My Source is Like this
This process is called denormalisation (or "denormalization").
Basically what you need here are:
- an EXP which "assembles" the records per year,
- one extra record at the end of the real input data,
- a FIL which lets pass through only the last record per year.
This is a VERY rough outline, but it works. So the answer to your
initial question (can this be done in PowerCenter?) is clearly YES.
I am currently developping on version 7.1.4 of Informatica.
I need to load flat file targets on a daily basis. I'd like to parameter the
name of the target file with a timestamp (Example : MyFile_YYYYMMDD.txt) so
I can put all the target files in a single directory but have a separate
file for each day of loading.
My sources are Oracle tables.
I am OK with generating the timestamp, my question is especialy about how to
parameter the name of the target file ?
Use one mapping to create the name of the target file and write this
file name to a parameter file.
Have the session for the second mapping utilise this parameter file.
This second session is the one that you want to provide with a
parameterised target file name.
Look up the Workflow Administration Guide, there's one section about
the session variables among which you will find the variables
$OutputFileName... ; this is the feature you need here.
There is a way to pass the filename of the target file via a special
filename port in the target. Check the documentation
Just a bit of explanation:
Since PowerCenter 7.1.4 a flat file target can have a new port named
FileName; when _creating_ a flat file target (not when importing one)
there are several buttons above the port list, and the rightmost one
of these shows an uppercase F in a dotted square; click this, and you
get a new port named FileName of type String(255).
Beware that a new file name provided via this port will only be
accepted on a transaction boundary; usually this feature is used to
generate several target files with different names during one session run.
Is it possible to write data directly into a file system on an external server using Powercenter without creating an intermediate file on Powercenter server machine.
Basically, we are trying to extract several gigs of data from an Oracle source, create the target directly as a FF on a target server and delete the data from the source once the target FF has been successfully created. We don't want to land the data on Powercenter server.
PC version is 7.1.3 on Solaris 9.
I dont see why not....you would probably need to map the drive of the
server into the Informatica Server machine and provide the path
accordingly, else I think you can use FTP Connection to right
directly into the FTP Target.
You can define you flat-file target as an FTP target and choose not
to stage it.
Informatica will then open a FTP connection and write the data
directly to the remote file.
I need some advice on using dynamic lookups. This is my scenario.
I get few employee,dept details from source.
(emp_name I get from srce).
My target is project_details_tbl.
Before inserting emp_name into the target, I lookup for the employee
details in the employee table.
If there is no row available, I need to insert into the table, making
the same table as the target.
For this, I will use a Dynamic Lookup. But, there are 3 fields in this
The first field is a simple sequence number.
The second, I wd get frm source.
The third , is a null value.
For every new emp_name I get from the source, a unique emp_num is to
be inserted.
I can get this by
select max(emp_num) +1 from emp_table
Hence there are two steps,
One dynamic lookup to check if the row already exists or not.
If it does not exist, another dynamic lookup to check the current max
value of the sequence number.
This sounds very complicated. Is using two dynamic lookups unnecessary?
Am I missing out any simple straight forward method?
Plz advice
Dinamic lookup is required only if you are getting duplicate emp
names from source, other wise you can do with simple lookup on target
table. Check in expression if lookup findes any value or not, if no
value found insert in project_details_tbl (u may want to use filter
Hey..with a simple lookup I cannot see the updated records.
There is a new row from the source and it got inserted. When another
row comes up, that should also get inserted into the lokup table
When sometime later, this row comes up, it should be able to get
this value too from the lookup table.
For this, I think a dynamic lookup is required.
How many groups(filter conditions) we can use in RTR transformtion .
i have to use more than 100, will it work
please help in this one....
I don't know why this should not work. But to be honest I see a
"slight" problem: maintainability. Personally I would prefer (if that
can be done usefully) to split up this "monster" router into several
cascaded routers; one RTR would split up the records into for example
12 groups, and then every group uses another RTR to finally split up
the records. That's easier to survey and to understand. Of course this
works only if the >100 groups have some things in common.
Stored procedure might be a good option in cases like that. Instead of having a HUGE router or bunch of routers.
Please be careful giving such advice; we all do not know the least bit
about Naveen's requirements, and giving any "generalised" hint such as
"SP may be good here" may mislead users. Before giving such advice we
first have to better understand the original cause of trouble; I agree
that a RTR with >100 groups looks somewhat puzzling at first, but we
cannot know without more information what's the best alternative.
[Nico, have you read this? Sometimes you should be more careful in
this regard, too. ;-) ]
would say that any mapping with more than 20+ objects (router or
otherwise) is a problematic architecture, Except or unless the
mapping is for real-time, is using XML or is normalizing cobol
copybooks. Only in those cases have I seen a lot of objects in a map.
Just be aware, that "just because you can do it doesn't mean you
should." In other words, I can garauntee this map will have
performance problems. It probably won't run more than 800 rows per
second if your lucky.
Imagine a expression with more than 50 datetime ports.
I need to create an output port with the most recent date.
Is there an easier way other than using several DATE_COMPARE ?
It's easier to write a Java Transformation (JTX) under PowerCenter
8.x; in a JTX, date/time ports are always treated as "long" variables
(signed 64-bit integers), so you can simply compare them as numbers.
However, a JTX is always executed in a so-called Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) in a different OS process, meaning you have to take into account
not only the process switch (which costs time) but also the (not too
easy) communication between the JVM and the PowerCenter Integration
Service process.
My suggestion is to "normalise" these >= 50 ports using a NRM, then
sort them per "group" (namely per real input record), and retrieve the
latest date from the sorted group of data. For example using an AGG.
Thanks for your answer.
I forgot to say that we still use Powercenter 7.1.4.
The easier solution we found was creating an Oracle Function that receives n
as parameters and returns only one. Oracle has a function called GREATEST
returns the greatest item of an list of n items.
Any way, thanks a lot.
I was interested in learning the JTX transformation. Do you think you can provide sample code for a JTX transformation.
thanks for pointing out the EXP instead of the AGG, this can speed up
the solution.
Besides this detail this exactly resembles my suggestion. The NRM is
the perfect tool for this task; you can feed the NRM with as many
repetitive ports as you want to, and it will in (almost) every case be
faster than calling a Stored Procedure.
Not to forget that with a SP you are stuck to the database system
which you're going to use. This is one advantage of PowerCenter:
whatever you can do in a mapping, you can do it regardless of any
underlying storage system (be it flat files, be it some RDBMS). We are
using a great tool, so why not use all of its potential?
This function 'GREATEST()' is available in INFA 8. I am not sure about INFA
But one can expect the same service from this function as Oracle GREATEST
Performance considerations are important here. :)
It's been introduced in 8.0, there was nothing like that available in 7.x.
I don't know about the Oracle GREATEST function, and to be honest I
don't care; I'm happy that it exists in PowerCenter 8. ;-)
The most important thing one should keep in mind is that GREATEST()
returns NULL only if all its input values are NULL.
Check it out guys. AFAIK until 8.1.1 Informatica had a
different way of handling GREATEST() and LEAST();
While Oracle will return a null for Greatest() and
Least() if any of the columns used in the function is
a null, Informatica choose to ignore the nulls and
provide a output based on the not null columns.
IMHO, Greatest() can be used for this Max Date problem
but would advise caution and use something like NVL to
handle the nulls. This would de-risk your code if Infa
changed these functions at a later date to emulate the
This all depends on your PMServer configuration setting / PowerCenter
Service setting. You can change the way NULLS are handled there.
The way we control the handling of nulls is through the flag Aggregator Treat nulls as (something similarly worded); Greatest ( ) and Least ( ) are row level functions and hence this flag would not influence them but would influence only the aggregate functions
No problem, everyone has their own opinion, but do me a favor: check
the settings for the powercenter service, please tell the group what
the results are of changing the service setting for handling nulls
and then running your aggregator function, just to be sure. If
they've changed the behaviour we want to make sure the group has the
facts, not just opinionated here-say from each of us.

I got this email forwarded to me from my uncle who got it from somebody else that got it from another person that had received it....
Subject: Thanks for all of the FORWARDS this year!!
As another year will shortly be a memory, my heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me "forwards" over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Extra thanks for the ones that I have to open 15 times to get to the message.
Special thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat dung and roach eggs in the glue on envelopes 'cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola, because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer drink Pepsi, or Dr Pepper, since the people who make these products are atheists who won't put "Under God" on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave, because it causes cancer.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants, even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls, because someone might drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from, nor send packages by UPS, or FedEx, since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer answer the phone, because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat KFC, because their "chickens" are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus, since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul, because at last count I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any savings, because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now return the favor!
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM (EDT) this afternoon.
I know this will occur, because it actually did happen to a friend of mine's next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.

Email Forwarding Appreciated
I got this email forwarded to me from my uncle who got it from somebody else that got it from another person that had received it....

Man Denied Equal Rights!
Some one has to tell the political correct crowd that enough is enough. Exporting their nonsense to our British allies is a bit too much.
OK, here is the story. Some (unnamed) man in Great Britain has filed a complaint because a GP would not test him for cervical cancer. The man claims to be a hermaphrodite but doctors have found no evidence that this is true. Without a cervix it is a tad difficult to perform a pap smear test. They are dealing with a nut! (They should release this guy's name in the interest of public safety)
So what happens? - quote from Telegraph News - The complaint has caused doctors in the west country practice to spend hours in meetings and writing replies to the local primary care trust over the complaint which began two years ago - AND - "The refusal of one of the doctors to put Mr X on the recall list for cervical screening has resulted in a complaint and, as a result the doctor, practice manager and other practitioners have spent many hours, at the expense of the care of other patients, answering written inquiries.
He (Tim Terry, consultant in reconstructive urology, Leicester University Hospitals NHS Trust) said: "There are some people with ambiguous genitalia but I have not come across a man who was normal physically and fertile who was in this inter-sex group. My advice would be to refer the patient to a sexual dysfunction clinic."
A local primary care trust spokesman said: "We have received a complaint as you described and as required, under the NHS complaints procedure, we are investigating along with other complaints from the individual." - end http://www.portal.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2003/01/16/nsmear16.xml quotes -
prying1 sez: What's the big deal? He wants a pap smear. Tie the man down and smear him all over with pap! Then slap a strait jacket on him. After that, fire the employees at the local primary care trust. - Scheesh! Who is nuttier? This obvious mental case or the idiots working in the local primary care trust.

The End of the Story!
My attempt at writing a short story:
He was hiding behind the rock. It was a big rock and it shielded him from the bullets flying his way. He felt safe for the moment but little did he realize that one of his assassins had circled around and above him. He didn't even hear the gunshot.
All I need is a beginning and a middle (with some love interest - plus a dog, guitar, mom and a train) and I think I have a million book seller. Anyone want to help me out here?

No WMD's?
I was going to post a bit on how tired I am of the No WMD's complaint from the left. I pulled up a few references through Google and got tired of reading the evidence that a lot of crap has been found. I got tired of seeing evidence that Iraq had several programs to build weapons that would destroy indiscriminately. I got tired of the evidence that Saddam gassed the Kurds.
That the left continually claims to support the troops and then claim that these same troops are only fighting because 'Bush lied', and it is all because of the oil makes me tired. I get tired when evidence is thrown into their faces and they continually whine about "Poor Saddam" having his country taken from him (They don't actually say it but I must assume that if they just wanted the U.N. to pile on more sanctions instead of taking him out through force they must prefer he remained in power.)
As I said I'm tired of it.
BUT! Not too tired to give up and let them take over the blogosphere.
Analyzing both sides of the issue I say Bush did the right thing. Iraq will be a shining example of democracy in the Middle East. This will be the Republican President Bush's legacy. In spite of the naysayers!

Virus Laden Junk Email Starting on the 6th of January?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they gave a virus attack and nobody bit into it?
The date is drawing near for what might be the next Sober virus attack. Please use caution in opening any emails even if they appear to be from friends.
Some 'Quick Quotes' from Cnet.com's article linked below:
Hat tip to Papergirl8 - Check out her ebay auctions!
...thanks to another set of researchers at iDefense (link on original page not operative), we think January 5 or 6, 2006, either a Thursday or a Friday--just in time to fill everyone's e-mailbox with junk over the weekend--is the most likely of those dates for that attack to occur. -
Imagine sending a very large and sophisticated virus over e-mail--your ISP or company would certainly stop it dead at the gateway. So, virus writers have started sending out smaller versions that merely infect. Once installed, the small virus then opens a backdoor to call out to the predetermined Web server IP address from which it then loads a more sophisticated version of itself (or it transforms the infected PC into a conduit for spam, pornography, or a host of other malicious uses). -
Most of the Sober variants use a trigger delay; they install quickly but then sleep for a preset period of time before reaching out and contacting the Internet for a new download.
**** Most important lines in the article ****
It's important to note that your PC must already be infected with Sober before it becomes a foot soldier in this expected January 5 assault. No infection, no participation. So clean your desktop computer now. For corporate systems, it's also important to create firewall rules that block IP requests to the January 5 addresses. According to F-Secure, the addresses to be contacted on January 5, 2006, include:...
Unfortunately, many PCs worldwide are connected to the Internet without antivirus protection. I expect to see some activity but not a full-out assault. Either way, keep your antivirus protection primed over the holidays and install a firewall if you haven't already. And don't be too surprised if you find a ton of junk e-mail in your in-box starting January 6, 2006, or you find your e-mail traffic is a little slower. It's Sober.

Happy Birthday Louis Braille
I have to admit I really admire some of the folks at Google. At least the ones that come up with the cartoons for their logo. This one dated January 4th 2006:
has a little banner that pops up when you run the mouse across it that says, "Happy Birthday Louis Braille!"
Great imaginations down there at Google will keep it on top for quite a while.
The story of Louis Braille can be found here and is quite an interesting read. Did you know he became blind from a childhood accident with an awl? Later it was with an awl that he perfected the Braille alphabet. I learned something new today.

The most dangerous job if the season is finished. That is, dragging the Christmas tree outside without spilling the water all over.
In times past I've taken old towels and soaked the water out of the tree holder and then watched in dismay as the rags drip a line of water to the kitchen sink. I've crawled under the tree and used a cup to transfer the water to a pot and then spilt the pot as I got tangled in the tree. Plus I couldn't get quite all the water out and spilled some more moving the tree.
This year I said, "To heck with it." Grabbed the tree by the trunk and carried it straight up. Forced it through two doorways and into the back yard. No water on the carpet and only a few drops by the back door. A swiffer took care of that real quick.
They should give out prizes or something for a job well done.
Hey! I have an idea for next year. I'll trim all the branches off and leave the trunk for a coat rack.

The Holiness of the Church in the Nineteenth Century – Louis of Casoria
An amiable character that must win all hearts shines forth in the Servant of God Louis of Casoria, a true son of Saint Francis. He was born on 11 March 1814, the son of a vine-dresser. His family name was Palmentieri, but in religion he was called Louis of Casoria, from his birthplace, Casoria, near Naples. To use all his powers in relieving the corporal and spiritual misery of mankind was the guiding motive of his life. Those that place their hopes in God, who bestows His grace according to the measure of our confidence in Him, are made ingenious and enterprising by their love. Louis at once inspired the members of the third Order with efficient love of the neighbor. With their assistance he bought, near Naples, a fine house suited to the sick poor.
Two negro boys were given him to educate. The good results he had with them suggested to him the plan of civilizing Africa through the Africans. In a few years he had gathered together sixty negro boys, who received the benefit of a Christian training. But there were also in Naples very many abandoned children. For these he founded two asylums. In the "Deserto" near Sorrento, he built a hospital for old people, sailors, and fishermen, and also a hospice where penniless strangers might be admitted. Florence is indebted to him for an asylum for poor children and a church of the Sacred Heart, for which he obtained 70,000 lire by begging. In Assisi his ardent zeal obtained means for a home of the deaf, the dumb, and the blind. As long as there was misery on earth there was no rest for him. His confidence in God grew only the greater. Although he had only fifty centimes at the time, he bought an orphanage at Naples in 1872 for 110,000 lire. Finally he bought a ruined palace in Posilipo, near the sea, to serve as a house for sea-folk and as a sanitarium for priests and students. The money for this enterprise and for his other remarkable charities he obtained often in miraculous ways. He also did much for the promotion of knowledge, was a great patron of music, and founded the periodical "La Carita." Besides, he established many religious societies – "The Gray Brothers" (Zigi), the "Elizabethines" ("The Servants of the Heart of Jesus"), who, under the rules of the third Order of Saint Francis, devoted themselves to works of charity.
There has been seldom a death so mourned as that of Louis of Casoria. He died on 30 March 1884. In his beautiful last testament he says: "Divine love was my poverty, my obedience, my chastity. The holy vows did not compel me to serve God, but the love of Jesus moved my heart and made my soul, my hands and feet His servants. To enkindle my love I asked God, not for raptures and visions, but for labor, worka of charity, and for souls. In my prayers I implored zeal for labor, divine love in labor and distress, in cares and contradictions and I often cried, 'Oh Charity, oh, to die for Charity!' My dear brethren, I commend to you the Holy Catholic Church. Strive for her by word and writing and by deeds, and if need be even with your blood. Stand firm, humble, and lowly at the feet of the Holy See. Harken to the Church as you would to the voice of God Himself. Observe her commands, her very thoughts. The Church of Christ is the authority of all authorities. She alone has peace and happiness in her train. All other authority which does not work in union with her and does not listen to her is without life, since it does not labor toward the last end of our creation and for the saving of souls redeemed by Jesus. Live in peace and pray for me. Your poor brother, Louis of Casoria."

The imaginative expression recalls a time in Greek history where the myths of the gods were, in fact, reality. Well, that depends on what you make of the culture. More to the point of this article perhaps is the architecture for which the Greeks were well and truly legend. Granite or marble, it makes no difference, many of those historic monoliths are still standing. This is after a couple of thousand years wear or tear, give or take.
And that's putting it mildly, because have you any idea how many wars and earthquakes the ancient Greeks endured back then. And let's not forget modern history and all the vagaries of today's high pollution levels that can damage urban structures, both external and internal. Speaking of which, if such granite structures exposed to all over a couple of thousand years are still standing today, just think how long the results of your granite countertops St Louis installation could last.
You could test the longevity with marble, if that's your preference, but do you know what, they say granite is bigger and better. They're a lot stronger than all other stone or rock surfaces. Also, they're very practical for the kitchen, because no knives or metal pots and pans or heavy crockery can damage these surfaces. And another thing, once you've had your fill of kitchen preparations, you'll look forward to your mop up operations.
Because that's so easy to do now. Cleaning granite surfaces are conveniently easy. No hard work involved and when you return to your kitchen the next morning, you'll notice just how well this focal point of your kitchen is still gleaming. As to the expense, it's well worth the outlay, given the material's likely lifespan.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Work related injuries and other Injury Lawyer topics.
Let's face it, accidents happen. They occur anywhere: at work, at home, on the road, on the street. In some cases, one person is at fault and other times, well, it's just an accident. Companies, where employees use machinery and lift heavy items, are more at risk for work-related injuries. These employers must carry a workers compensation policy for such situations. Workers comp covers the injured employee and compensates him or her for the work time loss and medical bills. If the injury at work is more serious, the insurance company will make disability payments. If the employee can no longer perform the duties in the same position, the workers comp may cover training costs to help the employee get another job.
In order to receive the compensation, an injury report must be filed with the insurance company. There are instances when some or all benefits are denied or cancelled. It is essential to consult an attorney in such situations. An experienced injury lawyer will determine which benefits are due and will file the appropriate forms. Injury at work may happen to anyone. It is important to know the legal rights in this situation.

One of the things I love about Halloween is monsters. I love them all, from werewolves and vampires to more uncommon monsters like Barker's Pinhead, or the ones found in urban legends and mythological folklore. So, for the rest of this month I will be writing a lot about monsters in fiction. I started this week off with a review of Glenn Rolfe's new werewolf novel, BLOOD AND RAIN, and next week I'll be reviewing Ellen Datlow's anthology, THE MONSTROUS, and Hunter Shea's newest book, THE DOVER DEMON. But today I want to toss some vampires into the fray and I can't think of a better, more unique offering than DUST DEVILS by Jonathan Janz.
From the product description page on Amazon:
Beware when the vampires come to town.
When traveling actors recruited his wife for a plum role, Cody Wilson had no idea they would murder her. Twelve-year-old Willet Black was just as devastated the night the fiends slaughtered everyone he loved. Now Cody and Willet are bent on revenge, but neither of them suspects what they're really up against.
For the actors are vampires. Their thirst for human blood is insatiable. Even if word of their atrocities were to spread, it would take an army to oppose them. But it is 1885 in the wilds of New Mexico, and there is no help for Cody and Willet. The two must battle the vampires—alone—or die trying.
Vampires, when done right, are among my favorite monsters. Some excellent examples of vampires done right are I AM LEGEND, by Richard Matheson, SALEM'S LOT, by Stephen King, and THE STRAIN, by Guillermo del Toro. The vampires in these books are bloodthirsty, vicious killers and the thing that makes them good examples–in addition to fine writing–is that these vampires terrify. Another excellent example of vampires done right is DUST DEVILS, by Jonathan Janz.
DUST DEVILS is atypical of the vampire sub-genre. The stage is unique and appealing, and the characters are developed with a mastery that sets this book apart from others of it's kind. I've said before–and it remains true–that Jonathan Janz writes with a depth of emotion that is all too uncommon in modern fiction. His characters come off the page in three-dimensional high-def with surround sound. His monsters huff their fetid, carrion breath on the back of your neck, appalling and terrifying you, and his protagonists draw you into the story, hurtling you along with a sense of urgency and despair, racing towards a climax that is both horrific and intensely satisfying.
If you're in the mood for a ridiculously entertaining vampire story in this Halloween season, or you just want to read a damn good horror novel by a master artisan, I can't recommend DUST DEVILS enough. Jonathan Janz is a young author at the top of his game and he's only getting better with the passage of time. DUST DEVILS is a fine example of what I'm talking about.

EU confirms 2012 ban on battery cages
First, on 8th January 2008 the European Commission has upheld the decision made in 1999 by the European Union when it passed the Laying Hens Directive (1999/74/EC) to ban battery cages for hens by 2012 in all its member states. There will be no postponement, the Commission said in a published report.
There had been fears that the date of 2012 could be delayed, due to pressures from egg industry lobbies in many EU countries that continued for many years. The International Egg Commission had previously issued statements saying that the EU Laying Hens Directive sent a ripple around the world, with the global battery cage industry fearing a domino effect in other countries like the USA, Canada and Australia.
18 million is the number of hens still kept in battery cages a year in the UK, and over 200 million each year in the EU.
The European Commission's report in January concluded that the cost of switching to cage-free eggs could be less than one cent of a euro per egg, but the higher welfare standards could give EU producers a commercial advantage over non-EU competitors.
"There is clearly a growing market for animal welfare friendly products," states the report. "Recent Eurobarometer surveys on consumer attitudes to animal welfare revealed that the majority of respondents would be willing to pay more for eggs sourced through animal welfare friendly production systems."
Explaining the reasons for the decision to uphold the ban, EU Commissioner for Health Mr Markos Kyprianou said: "The commission listened to the demands of EU consumers and has taken concrete action to improve the welfare of laying hens".
And this brings us to the second good news item which highlights the power of the media when they get involved in animal issues.
UK consumers switch to free-range due to media coverage of factory farms cruelty
In the UK there has been a massive change in consumers habits following TV programs and newspaper coverage of poultry factory farming.
In January 2008 Channel 4, a major British TV network, broadcast a series of food programmes with celebrity chefs Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver launching a high-profile campaign to show the general public what battery cages and broiler sheds mean for the animals. At the same time the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) placed advertisements in national newspapers to create what appeared a coordinated campaign. The Independent, a major UK national newspaper, published secret footage from an intensive farm exposing the cruelty inflicted on broiler chickens.
The effects of this have been huge, and perhaps unpredicted.
Sales of free-range poultry shot up by 35 per cent in January 2008 compared with January 2007, while sales of factory-farmed chickens slumped by 7 per cent, according to a survey by the market research company TNS. The trend has continued throughout February as well.
Supermarkets shelves have been emptied of free-range birds, causing complaints from frustrated shoppers eager to embrace the movement away from factory farming.
The increase in free-range chickens sales would have been even higher if producers had been able to keep up with the demand.
"But the new national sales data suggests that shoppers' priorities have shifted dramatically. If the TNS data was extrapolated to the rest of the UK, it suggests sales of factory-farmed chickens dipped by 10 million, while shoppers bought 4.4 million more free-range chickens. Overall, chicken sales were down by 4.8 per cent, perhaps because many people, when faced with an absence of free-range chicken, simply bought no chicken" writes The Independent.
Sainsbury's supermarket poultry department agreed with the picture of roaring free-range sales: "Sales are up 50 per cent year on year so it means we are selling more free-range than we have ever sold. It's also fair to say sales would have been much greater if we had stock to meet demand."
At the same time, several major British supermarket chains, Sainsbury's, Morrison, Co-op, Marks & Spencer and Waitrose, will stop selling battery eggs or have already done so. Something similar is happening with the sale of intensively-reared broiler chickens. Within just two years, UK supermarkets could be selling only eggs laid by barn, free-range and organic free-range hens. The Co-op has also set a target of 2010 for being cage-free on all egg ingredients of all its own label products.
Hellmann's UK has made a groundbreaking decision to become free-range on all its mayonnaise by June 2008. A company representative had been questioned on its use of battery eggs during one of the Channel 4 programs on factory farming.
The tidal change in consumers demand has made front page news.
Chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, who hosted some of the anti-factory-farming shows, intends to make a new television programme on chickens later this year. He said: "I am delighted we have helped create this change and I am delighted that, two months after the show, there appears to be no letting up."

If you want to advance your career as a developer you must learn another language. There's no way around it. Knowing a single language simply won't give you enough working language to produce anything of value. Being able to produce an app using a single language is highly unlikely.
For instance, what you'll need to know on the backend will use different languages than what you're producing on the front end, and that's just one example. Being an expert developer today means understanding the complex interplay between multiple languages and frameworks. As well as being able to determine the best language for the job.
Below we dive into the importance of learning a new language, and why you must do it to advance your career.[ Content upgrade with ID = 171 not found ]
When Should I Learn Another Language?
Photo credit: Lee Campbell
Right this very moment!
We don't say that to scare you, but instead to encourage you. There's truly no better time than now to dive in and begin the process of deeply understanding another language. There are truly no drawbacks to upping your arsenal and learning more than one programming language.
The more languages you can understand the more knowledge you'll have to draw from when you need to solve a complex problem, or build an app, website, or piece of software from scratch. Plus, the more languages you learn the easier it'll be for you pick up other languages.
If you're currently working on projects that are beyond your comfort zone and causing you to apply languages you're just barely familiar with, then you're in a good place. However, if you're only using languages that you have complete familiarity with and are taking projects that you easily know how to complete. Then it's probably time to push yourself to learn a new language.
Choosing the Right Programming Language
So,why do so many languages exist, that practically do the same thing?
Programming languages didn't start out looking all the same. Most programming languages are designed for a very specific purpose. With time, they've grown and evolved, and now tend to more or less resemble one another.
If you want to choose a language that's going to help your career evolve, then it can be useful to pick a language that has a high value in the marketplace, and will grow significantly into the future. You'd hate to pick a language that evolving technologies don't seem to use and effectively position yourself out of the market.
For a breakdown of the current market rates of specific languages, check out this analysis from Code Mentor. It's also important to take an overarching perspective when choosing a language as well.
For instance, if you're looking to understand the entire app creation process, from maintenance, to deployment, to front-end and back-end. Then, choose a language to learn that will support you in this knowledge. Our professional web developer course, offers a complete step-by-step breakdown of this exact process.
What Happens When You Stop Learning
Photo credit: Luis Llerena
If you ever reach a point where you feel like your career is stagnating, and you've become stuck building the same things and solving the same problems, then ask yourself: what can I learn next? The more practical knowledge you have the further you'll be able to take your career.
Book knowledge is important and can help you build the confidence and foundational knowledge to move forward. But, the moment you stop taking on projects that are just outside your skill level you put yourself in kind of a hole. Sure, you might be good for the next few years.
But, over time, you'll become bored of the work you're producing and you might even put yourself of a job. Embrace learning as a natural part of your career, and you'll see your career grow in ways you never could have predicted.

Just days before the last Indian coach Roelant Oltmans was sacked, several seniors members, during their meeting with Hockey India top brass, had complained about the Dutchman sticking with a couple of players despite their poor form. Though, the 'favourites' remained unnamed, it was easy to guess where the fingers were being pointed.
With Oltmans gone, so are the two players. Former India captain Sardar Singh and striker Ramandeep Singh were the most-notable exclusions from India's squad for the World League Finals, which begins in Bhubaneswar on December 1. Sjoerd Marijne, Oltmans' successor, named a young squad, which will see the return of drag-flicker Rupinder Pal Singh.
Besides, being the team's toughest test, the World League Finals also happens to the dress rehearsal for next year's World Cup. Marijne says dropping Ramandeep and Sardar is just a 'rotational' policy. But the decision is not as straightforward as he makes out to be.
More than Ramandeep, though, it is Sardar's omission that begs a bigger question: is this the beginning of the end of his storied career? Going by the initial impressions, that might just be the case.
Sardar's spot has been in danger ever since he was dropped as the captain for the Rio Olympics last year. Off the field, the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him by his fiance have continued to haunt him. The tipping point was during the World League semifinals in London earlier this year, where Sardar was called for questioning by Leeds police a day before India's crucial match against Holland.
The distraction would coincide with Sardar's dip in form. The centre-half lost a yard of his pace and his passes were being intercepted with relative ease by the opponents. At the Asia Cup last month, he was played as a full-back with current skipper Manpreet Singh occupying Sardar's preferred position in the centre of the midfield.
The team management had earlier said they want to limit the number of tournament Sardar plays to elongate his playing career. On Friday, Marijne said he wanted to test a different combination in the defence. "I wanted to see how Rupinder Pal, (defenders) Harmanpreet Singh and Birendra Lakra combine," Marijne says. "Sardar was there at Asia Cup and I want to see Rupinder now. That is the reason for Sardar (not being included)."
Long road back
The road back for Sardar will be long, and he knows that. At the camp, he is already spending extra hours on the field and in the gym to stay on par with his younger teammates. 2018 is a packed year, with the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and World Cup in quick succession. It is believed that Sardar will return for at least one of the three tournaments.
But his target of playing the World Cup next year in front of home fans looks a distant possibility now. Marijne, too, isn't giving any false assurances. "We first have to see how this tournament goes," he says. "We will see how this combination plays and then we will see for the World Cup."
Goalkeepers: Akash Anil Chikte, Suraj Karkera; Defenders: Harmanpreet Singh, Amit Rohidas, Dipsan Tirkey, Varun Kumar, Rupinder Pal Singh, Birendra Lakra
Midfielders: Manpreet Singh (Capt), Chinglensana Singh (Vice-Capt), SK Uthappa, Sumit, Kothajit Singh
Forwards: SV Sunil, Akashdeep Singh, Mandeep Singh, Lalit Kumar Upadhyay, Gurjant Singh.

Casebook #004 Date: 01/26/2013
Decker Residence
Bryce Martin, Taylor Keysor, Mike Leppek, Jordan Laforest, Jon Girvan.
Voice recorders, full spectrum camera and light, infrared camera and light, EMF meter, KII meter, infrared thermometers, and DVR system with four cameras.
The Decker family has lived there for nine years. The property originally belonged to a man named Mr. Kindle, who they believe may still be there. They experience "poltergeist" activity such as rotten smells, or a spirit moving Mrs. Decker's shoes around in her closet. Other items also get moved around in the house. Mrs. Decker has heard various voices around the house, as well as tapping in different locations in the house. They have had interactions with objects such as the stove's setting being changed or the coffee pot being unplugged. Mr. Decker also claims that his wedding ring was moved on him at one point. The house is new and they are the first residents to live in it.
Summary of Investigation:
We started our investigating at 9:00 pm. Mike and Jordan began in Mrs. Decker's room while Bryce and Jon started in the computer room. Taylor was watching the stationary cameras on the monitor at this time. Jordan and Mike didn't seem to be having much luck with activity, however Jon and Bryce obtained some interesting KII hits, which they later debunked mostly to electric disturbances. After going through some EVP work, the team regrouped. Jon and Taylor went into Mrs. Decker's room while Bryce and Jordan remained in the computer room. Mike took over the job as watching the still camera monitor. Other than a few odd KII hits, there were no further experiences from either group. Mike, however claimed he had seen strange activity on the DVR system outside. After regrouping once more, Mike and Bryce headed outside where they received no activity. Jordan and Jon investigated the kitchen area where they received no activity either, while Taylor resumed watching the monitors. After Bryce and Mike came back inside, they regrouped once more. Mike and Jon then went into Mrs. Decker's room while Taylor and Jordan took the computer room. Bryce took his shift watching the stationary monitors. Jon and Mike received some interesting KII hits in the bedroom/bathroom. Taylor and Jordan received no activity. After regrouping once more Bryce took Jon and Jordan to do some EVP work in the computer room where they once again received KII hits. After this, they let the equipment run for ten more minutes and then wrapped up. As they were wrapping up Bryce, as well as Jon, received a few more odd KII hits.
Evidence Collected During the Investigation:
During the investigation we obtained thirteen EVPs. However, one was debunked upon revealing the evidence to the clients. The first one occured while we were setting up; Taylor told Bryce to give the team tasks. The EVP seems to say "give me a task." The next EVP was a whispering voice caught during the investigation. The third EVP was caught after Mike said "if there's a spirit here." There is a voice that seems to respond to him saying, "maybe." The fourth EVP was caught after Taylor talks to our clients, and the EVP appears to say "I see." The fifth and sixth EVPs occured during the investigation in Mrs. Decker's room. One appears to say "I see you" while another is a slight whispering that some investigators think appears to say "right there." The next EVP is after Jordan asks "do you need me to hold the flashlight?" A voice appears to say "I can get it." The eighth EVP is very faint but it appears to say "Mike." The next EVP is another intelligent response. Bryce asks Jordan if she saw a picture, and a voice appears to say "did I?" The tenth EVP immediately follows a dog barking outside and appears to say "The dogs crazy." This particular EVP was debunked at the reveal of evidence as the client, Mrs. Decker's voice. The next EVP appears to say a couple different things, and is still up for interpetation. We think it says either "Mike," or "oh I see." The twelfth EVP is also faint but we think it says "the church." The thirteenth and final EVP seems to be responding to what Taylor says and it says "yeah." Along with twelve EVPs, we also caught one video on the still camera in the kitchen. It's very fast and is outside in the window, but we did slow it down and it appeared to be a figure moving outside the window. Whats really interesting is the camera out on the deck did not catch this and upon looking at all four cameras, all the investigators are inside. Moreso, Taylor and Mr. Decker were watching the DVR camera screen at this time, so it couldn't have been contamination from an investigator.
Conclusion of Investigaton:
We believe there is an entity at this location. We also believe we have enough evidence to say it is intelligent. We would like to do some further investigating in the future before we call the location "haunted," but with the evidence we have at this point the entity does appear to have intelligence.
Any Experiences Since Investigation:
Mrs. Decker claims that since our investigation she has experienced something messing with her while shes sleeping. At about five in the morning one time she heard a voice that said, "hey Debbie." Then about a week later she heard a girls voice outside her bathroom that she claimed it said, "freezing rain."
Summary of Review:
Mike and Bryce showed up and immediately went to the back porch to try and make some sense of the apparition they caught. They decided it must have been walking down off the porch because the porch ends right at the spot, plus there's a step down there as well. After that Mike and Bryce came inside and showed them the EVPs. They were impressed with most of them. However the one that says, "the dog's crazy," they think was Mrs. Decker talking. After that they showed them the apparition and told them our conclusion of the location. The Deckers seemed impressed with our evidence, but not surprised with what we caught.
Additional Thoughts:
Interesting location a lot of good evidence with intelligent responses. MBPT would love the opportunity to come back sometime in the future.
Case Closed.

Ricky Gervais' Golden Globes monologue.
Did they not do a run through before it went to air? No one looks to happy/ willing to laugh. Which makes it even better.
Great timing at work this morning for a mid-morning boredom hit, plenty of red carpet action to pour over. Lots of green. Lots of colour. Somehow still lots of boring. Nicole Kidman I am talking to you! And Angelina, perhaps you have listened to my shouts of BORING over the years at your black/ cream sheaths, but in long sleeved green you still look the same. How? And are you OK?

Despite summerswoon, still plentyto see and do
It is very challenging to attract new-visitor business to a region during late August, with so many families tuned into back to school mode.
However, the past two weeks have had some major accomplishments for our region. First, I want to give a nod to the city of Alton and the organizing committee for the American Legion Great Lakes Midwest Championship Baseball Series. Eight teams came from five states to play some of the best high school baseball around. The committee and everyone involved rolled out the welcome mat to impress.
Alton and Lloyd Hopkins Field at Gordon Moore Park truly glistened with pride during this tournament, thanks to investments from the city of Alton and a vision from the tournament organizers. This field will become a nice refreshed venue for many new events in the future. In addition, the legion tourney has plans to be back next year for the same championship series.
This weekend, Gordon Moore Park will play host to 18 teams from Illinois for the Co-ed Softball Tourney, another great use of our parks providing a great number of hungry teams and fans! Head on out to enjoy some of the games and fun at the park and look for Leroy Emerick and his family out there still driving in the grand slams for our community.
Our kid-cation rallying end to summer was another great success this past week. Many of the programs sold out and had families eager to spend their last few days of summer with us. Alton Amtrak Days welcomed more than 300 people, the pirate cruises aboard Hakuna Matata sold out for their two outings. Fredbird made a big impact at The Cookie Factory and the Frozen princesses brought in more than 500 people to the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower. All in all, kid-cation was a great success! We are still tallying the impact and overnights, but we are already planning for an expanded 2016 for this 10 day week before school starts in 2016.
Today debuts a new event for Alton for all the craft beer lovers, Rock The Hops. From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. today you can lose yourself in the flavors of local beers and listen to the tunes from many different types of band throughout multiple venues in Downtown. Hop on down and rock to the tastes of downtown. There is also a great walk at Liberty Bank Amphitheater on Sunday for the Spirit of '45 walk hosted by the Alton Parks & Recreation Department and Senior Services Plus at 7 p.m. Come down and enjoy the beautiful riverfront and weather.
This weekend also ends the record -reaking week for the Nina and Pinta at the Loading Dock in Grafton. Thousands of people have come to tour these ships and enjoy our great rivers region. Pere Marquette Lodge is also hosting a Cajun Beer Garden on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Check out all the details at www.VisitAlton.com anytime you want to explore something new in this region.

"BBF" Power Sharing in the "New Cyprus Federation"
The Turkish Cypriots claim that they need "safeguards" in any New Cyprus Government and also have a say so in decision making for their future so that the the majority (GC's) does not push their will on the minority (TC's). This can be achieved if we were to follow some basic Democratic methods practised by the Americans in their running of the Government. For this Federation to work in Cyprus, there has to be certain condition met in order to be successful, therefore compromises need to be made, particularly about land sizes for each state which will be in the New Federation Cyprus. We will discuss the land issues later. Also, for this method to work , almost all of the TC's will need to live in their northern "TC" state.
Unlike the United States where power is shared between political parties based on ideology and not ethnicity, ethnicity power share will be the case in Cyprus, but fortunately, the same democratic principle can apply to power share based on ethnicity for the foreseeable future until the nation of Cyprus is ready and politically mature to rule herself based on ideology and not on ethnicity.
The "political equality" only means one man one vote but for the TC's, they claim in needing "equal power" as it was described in the 1959 Zürich Agreements as a means of "safeguard". Although those agreements were undemocratic, the BBF agreed for a solution for Cyprus can give the TC's "equal power" that comes with True Federation all the same, because all the states in a Federation government enjoy equal representation in the Federal legislator ( Upper House only) where bills are passed to govern the country's business.
Federal Government
Federal Government will have it's own constitution where the constitutional protections for all citizens will be installed . The Federal Constitution will be the law of the land and cannot be overridden by any state constitution written by the north and the south states. Federal Laws will be supreme and protected by the Supreme courts should these Federal Constitution Laws be challenged by individual state or the Upper and Lower House representatives in trying to pass laws that will be in violation of these Federal Laws.. However, Federal laws does not interfere with state laws as long as state laws do not breach any of the Federal Laws. Each state will run their own state as they please within the Federal Laws. This is very important, that states cannot violate any citizens rights by implementing their own laws that would violate the Federal Laws. This is why, any and all concerns of "safeguards" that the TC's or the GC's may have, is to have them in the new constitution which cannot be changed unless the constitution is amended, and to amend the constitution, we will have a system where both state will need to approve it.
Federal State Governments
Federal state Governments, both south and north will operate almost as if they are a sovereign nations, but under the umbrella of the Federal Government. Federal States will have control of all institutions within their state, except for Federal institutions, such as Ports, Federal Land and Parks etc, etc, etc.!. However, they will not be able to make any International policies or act outside Federal Governments International Policies. Each Federal States will also have their own State Constitutions and their own State Senate in writing laws and passing bills, their own Supreme Court, and their own leader, in the form of a Governor.
Amending Federal and state Constitutions
To amend the Federal Constitution, both states will need to approve it by 75% majority voted by the state legislators. To amend the state constitution, approved by simple majority of those citizens from that particular state.
Upper and Lower Houses
There will be 2 Houses in the government to pass bills before the President can sign them into law. The elected members of the Lower and the Upper Houses will come from the 2 states in the Federation. The number of members in the Lower House is base purely on the size of the population in each of the 2 states. The Upper House will have exact same number of members from each state regardless of their population size.
Just for the purpose of this exercise I'm going to use the following numbers to show how to work this system of power sharing Democratically. Lower House will have 50 seats and the Upper House will have 10 seats.
Just for practical purposes, lets just say that the north state will have 20% of the population of Cyprus ( TC citizens) and the south state will have 80% of the population of Cyprus (GC citizens). This would give the north state 10 seats and the south 40 seats in the Lower House based on these population numbers. The Upper House will have equal members from each state, therefore 5 seats for the north and 5 seats for the south states. Let me make this very clear that these seats in the Upper and Lower Houses are given to the 2 states and not to each community. These seats belong to the states and not the ethnic groups. The fact that the north state will be mostly TC's and the south state will be mostly GC's, will by default utilize these seats as their own is another matter, but the seats are only given to the states as a matter of allocation in a Federation system, and nothing more.!
President and Vice President
According to the 1960 Constitution in Cyprus, the President has to be a GC and the Vice President to be a TC. At the present talks, it has been suggested to have a "rotating Presidency", where a GC will serve for a while, then a TC, and then a GC and so on. I would even suggest that every Presidential candidate and their Vice Presidential nominee run together as one ticket, so that they are both supported by the people from all the communities. The reason why I bring this up, is because, it is to be part of the power sharing to work with checks and balances that will be explained later, so that the TC's will not need to have a Veto Power rights as before. So lets take it for granted, that there will be a GC and a TC in the positions of a President and a Vice President. The Vice President does not have any executive powers however, but is only a ceremonial position as well as being next in line to be the President should the current President dies or is removed from office.
Selecting the Lower and Upper House Representatives
The Lower House Representatives will be elected from the districts from both the states. There will be 40 districts in the south and 10 districts in the north. Only those living (citizens) in those districts can vote for the House members running in those districts. For the Upper House Representatives, 5 members each for both states, can only run state wide without districts, therefore all citizens from the north can vote to elect their 5 Senators , and the south will also do the same to elect their 5 Senators.
To vote on a bill
In order to vote on a bill in the Lower and the Upper House, certain procedures will need to take place. Bills can be introduced by both the Houses as well as the Executive branch, the President. The bill will need to pass both the Houses by a simple majority before it can be signed into law by the President. This is how it will work.
A bill is drafted by a member of the House. The Speaker of the House will decide to introduce the bill to be voted or not in the Lower House. The speaker of the House will be from the south since they will have the majority with 40 seats, but he or she will not vote on any bills, unless there is a tie, and then they will cast the tie breaking vote. If the bill is introduced to be voted on, then the bill will be voted on by the 49 members in the LH. Only those members who are present and cast a vote will be counted, and if the majority approve, then the bill will go to the Upper House for their vote.
The upper house is where the power is 50-50 between the north and south state. If the bill is not what the TC's want, this is where they can block it from passing, if the Vice President is a TC, because the Vice President gets to vote only if there is a tie, and if the bill is tied at 5 v 5, then the TC vice President can break the tie by voting NO on the bill and that will be the end of it unless the Upper House can make some changes to please the other sides concerns, and if that is done, it will be sent to the Lower House to be voted on once again , and if passed there, then it will go to the President to sign it. If the Vice President was a GC and casts the tie breaking vote to a YES vote, then the President would be a TC, in which case, he would not sign it into law and the bill will just fail to materialize. If a bill does pass both the Houses and the President refuses to sign it, then the Upper House can overturn the President's veto by having 6 out of 10 voting to over rule the President and the bill will go forward. In this round of voting, the Vice President will NOT be voting. This is where the main "safeguards" for the TC's are protected without ever needing a veto vote power.
Bills introduced for voting in the Upper and the Lower Houses are mainly on Federal level matters and not what goes on in individual states, therefore bills passed will effect all citizens and not one state over the other. Most bills will pass after some "Horse Trading" is done between the members of the both Houses, but if a bill is likely to harm one state over the other, then both the south and the north have a way to block it in the Upper House, either by a tie breaking vote by the Vice President or a direct veto by the President, therefore both states have a protection built in, in the Upper House. This is how Federation USA style can be used by Cypriots.
How much land for each Federal States
As I said from the beginning, there needs to be compromises made on land, if the above power sharing to work. In order for the TC's to maintain all of their seats and 50% power in the Upper House, almost all the TC's will need to be in the north state, and far less GC's in the same state. If we take the present land sizes in the north and the south and kept it that way, within a short period of time, the TC's will lose one or two Upper House seats to the GC's if 200,000 GC's (refugees) move to the north where their land is and where they once lived. There will be no other way to overcome this than giving most of the GC land back to them in the north. Do not forget, that being in the EU, there will be complete freedom of movement, therefore neither state will be able to prevent any citizen from living where ever they want. If the TC's on the other hand lived almost only on their land and made that to be their state in the north, then most of the 200,000 GC refugees will be on the southern state if they returned to their properties in what is the "trnc" today. It may well be, that the north state may not all be in one piece, but in 2 or 3 pieces. Also, it is possible, that some of the GC land given back may also be in large parcels and not actually connected to the southern state. For instance, Kokkina will remain part of the northern state, but will be a separate parcel of land than the rest of the northern state. Same if the Karpaz region was returned, that it may be a separate parcel of land than the rest of the southern state. Again, compromises needs to be made. For the TC's, they need to maintain their population in one state and land that they own, or else they will risk losing their Upper House 50% power to the GC's, because they will also be able to vote and run for office in the state that they live in where they pay their taxes to the local government. There is no way to prevent this from happening if the TC's do not give back substantial land back to the GC's. I can't stress this point enough.

is still trying
to make up it's mind...
Oh Judy! Those are so sweet and dear. That was wonderful that you could do something that you loved and stay home with your kids. I had a friend that had a kiln and she did dolls and taught doll classes for years-before the craze died out.
I had a big collection of sheep in the 70's & 80's that is all gone now except for a couple of small pieces. I just loved lambs. I had a huge painting of sheep on the hills. It was stored and someone broke into the warehouse and stole it! Unbelievable, isn't it?
I am sure your little lambs enjoy being back in the warmth of the fold again. Lucky babies-lucky you! xo Diana
Oh Judy, I love your definition of "Sprinter." :-D Very clever of you! This is such a sweet story; I love that you made all those ceramic animals and sold them so you could stay home with your children when they were little. I stayed home too (and pinched pennies) but I wasn't smart enough to make ceramics. My mom and sister did ceramics for many years, and I have lots of treasured items to prove it.
I just love your sheep; I have a real soft spot for sheep and lambs -- such precious animals. Your new wreath is beautiful, and I'm really glad you've brought the sheep inside to live now. :) Your house is always so charming and cozy; it makes me want to step inside and stay for a visit and a cup of tea. :) Thanks for sharing your story with us; I always enjoy your posts!
Big hugs,
Denise at Forest Manor
Your lambs are adorable, I have never seen any like them before. They look cute everywhere you have put them. You are so fortunate to live where you can occasionally see real sheep in a meadow, how wonderful!ReplyDelete
Those are some beautiful lambs, Judy! I can't believe you made them! What a treasure to still have them as family members after all these years! Kind of like kids, you created them and kept them :) Blessings to you!ReplyDelete
They are just adorable. No matter where you have them, they look great and just fit right in.ReplyDelete
I love those lambs ! They are darling! They look great anywhere!ReplyDelete
Hi Judy, what a darling post. I love your darling lambs. They look sweet in every vignette.I love the size. You are so talented and used your abilities to design from home. I can so relate.
Thank you for sharing and your wonderful pics.
Hugs, CM
I really enjoyed this adorable post...the lambs are so precious.
I have a whimsical print of a cow...pigs...and I've searched thru tons of Etsy shops to find a cute lamb print. Haven't found one that speaks to me yet.....
I love your lambs, they are darling. All of your photos are so good. I used to love to paint statuary and still have many thing that I did. Would come home from work and paint - I loved pigs and enjoyed painting so much. It's hard to find statuary to paint anymore.
I like the lambs on the table with your beautiful flower arrangement. Hopefully Spring is just around the corner.
Have a great rest of the week.
Love love those sweet lambs and that you have kept them all these years. Looking forward to spring here too as if is very much just winter right now. Have a great week!ReplyDelete
OMG!!! I absolutely have fallen in love with those sweet lambs!! I LOVE your front porch too!!
What a beautiful post filled with so much eye candy!!
Judy these little lambs are the most darling things I have ever seen! I can't believe you made them 40 years ago. Glad you are having Sprinter because old man Winter is hanging on here! Love seeing all of your beautiful signs of spring. So happy you will be stopping by tonight to link up this sweet post to Share Your Style. See you tonight at the party!
XO Barbara
I love the little lambs and how sweet that you made them and they have been with you so long. I love love love this time of Sprinter (if I might steal your fabulous word) - the trees are beginning to flower all over town and daffodils are blooming - and the skies are blue again today. Your photos and decorations are all so sweet.ReplyDelete
I'm a sheep love like you Judy and yours are so awesome. I love how they have been used in your home over the seasons and even when left out in the snow :) I loved the photos of the sheep in their pasture and behind the fence.
We seem to be in the middle of a Sprinter as well.
sending hugs...
Sprinter, I like that Judy! That's cute. What a sweet flock you shared with us. Loved all the vignettes but especially liked the one on the dresser, very cute!
Sending hugs,
Hi Judy,
I love your lambies! Sheep always remind me of my much loved mom-in-law Ethel. She is gone now but every time I see them, it brings back such wonderful memories of her to me. We were kindred spirits and I miss her every day. I even have a Pinterest board named "Sheep for Ethel". Thanks for the lovely reminder today. Happy Weekend to you!
Linda at Beautiful Ideas
My dear Judy, "Sprinter" is perfect and it's certainly "Sprinter" here. Last week it was in the 50's with beautiful sunshine....today it's snowing :)
Your little lambs are so cute! Thanks for sharing at ROI. Happy weekend to you!
Love the vignette of lambs and the pom pom wreath. I like how you have the house lantern and basket of greenery at the base, very nice.
It's still winter here in my neck of the woods, I do like snow and looks like my wish for it was heard.
Oh Sprinter...perfect term. I think we all need to petition for it to be made into the 5th season.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave such kind words about my 57 shades of gray!!
Your little lambs are so sweet and have such a lovely history. Soon the lambs will be in the fields here - in fact, I expect they'll be out within the next week. I will have to be sure to have a camera with me!ReplyDelete
Hi Judy,
So many wonderful things here today..... of course the lambs, and that awesome wreath!! You always have such wonderful, and pretty posts, and this one is no exception!!
I would adore having such darling lambs!! Ha! Maybe you can go back into the ceramics business....**smile**.
So, did you buy that wreath, or make it. Pom-poms.... how perfect!!
I like you term "sprinter" and around here, that's just what we are having.
Spring is coming though... I just know it!
Lambing season is around the corner.
Have a happy day!

One can Never Let ones Guard down
April 27, 2009
Hello All my wonderful ladyes. I know i promised you yesterday that i would dedicate mondays to all forms of dess fashion, and I still intend to, but i had an incident yesterday which must be discussed.
I was at a lovely gathering of womyn, where we were drinking tea (sacred beverage of the goddess), and eating organic sandwiches (crust less, cut into triangles, sacred shape of the womyn's yoni). The table setting was was beauityful, and the conversation was sparkling. We had three types of tea, and for a while, the only way this meal could have been improved upon was if the restaurant had allowed my life partner, Anextiomarius Rose join us.
As tends to happen when a womyn such as myself lets her guard down, the warm swell of the tea and my friend's sweet laughter lulled me into a sense of false security, and I forgot that we live in a world rife with the threat of masculine danger. That is, until i went to the bathroom.
I feel a small tear welling up in my eye as i think of what happened next on this atofore lovely Sunday afternoon. As i entered the bathroom and flipped the light switch I turned. A chill ran down my spine, my feet began to sweat and my blood ran cold. This arrangement was next to the sink, facing the toilet. The patriarchy,apparently, is waiting for you around every corner, in every nook and cranny, any where that you are starting to feel safe. The sight of these two female angels, humbly facing the little kneeling choir boy was enough to loosen my lunch from my stomach, and move it into the lavender scented toilet bowl. Clearly, after washing my hands, i went out, apologized to my friends, and quickly left.

"How many items you got hun?"
These are the words of Sarah, 26, a retail assistant who is part of a demographic ranked by researchers as 'the most annoying humans of capitalist society'.
Psychologist, Dr Lawson believes she doesn't need research to prove that this brand of shop assistants are bundles of irritation.
"Shoppers tend to put up with it for the first couple of 'huns'," Dr Lawson said.
"But after five to six lines on the receiving end, it appears condescending and is enough to drive customers to neck themselves."
Sarah, who works at Dotti, says greeting customers as 'hun' is chic and voguish and that people don't understand postmodern retail culture.
"It's a unique sort of culture in our stores, different to any other place on planet earth, hun," Sarah said.
"You rarely hear 'hun' unless you shop at stores like ours, Cotton On or perhaps Factorie, hun."
On page one of Dotti's employee booklet, handed to workers when they first join the retailer, is a list of 10 recommended phrases relevant to in-store scenarios.
They all end in hun — for example Phrase 2: 'Omg, that looks absolutely stunning on you, hun!', and Phrase 7: 'Are you happy just having a look, hun?'.
"If we don't scoff cheese plates in dressing gowns, bitch about boys or watch Sex in the City with a glass of bubbles together, you have no reason to call me 'hun'," she said.

Anyway, on to today's post. I decided I'd cut up my wedding dress to make some cushions and a smaller, more wearable dress. So, I put my wedding dress on for the last time, and put the girl in it too.
She can't complain she's had no opportunity to wear it now. High-five future me!
Also, an obligatory selfie. I swear, I'm not actually all that vain. To every one photo of me there are at least twenty of my kids (true story).

This 2011 DVD features mainline freight trains battling up on one of the most steepest climbs in Northwestern railroading history. Some Clips from "844 Still Going Strong" is also included. And unfortunately, this was the Final Railway Productions video to have Lane Venardos narrating. Starting with Narrow Gauge Adventure, and Western Maryland Autumn Steam onwards the following October of 2011, Les Jarrett Himself is back in the narrating Business.
Added 2017-11-30 23:53:29 by Les Jarrett
Sadly, the reason that this is the last program that Lane narrated, is because he died shortly after the program was released. While it?s sad not to have his voice in our programs anymore, I really miss talking with my friend while we worked on these projects.

Yeah. I still love all of your own videos both on DVD and for Free Amazon On the Go prime video. This is the same Ricky Freni who I met You back in July of 2009 where I buy 3 Greg Scholl DVDs 'cause you and Greg have since been best friends starting with the 1991 NRHS convention with 765 & 1225, but you were so close to meet him at the Cumbres & Toltec's rotary Snowplow for the opening of the railroad's 1991 season but never got a chance to meet him until the following August that year. As well as a TMBV Lionel Action Boxset, and your own own video of Challenger 3985 in 2008. How did Venardos died in 2011? was he diagnosed with some un-removeable cancer failures? did he have a stroke? a heart attack? a car Crash? or gunshot wounds? I can't believe that besides you and the late Lane himself, there are also 2 more narrators in your business. In the beginning of your business, there was Eric Greene from 1986-2000, and for a short time in 2006 and early 2007 only there was Patrick Reiber. Mainly because he kept talking to fast.

I wonder if the previous two reviewers watched the same program I did. I didn't think there was nearly enough narration. There were printed squibs naming towns trains were passing through with elevations, but even that wasn't true in all cases. One train had a car which appeared to have a hot box as smoke was pouring from one of its trucks, yet nary a word about it. I watched it in Blue Ray and I don't think even that was used to its fullest in a countryside which was made for Blue Ray. On balance a so-so DVD, IMO.

If you have not heard of Fiorella de Maria before, let me introduce you to her: she's an up-and-coming author who has my attention. Her last book, Poor Banished Children, was one I loved last summer.
This summer, she has just released Do No Harm, about a British doctor who finds himself facing assault and battery charges after saving a patient's life. It covers topics I am praying about and pretty sick-to-my-stomach about, topics I don't really know how to handle and things I don't ever want to read about.And yet I did. Because they are within the context of a story that gripped me from the beginning
The topic: the legal battleground that the emergency room can (and has?) become. The situation: a British doctor saves a patient's life and is faced with criminal charges. The conclusion: oh, wait, I can't tell you that!
The characters are flawless, the writing is beautiful (though not pandering or flowery). There are twists and turns, and I can say with no duplicity that I was shocked at the end. This book is top of its class. It's not only fun and compelling to read, it's a brain-turner that makes you think and consider.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
I've posted an excerpt in my Book Notes column today at CatholicMom.com, so if you want to read a sample, be sure to stop over.
