storage will not contain a sequence of restore points that precisely complies with the backup schedule.
To overcome this limitation, Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows offers the concept of the backup cache. The backup cache is a temporary local storage in which Veeam Agent creates backup files in case the backed-up data cannot be transferred to a remote location. When the target location becomes available, Veeam Agent uploads backup files from the backup cache to the remote storage, adding regular restore points to the backup chain.
The backup cache lets you perform scheduled backup in due time ensuring that the resulting backup chain will contain "snapshots" of your data at desired points in time. This may be helpful, for example, for laptop users who go on business trips with no or limited access to the corporate network in which the backup location resides.
Technically, the backup cache is a local folder on the computer on which Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is installed. A user can define a folder for the backup cache and the size of the backup cache in the backup job settings.
The backup cache is available if the following types of storage are chosen as a target location:
- Network shared folder
- Microsoft OneDrive storage
- Backup repository managed by a Veeam backup server
- Cloud repository managed by a Veeam Cloud Connect service provider

Role of Banks in Indian Economy
Banking system plays a very significant role in the economy of a country. It is central to a nation's economy as it caters to the needs of credit for all the sections of the society. Money-lending in one form or the other has evolved along with the history of mankind. Even in the ancient times, there are references to the money-lenders, in the form of sahukars and zamindars who lend money by mortgaging the land property of the borrowers.
Towards the beginning of the 20 century, with the onset of modern industry in our country, the need for government-regulated banking system was felt. The British government began to pay attention towards the need for an organized banking sector in the country and the Reserve Bank of India was set up to regulate the formal banking sector in the country. Ever since they were nationalized in 1969, banks have been playing a major role in the socio-economic life of the country. The have to act not only as purveyors of credit, but also as harbingers of social and economic development through a variety of enterprises, many of which may tiny and yet capable of generating productive energies.
Agriculture in
India has a significant
history and it is demographically the broadest economic sector and plays a
significant role in the overall socio-economic fabric of . Finance
in agriculture is an important as development of technologies. A dynamic and
growing agricultural sector needs adequate finance through banks to accelerate
overall growth. Most of the credit-related schemes of the government to uplift
the poorer and the under-privileged sections have been implemented through the
banking sector. With the passing of the Reserve Bank of India Act 1934, there
were improvements in agricultural credit. Earlier, the co-operative banks were
the main institutional agencies providing finance to agriculture. But after
nationalization of 14 major commercial banks, it was mandatory for them to
provide finance to agriculture as a priority sector. Thus, agricultural credit
acquired multi-agency dimension. India
The government has allocated `10000 crore to the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) for refinancing Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) to disburse short term crop loans to small and marginal farmers. The short-term crop loans scheme offers credit to farmers at 7 per cent interest rate. Besides, in order to reduce post-harvest losses, farmers are eligible to get post-harvest loans up to six months at 4 per cent interest rate provided they keep their produce in warehouses. The rural sector in a country like
can growth only if cheaper credit is available to the farmers for their
short-and medium-term loans. In addition, the farmers get loans for purchase of
electric motors with pump, tractors and other machinery, digging wells or
boring wells, purchase of dairy animals and for many other allied enterprises. India
The Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) is the premier institution in
financial assistance to the industrial sector projects. It provides direct
financial assistance to the industrial concerns in the form of granting loans
and advances, and purchasing or underwriting the issues of stocks, bonds or
debentures. The creation of the Development Assistance Fund is the special of
the IDBI. The Fund is used to provide assistance to those industries which are
not able to obtain funds mainly because of heavy investment involved or low
expected rate of returns. Assistance from the Fund requires the prior approval
by the government. Apart from this, the IDBI even gives guidance to start a
business. India
In addition to the above traditional roles, banks also perform certain new age functions which could not be thought of a couple of decades ago. Today, the banking sector is one of the biggest service sectors in
Availability of quality services is vital for the well-being of the economy.
The focus of banks has shifted from customer acquisition to customer retention.
With the stepping in of information technology in the banking sector, the
working strategy of the banking sector has been revolutionary changes. Various
customer-oriented products like internet banking, ATM services, telebanking and
electronic payment have lessened the workload of customers. The facility of
internet banking enables a consumer to access and operate his bank account
without actually visiting the bank premises. The facility of ATMs and
credit/debit cards has revolutionized the choices available with the customers.
Banks also serve as alternative gateways for making payments on account of
income-tax and online payment of various bills like the telephone, electricity
and tax. In the modern-day economy where people have not time to make these
payments by standing in queue, the services provided by banks are commendable. India
To conclude, we can say that the modern economies of the world have developed primarily by making best use of the credit availability in their systems.
is on the
march; far reaching socio-economic changes are taking place and Indian banks
should come forward to play this role in the process. The role of banks has
been important, but it is going to be even more important in the future. India

(1972- )
"Mary was born and raised in Arviat. She has only been carving for 'a couple of years', but she is also a talented seamstress who makes wallhangings, dolls and other sewing crafts. As a mother of two young children, Mary only carves when she has time.
"The strongest artistic influence in Mary's work are those of her mother, Alice Akammak, and her mother-in-law, Lucy (Tasseor) Tutsweetok. She learned by watching them as they worked. Mary has great admiration for Lucy's work and her success as a carver, 'I know my mother-in-law's work is exhibited in the south. I think she is good'.
"Mary prefers to carve with stone and does not use power tools when she carves, but uses only a file. 'I enjoy carving, I like to make a person or a seal. It's hard to decide what to make sometimes — how to shape the stone.' Mary feels that what makes her carving style different from other people is the introduction of beadwork to her work. 'I put beads around my carvings to make them look pretty.'"
Interview with Jill Barber, Oct. 12, 1998. Published in Carving Out A Future: Contemporary Inuit Sculpture of Third Generation Artists from Arviat, Cape Dorset and Clyde River, Feb. 18, 1999.

OK, slightly confused...Is the Addendum meant to be a supplement to your original book or more like a second edition with more info?

It's got original text and photos along with all new text and photos. It's like a comprehensive update that will eventually triple the size of the book but released in sections over time. We hope to have 3-4 addendums a year. I have to say, I have found some great stuff to add.

A black historian David W. Blight has discovered evidence that the first celebration of what came to be known as Memorial Day was conducted by former slaves. Over time that history was whitewashed to give others credit for the origins of Memorial Day. Oddly enough many of those those sources that credit others with the creation of Memorial Day mention the "Decoration Day" ceremony of the former slaves giving Blight's claims same credence. – See more at: http://www.africanamericanreports.com/2014/05/did-former-slaves-start-what-is-now.html#sthash.jAsSVwzJ.dpuf

Associated Press should not have used escaped Nigerian girl's name.13 May
I understand that the story of the 200 plus missing Nigerian girls is a major world wide news story. I understand that everyone is trying to come at it from as many angles as possible and that reporters want to interview the girls. I understand all that. But can anyone explain to me why an Associated Press story written by Haruna Umar and Michelle Faul used one of the escaped girls names? – See more at:http://politicsandpolitricks.blogspot.com/2014/05/ap-was-wrong-to-print-escaped-nigerian.html #BringBackOurGirls#BokoHaram #Nigeria

Mullen, 22, recently concluded his senior season at Denver University and recorded 25 points (4-21=25) and 39 penalty minutes in 38 games. His 21 assists were tied for fourth on the team while his 22 points set a collegiate career high.

Availability: In stock
This nice quality multi-piece construction armband features a black cotton Swastika mounted on a white cotton disc which in turn is stitched to the red wool body of the armband itself. Bordered top and bottom by a further two rings of black cotton material.
The only difference between the SA and SS arm band is the top and bottom black border stripes denoting the wearer as a member of the SS. In April 1925 the fledgling SS introduced its own version of the standard NSDAP swastika armband by the addition of the black stripes to both the top and bottom edge to differentiate SS personal from SA personal .The SS armband is approximately 5 inches x 15.5 inches in diameter.

Bodils favourite SATC-girl is Samantha. I like her a lot too - coz she does what she feels like, and because she is sassy and has great self esteem. But I also really like Miranda - funny, sharp and sarcastic...
Its a real chick flick. We look forward to it!
And no - we haven't been drinking Manhattans all afternoon. Or gotten out the Gucci-bags and Manolo Blahnik heels.
We don't have a problem going just the way we are. :-)
