-tack, ropes, nails, barrels of screws, plumbing pipes, chimney pieces, you name it, they sold it. The dirt floor and open windows made for a chilly set-up, and I shivered in my jacket.
He laughed and walked me over to a notice board covered in business cards, flyers, and information sheets. He pulled one off and gave it to me. The sheet of paper listed out some thirty common breeds of chickens.
“Close your mouth, dear, it’s not attractive,” Mom teased.
The man grinned as she nodded.
The salesman pulled out a forty-pound bag of chicken feed, scratch I guess it’s called, and loaded it into the Subaru.
We ended up with food, containers, and three bales in the backseat with three more strapped down hard on the roof. Filling up at the station near by, we headed home only to have Mark pass us on the long straight stretch before our hill. He did a double take and then burst out laughing, honking his horn and waving at us. Mom opened her window and waved to him to join us. Somehow he understood and turned round and pulled up next to us when we came to Oliver.
He met us at the tavern with a huge grin and a hug for my mom and a kiss on the forehead for me. The wind picked up and slammed the door behind us. The tavern was empty but for the usual five locals along the bar watching the sports channel. Mark and I claimed the table next to the fireplace.
Mom sat down next to me and told him that he was about to be a father to four hens. He didn’t hear her though and pulled out his lists and proceeded to tell me in detail about each and every place he stopped at. No more paid work had come out of his efforts and the boy wasn’t happy about it. Those gigs from summer had ended already unfortunately and he was at a loss. Bored, I guess.
Mom sat down as the waiter approached and took our orders for beer and burgers as usual. She raised her eyebrows at me when I said that I liked working in the café. I liked having easy work, and teaching was just too much bureaucracy these days. That’s probably not what your mom wants to hear, that you’ve become a slacker by mainstream standards, is it? She didn’t bug me though, just ignored me, and asked Mark to explain.
The beers arrived and he took a huge gulp before asking about the bales again. Mom laughed and showed him the reference book she’d bought us, nicely changing the subject.
Mark picked up the book and flicked through it as Mom carried on.
I nodded reluctantly, saying nothing about the donkeys I still dreamed of adopting, or that Danny was giving us five hens. Mom ate her burger and I fiddled with mine. Mark was oblivious to the tension at the table. I didn’t say anything for a while but then remembered Andrew and Louisa.
“Oh, right, well, last I heard it’d be in a couple of weeks. They’re cremating him and then taking his ashes to their family ranch in Colorado. Louise wanted to go see their mom who’s in a nursing home near Pagosa Springs while she’s up there.
The music kicked in with some country and western tune and the fire blazed suddenly.
Mark passed me back the book and laughed at my coop idea. “It’s not quite what I’d imagined but why not? At least we know the ladies will be warm enough even if we freeze in the bus. Maybe I could go sleep with them?” and with that he stood up to order another round of drinks for the table.There are 12 shades in this newbie from Benefit, including some good dark options. The light-feel foundation with SPF15 provides light-to-medium liquid coverage with a natural-looking finish. That’s thanks to soft-focus optical blurring spheres that help even out imperfection and skin tone. From Benefit stores, Smith & Caughey’s and Farmers.co.nz.
For a posh take on crayons and a speed-date with illumination, you’ve met your match. The long-wearing lustrous formula in five shades uses a soft-focus technology that blends in easily with the fingertips. Initial application to the highpoints of the face and around the cupid’s bow is aided by a triangular tip to the product. The Highlight Stick has a similar weightless texture to the Hourglass Vanish Foundation. From Mecca Cosmetica and Mecca Maxima stores, and at online at Meccabeauty.co.nz.
For face and body, this wash-off bronzing product is an easy way back into the idea of making time for self-tanning. Ideal for when you want a top-up of colour without committing to spray sessions. Bondi Sands reckons there is a market gap between makeup and self-tanning, and designed Glo (also available in Shimmer and Matte One Day Tan formulas) to be used for instant colour and as a layerable contouring aid to add luminosity to face, decolletage and limbs. From Unichem and Life pharmacies and Farmers stores.
One of a range of colour correcting primers, this being the all-purpose brightener, with others to correct darkness, sallowness or redness – to provide a lightweight face base. The range has also been formulated with an anti-pollution complex to help screen the skin from environmental damage.
This is a top-coat best worn over YSL’s limited edition Neon Lights lipsticks which come in six neon-infused lacquered stains to saturate lips in colour before your add dimension with either this top coat or a black holographic version for added bite. From selected pharmacies and department stores.Q: XPage is completely blank I have an xpage that includes some static html at the top, some edit fields to enter search criteria, a data table to display the search results and a button to refresh the id of the data table to display the search results.
When I launch the page initially it displays fine, includes default data in the data table and all is good.  When I click the button, the page loses all content - including the static html at the top.
There is no error message on the server console, there is nothing in the firebug console that would indicate any errors. Firebug shows the html on the page consists of the following:  
<html><head></head><body></body></html>

Any thoughts on where my content is going?  I would expect at least the static html to display or an error message on the console, but nothing...

A: I looked at you code.   You do have a BeforeRenderResults event that calls javascript that I don't have access to.   First thing remove this event, and you should at least see something in your browser.   It seems to be acting as an "Xagent".  Something in your code is doing something and never finishing, so your page is never rendered.
If I remove that event myself, I get other errors after that because I don't have your SSJS library called  "/SortableSearchResults.jss".   Also, check that file extension, shouldn't it be just ".js".

negativeTwo thirds through October and the season is still capable of coming up with nice surprises. This first-for-the-year, a handsome Large Wainscot, flew in last night and slumbered in what was a rather damp and unwelcoming trap. It has a beautiful latte colour with an extremely modest helping of chocolate sprinkles, and the great advantage for the ID-challenged like myself of being much larger than all other, often confusingly similar, wainscots.
Other arrivals, shown in order: a Brown-spot Pinion, an immigrant Blair's Shoulder-knot, a Red-line Quaker and a pallid Sallow. All this plus the usual contingent of Black Rustics, Lunar Underwings and ever more-battered Large Yellow Underwings keep the morning pilgrimage to the trap worthwhile.

Ditto species-wise here this morning, with the exception of your Wainscot. However, I'll raise you an MDJ :o)
Hi Martin.
I think I would have guessed Yellow-line Quaker personally for the penultimate moth, but it looks a bit faded so I'm not certain. Nice Blairs' Shoulder Knot which according to Waring,Townsend,Lewington is an established resident now, so may not have flown too far, which would help explain its fine condition. That is an odd weather vane, I would never have noticed!
Hi both and apols for the delay.
Excellent that you got your M
