The Story of Garry the Grape
Garry the Grape is the tale of Garry, and his adventure through the 2016 growing season to fulfill his dream of becoming a Baldacci Family Vineyard wine, the best wine in ALL of the world.
Garry's story begins in March. It was a cold night, the land was bleak, and the air was ripe with death. One cold spell or a lazy frost supervisor meant it was over before it began for our hero Garry.
"There were times when I thought I wasn't going to make it. It got really cold out there, but I knew if I could stay above 32 degrees I would be a great candidate for BFV wine, and that is what kept me going."
Winter was long, spring was longer and the potential of frost was ever present each passing day.
"My parents and grandparents never told me about a cold spring, all they could talk about were the heats in September and to conserve as much water as possible…"
Garry the grape made it through the Spring, and once again experienced a first.
"Rain? We had to go back to our great-great-great-great grandparents to figure out the translation, it was the drip from the sky… wow I like rain."
Garry's adventures through the spring into the summer were ALL focused on leaves and haircuts.
"I heard on the vine that two haircuts are another good sign that I had the potential to be a BFV wine. I worked hard to push as many leaves as possible and I tell you, it was worth it. That first haircut was amazing, tons of newfound energy, and after the second, I kicked it into another gear and started changing colors!"
Harvest was fast approaching, our Hero Garry had survived many trials and tribulations, but he was not safe yet.
"Some grapes get lazy at this time, they start to change color and they think that they are home free and destined for the picking bin. I knew better; ripen too fast and I would be a raisin, not up to BFV standards. Too slow and I would be cut on the ground before harvest began! I had worked all year, the 2016 growing season was awesome for me, I felt like I was in the perfect place to ripen, mentally and physically."
The growing season was perfect in 2016, warm days in the beginning followed by a two-week spell of nice, mild temperatures. Garry timed his ripening perfectly, and harvest was only a matter of time.
"I saw my boys Michael, Ricardo and Rolando out there more and more and I had heard those were the guys that make the final call. They kept trying all the grapes around me and talking about '…sweetness, chalky tannins, berry development and brix…' I really wasn't too sure what they were talking about, all I know is the other day I was sleeping when I was awakened by big lights and someone tugging at me with scissors, and I thought, this is the day!"
Garry's dream had become a reality. On the night of September 20, 2016 Baldacci Family Vineyards picked their first set of grapes, and our hero Garry made the cut. He had worked hard and the team at Baldacci appreciated his effort throughout the year.
"I knew I could do it the whole time! My parents and grandparents gave me some great advice before the season. I think that I stayed patient, didn't get ahead of myself and just took it one growing degree a day at a time. Baldacci saw my hard work and brought me into the winery for some fermentation and extraction and I know they will not regret it."
Stay tuned as our hero Garry travels from picking bin, through de-stemmer crusher and into the fermentation vat to make the full transition into wine!
Apples to Apples
Have you ever had so much fruit in your fridge that you didn't know what to do with it? Were you worried that it would go bad before you could eat it? I have this problem more often than you'd think. One fruit in particular is apples. I LOVE apples, but from the combination of my mom and grandmother I always seem to have baskets full of them.
Last weekend I washed, peeled, sliced and froze all the apples I had. This is a great way to preserve any fruit you may not be able to eat or use before it rots. Yesterday I made Apple Scrapple for the team at work. This is one of my favorite fall desserts! The warm cinnamon apples with the cold vanilla ice cream will leave your sweet tooth satisfied.
First start off by smashing up graham cracker crumbs until they are nice and fine. Add half a stick up melted butter and a dash of cinnamon and brown sugar. Mix well until the graham crackers are all moist. Push down into a glass pan to create a crust. Place in the oven at 350 degrees to crisp up.
While the crust is baking add a couple handfuls of sliced frozen apples into a bull. Add the remaining stick of melted butter, lots of cinnamon and brown sugar for sweetness. Stir in oats and graham cracker crumbs. Add the filling to the pan and top with more cinnamon and graham crackers and bake for 35 minutes.
After letting it cool for 10 minutes, cut into squares and top with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.
You will definitely go back for seconds!
The Best Things In Life
My love for cars came to me while playing with toy cars as a young boy, racing them through imaginary race tracks up and down the stairs. As I got older my interest for cars grew. My father started teaching my older brother and me how to change the oil on the family suburban as well as how to change the brakes and how to keep all the oil reservoir's topped off. It was a wonderful learning experience that has stuck with me to this day. The fun really began when my older brother bought his first car! We did all the maintenances on it together and fixed it up real nicely.
Rims, lowering kit, intake and exhaust were all the things that were purchased and installed by us to make the car look nicer and drive a lot faster.
A couple years later and I was able to purchase my own car. I bought a 2003 Acura RSX Type-S. It only had 14,000 miles on it and I knew I bought it for a steal! I immediately started modifying the car the way I wanted it to look like with new rims and tires. I later installed a lowering kit to fill in the gap between my tire and the wheel well. My car looked and sounded just like I had wanted it too.
Then came the day when my heart broke…
My car was a sports car, manual 6 speed transmission. Like the typical 18 year old guy, I had a heavy foot and liked the adrenaline rush. I was driving along one day when I heard a big clunk noise and all of a sudden the car wouldn't go anywhere. I was devastated, my transmission had blown and the clutch was burned. I pulled the motor out and had the transmission rebuilt. After reinstalling the motor it was like a new car again and I was able to get back in the driver seat and cruise down the road.
How to get around
There once was a time when vehicles did not exist. All they had were carts and horses to transport things around. When I was young we had these carts called "guillain". This was the only form of transportation, just a horse, a wagon made of wood, one axle, the driver and any supplies he needed to carry on the back. These horses and wagons were responsible for transporting supplies, food and people. I have some wonderful memories riding around in the guillain, but it also makes me appreciate the advancement of technology. Working at a winery, it is much easier to get around from vineyard to vineyard with a car or truck as opposed to a horse and buggy. Those were some great memories, but I am happy to be back in Napa with my truck!
Vehicles and wine, oh the similarities
I am not a car person.
I had my moment when I turned 16, I wanted the cool car to bring to school everyday...then I got my license. And from that point forward I did not care what car I would be driving, I just wanted to DRIVE.
I cannot get under the hood and tell you the difference of a gasket and a piston head, and up until last year I could not even change my own oil. But I will say that I have gotten great VALUE out of my car. As of this morning I had over 207,000 miles on my car. I received it with close to 80,000 but I still have put my miles on that beautiful car.
I was trying to think about a relation between vehicles and wine, and I came up with this one. Like cars, wine is made to be used, or rather wine is made to be enjoyed. In my mind there is little point to a car that sits and collects dust, just like wine. Traditionally wine is 'made to be aged', I would argue with current winemaking styles and techniques the wines are just as great if not better when they are enjoyed at time of release. With proper decanting young wines are fabulous and full of life, aging adds a variability that not even the winemaker can dictate.
So in reality, the winemaker's true interpretation of the wine is when it is released, it is their seal on the wine that it is ready for consumption.
This is not to say that I do not have bottles in my cellar that I am laying down and am intrigued about how they will age, but for the most part, like a good car, the value is in using the product.
|My final words are this, there are wines that are fun to age, but NEVER be afraid to open a good bottle of wine… go to your cellar, find that bottle of wine you are 'aging' and open it up, I promise you will not regret it!
It's What You Know
Growing up in a household of girls there wasn't much discussion about cars. My memories are of my mom driving a Volvo station wagon and then later a Suburban, since it was the only vehicle that seemed to hold us kids, our dog and all our stuff. My father who loves cars had to be practical, waiting patiently until we are all out of the house and on our own before being able to splurge a bit. While he has not yet gotten the car of his dreams, he continues his search and is hopeful that the day will come soon.
As I have gotten older I still don't know much about cars. However, I realized there are some correlations between cars to wine and I would like to share what I have learned with you to make your experience more enjoyable. Namely:
1. Care about Appearance
The first thing people see is the exterior of the car, so keep it clean! My father always says, "Elizabeth, humor me and wash your car." I do this because when the car looks good, I look good driving it.
When it comes to wine, appearance is just as important. Not only do you want the bottle and label to look good, but also the color itself is very important. We first experience wine though its color and appearance. You can lean a lot about a wine just by looking at the glass. The color of wine comes from its contact with the skins after the grapes have been pressed. The longer the juice sits with the skins the more texture, color and flavor the wine can extract from them. Along with color, the skin also gives the wine tannin, a characteristic that adds a deeper complexity to the wine.
My dad likes cars in dark colors because he thinks they have more personality. The same can be said for wine. The darker the shade, the more likely it is to have a richer, bolder, full-body mouth feel. It can also mean the wine has been aged in oak longer which also conveys stronger flavors and textures within the wine.
When it comes to the age the white wines tend to go darker, while the reds tend to get lighter. A wine's age can also be seen in the rim variation. In older wines you should notice the gradations of color in the glass. The wine at the center of the glass is much deeper in color than the wine at the rim. Just a small tip, older red wines display a greater variation in color.
2. Maintain Your Balance
Nothing scares someone more than a car that shakes. Often times it can be because the tires aren't maintained, low pressure, balding, or out of balance – issues when taken care of will ensure the car rides smoothly.
I also look for balance in wine. Balance in wine usually refers to the harmony between two or more of the wines elements. The most popular are the balance between sugar and acidity. When the acid levels are higher the wine is sharp, harsh, and acidic. When the sugar levels are higher the wine becomes flabby, sugary, and flat on the palate. There is always the concern of balance between acid and tannins as well as overall balance of flavor and intensity. When you are looking for a good bottle of wine you should always look for the perfect balance that works for your taste. You traditionally want a wine that has the right amount of weight, complexity, intensity, and flavor. So remember it is important to maintain your balance.
3. The more you take care of it the longer it lasts
It is very important to get your car serviced regularly, and to change its oil. Again quoting my dad, "the better you take care of your car, the longer it will last".
This holds true for wine, if you are planning to hold onto a bottle of wine for a while it is important to take care of it. Heat is a silent killer of fine wine. Make sure to store your wine in a properly temperature-controlled space. Also remember, especially during the summer, that wine and a "hot" car does not mix.
4. Look for a Good Value
Everyone loves a good value, so do your research and look for something you know you'll love. However, realize that much like cars, there is a value difference in wine regarding luxury and quality. All wines are not created equal, same as cars. The quality of the raw ingredients and the personal attention that goes into developing a good wine can be compared to the quality, style and high performance of a luxury car. Whether you're shopping for cars, or wine, remember that if it's value you seek, be sure to consider more than just price. Also, look for other features such as appearance, balance, and the tender loving care that goes into making the product.
For the Love of BBQ
My love for Barbequing on the grill came to me as a young kid. My dad would come home from work on Friday afternoons, my mother would have all the meat prepped with seasoning ready to be placed on the grill. We always had other side dishes such as frijoiles fritos (Refried beans), arroz de jitomate (tomato flavored rice), and a nice mix of seasoned veggies.
The real love of barbeque came to me as I became older when we grilled steak, seasoned and marinated a couple hours with some Pinot Noir. Flavors and aromas of the wine, a tender fully flavored, medium grilled steak is unbeatable served with your favorite sides especially accompanied with a great glass of wine.
Mid-Week Specialty.. Flavors of Chef Ricardo Herrera
Para que toda reunión de día o de fin de semana si estoy teniendo un sándwich de pollo, una ensalada o una de mi auténtica comida casera yo diría que un plato principal sería una buena carne asada con sus cebollas a la parrilla y una gran salsa hecha.
En un molcajete, es una roca sólida con un tamaño plato tazón tallada en el medio de la roca que permite moler todo el tomate, chile y otras cosas que lo hacen mejor y no hay que dejar de lado los granos frescos y el arroz.
El sabor único de la salsa molcajete es lo que hace la diferencia para esa comida que todos buscamos, y por favor, no dejemos un lado una buena copa de un vino tinto preferiblemente un Cabernet Sauvignon.
They thought I would never grow up… Flavors of a Picky eater
Growing up I didn't see anything wrong with my eating habits. Meat was a mainstay, plenty of garlic bread loaded with extra butter, and if I was feeling daring I qualified mashed potatoes as my veggie intake for the week. I was 13 and I found my love for simplicity to be normal, a burger had meat and cheese only, not to be watered down with any sort of lettuce or tomato, in my eyes that only took away from the greasy mess of a double double from In- N- Out burger. My dad jokingly said that we ate prison food… I didn't find his jokes to be very funny.
As I prepared myself for my college days, my parents were certain that the pure humiliation of not eating salads, or any form of vegetables would get the best of me and I would have to convert in front of my peers. They were wrong. College brought on more of the same simple meals. I mastered the grilled cheese with a side of bacon, my taste buds were not shaping up the way my parents had hoped.
But finally, the day came! I am not sure if it was my taste buds that changed or just the willingness to try new things that changed, but finally I converted to the good side, the healthy side.
Living in the mecca of great food has been a catalyst to this sudden change of heart. I am fortunate enough to dine at some of the best restaurants in the world. The chefs are meticulous about the flavors that are going into each and every bite. A small turnip on top of your appetizer is not just for looks, but rather it is for a touch of bitterness to tone down the sweetness of a flavorful bite.
It has been an amazing transition for me, going from steak and potatoes every night to exploring menus across all foods and preparations. The flavors of the world truly intrigue me. As I mentioned, I am blessed to live in an area that allows such treats, but it has also transitioned over into the kitchen. My love for flavors has turned me into the best chef in the family. I love to explore different preparations and styles of food. I went from bread in every meal to a diet that tries to keep bread away as much as possible and make sure that there is at least one helping of veggies for every meal.
I have come along way, and at times I think my parents thought I was doomed for life, but at the age of 26 I can say that my dietary needs are no longer picky, and in fact they are quite the opposite. So to all the parents that are wondering if their 18-year-old son or daughter will ever shy away from mac and cheese and PB&J, the answer is no, but there is hope that there will be other parts of the food pyramid that are incorporated into the diet, as I am living proof.
Taste This!
Have you ever wondered what your personal taste profile might be if you were raised in a different culture? I know my palate has been shaped by a lifetime of Northern California food choices. We have it all, in the Bay Area. But I also know that my palate was formed by simple ingredients. My family kept to the basics with plenty of fresh picked produce, fresh baked bread (yes, my mom fully embraced the country lifestyle), locally raised meat (Sonoma thrives with options), dairy and the American pantry staple: Lawry's Seasoned Salt. My palate still cannot embrace hot, spicy peppers despite years of exposure while really pungent cheese is a struggle and odd animal parts don't beckon!
I didn't really think about how my upbringing and exposure to my personal ingredient list influenced my wine vocabulary, until I went to China. My primary task was hosting guests in our Shanghai Tasting Room or students at one of the local universities for wine education. I set up the tastings as one might expect: three wines, white, medium body red, heavy red. I had my back pocket list of adjectives, the ones that come naturally to me from time spent in vegetable gardens, farmers' markets and years of outdoor adventure. So, to my surprise, when I encouraged the guests to find the aroma of grapefruit pith or the flavor of blackberries, I was met with some blank stares.
Jeannie Cho Lee is a Master of Wine, and she put together a great reference table. This quickly helped me better understand the natural starting point, for my guests. When I would think strawberries, I would say dried wolfberries. The barriers came down, quickly!
Wine vocabulary is food vocabulary. If you are well traveled, and have eaten around the globe, you will have a much better chance of pinpointing that exact aroma or flavor. Maybe it was some exotic spice eaten on the streets of Bombay or a fragrant soufflé from a back alley in Paris. Or, maybe it is your grandfather's smoky thick bbq sauce or mom's summer apple pie. Whatever your food heritage, I guarantee it's your wine vocabulary, too!

"It wasn't what they did, it was how they did it. They executed very well. And we didn't execute on defense. They blocked us fairly efficiently, and we didn't make plays when we had a chance. It was just a very poor performance from our defensive team. We're going to break it down and look at it every way we possibly can and learn from it and teach from it and then move forward and hope it is just one game."
"We didn't execute they way we had been preparing to. Basketball is about effort and execution. The effort was there at times, the execution wasn't. I just felt like we were playing not to lose instead of playing to win. We didn't stick to our game plan. We didn't play like we practiced the last week."

Alexander soon again devoted himself exclusively to science, and a year rarely elapsed in which he did not cast a fertile glance into the kingdoms of nature, or did not discover some new treasure for science. Of his brother's manuscripts, he made his extensive re- searches on the Kawi4anguage into a subject for his o\Vn labours, for he had himself collected the materials for it, and its publication was therefore especially interesting for him. He lived on, working, and pro- ducing labours even in others, who often took a thought or single fact from Humboldt, developed it, and were led by it to important results. His Asiatic works occupied the principal part of his time, and necessitated an extensive correspondence with his friends in Russia and Paris; and besides this he had constantly to superintend and direct the labours which others devoted to his purposes. Besides this, lie was employed in the continuation of formerly-commenced works, and with his "Critical Investigations/'! In 1838 he published a politico- economical essay on the variations in the supply of * One passage of this letter says : ee I am. in the deepest grief, and &t such timea one thinks of those dearest to us, I feel a little re- lieved while writing to you. .% I remain quite desolate. I Ixope that I shall have the pleasure of being with you this year. . ." *f These critical investigations on the historical development of a geographical knowledge of the new world, and the progress of nauti- cal astronomy in the fifteenth and sixteenth century, appeared originally in French, and were published in German, by J. L. Ideler. They contain tho most important results of Humboldt's leisure hours during thirty years, and are the foundations of a history of Columbus, which he once intended to write. The work is in four divisions : the first treats of the causes wHefo prepared and led to the discovery of the new world�the second., of several facts more nearly relating to Christopher Columbus, and to Amorigo "Vespucci, and of the dates of several geographic discoveries ��the third, of the first maps of the new world, and of tlie time when the namo America was first commonly used�and the fourth, of the progrcBH of nautical astronomy and chart drawing in the fif- teenth and sixteenth centuries.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vince Hess from Most comfortable I have ever owned My wife was actually looking for a pair of western boots while in Pingeon Forge, TN. She drug me along and I am glad she did. I spent 21Years in theUSAFplus am goingontenas a Harley rider.These bootsare most comfortable I have ever owned. My two pairs of Harley boots are collecting dust in the closet. I had never heard of Ariat prior to this purchase. When I tell my fellow bikers and friends how comfortable these are. They ask me for the brand then all comment that Ariats are known for their comfort. Great boots, I will probably buy another pait so I don't wear these out to quickly!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Michael from Unhappy I bought these boots because the last pair I bought was way to tight. The guy just told me that they would stretch outin about a month. Itsbeen almost2 years andthey still hurt my feet every time I wear them,which is almost every day. So, I decided to buy a new pair in the wide width. After saving and saving I find that its to wide and now my new boots, just stay in my closet. I called customer service, but was unhappy to hear of the entire hassle that I had to go through just to see if there was even a better width for me. Depressed and sorry I saved up my hard earned money for something that I cant even wear. $$$ out the window.

I have been through my share of boots from USMC combat and jungle/desert boots to logging/firefighting boots. I have never owned a pair of boots that feel like sneakers yet are tough as nails. I work In the construction and live on a working ranch. I put these boots on at 0430 and don't take them off until 1900 everyday.

Post-Avengers, Joss Whedon wanted to do something small, and so he got his friends together and filmed an adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It's been playing festivals, and it will be at SXSW this week, but it won't hit theaters until June 21 in a limited release. But now there's a trailer.
It seems unlikely that Whedon will bring in Marvel fans along with him for his black and white take on Shakespeare, but that's not the only cult Whedon has sway over. There's also his Browncoats – those obsessed with the television series Firefly, and those who loved his Buffy the Vampire Slayer and spin-off Angel. And he peppers the cast with some familiar faces from his past work like The Avengers (Clark Gregg) and those previous shows, like Nathan Fillion, Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof. As we said, he made it with his friends. Here's that trailer:
Much Ado About Nothing played at the Toronto International Film Festival, so we've heard early word that Whedon does a good job adapting the bard, even if it does feel like a minor film he did for fun (he shot it at his house, so it's likely to feel cozy). But we look forward to seeing the film this summer.
Will you watch anything Joss Whedon does?

Children's Literature - Meredith KigerGeorge has given the young bear Bartholomew a little black kitten. He impresses upon him that he must be gentle to the kitten. Bartholomew isn't sure what gentle means, but through a series of experiences George reinforces the concept of gentleness and its rewards.
Be Gentle!by Virginia Miller
Virginia Miller wrote and illustrated her first George and Bartholomew story after observing a toddler's frustration with potty training. The result was On Your Potty! , soon followed by Eat Your Dinner! and Go To Bed! All are, as Kirkus Reviews declares, "just right for two- year-olds like Ba"

Editorial Reviews
School Library Journal - School Library JournalPreS-KWith simplicity and style, Miller once again takes a matter of significance to both children and adults and gives it universal voice. George gives Bartholomew a little black kitten, telling him to "be gentle because she's only little." Being only little himself, the young bear plays with the animal as he sees fit; pushing her on a swing, bumping her along in a wagon, playing tricks on her with a garden hose, and banging a drum to cheer her up. George admonishes him repeatedly until the kitten finally runs away. After searching fruitlessly, a sad Bartholomew goes to hide in his special place where he finds his pet. He's now very gentle and the kitten purrs; a satisfying ending. As in her other books about these bears, Miller captures the mood of the characters with minimal lines. The clarity of the illustrations in both their emotional and visual content matches the text to a tee and makes this book highly suitable for group storytelling. Listeners will delight in this story and will surely ask to hear it again and again.Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI
Kirkus ReviewsGeorge, the big bear, and Bartholomew ("Ba"), the very little bear, return for another growing-up lesson (Go to Bed!, 1993, etc.), this time about how to treat a pet. Cautioned to be gentle with his new kitten, Ba gives her a squashing hug, wild rides on his swing and in his wagon, and a squirt with the garden hose. An ear-splitting drum serenade is too much, and the kitten runs away. Ba is "sad and sorry" and creeps away to his secret hiding place under his bed, where he finds the kitten. Having learned his lesson, Ba is ready now to be very gentle indeed, and the kitten sits on his lap and purrs. It's an endearing story, just right for toddlers struggling to tame their exuberance and to recognize the needs of those who are even smaller than they are. The facial expressions and body language of the kitten are priceless, and clear enough to help children recognize the wordless ways in which animals communicate. Six vignettes across the title spread show ways for Ba to play happily with his kitten. This book should have a long and happy life in veterinary offices, pet shops, and animal shelters, as well as in the usual outlets.

Bootswatch and Gulp as a Stepping Stone for Your Theme Switch Feature
Bootswatch has awesome themes which are built on top of Bootstrap. To integrate those themes to your web application, you have a few options. One of them is to build the css file by combining bootstrap.less file with the less files provided by bootswatch. This is the way I chose to go with. However, what I actually wanted was a little bit more complex:
- Install bootswatch with bower and have every theme available for me to use.
- Compile each bootswtch theme to CSS.
- Concatenate and minify each generated bootstrap file with my other CSS files and have separate single CSS file available for me for each theme.
With this way, switching between themes would be just as easy as changing the filename suffix. I achieved this with gulp and you can find the sample in my GitHub account: gulp-bootswatch-sample. To get the sample up and running, run the following commands in order:
// install bower globally if you don't have it already npm install bower -g // install gulp globally if you don't have it already npm install gulp -g // navigate to my sample projects root folder and run the following commands npm install bower install // finally run gulp the tasks gulp
Here is how my gulpfile.js file looks like:
var gulp = require('gulp'), minifycss = require('gulp-minify-css'), concat = require('gulp-concat'), less = require('gulp-less'), gulpif = require('gulp-if'), order = require('gulp-order'), gutil = require('gulp-util'), rename = require('gulp-rename'), foreach = require('gulp-foreach'), debug = require('gulp-debug'), path =require('path'), merge = require('merge-stream'), del = require('del'); gulp.task('default', ['clean'], function() { gulp.start('fonts', 'styles'); }); gulp.task('clean', function(cb) { del(['assets/css', 'assets/js', 'assets/less', 'assets/img', 'assets/fonts'], cb) }); gulp.task('fonts', function() { var fileList = [ 'bower_components/bootstrap/dist/fonts/*', 'bower_components/fontawesome/fonts/*' ]; return gulp.src(fileList) .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/fonts')); }); gulp.task('styles', function() { var baseContent = '@import "bower_components/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less";@import "bower_components/bootswatch/$theme$/variables.less";@import "bower_components/bootswatch/$theme$/bootswatch.less";@import "bower_components/bootstrap/less/utilities.less";'; var isBootswatchFile = function(file) { var suffix = 'bootswatch.less'; return file.path.indexOf(suffix, file.path.length - suffix.length) !== -1; } var isBootstrapFile = function(file) { var suffix = 'bootstrap-', fileName = path.basename(file.path); return fileName.indexOf(suffix) == 0; } var fileList = [ 'client/less/main.less', 'bower_components/bootswatch/**/bootswatch.less', 'bower_components/fontawesome/css/font-awesome.css' ]; return gulp.src(fileList) .pipe(gulpif(isBootswatchFile, foreach(function(stream, file) { var themeName = path.basename(path.dirname(file.path)), content = replaceAll(baseContent, '$theme$', themeName), file = string_src('bootstrap-' + themeName + '.less', content); return file; }))) .pipe(less()) .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css')) .pipe(gulpif(isBootstrapFile, foreach(function(stream, file) { var fileName = path.basename(file.path), themeName = fileName.substring(fileName.indexOf('-') + 1, fileName.indexOf('.')); return merge(stream, gulp.src(['assets/css/font-awesome.css', 'assets/css/main.css'])) .pipe(concat('style-' + themeName + ".css")) .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css')) .pipe(rename({suffix: '.min'})) .pipe(minifycss()) .pipe(gulp.dest('assets/css')); }))) }); function escapeRegExp(string) { return string.replace(/([.*+?^=!:${}()|\[\]\/\\])/g, "\\$1"); } function replaceAll(string, find, replace) { return string.replace(new RegExp(escapeRegExp(find), 'g'), replace); } function string_src(filename, string) { var src = require('stream').Readable({ objectMode: true }) src._read = function () { this.push(new gutil.File({ cwd: "", base: "", path: filename, contents: new Buffer(string) })) this.push(null) } return src }
End result :)
I wished I had something like this when I started doing this so I hope this was helpful to you somehow. Enjoy!
Building and Running Your ASP.NET vNext Application with Gulp
I love gulp! It has been only a few weeks since I started getting my hands dirty with gulp but it's ridiculously simple and good. I am actually using gulp with one of my ASP.NET vNext applications to see how they fit together. I am compiling my less files, doing concatenation and minification for scripts/styles files with gulp. It's also extremely comforting that gulp has file watch capability. For example, I can change my less files during the development and they are being recompiled as I save them:
As I am working with my ASP.NET vNext application in this project, I found myself jumping between command prompt windows. I imagined for a second that it would be cool to have a gulp plugin for ASP.NET vNext to build and run the application. It would also take advantage of k --watch so that it would restart the host when any code files are changed. Then, I started digging into it and finally, I managed to get gulp-aspnet-k (ASP.NET vNext Gulp Plugin) out :) gulp-aspnet-k is also available on npm and you can install it right from there. Check out the readme for further info about its usage.
This is an insanely simple plugin which wraps kpm and k commands for you. In its simplest form, its usage is as below:
var gulp = require('gulp'), aspnetk = require("gulp-aspnet-k"); gulp.task('default', function(cb) { return gulp.start('aspnet-run'); }); gulp.task('aspnet-run', aspnetk());
You can find a sample application that uses gulp-aspnet-k plugin in my ASP.NET vNext samples repository: GulpSample. It is also working with gulp watch in peace.
Be sure to watch the following short video of mine to see this tiny plugin in action.
ASP.NET vNext with Gulp from Tugberk Ugurlu on Vimeo.
Keep in mind that, currently, this only works on windows :s Also remember that little things matter in your daily life and this thing is one of them :)
Exciting Things About ASP.NET vNext Series: MVC View Components
Web development experience with .NET has never seen a drastic change like this since its birth day. Yes, I'm talking about ASP.NET vNext :) I have been putting my toes into this water for a while now and a few days ago, I started a new blog post series about ASP.NET vNext (with hopes that I will continue this time :)). To be more specific, I'm planning on writing about the things I am actually excited about this new cloud optimized (TM) runtime. Those things could be anything which will come from ASP.NET GitHub account: things I like about the development process, Visual Studio tooling experience for ASP.NET vNext, bowels of this new runtime, tiny little things about the frameworks like MVC, Identity, Entity Framework.
Today, I would like to talk about something which is MVC specific and takes one of our pains away: view components :)
BIG ASS CAUTION! At the time of this writing, I am using KRE 1.0.0-beta1-10494 version. As things are moving really fast in this new world, it's very likely that the things explained here will have been changed as you read this post. So, be aware of this and try to explore the things that are changed to figure out what are the corresponding new things.
Also, inside this post I am referencing a lot of things from ASP.NET GitHub repositories. In order to be sure that the links won't break in the future, I'm actually referring them by getting permanent links to the files on GitHub. So, these links are actually referring the files from the latest commit at the time of this writing and they have a potential to be changed, too. Read the "Getting permanent links to files" post to figure what this actually is.
Do you remember ugly, nasty child actions in ASP.NET MVC? I bet you do. Child actions were pain because it's something so weird that nobody understood at the first glance. They were sitting inside the controller as an action (hence the name) and can be invoked from the view like below:

 @Html.Action("widget")

In MVC, if your HTTP request reaches that view and starts rendering, it means (most of the time with the default flow at least) that you already have gone through a controller and an action. Now, we are also invoking a child action here and this basically means that we will go through the pipeline again to pick the necessary controller and action. So, you can no longer tell that only HTTP requests will hit your controller because the child actions are not HTTP requests. They are basically method calls to your action. Not to mention the lack of asynchronous processing support inside the child actions. I'm guessing that a lot of people have seen a deadlock while blocking an asynchronous call inside a child action. In a nutshell, child actions are cumbersome to me.
View Components in ASP.NET vNext
In ASP.NET vNext, all of the ugly behaviors of child actions are gone. To be more accurate, child actions are gone :) Instead, we have something called view components which allows you to render a view and it can be called inside a view. It has the same features of child actions without all the ugliness.
Let me walk you though a scenario where view components might be useful to you. In my website, you can see that I'm listing links to my external profiles at the right side.
Possibly, the links are stored in my database and I'm retrieving them by performing an I/O operation. Also, I am viewing these links in all my pages at the right side. This's a perfect candidate for a view component where you would implement your links retrieval and display logic once (separately), and use it whenever you need it. At its core, your view component is nothing but a class which is derived from the ViewComponent base class. It has a few helper methods on itself like View, Content and Json methods. However, you are not restricted to this. Thanks to new great DI system in K Runtime, we can pass dependencies into view components as well. Let's build this up.
First of all, I have the following manager class which is responsible for retrieving the profile link list. For the demo purposes, it gets the list from an in-memory collection:
public interface IProfileLinkManager { Task<IEnumerable<ProfileLink>> GetAllAsync(); } public class ProfileLinkManager : IProfileLinkManager { private static readonly IEnumerable<ProfileLink> _profileLinks = new List<ProfileLink> { new ProfileLink { Name = "Twitter", Url = "http://twitter.com/tourismgeek", FaName = "twitter" }, new ProfileLink { Name = "linkedIn", Url = "http://www.linkedin.com/in/tugberk", FaName = "linkedin" }, new ProfileLink { Name = "GitHub", Url = "http://github.com/tugberkugurlu", FaName = "github" }, new ProfileLink { Name = "Stackoverflow", Url = "http://stackoverflow.com/users/463785/tugberk", FaName = "stack-exchange" } }; public Task<IEnumerable<ProfileLink>> GetAllAsync() { return Task.FromResult<IEnumerable<ProfileLink>>(_profileLinks); } } public class ProfileLink { public string Name { get; set; } public string Url { get; set; } public string FaName { get; set; } }
Inside the Startup.cs file, we need to register the implementation of IProfileLinkManager:
app.UseServices(services => { services.AddMvc(); services.AddScoped<IProfileLinkManager, ProfileLinkManager>(); });
View Components and How They Work
We can now create our view component which has a dependency on ProfileLinkManager:
public class ProfileLinksViewComponent : ViewComponent { private readonly IProfileLinkManager _profileLinkManager; public ProfileLinksViewComponent(IProfileLinkManager profileLinkManager) { if (profileLinkManager == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("profileLinkManager"); } _profileLinkManager = profileLinkManager; } public async Task<IViewComponentResult> InvokeAsync() { var profileLinks = await _profileLinkManager.GetAllAsync(); return View(profileLinks); } }
There are couple of things to highlight here. Let's start with the name of the view component which is very important as we need to know its name so that we can refer to it when we need to process it. The name of the view component can be inferred in two ways:
- The name can be inferred from the name of the view component class. If the class name has a suffix as "ViewComponent", the view component name will be the class name with "ViewComponent" suffix. If it doesn't have that suffix, the class name is the view component name as is.
- You can specifically give it a name by applying the ViewComponentAttribute to the view component class and setting its Name property.
The other thing that is worth mentioning is our ability to inject dependencies into our view component. Any dependency that we have inside the request scope at the time of invocation can be injected into the view component class. Have a look at CreateComponent private method on the DefaultViewComponentInvoker (we will touch on this later) to see how the view component class is activated by default.
The last thing I want to mention is the method of the view component that will be called. By default, you can have two method names here: InvokeAsync or Invoke. As you can guess, InvokeAsync is the one you can use for any type of asynchronous processing. As these two methods are not part of the base class (ViewComponent), we can have as many parameters as we want here. Those parameters will be passed when we are actually invoking the view component inside a view and the registered IViewComponentInvoker (DefaultViewComponentInvoker by default) is responsible for calling the InvokeAsync or Invoke method (if you have both InvokeAsync and Invoke method on your view component, the InvokeAsync will be the one that's called). From the method, you can return three types (if it's InvokeAsync, the following types are for the generic parameter of the Task<T> class): IViewComponentResult, string and HtmlString. As you can see, I am using the View method of the ViewComponent base class above which returns IViewComponentResult.
Using the View Components
We covered most of things that we need to know about view components except for how we can actually use them. Using a view component is actually very similar to how we used child actions. We need to work with the Component property inside the view (which is an implementation of IViewComponentHelper). There are a few methods for IViewComponentHelper that we can call. You can see below that I am calling the InvokeAsync by only passing the component name.

 Main section...

 @await Component.InvokeAsync("ProfileLinks")

And yes, you can await inside the razor view itself :)
InvokeAsync method here also accepts "params object[]" as its second parameter and you can pass the view component parameters there (if there are any). Let's run the application and see what we are getting:
To be able to see this rich error message, you need to pull down the Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics package and activate the diagnostic page for your application as I did. Unlike the old ASP.NET world, we don't get any special feature for free in this world. Remember, pay-for-play model :)
We got an error which is expected:
An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.
InvalidOperationException: The view 'Components/ProfileLinks/Default' was not found. The following locations were searched: /Views/Home/Components/ProfileLinks/Default.cshtml /Views/Shared/Components/ProfileLinks/Default.cshtml.
Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.ViewViewComponentResult.FindView(ActionContext context, String viewName)
This's actually very good that we are getting this error message because it explains what we need to do next. As we didn't pass any view name, the Default.cshtml the view file is the one our component is looking for. The location of the view needs to be either under the controller that we now rendering (which is Views/Home/ProfileLinks) or the Shared folder (which is Views/Shared/ProfileLinks). Let's put the view under the Views/Shared/Components/ProfileLinks directory:
@using ViewComponentSample @model IEnumerable<ProfileLink>
 @foreach(ProfileLink profileLink in Model) {

 }

When we now run the application, we should see that the component is rendered successfully:
Nice and shiny! You can find the sample I have gone through here inside the ASP.NET vNext samples repository: ViewComponentSample.
Debugging ASP.NET vNext Beta Builds with Visual Studio 14 CTP 3
Today, I was working on a sample project with ASP.NET vNext. I have been working on this application without any Visual Studio IDE support but I decided to discover what Visual Studio 14 CTP 3 is bring to the table. I know that Visual Studio CTP 3 has launched a while back and I was expecting to have trouble working with ASP.NET vNext beta builds (hot from the developer machine. Find them here). I was partially right. I wasn't able to run the web application from Visual Studio. However, it's still possible to debug the application and I have a workaround for you :)
As I was thinking from the very beginning that I would have trouble with VS 14 CTP 3 + vNext beta builds, I started setting up my environment from the command line instead of letting the VS handle this.
However, Visual Studio still insisted on installing the Aplha3 builds of the K Runtime but anyways. That's not big of a deal as long as I have the beta one as the active runtime. When I open up the solution, everything looked OK. Even the package restore was successful.
The build was also working. Awesome!
So, it was all going great till I realized that I was building with the OutputType set to "Class Library".
As soon as I changed it to Web Application, the build broke:
This is OK and expected as things have changed since Visual Studio 14 CTP 3 shipped. However, I'm unable to debug my application now. Hmm, not entirely. There are still options and I went with the easier one. I switched back to command line and ran the application from there with "k web" command:
All good as you can see. Now, back to Visual Studio and press CTRL + ALT + P to bring up the Attach Process dialog box. We are looking for klr.exe to attach but you will probably see two instances of klr there. We need the one that actually hosts our application. You can find out which one is the actual host by looking at the command line arguments from the Task Manager.
In my case, it's with the PID 1472. Finally, attach the process and you should be able to debug the application now.
Enjoy ;)

Gelyelloida, a new order of stygobiont copepods from European karstic systems

A new order, Gelyelloida, is proposed for Gelyella Rouch & Lescher-Moutoué, 1977 (ex Harpacticoida), an enigmatic genus of freshwater-inhabiting copepod from European karstic systems. The new order is characterized by a unique combination of generalised gnathostomous mouth parts and unusual derived features, some of them suggesting a possible neotenic origin for the order. It is suggested that gelyellids have had a long evolutionary history and separated as an early offshoot of the main cyclopoid lineage.

Taurine is found naturally in meat, fish and breast milk, and it's commonly available as a dietary supplement. Some studies suggest that taurine supplementation may improve athletic performance, which may explain why taurine is used in many energy drinks.

Football camp 2013 under new Coach Mike MacIntyre comes to an end here today at the University of Colorado.
The Buffs will wrap up its first fall camp in the MacIntyre's era with a Mock Game Saturday morning before taking Sunday off and reporting back to the practice field Monday morning where they will turn their focus totally towards Colorado State and the Rocky Mountain Showdown which is less than eight days a way.
MacIntyre was very pleased with his team's efforts after Friday's workout.
"I thought today was our best, sharpest, crispiest day we have had all of fall camp," MacIntyre said. "No balls on the ground, we were running around, our special teams were doing everything they were suppose to be doing, it's about time we have one of these type of practices."
While next Sunday's Rocky Mountain Showdown will be MacIntyre's first taste of the arch rival game, he has watched from a distance and has memories of some of the past shootouts and hotly contested matches.
"I have had opportunities to watch this battle from a far and I have always thought they were great games," MacIntyre said. "There have been some intense battles over the years. I have always seen this rivalry as a healthy battle, that's not always the cases in some of these match-ups."
Now being the head coach of Colorado, MacIntyre is beginning to realize the importance of the game.
"It's one of these 365 day games," MacIntyre said laughing. "It's a game that their fans think and talk about everyday of the year. It's not a big game for us, it's a huge game for our team and our fans."
After taking Sunday off, the Buffs will return to the practice fields Monday morning to begin their final preparation for their season opener. Colorado will practice throughout the season in the mornings, he feels it's a good thing for his team and coaching staff.
"It helps you get up and going in the mornings," MacIntyre said. "The weather is usually good in the mornings. It allows our players to go to classes in the afternoons fully alert and it gives them some down time in the evenings for their minds and bodies to recuperate faster."

This company is a cash making machine now after getting rid of the money losing trading unit. That 1yr Net profit amounts to 20% of the entire mkt cap.
You guys keep counting just the stock chaser's floating shares.Recalculate that number after it's diluted with the Government's 80%.And why would you think their trading unit would lose money on a 56% increase in the market over the last few months? But that's ok... Take that 1.6 Billion net, and divide it into that 180 billion they owe. Let me know how long it's going to take them to pay back the government if they use every dime of profit they make. A hundred years or so?You stock chasers tickle me to death. If you guys would just learn what you own here, you'd run so fast for the exit, the turnstile would take off like a helicopter blade.
dude, first of all it is not 160 billion but 80billion. please go and see the book value for AIG, Total assets less liabiities. AIG can easily sell some assets to repay the debts to the Government. AIG is going to do it in their own time when these assets fetch good value. AIG is going to reach $100 regardsless of the proganda against it.
Thats why you have the IPO's to speed up paying Uncle Sam.

asked May 01 at 13:14 by james nguma philip, New member

1 answer

 James, in order for us to be able to help you, you'll need to ask specific questions about specific issues of grammar and usage. For example, you could provide a sentence whose grammar and usage got flagged by the software, together with the message the software provided. If appropriate, you could also provide the broader context of the surrounding text. Then we can look at the sentence and the message, and explain what it entails.

 I should mention that we who respond to questions here on Grammarly Answers have no connection to Grammarly or its software. We are all volunteers, form all over the world; for us, this website is just a neat platform for discussing issues of English grammar and usage, provided to us all for free by the nice people of Grammarly (meaning that it is ultimately funded by paid subscribers to Grammarly software). If you have questions specifically about the Grammarly software, you'll need to direct them to Grammarly support, here.

 This is not a run-on. You have an introductory element (For many years...) and an ending appositive (...a southern city in which life revolves around the beach.).

 Disease is a result of many a thing, one of them poverty.

 Is using "them" not "it" correct?

asked Aug 08 '15 at 16:15 by user22, Contributor

3 answers

 Im not really good at this but ill try 'Disease is a result of many a thing, one of them is poverty' - In this sentence you actually talk about the 'thing' not the disease and there is no wrong. but if 'it' is used,it sounds awkward to me and 'one of it' would be stating something like 1 of 1 which is wrong while 'one of them' will be like '1 of 2(or more)'

answered Aug 09 '15 at 16:57 by Hminga Chhangte, New member

 To remove any question of correctness, you might reduce "many a thing" to "many things." I always like, too, to find a more specific word for "thing." :)

 Which sentence is correct?https://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/68615-which-sentence-is-correct/
 Which of the following sentences is correct? "Stark Industries, Inc., is the greatest company in the world." OR "Stark Industries, Inc. is the greatest company in the world."

 I'm making corrections on a client's website, and they want their name written to include the "Inc." throughout. In their logo, they use a comma before "Inc.". To that end, it's my understanding that when their full company name is in the middle of a sentence, a comma should follow the period, as I've done in the former example above. However, I'm noticing that the majority of my client's requested changes are omitting the comma. Is including that comma after the period a mere style preference, or is it incorrect when a comma comes before the "Inc".

 Possessive of Plural "s" Proper Nounhttps://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/55807-possessive-of-plural-s-proper-noun/
 In the instance where a company's name ends in a plural "s", is the correct way to make it possessive with "'s" or with just an apostrophe?

 For instance if the company name is offically "Jess Jewelers"...

 Would it be:
 Jess Jewelers's
 or Jess Jewelers'?

 And is it consistant across different stylebooks?
