Thanks to Kelvin Davies for providing the content (and pictures!) for this page.
Possibly the best place in England for photographing planes.
This airport has 2 parallel runways but the southern one operates on a part time basis, usually open from before dawn to around 10:00, although times appear to be variable with no warning.
You can access our interactive map below..
Probably the best location is the one marked "South Side spotting 1".
This is on a raised area less than 150 yards from the end of the southern runway (23L) and approximately 500 yards from the northern runway (23R).
Being raised, this spot has the advantage of putting you above the perimeter fence.
Also on the south side, there is an excellent track along the airport perimeter, although this involves a walk of around 1 mile with a couple of pretty steep climbs up and down around the River Bollin valley (splendid scenery though!)
If you walk to the spot marked "South Side spotting 2", you can sit on an elevated grass bank with a splendid view of aircraft arriving on runway 05R (easterly winds).
Parking for the southern side is on a public road. If you follow the A538 toward Wilmslow, the road takes you beneath the runways, via 2 tunnels. Immediately after the second tunnel, there is a roundabout where you take the first exit.

On the northern side of the airport, there is an excellent viewing area, marked "North Side spotting", complete with car parking, a good cafe and purpose built viewing mounds only 75 yards from the nearest taxiway.
Parking and spotting areas are marked with "North Side parking" and "North Side spotting". The drawbacks with this location are; the sun can be in your face for most of the day and the car park is not free, although they have a maximum fee of £12.
Getting there; again, follow the A538 Wilmslow road and you will see a sign for a pub named "Romper". Take that turning and at the end of the road, turn right and follow the road right into the Aviation Park. If you don't want to pay the parking fee, turn left instead of right and park somewhere on the road or even in the pub car park.

Excellent guide, we do that airport walk regularly and that going to add to our spotting, thank you.
HI, Kelvin can you tell me if there is car parking anywhere near spotting 2 south side at Manchester Airport. Any info would be gratefully received.
Bryan Crawford.
Hi Bryan,
I do wish I could remember the exact spot! Each time I go there, it takes me 2 goes to get the right place!
First one: find Lady Lane, coming from Mobberly direction. This runs up to a crash gate at the extreme western end of the runway. Just before the crash gate, there is a small road on your right.
Follow that one until you come to the next crash gate. Just before the crash gate is space for a couple of cars.
A little further along to the east there's another spot with room for a couple of cars. To get to this one, you want to go up Woodend Lane. It is easy enough to reach this road coming from either Mobberly or Morley Green. From either of these spots, there is a short track through to the bank running alongside the runway.
Number one tip: Get there early! Parking is scarce.
Thanks a lot Kelvin.
the avp is very good i go there an lot but i get the bus if you get the bus the 200 depts the airport bus st 16 mins past the hour and drops you right inside the AVP and you just walk in and its free when you walk in the 200 depts the avp at 25 mins past the hour there is an bus stop there as well at the avp and that takes you back to the airport bus st
many thanks

You could say I have garden envy. I see these massive harvest bounties each weekend at Jarboe Park in Neptune Beach. Local growers come out to sell their crisp organic fruits and magnificent veggies, making me wonder when the heck my tomatoes are going to spring up and say hello. I thought they would never bare fruit. Here's why...way back at the end of May, we purchased 4 tiny little plum tomato plants in little degradable pots. We also bought seeds of squash, zucchini and green beans. They all produced for us and are ending their cycle.
After 5 months, lots of water, cow manure and some wickedly power packed nutrients (Jungle Growth at Lowe's) and spending an hour getting the heavy plants off the ground three weekends ago, this "jungle" is starting to perk up. Last night Larry and I excitedly went out (as we do almost every night) to see if any of the heavy bulbous objects were turning from neon green to bright red. Yessss! Victory! Not to mention our green bean plants have been cranking out some beauties (see the pic?).
For dinner, we sauteed the green beans with squash and zucchini from Jarboe Park's fresh market and sliced the tomatoes, mounded them on top of our fresh romaine (also from Jarboe) and had very satisfying veggie dishes. Paired with our black-eyed peas (Jarboe again) with diced ham, garlic, onion and jasmine rice, I'd say Julia herself would have wanted to cozy up to our table. Bon Appetit!
My message: buy local, buy organic, and grow the rest yourself. I now feel guilty buying produce at Publix. The horror.

Already Tuesday and well, I have to say that the soggy weather didn't really help in getting some good shots for my food trail.
Furthermore, the Ramadhan (holy month for the Muslims) is a time for many outlets to rest. So, I think writing a food trail story would be a tough cookie to crack.
That said, I headed home early to to spend the rest of my time with my kidz. All I need to say is : "Walk! Walk!" and I can see the ears of my gurl going 'toinggggg!!!!'.
Since I don't have to work, I had the time to take my dogs out for a walk. Usually a 1.5km loop covering about 23minutes of walk time. We start from our gate, proceeding to the end of the road where an irritating Indian-Muslim bugger stays.
He occupies a corner lot and was very vocal when folks walk their dogs past his home. I think this guy is a retard. Everything about his looks says it all.
From the corner, we work our way down to the guard house. This is roughly about 650 metres.
Then, we proceed to the end of the fencing. There is a little gate that leads to the USJ 23 school.
I noticed that there was this corner house neighbour who has at least 10 dogs. Now, that's violating the local by-laws. I hope he won't get into trouble.
When I was walking the kidz past, I saw a puppy. This lil pooch is bow-legged. Musta been some bad in-breeding at hand. Poor dog.
From the corner, we worked our way back to road 2t6/1D where we live. And on the way, I went to road 26/1E to check out the 'Coney Dogs'.
No, its not the Tuesday A&W fast food specials but a pair of dogs that are perpuetually in cones.
The owner may think its cute to dress his pooches in T-shirts and cones, but I think the act is too much of an animal abuse case lah..
Oh well, all good things said and done, Tuesday is already kaputt! Tomorrow, I need to go into the office to file in my food trail story...

JACKSON — On April 8, 1999, one week before the most important day of the year for a CPA, a harried Tony Huffman got a call from his friend Ed Welsh about a business deal.
Huffman listened briefly and hung up, but he didn't forget Welsh's call. "It's not very often that something exciting comes along in the accounting business," laughs Huffman, who just a few months later joined Welsh to form Huffman & Welsh Business Solutions Inc.
The company is an accounting data center that handles all aspects of clients' daily bookkeeping duties remotely. Huffman & Welsh provides a computer, laser printer and scanner to link with the company; the client uses the equipment to scan checks and other documents and check daily balances and other figures. Scanned material, which can be anything from an invoice to a scrap of paper with a handwritten note about a deposit, is received by Huffman & Welsh and processed within 24 hours. All information is reviewed by a CPA.
Huffman & Welsh is not designed to take tax work away from CPAs, explains Welsh, but rather to free a company from the daily grind of invoices, payroll, bill paying and other necessary tasks to keep a business running.
"We're no different than having an accounting department in your office," said Welsh. "The difference is we're a whole lot cheaper."
According to Huffman and Welsh, their business does everything a bookkeeper does, but usually for one-third of what it costs to pay a bookkeeper's salary, benefits, payroll tax, etc. Their niche is companies which already have inhouse accounting departments but are experiencing turnover, and small companies that become busy enough to need an bookkeeper inhouse but are weighing the cost of hiring one. The service can also benefit an inhouse CPA by freeing up his or her time.
"This service has set me free from having to be in the office," said Ken Simmons, president of Kenneth L. Simmons & Associates and HomeWorks in Jackson. "I'm a general contractor and I need to be where customers can see me."
Huffman and Welsh use a software called The Acculink System, which they now own. The two business partners started out leasing Acculink with several other companies, but later offered to buy it when they saw the potential. As proprietary owners, they can make changes to the software and take the business a step further by putting their service on the Internet. That could introduce the business to a nationwide market — a feasible idea since all work is done remotely. They hope to have the Internet service up and running within a year.
Locally, Huffman & Welsh recently closed a major deal with AmFed Companies, LLC in Ridgeland. A fellow outsourcer, AmFed became a strategic partner with Huffman & Welsh as the exclusive Professional Employer Organization (PEO) provider of Acculink. AmFed offers a health plan, cafeteria plan, retirement plan, and workers' compensation and liability coverage, but no accounting services. Huffman & Welsh will provide that missing link, said Welsh.
AmFed executive vice president Brenda Thorton said the partnership gives AmFed clients an even bigger competitive advantage. "This exclusive arrangement will allow us to offer a complete outsourcing solution," she said. "By outsourcing their non-revenue producing tasks, companies can focus on increasing their revenues instead of administrative headaches."
Acculink handles accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and financials such as income statements and daily activity reports. Using Acculink, the Huffman & Welsh server dials into customers' computers each night and downloads all of the images that were scanned by customers that day. After the information is downloaded, it is actually processed using Solomon, an intricate and expensive accounting software that many companies would not ordinarily have the opportunity to use. "Acculink is the bridge between our clients and Solomon," said Welsh. "Most companies would not be able to run Solomon software or you'd have to hire a $60,000-a-year employee to do it."
After CPAs process the information, the updated records are sent back to the client who can then check the daily balance, see who is awaiting payment and who owes them money. Besides daily updates, the software is a virtual filing cabinet of past transactions and client addresses and phone numbers. For safekeeping, customers receive a CD/ROM of their entire year's transactions.
Clients of Huffman & Welsh have as much or as little control over their books as they choose. For example, they can reconcile their own bank statements or let Huffman & Welsh take care of it. No matter how they decide to handle the service, clients are saving time and staying ahead of the game, said Welsh.
"There are so many business owners out there who have no idea where they stand financially, how much money they have in their account or what they owe. They're getting that information 30 and 40 days later than they should but they're making business decisions today," said Welsh.

Louisiana bank failure is costliest since financial crisis
Banking regulators are seizing New Orleans-based First NBC Bank in the costliest bank failure since the financial crisis.
Louisiana regulators seized the bank Friday and handed it to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which expects to spend $1 billion to mop up the mess.
First NBC is the fourth federally insured bank to fail this year.
The FDIC is selling $1.6 billion in deposits and $1 billion in assets to Hancock Holding Co. of Gulfport, Mississippi. It will fold First NBC's 29 branches into its Whitney Bank and Hancock Bank units.
The FDIC will send $1.4 billion in checks to other depositors, and separately sell $2 billion-plus in First NBC assets. No depositors will lose money.
FDIC spokesman David Barr says only Hancock bid for First NBC, paying $35 million for deposits.

There is so much we pretend doesn't exist. Our daily ablutions for instance. We all do it, we all need to, it satisfies us and gets us ready for the day, but we never talk about it. We use euphemisms to get by (ablution for instance), or politely express the need to go around the corner. So when on my first day at Sadhana Forest, a volunteer took me to the loo for a demo, you can imagine my discomfort. I almost wanted to say that I can skip this part – I mean, I know how to do my business even if I pretend I never have to. But, I held my peace.
So why on earth did a 31-year-old need a demo on this? Allow me to explain. I was about to spend two weeks as a volunteer at Sadhana Forest – a project based in Auroville, which works towards reforestation and water conservation. And the forest was a no-frills, vegan only place with a zero waste policy.
And the demo was essential because this was no ordinary loo. It was a large enclosure made of bamboo with a thatched roof and two contraptions in the centre – one a big hole covered with a lid and second, an Indian style toilet. Other than these, there was a small vessel (soon to be labeled pee pan) with a handle, a big drum full of sawdust, another big drum with water and neem leaves and a can labeled 'pee'. All of a sudden, going to the loo felt like a task, especially considering I was to do everything and be ready for work by 6:15 am. It wasn't the kind of loo where you could doze off on the pot or admire yourself in the mirror for hours. This loo was serious business and required substantial hand – eye coordination.
Because this is how it worked – walk into the loo, fill a mug of water from the drum and place it over the lid. Then assess if you want to pee, poop or both.
- If you want to pee (and it isn't urgent) – pick up with pee pan with the handle and go for it. Once done, pour the pee in the pee can and rinse the pee pan and clean yourself up with the water you kept aside before (see how important this first step is).
- If you want to pee, and it is urgent – use the Indian style loo and wash up afterwards
- If you want to poop – lift the large lid off the floor, aim for the hole and hope for the best. Once done, sit over the Indian style loo and wash up. Then take 3 – 4 cups of sawdust and cover your poo well. Replace the lid and go on your way.
- If you want to pee & poop, get ready for some serious acrobatics here – lift the large lid off the floor, aim for the hole and place the pee pan to catch your pee. Once done follow instructions for scenarios 1 & 3.
- And for any eventful times, use sawdust and a squeegee to ensure you leave the place almost as you found it, barring, of course, your contribution.
Could there be an easier contribution or a more satisfying one? I think not.

Finally the day has come where all the Commonwealth countries come together to compete against each other. My favourite part is the fantastic opening ceremony where the crowd roars with excitement responding to the spectacular special effects and awesome dancers.

The countries that I am supporting are Samoa and New Zealand. Samoa is where I come from and New Zealand is where I'm living. I am cheering for NZ because Valerie Adams is in shot put, I know she will get a golden medal.
Paragraph 2
It was a night for record breaking, Valerie Adams first attempt was a no throw for stepping over the line. Then her final throw was 19.31m further than silver medalist and her close friend, Trinidad and Tobago's Cleo 18.57m. Canada's Julie Labonte won bronze with 17.58m.

Valerie Adams was a really great sports women. I think that in the Olympics she will be really better. She is a great role model for all of the pacific children.

President Trump signs religious liberty executive order
- Author: Sonia Alvarado May 09, 2017,
May 09, 2017, 7:57
U.S. President Donald Trump prepares to sign the Executive Order on Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty during the National Day of Prayer event at the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington D.C., U.S., May 4, 2017.
Specifically, the executive order protects religious groups from a restriction imposed by the IRS that prohibits tax-exempt organizations, like churches and other religious institutions, from political speech and involvement. The federal government, he said, will never ever penalize someone for their religious beliefs.
His words drew some skepticism and criticism in light of his ban on Muslims traveling into the United States and his insistence on building a wall along the border with Mexico.
The order also directs the Department of Justice to ensure religious protections are afforded to individuals and groups, such as Little Sisters of the Poor... Supposed leaks from within his administration showed that part of the order may still adversely affect the LGBT community.
"We'd certainly like to keep the rights that we presently have, or at least the rights that we did have up until recently when we were challenged", says The Catholic League's Bill Donahue.
Trump's language stood in contrast to certain steps his administration has taken to bar entry to citizens from some Muslim-majority nations and his campaign trail vows to stop all Muslims from entering the country.
Religious discrimination is barred by the US Constitution.
2 doctors found dead in penthouse likely knew killer
Police believe they knew the killer, who made it all the way up to their 11th floor apartment seemingly just to kill them. After law enforcement arrested Teixeira, a SWAT team surveyed the apartment to ensure that no other shooters were present.
"President Trump's executive order today seeks to allow even more employers to deny their employees this necessary health care service under the guise of their personal religious views", Adrienne Mansanares, Chief Experience Officer of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains said.
"With this executive order we are ending the attacks on your religious liberty, and we are proudly re-affirming America's leadership role as a nation that protects religious freedom for everyone", he said.
Trump's order targets the Johnson Amendment - sponsored by then-Sen.
"These are two very, very special executive orders", said Trump.
Johnnie Moore, a member of Trump's evangelical advisory board who was at the signing ceremony, said that Christian conservatives are being "unrealistic" for thinking that Trump can solve all religious liberty issues in one executive order.
"This action will jeopardize women's health, equity and economic security by instructing the Department of Health and Human Services to effectively roll back a critical provision in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that requires coverage of women's preventive health benefits", Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families, said in a statement.

text: hello local four wheelers. I became I believer of Toyota's as kid riding in my Grandad's FJ-wagon back in the seventies. I finally got my hands on a project and need advice. It's a 78' FJ-40 with a newer lift kit (springs and shackles) the body tub has had some prior work done to it as the rear floor is smooth with no corrigation and a 1x1" frame underneath. frame looks good with some minor flaking on one side. 1/4 panels are bubbling and floor at far left side has some signs of rust through. number one problem the Tub it was shot with Line X from the front doors back. Talk about a lot of stripping! front and rear bumpers are custom made and quite nice but again shot. with line X. cost of repair panels is almost to price of a new body. With out all of the welding and work. I am restoring a VW beetle currently it is taking up all of my panel repair patience. I've looked at the Alumin. tubs and they seem really nice although a little bit of cash. Shipping seems to come from the manufacturer in B.C. "aqualu" . I'm quessing that they are the only company making them as all of the vendors online show the same bodies and options. I quessing that the shipping to MD would be quite a bit??? should one order from the manufacturer or from a vender? What about the prep work for paint. I understand it is very extensive and difficult. The biggest problem I have is getting this thing on the Road. I can stave off the body until later. My engine is in peices. the head was redone by a prior owner and was done supposively with chevy valve train valves and such. there are dual valves springs on the head and it does appear to have been reworked. I also have a HEI distributor set up. What I don't have is a camshaft and all the gaskets freeze plugs and bearings. The crank should probably be turned or polished and the block was cooked but has a bit of surface rust on it now. I have several boxes of parts but don't know if I have all of the nickel and dime you to death parts. Not to mention the carb is gone. Should I rebuild this engine? or part the sucker out? I would love to go SB chevy or ford but the kits kind of put me off. the money envolved to change this and that driveshafts etc. etc. cut the floor. doesn't appeal to me. The nicest way (and what seems the easiest and most $$$) I found is to do a Ranger 2 speed unit with a small block mounting. that way I can keep my 4sp and not have to change drshfts and tranny placement. Better Still does anyone have a drop in engine? running good compression??? I would get me on the road. and save me time and money. I would love a V8. but want some good advice from some FJ people. My buddy has been into CJ's for years and has spent countless thousands on his inline six only to get fed up with it and swap in a AMC v8, He has bought and paid for a seriously built chevy and all the goodies several times over. I don't want to make the same mistake!!!! Thanks for all of your help. Kenn

Our family drove to Zimbabwe (43rd Ave and Bell Rd) to get a good deal on groceries this week. We strapped our young family in the car and drove for 30+ minutes in fierce traffic to buy some cheap cereal. And.it.was.worth.it. I am very happy to say this trip, unlike the American Discount Foods trip, was much more lucrative. We got to the brightly colored store and immediately found their toiletries section. Hallelujah! For those crazies out there like me that pay 5.00 for a bottle of hand soap because it is made with natural ingredients and biodegradable this is your Mecca. I stocked up on Nature's Gate hand soap, shampoo and conditioner at 2.99 a piece. These babies go for 5-9.00 each at Whole Foods or Sunflower. So, even if I go here just twice a year to stock up on toiletries it's worth the trip.
The grocery section wasn't as fabulous, but I still found some good deals. I purchased some minced garlic and ginger for 1.00 which usually goes for 3-5.00. Yahoo! These babies have a three month fridge life once opened. We bought a case of rice milk for 1.29 a piece, Cascadian Farm granola cereal for 1.49 which usually goes for 3.49-5.49. We bought some soy ice cream and regular ice cream; a pint for 1.50. Awesome. We bought some other staples but the prices weren't stellar. They were basically bottom sales prices at an average grocery store. The produce was not my friend. I'd rather pull from my own garden thank you very much.
I still have one more shop to visit, but in a nutshell here's my advice: Shop the ads and get the best deals at local grocery stores and visit Grocery Outlet to stock up on natural toiletries.

On the fourth day of his murder trial, Oscar Pistorius reportedly broke down as a neighbour described the moment he tried to save the athlete's mortally wounded girlfriend after a fatal shooting on Valentine's Day 2013.
Witness Johan Stipp, a doctor who lived close by, said he found the South African Paralympic star praying over the body of his girlfriend as she lay dying.
He said he saw Steenkamp, her brain tissue mixed with blood and Pistorius praying for her to live. In the trial's first account of the moments after the shooting, Stipp said he tried to revive Ms Steenkamp.
During Dr Stipp's graphic testimony, Pistorius cried and seemed to retch, the BBC reported.
"I remember the first thing he said when I got there was, 'I shot her, I thought she was a burglar and I shot her,' " Stipp told the court in Pretoria.
Stipp said he had been surprised to hear no ambulance had been called when he arrived. He left after it did.
Story continues below
Pistorius is charged with shooting Steenkamp three times out of four shots through a toilet door in his home. Prosecutors said the athlete intentionally killed Steenkamp after an argument, but Pistorius says it was a mistake and he thought she was an intruder.
Earlier, Charl Johnson – husband of the trial's first witness – was back on the stand after the defense team wanted to retrieve notes he had taken in the weeks after the shooting. Roux grilled Johnson about the notes such as "the screams did not sound like fighting but more like the panic and distress calls of being attacked."
Pistorius pleaded not guilty Monday to one charge of murder and a firearms charge associated with Steenkamp's killing as well as the two gun indictments unrelated to her death. The trial continues.

Listening to the morning broadcast earlier on I was reminded of today's significance in aeronautical history. On 2 July 1937 Amelia Earhart and her navigator disappeared somewhere over the South Pacific.
'At 10am local time, zero Greenwich time on July 2, 1937 Amelia and navigator Noonan took off. Despite favorable weather reports, they flew into overcast skies and intermittent rain showers. This made Noonan's premier method of tracking, celestial navigation, difficult.
As dawn neared, Earhart called the ITASCA, reporting "cloudy, weather cloudy." In later transmissions Earhart asked the ITASCA to take bearings on her. The ITASCA sent her a steady stream of transmissions but she could not hear them.
Her radio transmissions, irregular through most of the flight, were faint or interrupted with static. At 7:42 A.M. the Itasca picked up the message, "We must be on you, but we cannot see you. Fuel is running low. Been unable to reach you by radio. We are flying at 1,000 feet."
The ship tried to reply, but the plane seemed not to hear. At 8:45 Earhart reported, "We are running north and south." Nothing further was heard from Earhart.'
More on the Official Amelia Earhart website (here)
Amilia Earhart captured the imagination of millions of people. It is 75 years since her voice was last heard and she still inspires to this day! Her winning smile will never be forgotten!
Amelia Earhart 1897-1937

Frequently Asked Questions...Q. I don't know if I can be hypnotised?
Everybody can go into a light trance, even if we don't think we can. It's a natural human behaviour for us, and surprisingly, we all do it every day. When we are drifting to sleep, or when we day dream and 'drift off' for a few minutes. Don't worry about whether you are 'going deep' enough, all that's needed is to relax, and the guided visualisation helps you with that.
Q. How many sessions will I need?
Solution focused hypnotherapy is a 'brief' therapy so results are quicker than other therapies but there are no hard and fast rules as each case is different. It's important for results to be long lasting, and this happens with best effect on weekly sessions where we can gain some momentum and we track progress each week. Following that we can then arrange longer gaps between sessions to ensure that your treatment is continuing to be effective longer term.
Q. What happens at the initial consultation?
The initial consultation gives us the opportunity to meet for the first time and typically takes around an hour. We talk about your goals, and what you would like to achieve. I'll also ask a number of questions to guide you through. I'll explain how the brain works in straight-forward terms in relation to our work. This makes most people feel reassured of how they can regain control and get back to their real selves in a short period of time. I'll explain what typically happens during sessions and it gives you the opportunity to ask any questions before your first session. I'll also gift you with a relaxation CD to take home.
Q. Is it like stage hypnosis?
No. Clinical hypnotherapy is a professional therapy unlike TV or stage entertainment. You will be in control the whole time and you will be fully aware of everything going on. Hypnotherapy is a safe, calming, and relaxing experience. Once you trust that your therapist is a friendly experienced professional with only your best interests at heart, most people are able to relax, take some time out, and enjoy the process and the results.
Q. How do I go ahead and get started?
Simply click the 'book now' button at the top of the page to access a live calendar and book either an initial phone call, or your initial consultation, both are no charge. If you prefer you can contact me directly on 07724 855395 to discuss, if I'm not available when you call please do leave a voicemail, or text, and I will call you back as soon as possible.
Q. Where are sessions held?

The usual chart really says it all.
This was the lowest (by 2mm) rainfall we have recorded in 9 years. 107mm down on last year and 64mm below the 8 year average. Only 2 days above 5mm of rain. That counts as a dry month.
This basic theme of hot days and cool nights is carried through to the averages. With the maximum being 2 degrees above the (3 year) average .....
Looking slightly more closely at the minimums, it seems that 2014 may be the outlier with a warm value, due to the cloud of a wet months holding the warmth in.
The basic pattern is of low humidity with occasional spikes on the rainy days.
Comparing with the average the same story appears as with minimum temperatures: a lower than average value as December 2014 was pretty damp.
The default situation for wind this month seems to have been for a daily maximum gust between 15 and 20 kph.
In terms of average gust the month was windier than most months this year but less windy than the average December. Possibly the most interesting aspect of this chart is the low value of R2 for the series of 2015 readings: obviously wind has been all over the place this month.

I discovered this problem on a Thursday night; she had a farrier appointment the next day so I decided to ask the farrier for his opinion then (as any good farrier should be able to discern what is causing a horse to be lame, to a point). He initially thought that perhaps her right fore pastern or hoof was bothering her, although she was negative for pain with the sole testers.
When my farrier moved on to her hind end, Lim began giving him a lot of trouble, which is uncharacteristic for her. Nonetheless, he managed to finish trimming her hooves before asking me to walk her around for him. I walked her over asphalt, grass and the arena footing. He then concluded that her hind end was bothering her, although it wasn't exactly specific to any one spot. A vet from the clinic that I use happened to be arriving shortly and I was given permission to bump Limerick to the head of the line so she could be seen first. After a lameness exam, he determined that she had hind end lameness that was likely related to the muscles by her hips and croup.
He gave me Previcox and told me to give her one tablet a day.
In typical Thoroughbred fashion, she has bounced back very quickly! I took this video of her on Monday and I was very pleased to see her feeling well enough to act silly.
I've also been taking her down to the alleyway to eat grass every day lately. The walk down is mainly asphalt so I'm substituting these trips for her hand-walks. She likes to stop grazing and stare off into the distance, head high, at a faraway jogger or bicyclist.
|"What's that I spy, wayyy off in the distance?"
We are also treated so some spectacular sunsets from the alleyway!

Texas governor Rick Perry is scheduled to sign two bills at the Calvary Christian Academy gymnasium. The first bill will require parental permission before minors can receive an abortion. The second would amend the state Constitution to ban same-sex marriage and civil unions, pending approval from the voters.
Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, has threatened an investigation of the church's tax-exempt status. Calvary's business administrator noted the tax-exempt state will not be affected.
Kathy Walt, spokesperson for Calvary Cathedral International, said. "There are a number of critics who would object to this bill-signing whether it were in a private school, a public school or a Wal-Mart parking lot, because they are opposed to pro-life and pro-family legislative issues."
Location of Bill-Signing Is Seen as Grounds for Protest in Texas

Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: Here, cavolo nero (Tuscan kale) is blanched before it is tossed in a seasoned oil of orange zest, garlic, and red chili. It's a wonderful side dish, and you can add it to another side dish, like rosemary polenta squares, for a fulfilling meal. —Ed Smith | Rocket & Squash
Serves: 4
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
grams (about 10-oz) cavolo nero (Tuscan kale) leaves
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
red chili (like Serrano), finely diced
garlic clove, thinly sliced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
In This Recipe
- Cut out the rib from the cavolo nero leaves and discard it, leaving you with long, thin, dimpled ribbons. Fill a wide saucepan (large enough to comfortably hold the cavolo nero) with water to a depth of 4 inches, add a good pinch of salt and bring to a rapid boil. Add the cavolo nero and blanch it for 90 seconds. Drain, then plunge it into iced water or rinse it under a running cold tap. You could do this bit in advance.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest of the orange. Scrape off any white pith from the underside, then cut the fragrant zest into very thin strips. Squeeze the juice and reserve it for later.
- When you're almost ready to eat, set a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, the chilli, garlic and orange zest. Once the oil starts to bubble around the ingredients, allow them to soften and flavor the oil for 30 seconds more.
- Before the garlic starts to color and turn bitter, add the cavolo nero to the pan. The leaves may have become tangled as they drained, so you might need to separate them as you go. Move them around with tongs or a spatula and cook for a couple of minutes, during which time they will soften further and pick up the flavors in the pan. Add the orange juice, remove from the heat and transfer to a serving dish. Pour the remaining oil over the top and season with salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Mix well so there's an even distribution of aromatics. Serve immediately.

Northern Dairy Shorthorn
A hardy breed, able to survive harsh winter conditions on meagre rations, the Northern Dairy Shorthorn is the world's rarest breed of cattle. Less than 125 specimens survive today and nearly half of those reside on the Isle of Man.
In the 1950s, they were the commonest breed on the Island and widespread in Great Britain, but commerciality has brought the breed close to extinction. In 2012, six heifers – one in calf – were imported to Clypse Moar. The pregnant heifer calved at Christmas and her son was the first NDS calf born on the Isle of Man in over 50 years.
In Spring 2013, an additional 11 animals – including two young bulls – joined the small herd and they were all moved to Ballaloaghtan farm. By 2016, in collaboration with UK breeders we had grown the worldwide stocks to over 120. On our farm you can see the world's largest and most significant holding of this ultra-rare breed.
White Park cattle
White Park cattle number among the world's rarest breeds, and this herd has come to the island to form a genetic breeding stock protected by the Irish sea from the dangers of extinction should disease strike the bigger island to our east.
The animals were part of the iconic "Collegewood" herd, which was dispersed in the English midlands a few yeasr ago after the owner was forced to take his entire stock to market following expiry of an ancient farming lease. White, with black points and black tongues, the cattle are distinctive, rare and … tasty!
The breed, with wide horns and a plaintive facial expression, is known to have existed nearly 2,000 years ago from Irish sagas; they are mentioned again in Welsh legal documents dating from the 800s to 1100s.
Even at that time there was dispute as to their origin; they are popularly believed to be descended from cattle brought by the Romans to England. In the 1800s, Rev John Storer, a noted authority on cattle breeds, averred that they were directly descended from the Wild White cattle which lived wild at a time when Britain was covered with forests. A small number of them today survive in the USA and Canada, but their status is regarded as critical with less than 100 elsewhere in the world and only about 500 in the British Isles. White Parks are genetically distinct from all other British breeds, with their closest genetic relatives being Scottish breeds.
A group of Highland Cattle is not called a herd as for other cows, but a "fold." The Gaelic word, used in Scotland, is a kyloe. Highlands produce low fat meat because they rely for insulation on their hairy coats and not so much on layers of fat. They are very well adapted for life on poor ground with rough forage, enduring much rain, snow and high winds. The characteristic fringe on the face of the highland is to give protection from snow during severe weather!
Most people imagine reddish-brown cattle when thinking of Highlands. However, they do come too in black yellow, red, black and dun. Highlands are not particularly rare, but they are handsome and spectacular, and highly suited to life on our Island. They are particularly skilful in finding food where other cattle would perish, and they eat many plants and grasses which other cattle would avoid.
200 years ago, there were 20,000 purebred Shetland cattle in the islands. Move the clock forward and at one time the stocks were down to 50, thanks to cross-breeding and various practices designed to improve commercial returns. The breed was almost lost to posterity. Once again, strong work by the RBST resulted in a rescue, a herd book exists again, and today there are 500 more breeding females registered. Shetlands come in red/white and black/white varieties, and our bloodlines manifest both types.
Hill Radnor
A starter flock of this splendid breed – native to the Brecon Beacons area – was purchased at auction in mid 2012 and early 2013; nine ewes and a tup made their way over to the Isle of Man. It was initially believed that this was the first appearance of the breed on the Island, but subsequent research established that Lord Cussons, of soap fame, had a flock many years ago.
Manx Loaghtan
The iconic symbol of Manx agriculture, the Loaghtan sheep neared extinction in the 1980s, with estimates of the surviving population dropping as low as 18. Today, the species is listed as endangered in Great Britain due to the low numbers of registered breeding ewes, but they are now considered as a 'rescued' flock on the Isle of Man, as there are perhaps some 3,500 examples alive and well today, yielding delicious meat, which can be purchased in several Island butcher shops. Manx Rare Breeds are home to a small flock of between 20 and 30 Loaghtans.
Relatively small, the average weight of an adult Portland ram is 55kg, rarely exceeding 66kg and 65cm at the withers. The body of the Portland is of a primitive type within the Downs breeds, with good width between the legs. The tail is long and set well up on the rump.
The face is a tan colour, but may have lighter areas around the eyes and muzzle, with and a dark nose. Some sheep carry a light covering of wool on the forehead, but the rest of the face is free from wool. Horns are a light colour; the rams are heavily spiralled; in ewes they curve through a half circle. There is often a black line in either one or both horns.
Lambs are born with a foxy red coat, which changes in the first few months to creamy white. The wool is close and fine with a short staple, though some red kemp fibres should be found on the britch.
Boreray Sheep
Boreray Sheep have a close geographical and social link with Soay Sheep, but the two breeds are genetically different. The Boreray Sheep is a descendant of the domestic sheep which were kept by the St. Kildans.
Despite being partially derived from a long-tailed breed (the Scottish Blackface), Borerays display characteristics that group them with other northern European short-tailed sheep. They are amongst the smallest sheep in the British Isles, with mature ewes weighing 28 kg (62 lb) and standing 55 cm (22 in) at the withers. Less than 300 survive today, with about 10% of the worldwide population at Manx Rare Breeds.
SOAY Sheep
One of three "primitive" breeds nurtured at Ballaloaghtan, this sheep comes from Soay Island in the St Kilda Group off the west coast of Scotland. Soay means "Sheep Island" and the feral flock there is ancestral to a handful of exotic groups existing on the UK mainland, both in captivity and in feral state. A particularly hardy breed, it is classified as "at risk" by the RBST because only around 1,000 registered breeding ewes remain. From a produce point of view, each sheep gives only about 1 kg of fleece each year, though it is very fine and highly sought-after by weavers. The carcase is small, producing a low cholesterol meat but with a strong gamey flavour. One of many distinct characteristics of Soay is that they do not have a herding instinct, meaning that if a sheepdog attempts to control them they disperse in different directions. It is possible that the Soay has existed in more or less its present configuration for about 6 million years.
Uniquely, this breed is known for its ability to survive for most of the year eating seaweed; it has developed an ability to process the sugar in seaweed for nutritional. On the island of North Ronaldsay, north of Scotland, the islanders confine the sheep to the foreshore by a wall throughout most of the year, allowing them to the limited grazing inland only during the lambing season. It is a primitive sheep, small in stature and bred mainly for wool. North Ronnies have a vulnerability to copper traces making the Isle of Man, with its mineral deficient soil, a safe haven for them.
The largest sheep on our farm is the Oxford, an English breed dating back to the 1830s. It produces a relatively high weight of meat and an impressive quantity of wool. The RBST classifies it "at risk" with between 900 and 1500 breeding ewes remaining in existence.
Another meat-producing animal, the Norfolk Horn has an amazing history of near-extinction and a return to our world in recent history. It is tough and lightly built, and famed for its jumping (escaping) ability. By the First World War only one flock survived, and after the Second World War the remaining number fell to 10 ewes and two rams. The last pure-bred ram died in 1973, and in the mid-1980s only a concerted, dedicated effort by the RBST brought it back from Category 1 to Category 4. Today there are over 900 registered ewes and the breed has earned new fans and recognition for conservation grazing. Norfolk Horns do particularly well on wet uplands, meaning that they thrive on our marshy fields below South Barrule.
Greyface Dartmoor Sheep
Greyface Dartmoor Sheep
The name says it all and this is a moorland sheep, descended and improved from ancient types that grazed Dartmoor in ancient times. The fleece is more wavy than curly and covers the entire animal except the face. It's hardy, deals with almost all weather types outdoors, and grazes many types of pasture and vegetation.
Hebridean Sheep
Hebridean Sheep
A primitive type, the Hebridean was probably introduced into the Scottish highlands and islands by the Vikings. Its fleece is black, often jet black, and while small it is resilient, eats almost any type of vegetation, and may have a natural resistance to foot diseases. The ewes are excellent mothers though production is not prolific.
Teeswater Sheep
Teeswater Sheep
Native to the Teesdale area, County Durham, the Teeswater is a long, tall sheep. However, the most prominent feature is the fleece, which is long and curly with a topknot on the head. Well managed, a flock of Teeswaters is capable of an average of over two lambs per ewe, per year. Its fine wool is very much in demand with hand spinners, while the meat is lean and fast-growing.
Golden Guernsey
Only two breeds of goat appear on the RBST watchlist, of these, the Golden Guernsey is without doubt the most beautiful and striking animal. In mid 2013, we imported a small group of three billies and five nans, distributing them among our Island friends and carefully planning a breeding programme to avoid inbreeding, despite the low numbers.
The name says it all! The only British pig that is entirely black, and with relatively huge body size, this docile and versatile animal was popular a hundred years ago but narrowly avoided extinction in the 1960s. The breed is still considered vulnerable by the RBST, Category 3 with 200 to 300 breeding sows remaining in existence. Females generally produce large litters of piglets. The Large Black is also known as the Cornwall Black, or the Devon Pig, giving a clue to its origins, though historically there was probably much breeding with smaller black pigs from the South East of England.
The large black is best suited for extensive farming as opposed to intensive indoor work, which is the reason for its decline. It produces tasty bacon without excessive back fat, so is popular with connoisseurs of pork products. Unlike white pigs, blacks are not vulnerable to sunburn, though that is hardly a high risk on our rainy, overcast island!

Abstract : Laser capture microdissection LCM facilitates the isolation of individual cells from tissue sections, and when combined with RNA amplification techniques, it is an extremely powerful tool for examining genome-wide expression profiles in specific cell-types. LCM has been widely used to address various biological questions in both animal and plant systems, however, no attempt has been made so far to transfer LCM technology to macroalgae. Macroalgae are a collection of widespread eukaryotes living in fresh and marine water. In line with the collective effort to promote molecular investigations of macroalgal biology, here we demonstrate the feasibility of using LCM and cell-specific transcriptomics to study development of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus. We describe a workflow comprising cultivation and fixation of algae on glass slides, laser microdissection, and RNA amplification. To illustrate the effectiveness of the procedure, we show qPCR data and metrics obtained from cell-specific transcriptomes generated from both upright and prostrate filaments of Ectocarpus.

Writer: Radha S Menon
Director: Tony Sciara
Cast: Dia Frid, Maya Huliyappa-Menon
Performed at Gallery #2: Factory Media Centre
Review by: Sean Pittman
Ghost Train Riders at the Factory Media Centre is the story of an old woman waiting in a station after missing her train. Somewhat resentful after a life self-defined by goodbyes and broken promises, actress Dia Frid injects an endearing, grandmotherly quality to the otherwise defeatist character. When interrupted by the 'cheeky' teenaged girl portrayed by Maya Huliyappa-Menon, the old woman is forced to confront her past, her forgotten youth, and her life moments between the 'series of goodbyes'. The script is very strong and accessible, exploring themes of aging, mortality, family and love. Frid and Huliyappa-Menon are an excellent match on stage and their chemistry adds to the realism of the piece. When the old woman feels defeated ("I'm too old for that") the teen pushes her to remember the joys of youth; from laughing until you can't breath to the feeling of invincibility after climbing a tree. Sound design and multimedia are used in the play to blur the audience's perception of reality. Is the old woman waiting for a physical train, or does her journey with the teen take place in some alternate state of consciousness? Keep an eye out for Passengers by director Tony Sciara, a larger project from which Ghost Train Riders is derived.

The Dow (DJINDICES:^DJI) isn't always a ticker-tape parade or a bloodbath. The index is trading sideways today, exactly flat as of this writing.
But even the smoothest slab of polished steel looks like a craggy mountainside under a microscope. And so does the Dow: There are always forces pushing and pulling the index to and fro, even on a placid day like this.
This time, we have consumer-facing companies adding value while some of the infrastructure guys are holding the Dow back.
Kraft Foods (Nasdaq: KFT) gained 1.5% and boosted the Dow by five points. The stock will fall off the premier market index next week, replaced by health insurance firm UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH). Today's jump comes from positive analyst comments on Kraft's rock-solid dividend policy, and it may be the company's last hurrah on behalf of the Dow.
McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) also added five points to the index value with a 0.8% price jump. The fast-food giant is introducing a new line of healthier foods, along with nutrition information front and center on its menus, and analysts are lovin' it.
The biggest loser had nothing to do with diet and exercise programs today. United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) slashed seven points off the Dow with a 1.2% price drop. The maker of aerospace and construction equipment didn't have any terrible news to share, but investors may be taking some profit after a market-beating three-month run.

flOw doesn't follow the traditional path of a game; it's more of a chilled experience than an all-action, undersea battler. The combination of fluid, intuitive controls, freeform music and beautiful graphics makes this a very memorable experience.
70/100 Gameplay
Gameplay is simple with effective controls and very straight forward objective. Although the single player is short lived, the addition of multiplayer makes it more enjoyable.
90/100 Graphics
Very beautiful graphics with smooth animations and vibrant colors, the graphics are easily one of flOw's strongest points.
85/100 Sound
A very creative approach to sound, it works well most of the time, but there are occasions where it can seem awkward.
60/100 Value
Although its cheap fun, it only last a few a hours, multiplayer adds to the value though.
Overall: 80/100
A bit short, but lots of fun. My wife loves it. And you can't beat the price
I play it. Not all the time but, it's nice to help kill time while downloading or doing whatever. The GF seems to think it's kinda cool too. Most of my friends also like playing the game. It's not something that's going to keep you coming back hour after hour but, it's definatly worth the price.

I know now 4 different Electas... and all 4 are different!!!
Let's go through some of these differences comparing the Electa of Lucio and mine.
There are quite a few...
The shower head:
The "mystery hole" on the head:
(mine is red)
I know of another Electa with a much wider hole which is uncolored.
The base:
Lucio was probably more used on a stovetop, mine more as an electric machine.
My base has this voltage mark:
The filter holder:
(mine has a flattened spout)
The gender:
Lucio is a female Electa.
Mine is a male.
And this one neither was electric nor had a hole in the head:

General News of Wednesday, 12 July 2017
Source: mynewsgh.com
A leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Stephen Kojo Arhin also known in politics as Wewebi, has stated emphatically that those who criticise President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's administration will soon bow before him after one year in office following the remarkable achievements he will chalk .
In an exclusive interview with mynewsgh.com, Mr. Arhin said even though President Nana Addo assumed office barely six months ago, things are really changing including the curbing of illegal mining activities at Twifo Praso, improvement in interest rates among others.
He stated that NPP will never fail Ghanaians and believe President Nana Addo will put smiles on the faces of Ghanaians who trusted and voted massively for him at the polls.
Mr. Arhin sent a strong warning to the newly appointed Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCES), all the regional ministers, top government officials to be transparent to the people they serve to enable the President fulfill all his campaign promises made to Ghanaians.
According to the staunch NPP member, the increasing unemployment rate in the country due to lack of job avenues has become a major source of concern to the youth and therefore appealed to President Nana Addo to as matter of urgency address the problem.
He also indicated that due to the spate of unemployment situation in the country, NPP activists who fought for the party to win power are struggling to get positions in the current government in order to cater for their families.

XPages Tip: Passing an Array to a Custom Control Property
Custom properties are extremely useful for modular design and reuse by sending custom values into each instance. There are a number of data types that can be selected, but no obvious way to pass an array value. In this post, I'll describe the issue and how to work around it.
Custom Property Data Types
The default data type for a custom property is
There are a number of primitive data types available in the dropdown:
If you click the folder icons, there are a number of additional options, including Converters, Validators, and other types, but there are no data types for arrays (or vectors or JavaScript objects).
String Data Type
In this case, I want a property that can accept an array of values.
To test this, I created a simple custom control with two properties,
stringProperty and
objectProperty, to test how they handle arrays. They both default to
string as the data type.
<xc:ccTest> <xc:this.stringProperty><![CDATA[#{javascript:return ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'];}]]></xc:this.stringProperty> <xc:this.objectProperty><![CDATA[#{javascript:return ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5'];}]]></xc:this.objectProperty> </xc:ccTest>
You can leave the data type as
string, but compute an array to return. It won't throw an error, but it will treat it like a single string.
No Data Type
You can remove the data type from the property definition and it won't throw an error on the custom control. However, that is not a valid property, so its treated as though that property doesn't exist.
If you've already set up an instance of the custom control and passed a value to it, it will throw an error on the custom control instance: Unknown property this.. It is not defined on tag .
Custom Data Type
Fortunately, there's a really simple solution — you can manually type in a property type.
If you type in
object as the type, it does the trick. (It effectively works as desired, although it actually accepts the data as
XPages Tip: Reading Custom Properties and Modifying a Component Before a Page Loads
If you need to read a property on a custom control and do something to any component on the page before a page loads, it can get tricky because the
compositeData object is not available in the
beforeRenderResponse event and
getComponent() does not work in the
beforePageLoad event.
I have an application where I need to dynamically inject components before a page loads. However, the injection depends on custom properties on a custom control, so it needs to read the properties and then get a handle to a component and modify it. Since the
compositeData object isn't available in the
beforeRenderResponse event and
getComponent() doesn't work in the
beforePageLoad event, there's no single place to put the code that I need.
Fortunately, there's a simple workaround. Code in the
beforePageLoad event can read custom properties from the
compositeData object and store them in
viewScope variables. Then, code in the
beforeRenderResponse event can read those values from
viewScope and use
getComponent() to get the handle to the component that I need to modify.
MWLUG Slides – AD114 Take Your XPages Development to the Next Level
In this session at MWLUG 2015, Paul Calhoun and I dug into a number of features already available in XPages, but not as widely used.
We only had time to cover half of the sections, but the full set of slides is available here
Topics include:
- Application Responsiveness (primarily JSON RPC)
- SSJS Tips
- Modifying Component output
- Java Tips
- Custom Controls (including dynamic field binding to make reusable fields)
- Resources for learning more
- Debugging Tips
- Event handlers
- Dojo
Interesting Quirk with Custom Property Names
I came across an interesting quirk when defining custom properties within a custom control — there are some names that cannot be used.
While working on a reusable control for charting functionality, I wanted to add a custom property called chartTheme. As I started to type the name, it let me type 'cha', then prevented the 'r' from working. I initially thought something was wrong with the key on my keyboard, because it let me type other characters. After fiddling with it for a moment, I realized that it just refused to allow the property to be named 'char'.
To work around it, I typed the 't' next and then added the 'r' afterwards. (After the word 'chart' was in the field, it would not let me delete the 't', which would have changed the word back to 'char'.)
I tried other data type names and found a similar issue. Then I tried other keywords (true, class, etc) and got the same result.
It looks like a limitation on reserved words in Java in general. (Logically, this makes sense because everything is compiled down to Java.)
I found tested these reserved words and tested them all and verified that they are cannot be used:
- abstract
- assert
- boolean
- break
- byte
- case
- catch
- char
- class
- const
- continue
- default
- double
- do
- else
- enum
- extends
- false
- final
- finally
- float
- for
- goto
- if
- implements
- import
- instanceof
- int
- interface
- long
- native
- new
- null
- package
- private
- protected
- public
- return
- short
- static
- strictfp
- super
- switch
- synchronized
- this
- throw
- throws
- transient
- true
- try
- void
- volatile
- while
I also noticed that 'con' and 'nul' are not allowed.
This can be annoying when typing a property name, but it's easily worked around by adding a different character and then fixing it.
I'm curious to hear if you've had similar experience.
1. Are there any other words that you've come across?
2. Are there other places where you've seen this limitation?
XPages Tip: Accessing a custom control's custom property from outside of the custom control
If you've used custom properties, then you're aware that the
compositeData object provides access to those properties within the custom control. However, you can also access those properties from outside of the custom control. In this post, I'll show how.
Accessing a Custom Property from Within a Custom Control
Let's start with a custom control named
myCC that has a custom property named
myProperty. Here's what it looks like to include it on an XPage and pass in a value of myValue:
<xc:myCC myProperty="myValue"></xc:myCC>
On the custom control, you can refer to that value as
compositeData.myProperty. Here's an example of a computed field that displays the property value.
<xp:text escape="true" id="computedField1" value="#{javascript:return compositeData.myProperty;}"> </xp:text>
Accessing a Custom Property from Outside of a Custom Control
If you have a need to access the a value passed to a custom property of a custom control from outside if the custom control, there are two steps to take:
- Add an id to the custom control instance on the page (so you can refer to it)
- Get the custom control component, retrieve a map of its property values, and then access the property that you need
Here's an updated example of the custom control implementation on the XPage, with an id attribute added.
<xc:myCC myProperty="myValue" id="ccID"></xc:myCC>
Here's how to refer to the custom property from the XPage:
This concept will work fine with multiple instances of the same custom control within a page because each instance would be required to have its own unique ID.
If you want to make the property available in client-side Javascript, you can use the
"#{javascript: }" syntax:
var propertyValue = "#{javascript:getComponent('ccID').getPropertyMap().getProperty('myProperty')";
A Use Case
Here's an example where I've recently found this useful. I have an application where I have a flexible grid custom control that takes a parameter with the URL for a REST service to supply the data. When I execute a search, I don't want to reload the entire page — I just want to call the REST service to get the updated results and apply them to the grid.
But the search field exists as part of the application layout, so it's outside of the grid custom control. Since the grid control is used for several types of grids, the REST service will vary, so I need to read a custom property of the custom control from another place on the page. This allows the Search feature to be reusable like the custom control.
Reading a Custom Control Property Into Client-Side JavaScript
There are times when it's helpful to get information from server-side JavaScript into client-side JavaScript. I find this most frequently when I have a custom control that uses a client-side library function, but needs information from a back-end document to work with. (For example, generating a chart with a client-side script library and plotting information from documents on the chart.)
"#{javascript: }" Syntax
If you have a custom control that accepts custom properties and needs to include them in client-side JavaScript, one method you have available to you is this syntax:
"#{javascript: SSJS_CODE_HERE}"
The server will evaluate the code between the colon (:) and closing curly brace (}) on the server side and replace the entire value between (and including) the quotes with the value that results from the server-side JavaScript statement.
Custom Properties
To get a custom property from a custom control, you can use the compositeData object. It automatically provides a handle to all custom properties passed to the custom control.
To get a custom property named myProperty in SSJS, you would use this statement:
var x = compositeData.myProperty;
So, to read the value of a custom control property into a client-side JavaScript statement, you just combine these two things:
var x = "#{javascript:compositeData.myProperty}";
Make sure it's within an xp: tag
<xp:scriptBlock id="block1"> var x = "#{javascript:compositeData.myProperty}"; </xp:scriptBlock>
My First NotesIn9 Episode
My first NotesIn9 episode has been posted: Jailbreak Your XPages View Columns
In the episode, I talk about several ways to enhance the output of columns in a view panel, which, by default, just displays text from an underlying view column. Fortunately, there are several options to customize it:
- Computing a column value with SSJS
- Passing HTML through a view column
- Passing JavaScript through a view column
- Mixing SSJS, HTML, and client-side JavaScript to retrieve back-end data and generate client-side output
- Hijacking a view column to take complete control of its output
There are demonstrations of hijacking a view column output by displaying an iFrame within a view column as well as rendering a dojo chart within each row, reading data from the underlying documents and using it to generate the chart with client-side dojo code.
The chart uses a custom control, so there is also discussion about using custom control properties as well as using the "#{javascript: }" syntax to evaluate server-side statements into client-side javascript code.
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
And if you've ever considered contributing to NotesIn9 — go for it! David Leedy is a pleasure to work with and he provided all the information that I needed to make this happen as easily as possible.

Grassley: 'Five or Six' Dems Will Support Kavanaugh If GOP Gets to 50 Votes
Jake Baker · July 12, 2018 · Featured, Elections, Constitution, Left Wing Ideology, Leftist Bullies, Courts, Corrupt Courts
By: Jeff Poor
Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he anticipated "five or six" Democrats would vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President's Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, with the caveat that Republicans can get the required 50 votes for confirmation.
Grassley said something would have to "very dramatically go wrong" for Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to oppose the nomination.
"I think that we can't count on any Democrats until we get the 50 votes we need, and then we'll get five or six of them," Grassley said. "Otherwise, I don't think we can count on them."
