Want another but scared
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-26-2010 - 2:37am
Just wondering, are you all 100 percent gung-ho about TTC ? I am 47 and I keep hearing from my OB/GYN and other people who "care" about me, that I am risking having a baby that will make me a caretaker for life b/c of developmental issues, chromosomal abnormalities, etc...
I will say this, if I were to conceive and things were going fine, I would get a amnio, like I did when I was pregnant for my son at 45. So, I would know about that stuff BEFORE the birth.
But, I am hearing horror stories about women dying in childbirth at older ages. I have a 20 month old that will depend on me being around for a while. I cannot die !! LOL
I have also been told that I am selfish; only thinking about my wants and needs. Anyone else been told that? They say, "Your child will be without parents when he is raising his own. Do you want that for him or her?"
Then, I went to a work conference the other day and met women from all over the country at lunch. I was telling the group of ladies that I had a son that was 20 mos. old and that I had him at 45 (naturally - oopsie baby). They all looked at me like I was crazy. One even said, "Poor you! There goes your retirement for his college."
The one that made me think was a woman who said her mother had her sister at 42 and her at 44. She said she loved her parents dearly and that they were good parents. But, she cautioned that her mother died at 81 and never got to see her kids grow up. She said her kids were too little and don't really remember her. She said I only got 37 yrs. with my mom. Then, she got tears in her eyes.
I said, "So you don't think people should have children in their 40's? She said, "Children, even grown children need to have parents in their lives." She said, "I got married late at 36 and she never got to see me live out my life. I am now 52. I have a sister and that is all the family I have left. Your son will be left with no one when you are gone."
Guess I am just having medical and emotional second thoughts. Will I end up regretting it if I am to have another? Will my child/children feel the same way this woman did? Is it selfish of us to want to do this and not consider the child? HELP....

I literally lose sleep over this (hence this post at 1:20 AM!). My daughter (7) is an only and DH and I are in our mid 40s. I am not sure whether *I* want another but I would love for her to have a sibling. It makes me so sad when I see the close bond her friends have with their siblings. I wish I could give that to her but I'm just not sure I'm up to the job!
Good luck!

No one wants to lose their parents, ever. I bet if you had asked this woman, "Do you wish you Mom never had you" she would of course say no. Because really, that is the option.
I have friends who have lost their parents at very young ages. In fact my own Dad lost his biological father when very young to a trucking accident. he is an only child, too. You never know what will happen. I do think though, that as an older parent, you do have an added responsibility to your children to take good care of your own health...don't smoke or take other unnecessary health risks, don't drink to excess, exercise, eat right, etc. So you can live healthy as long as possible. If you have another child, they will not be "all alone" when you are gone...siblings help.
As for defects, there is a high risk at age 47. If termination after poor prenatal diagnosis is not an option for you, you should think carefully about whether it is worth this risk- how it would affect you, your marriage, your other children, and the child's own suffering. If you give birth at age 48, your risk for all trisomies at birth is 1 in 10. Now that's a 90% chance of a chromosomally normal baby, but a 10% risk is nothing to sneeze at.
Any pregnancy carries a small risk of maternal death, at any age, even with good maternal care. As for your own health, if you are in good health (normal blood pressure, no diabetes, etc.), and your doc doesn't forsee a high risk of dangerous complications, I wouldn't worry too much about this, except to take extra good care of your health/diet while pg, and to get great prenatal care. Most complications can be treated. Though if you would not terminate a pregnancy even to save your own life, then perhaps having another child is not a good idea for your existing little one.

My mom died at 71 of pancreas cancer. Some people die in their 50s from heart attacks. I had a roommate die at 39 from cancer. NO ONE KNOWS when they're going to die. So, that lady's comments were really silly.
That said, I would say that you should be super healthy if you do decide to get pregnant. And, odds are against you. Also remember that people are much more healthy and have access to much more sophisticated medicine than 30-40 years ago.
I say stop agonizing and just try it out and see if you can even get pregnant.
hope that helps, martha

Rachelle, I agree with Ruth, it is your life and you need to do what is right for you. There are definitely no guarantees in life, but we cannot live our lives in fear of what might be either. Look at it this way, if you do have another, then your 20 month old son would have a sibling close to his own age, and that alone I think is worth something. I am 45 and I do struggle with this issue frequently, but have decided that what will be will be and if we don't have any more then I need to accept that, and if we do have another then others will need to accept that! I also worry about the developmental issue, but again, I have decided that if that is what God has for us then He will also give us the strength we need to care for that child. I do still worry though. ;-)
Since I am the youngest in my family and then faced infertility for many years, even my oldest children likely won't have any grandparents by the time they get to their 20s, unlike my nieces and nephews who are already there. It does make me sad, but there is little I can do about that. I have already lost my Dad, and I expect it won't be that long before we lose more. I really don't think you are being selfish at all, I think the people who say these things just have a very narrow view of how things should be when it comes to having children.

{ Joulupulla :: Finnish Christmas buns }
Posted by Julia Tuomainen under Baking, Bread
[8] Comments
I love a good plan. My life is full of them . . . and lists and spreadsheets and to-do's.
So when a spanner is thrown into my planning works, I have a tendency to get a little jumpy and anxious when things are in jeopardy.
My plan this Christmas was to trial run a few Finnish Christmas treats (to surprise my Finnish father-in-law, who was visiting baby Mélanger for the first time), then bake a few favourites on Christmas Eve (THE day to celebrate Christmas in Finland).
Good news is I successfully completed all my trial runs.
Bad news is on the morning of Christmas Eve, we blew a fuse and knocked out all the electricity in the house.
Not only did we have two fridge/freezers plus a deep freeze FULL of food, but more importantly, we had no oven!
Whilst Mr Mélanger and his father were out off to stock up on ice (if we needed to transfer food from the fridges), I was aimlessly staring at the kitchen completely puzzled how I was going to complete my festive baking tasks.
No electricity also means no internet, and no way to look up the name of an electrician. So after a few "phone a friend" calls to my mum and sister-in-law, we manage to gather a big list of electricians in the area. With luck, we finally managed to contact someone who not only answered their phone on Christmas Eve, but actually turned up to the house at the stated time.
In the end, we were about 6 hours behind schedule, and with a deck full of company arriving in only a few short hours, I did manage to whip up a batch of Joulupulla for my father-in-law for our well deserved afternoon coffee break. The smell of the bread baking immediately brought back memories for him, and he eagerly taste tested these almost straight out of the oven.
For my trial batch (the images shown here), in addition to the traditional cardamom flavoured Joulupulla, I also created a saffron flavoured bun as a little nod to the old Swedish influences in Finland.
{ Joulupulla :: Finnish Christmas buns }
This is really just a basic pulla dough shaped into the special festive shape. I have made pulla more times than I can remember, and I have ultimated adapted this recipe from a few different sources (Beatrice Ojakangas, the Nordic Bakery Cookbook plus my friend Celina Laaksonen). My father-in-law mentioned his mother's pulla was less sweet, but he preferred the extra sugar in this recipe. So feel free to experiment!
* Ingredients *
250ml whole milk
7g active dry yeast
85g caster sugar
3g salt
7g ground cardamom (or to taste)
1 egg, beaten
450g-500g plain flour
75g butter, melted and cooled
1 egg, beaten to glaze
Sultanas/raisins to decorate
* Directions *
Warm milk in a small saucepan until it comes to the boil, then allow to cool until it reaches about 45C. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk. Add one teaspoon of sugar and let stand for 5 minutes until yeast foams. To the yeast, stir in the remaining sugar, salt, cardamom, egg and enough flour to make a batter (about 150-200g). Beat until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add half of the remaining flour and beat well. Add the melted butter and stir well. Beat again until the dough looks glossy. Stir in the remaining flour until the dough is stiff (you may not need all the flour). Turn the dough out of the bowl onto a floured surface, cover with an inverted mixing bowl, and let rest for 15 minutes. Knead the dough until smooth and satiny. Place in a lightly greased mixing bowl, and turn the dough to grease the top. Cover with a clean dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours. Punch down, and let rise again until almost doubled. About 1 hour. Turn out again on to a floured surface, and divide into 12 parts weighing about 80g each. Roll each piece into a 15cm strand. Then, with a sharp knife split both ends one third of the way towards the centre. Then curl up each of the ends. Place the buns onto baking sheets lined with greaseproof paper. Let rise for 30 minutes. Brush each bun with egg wash and dot with raisins/sultanas in the curled ends. Bake at 180C for 15-18 minutes. Check occasionally — because the bottom can brown easily.

That sounds like a difficult start to the Christmas festivities! However what delicious looking buns! Interesting that there is only 85g sugar and yet, your FIL commented that his mum's were less sweet! I think they would be wonderful! Happy New Year!
Wow – kudos to you for creating buns in the face of such electrical and culinary mayhem !!!!
oh dear ! it certainly sounds like a christmas miracle in what could have been a nightmare. (you know your spreadsheet, to-do list loving friend here started to panic whilst reading the above ! ) electricity was back on and you baked up a few outstanding, delicious and traditional recipes that i bet made grandpa mélanger (and mr. mélanger) beyond touched and proud. bravo ! =)
Delicious looking buns!
I hope you had a lovely Xmas.
I'm so sorry to hear about all that trouble! It seems we live in a small world – we lost all our electrics yesterday – 11 hours without any power!
But. Your Joulupulla looks absolutely amazing!!! I just love those golden spirals! Wow.
It's still raining here in Finland – blah.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Ah Julia! these are beautiful! am so glad things sort of worked out but I imagine your FIL would have been more than touched by the thought for making this Christmas extra special for him! )
Hugs and wish very Happy Holidays!!
What a nightmare! Pleased to read that you kept it together and with your usual brilliance pulled together a feast no doubt.
I love how cute these look! Happy holidays, Julia!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UTSports.com) – University of Tennessee Lady Vol head basketball coach Pat Summitt announced this afternoon that redshirt freshman post Faith Dupree intends to transfer after the fall semester.
"This was Faith's decision to leave the program," Summitt said. "She told me she wants to play basketball at a school where she can have an impact right away.
"I support her choice and wish her nothing but continued success both on and off the court."
The 6-3 post appeared in the first two games of the 2009-10 season before it was announced on Nov. 23, 2009, that she would redshirt her freshman year due to recurrent lower back pain. Against #7/4-ranked Baylor she logged four minutes and grabbed a rebound. In San Antonio at the ESPNU Road to the Championship, she played 18 minutes and tossed in five points, grabbed six rebounds and had three assists in 18 minutes against Texas Tech.
"I have been thinking about this all summer," said Dupree. "There is never a good time to make a decision like this, but I feel like it will be in my best interest to pursue an opportunity where I can be major contributor in the post.
"I will finish this semester at UT in order to transfer in good standing to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in January 2011."
Dupree signed with the Lady Vols in 2009 following an impressive career at the Webb School in Knoxville. During her 124-game career as a Spartan, she scored 1,724 points, snagged 802 rebounds and recorded 244 blocks to go along with 208 assists and 169 steals. Coached by former Lady Vol Shelley Sexton Collier, Dupree averaged 16.7 ppg and 7.4 rpg as senior and was selected as an honorable mention All-American by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. She earned recognition as a three-time all-state honoree (2007, 2008 and 2009) and as a member of two all-state tournament teams (2007 and 2008).

AFX FX-140 Modular Helmet review
So far it seems nice except for the latch that keeps the face shield down. It is very difficult to release and so pulling the face shield up and taking the helmet off are a little difficult and I feel like I'm going to break the plastic latch mechanism. Hopefully it'll break in.

Transforming Detroit involves everyone
By Sandra Turner-Handy
Special to the Michigan Citizen
Another year has passed and my city continues to suffer. Several notable successes, however, buoy my spirit and give me hope for the future. ! The Urban Agriculture Ordinance was passed, the Detroit Future City Strategic Framework was released, and the Detroit Environmental Agenda was completed. These accomplishments show we are on the right track.
The collaborations around these initiatives have been astounding. The numbers of people who have come together to reclaim and raise the quality of life in Detroit — residents, suits-and-ties, activists, non-profits and in some cases local government — have been staggering. It also has created camaraderie among many who have been on opposite sides of the table. These collaborations move our city forward in its transformation into a healthy, clean and safe place to live, work, play and most importantly raise our families.
The Urban Agriculture Ordinance is designed to bring uniformity around the growth of urban farming in the city. The importance of this ordinance far surpasses the zoning it provides, because it addresses the lack of access to healthy produce within the city. This is a city where fast food restaurants and liquor stores dot every other corner — a city where obesity rates have more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents. The gallant efforts of many to provide nutritious options within the city, while putting vacant land back into productive use, provides a foundation for change. The ordinance signifies health of residents is a priority as our city transforms.
The Detroit Future City Strategic Framework provides recommendations to stabilize and transform Detroit into the world class city it can once again become. The framework recommends changes in economic, city systems and environment, land use, public land and buildings, neighborhoods, and civic engagement based on the typologies of communities. Many times I speak of the depopulation of my neighborhood resulting in dangerous and vacant structures as far as the eye can see. The framework has allowed me to realize my neighborhood and thus my city may never look the way it once did, but can be developed to raise the quality of life for those of us still here and those yet to come.
The Detroit Environmental Agenda brings awareness of the various environmental issues within the City of Detroit, along with recommendations on how to improve living conditions. The agenda looks at clean air, water, energy, solid waste, healthy land, housing and neighborhoods, along with active transportation and community benefits. The recommendations call for implementation of the green initiatives, sustainable technology (i.e. environmental mandates) within the city charter. However, lack of funding in our financially troubled city has put implementation on the back burner. The agenda also recommends creation of a city of Detroit Office of Sustainability. This recommendation will bring about green initiatives from the top that will initiate all the other environmental recommendations within the agenda.
As the New Year gets underway we should remember as the city transforms there are six fundamental tools we should use: communication, education, involvement, participation, facilitation and support. These are necessary to move our successes forward and further our collaborative spirit.
Communication allows for the building of mutual trust, respect and commitment to change. Education lowers resistance to the change by providing the processes to unlearn old habits and learn new ones, while reinforcing the truth that people are our greatest assets. Involvement of all stakeholders allows for inclusion of various perspectives and ideas related to improving the city. Participation involves engaging residents and others by reinvigorating their power to plan, develop and implement change initiatives. Facilitation during transformation involves development of processes that reduce fear and anxiety related to change and support a smooth transition through transformation. Support of stakeholders during change involves investments of resources including time, energy, knowledge and finances that allow for achievement of initiatives.
Each of the recent successes involved engagement and collaboration of various stakeholders who depend on the city of Detroit as a healthy, clean and safe place to live, work, play and raise our families. As we continue to transform the city we should realize the hard work ahead will be made easier through the collaboration of residents, suits-and-ties, activists, non-profits and others whose love for and commitment to the city of Detroit makes them the change agents that will transform us into the world class city we know it to be.
Sandra Turner-Handy is the community outreach director for the Michigan Environmental Council and a member of the Detroit Food Policy Council.

Legislative Priorities Update for the week of April 22.
Choose People Over Big Corporations
We are entering the last week of the regular 2013 legislative session. In our last update we told you about the efforts of the Republican controlled Senate to erode the paid sick leave standard we helped pass in Seattle. While, this attack on worker rights passed the Senate, it did not even get a hearing in the House of Representatives and as of now it looks like our sick leave law in Seattle will remain fully intact! While we are working to extend paid sick leave to all workers in Washington through legislation and bargaining, fights like this remind us that some lawmakers and many of our employers want to take away the sick leave we have earned. We will remain vigilant to ensure we move forward on paid sick leave, not backwards.
The legislature is now hard at work negotiating a final budget agreement. Once again, we are presented with a stark difference in values from our elected leaders.
The Senate Republicans have proposed a budget that involves deep cuts to Housing & Essential Needs, $28 million from programs serving homeless families and deep cuts to child care funding for low income families. All these cuts, and not one proposed cut to corporate tax loopholes.
In the State House, however, they are proposing a budget that funds human services and our education system and would end outdated tax loopholes that don't benefit anyone but big business. We think it is time that corporations in our state are asked to pay their fair share and we can do this by ending unnecessary tax loopholes.
We know big business is lobbying to keep their tax loopholes. If we want a balanced approach to the budget your legislator needs to hear from you!
Leave a message for your elected officials:
"Choose people over big business by passing a
|2013 State Legislative Agenda
Decisions made by elected officials - whether it is in the State Capital or Washington D.C., directly impact the lives and paychecks of UFCW 21 members, and their families, and communities.
That's why UFCW 21 has a political program focused on people-power. We have worksite protection laws (like minimum wage and workers comp) or laws like the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) that help us live better, due to workers standing up and pushing for them - together.
What is people-powered politics?
As a non-partisan group (we don't care whether a person is Republican or Democrat, Independent or non-partisan), UFCW 21 makes sure that working people have a greater say in politics. People-powered politics does the following:
- Trains & empowers leaders to lobby their own legislators on issues like breaks, worker rights, health care, and many others.
- Interviews and makes focused endorsements of candidates who stand up for working family issues, and makes endorsements of some state and local ballot measures.

House Makes Stink Bug Public Pest No. 1
No, not this one
This one:
WA Examiner
Facing federal warnings that this summer's stink bug invasion will be the worst ever, House lawmakers have OK'd a bill demanding that the Agriculture Department make the bug Public Pest No. 1 and speed efforts to kill it.
On Thursday, the House included language in a spending bill that directs Agriculture to prioritize ways to combat stink bugs, poised to wreak disaster in the nation's fruit and vegetable fields later this summer. The stink bug has reached 39 states.
"Whether you have a home herb garden or acres of farmland, we can all agree that the pervasive problem of stink bug infestation needs to be tackled head-on," said Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf, the plan's sponsor. "The apple industry in the Mid-Atlantic states has lost tens of millions of dollars to these pests, and they threaten the vineyards that are an important part of Virginia's economy," he said. MORE

Which one is it again?+4
Which one smells worse when you squish them underfoot?
And wouldn't it be great to find that out for sure ?+4
One pest has reached 39 States, the other one has damaged all 57.Noteworthy Comment +11
In the 1970s, during Governor Moonbeam's first reign of error, he wouldn't override any municipality that did not want to spray Malathion to kill the Medfly. It was Death from the skies! and The new DDT! and other such libtard bullshit. Despite the fact that Malathion is an organic phosphate insecticide, C 10 H 19 O 6 S 2 P, of relatively low toxicity for mammals.
Realizing that CA was going to lose its agriculture industry because no other state would allow CA produce within its borders, the spraying started. And there were no deaths. No no birth defects. Nothing. Except dead bugs.
Libtards have a long history of stupidity concerning pesticides.+9
Anonymous, whose real name is known to the NSA, will be getting his audit notice shortly.+4
Too late, the White House and Capitol Building are already infested with them.+5
@ Stranded
Absolutely. DDT not only save crops, I was under the impression that it actually saved lives in 3rd world countries. Places that had disease issues because of mosquitos and flies. Until it was "outlawed".
I could be wrong and maybe I'm believing an old wive's tail…..+6
@Tragic, funny you should ask. Read this:

Thank you Anonymous.
I knew I had heard that somewhere. Couldn't remember where.
We abort babies and allow disease to run rampant to save some animals.
Oh…and I meant Wive's tale. The only "wife tail" I care about is my wife's tail.+5

It's all about the optics. Or the "audiotics", if you are referencing the saxophone player. (That's not the proper word, but it sounds satisfyingly like "idiotic". Which all of this is.)+3
Wasn't there a big problem with flies at the White House last year? Maybe there will be a stink bug infestation this year?+3
@123321123321 — The stink bugs got there on January 20, 2009.+4
If stinkbugs are attracted to stink, is it a surprise the nation's capital is infested?+3
No, the shitheads in Congress is public pests No. 1.+2
Oui, dans l'ensemble cela résume très bien le sujet…0

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, is our West Coast Keynote. Her dissertation looked at factors in the learning environment that lead to improved learning. Her answer: collaboration, inquiry-based learning, and a supportive teacher. Her intervention students were at-risk students who had failed at least 2 classes and had absenteeism issues. Moss's task: create a learning environment that would provide success for these students.
STEM. For her efforts, her students "made it" because she knew what they needed via help for success. The essential question is how can we empower suburban students at risk to achieve success in science.
professional development in a two-to-three year timeline. There is just not enough time to make the changes, but technology is a critical piece. And here's the aha moment: Moss used Discovery Education. It was the quickest thing to a silver bullet she could find for her teachers and students. "It's the highest quality I've ever seen." It's engaging, has online resources, has the power of media and this is how our kids think, so it's the way we should teach. She cites that the videos and clips show relevant real-world learning. Moss has a team of students who work as experts who help the teachers in the classroom. She cites how empowering this experience is for students.

TAL International Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results And Declares $0.62 Quarterly Dividend
"Our market environment continues to allow us to achieve a great mix of high utilization, high profitability and strong growth. We have continued to benefit from solid trade growth this year, despite the weak economies in developed countries, and the container supply / demand balance remains in our favor due to our customers' ongoing reluctance to invest in large numbers of new containers while they are struggling with weak freight rates and high fuel prices. The decrease in our shipping line customers' direct container purchases is also allowing us to continue to achieve a high rate of investment and growth in a moderate trade growth environment. Through October 24, TAL has purchased over $800 million of new and sale leaseback containers, leading to nearly 18% growth in our revenue earning assets through the end of the third quarter. Roughly three quarters of these containers have been firmly committed to lease transactions, and we expect continued leasing revenue growth in the fourth quarter as our remaining committed containers go on-hire."
Adjusted pre-tax income (1) was $149.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $145.7 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusted pre-tax income per fully diluted common share was $4.45 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $4.47 for the same period in 2011.
Leasing revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $386.2 million compared to $327.0 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusted EBITDA (1), including principal payments on finance leases, was $405.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $360.0 million for the same period in 2011.
Adjusted net income (1) was $96.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $94.1 million for the same period in 2011. Adjusted net income per fully diluted common share was $2.87 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2.89 for the same period in 2011.

I love all your work, I relate with the emotion and the place it comes from. I just ordered my first piece of art ever, on a large stretched canvas. I am excited to get it in the mail!
Amazing, love how the ink looks like smoke, I love following the patterns making me feel like the image and the smoke is moving, giving it more of that life. Love it. x
I adore this so much. So much. I wish this was on a t-shirt! I would purchase it and probably wear it to death.
Great art! The title is really true, the feeling you get when you think you've only been drawing for an hour but in reality you've been drawing for many hours! Although it's fun, it's time consuming and makes you think about our perception of time.
I saw this artwork at a store and I was amazed but sad because I didn't know the artist. I'm glad I found it by browsing to the popular page of Society 6 !

Assyrian National Rights in the Middle East
The Assyrians are a distinct ethnic indigenous people that have resided in the Middle East for thousands of years. Following the growth of intolerant nationalistic and religious ideas in the 20th century, the Assyrians have suffered severe persecution and genocides at the hands of Turkish and Iraqi regimes in addition to Kurdish tribes. Following the 2003 Iraq war, Muslim extremist groups and Kurdish militias have attacked Assyrians, causing tens of thousands to flee Iraq and surrounding countries. Today, Assyrians in the Middle East struggle to preserve their presence due to religious persecution and lack of protection and political representation in local governments.

An object representing a SQL select query, which can be serialized into a SQL statement. It is easier to deal with object-wrappers than string-parsing a raw SQL-query. This object is used by the SilverStripe ORM internally.
Dealing with low-level SQL is not encouraged, since the ORM provides powerful abstraction APIs (see datamodel. Starting with SilverStripe 3, records in collections are lazy loaded, and these collections have the ability to run efficient SQL such as counts or returning a single column.
For example, if you want to run a simple
COUNT SQL statement,
the following three statements are functionally equivalent:
// Through raw SQL $count = DB::query('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "Member"')->value(); // Through SQLSelect abstraction layer $query = new SQLSelect(); $count = $query->setFrom('Member')->setSelect('COUNT(*)')->value(); // Through the ORM $count = Member::get()->count();
If you do use raw SQL, you'll run the risk of breaking various assumptions the ORM and code based on it have:
- Custom getters/setters (object property can differ from database column)
- DataObject hooks like onBeforeWrite() and onBeforeDelete()
- Automatic casting
- Default values set through objects
- Database abstraction
We'll explain some ways to use SELECT with the full power of SQL, but still maintain a connection to the ORM where possible.
Selection can be done by creating an instance of
SQLSelect, which allows
management of all elements of a SQL SELECT query, including columns, joined tables,
conditional filters, grouping, limiting, and sorting.
<?php $sqlSelect = new SQLSelect(); $sqlSelect->setFrom('Player'); $sqlSelect->selectField('FieldName', 'Name'); $sqlSelect->selectField('YEAR("Birthday")', 'Birthyear'); $sqlSelect->addLeftJoin('Team','"Player"."TeamID" = "Team"."ID"'); $sqlSelect->addWhere(array('YEAR("Birthday") = ?' => 1982)); // $sqlSelect->setOrderBy(...); // $sqlSelect->setGroupBy(...); // $sqlSelect->setHaving(...); // $sqlSelect->setLimit(...); // $sqlSelect->setDistinct(true); // Get the raw SQL (optional) and parameters $rawSQL = $sqlSelect->sql($parameters); // Execute and return a Query object $result = $sqlSelect->execute(); // Iterate over results foreach($result as $row) { echo $row['BirthYear']; }
The result of
SQLSelect::execute() is an array lightly wrapped in a database-specific subclass of
This class implements the Iterator-interface, and provides convenience-methods for accessing the data.
Deletion can be done either by calling
DB::prepared_query directly,
by creating a
SQLDelete object, or by transforming a
SQLSelect into a
object instead.
For example, creating a
SQLDelete object
<?php $query = SQLDelete::create() ->setFrom('"SiteTree"') ->setWhere(array('"SiteTree"."ShowInMenus"' => 0)); $query->execute();
Alternatively, turning an existing
SQLSelect into a delete
<?php $query = SQLSelect::create() ->setFrom('"SiteTree"') ->setWhere(array('"SiteTree"."ShowInMenus"' => 0)) ->toDelete(); $query->execute();
Directly querying the database
<?php DB::prepared_query('DELETE FROM "SiteTree" WHERE "SiteTree"."ShowInMenus" = ?', array(0));
INSERT and UPDATE can be performed using the
SQLInsert and
SQLUpdate classes.
These both have similar aspects in that they can modify content in
the database, but each are different in the way in which they behave.
Previously, similar operations could be performed by using the
function which would build the INSERT and UPDATE queries on the fly. This method
still exists, but internally uses
SQLUpdate /
SQLInsert, although the actual
query construction is now done by the
DBQueryBuilder object.
Each of these classes implements the interface
SQLWriteExpression, noting that each
accepts write key/value pairs in a number of similar ways. These include the following
api methods:
addAssignments- Takes a list of assignments as an associative array of key -> value pairs, but also supports SQL expressions as values if necessary.
setAssignments- Replaces all existing assignments with the specified list
getAssignments- Returns all currently given assignments, as an associative array in the format
array('Column' => array('SQL' => array('parameters)))
assign- Singular form of addAssignments, but only assigns a single column value.
assignSQL- Assigns a column the value of a specified SQL expression without parameters
assignSQL('Column', 'SQL)is shorthand for
assign('Column', array('SQL' => array()))
SQLUpdate also includes the following api methods:
clear- Clears all assignments
getTable- Gets the table to update
setTable- Sets the table to update. This should be ANSI quoted. E.g.
SQLInsert also includes the following api methods:
clear- Clears all rows
clearRow- Clears all assignments on the current row
addRow- Adds another row of assignments, and sets the current row to the new row
addRows- Adds a number of arrays, each representing a list of assignment rows, and sets the current row to the last one.
getColumns- Gets the names of all distinct columns assigned
getInto- Gets the table to insert into
setInto- Sets the table to insert into. This should be ANSI quoted. E.g.
<?php $update = SQLUpdate::create('"SiteTree"')->where(array('ID' => 3)); // assigning a list of items $update->addAssignments(array( '"Title"' => 'Our Products', '"MenuTitle"' => 'Products' )); // Assigning a single value $update->assign('"MenuTitle"', 'Products'); // Assigning a value using parameterised expression $title = 'Products'; $update->assign('"MenuTitle"', array( 'CASE WHEN LENGTH("MenuTitle") > LENGTH(?) THEN "MenuTitle" ELSE ? END' => array($title, $title) )); // Assigning a value using a pure SQL expression $update->assignSQL('"Date"', 'NOW()'); // Perform the update $update->execute();
In addition to assigning values, the SQLInsert object also supports multi-row inserts. For database connectors and API that don't have multi-row insert support these are translated internally as multiple single row inserts.
For example,
<?php $insert = SQLInsert::create('"SiteTree"'); // Add multiple rows in a single call. Note that column names do not need // to be symmetric $insert->addRows(array( array('"Title"' => 'Home', '"Content"' => '
This is our home page
'), array('"Title"' => 'About Us', '"ClassName"' => 'AboutPage') )); // Adjust an assignment on the last row $insert->assign('"Content"', '
This is about us
'); // Add another row $insert->addRow(array('"Title"' => 'Contact Us')); $columns = $insert->getColumns(); // $columns will be array('"Title"', '"Content"', '"ClassName"'); $insert->execute();
Value Checks
Raw SQL is handy for performance-optimized calls, e.g. when you want a single column rather than a full-blown object representation.
Example: Get the count from a relationship.
$sqlSelect = new SQLSelect();
$sqlSelect->setFrom('Player'); $sqlSelect->addSelect('COUNT("Player"."ID")'); $sqlSelect->addWhere(array('"Team"."ID"' => 99)); $sqlSelect->addLeftJoin('Team', '"Team"."ID" = "Player"."TeamID"'); $count = $sqlSelect->execute()->value();
Note that in the ORM, this call would be executed in an efficient manner as well:
$count = $myTeam->Players()->count();
Creates a map based on the first two columns of the query result. This can be useful for creating dropdowns.
Example: Show player names with their birth year, but set their birth dates as values.
$sqlSelect = new SQLSelect(); $sqlSelect->setFrom('Player'); $sqlSelect->setSelect('Birthdate'); $sqlSelect->selectField('CONCAT("Name", ' - ', YEAR("Birthdate")', 'NameWithBirthyear'); $map = $sqlSelect->execute()->map(); $field = new DropdownField('Birthdates', 'Birthdates', $map);
Note that going through SQLSelect is just necessary here
because of the custom SQL value transformation (
An alternative approach would be a custom getter in the object definition.
class Player extends DataObject { private static $db = array( 'Name' => 'Varchar', 'Birthdate' => 'Date' ); function getNameWithBirthyear() { return date('y', $this->Birthdate); } } $players = Player::get(); $map = $players->map('Name', 'NameWithBirthyear');

Obama's housing plan press conference
Mark Wilson/Getty Images
U. S. President Barack Obama, speaks during the White House Conference on Conservation , at the Department of the Interior, on March 2, 2012 in Washington, DC
In his first press conference of the year, President Barack Obama addressed the housing crisis facing millions of American homeowners.
His proposal is to allow those with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration to refinance at lower rates, saving the average American about $1,000 per year. He also is putting forth provisions for lenders to compensate service members and veterans who suffered through wrongful foreclosures during the crisis. During his press conference, Obama also touched on the issue of the GOP candidates who were calling on going to war with Iran over the issue of nuclear weapons.
Why has Obama waited this long to do a full press conference? What chance does his proposal have in getting signed into law? Does his plan go far enough? Too far? How will the GOP react to all this?

Retro/Grade is a game coming soon to the PlayStation 3 which feels both fresh and familiar. A mix of rhythm and the classic shoot-'em-up space shooter, it also makes use of a guitar peripheral if you so choose. One more thing – the game is played out in reverse. Sounds wild? Read on for our interview with Matt Gilgenbach, Co-Founder, 24 Caret Games.
Matt Gilgenbach: Thank you! It's been a long time in development, but hopefully gamers will appreciate all the effort we've put into Retro/Grade.
GM: There are some interesting components to this game. There's everything happening in reverse, the option to use a guitar, the rhythm-based gameplay, all in the classic shoot-'em-up package. What was brought up first? How did the other aspects of the game get included?
MG: We started with the idea that it'd be fun to play a game in reverse. When brainstorming how a game would work in reverse, we thought that a rhythm game would be a good fit because you can match the timing of something that already happened. We then realized that if you are undoing things, you'd have to match position as well, so a sidescrolling shooter constrained to lanes would work great. Finally, we thought that if we have 5 or less lanes, a guitar controller would be a perfect fit.
GM: There is a story, which I presume ends more climatically than the game well, starting. Aside from the story mode, what does the game offer? Regarding the difficulty, are my fingers going to be tied in knots near the end? Conversely, will the game present a challenge to those more familiar with rhythm games?
MG: Our story mode is really the tip of the iceberg for Retro/Grade. The meat of the game is the challenge mode. Challenge mode features a Super Mario World style map with warps and secrets that has 130 challenges and many fun rewards such as other player ships including Super Meat Boy and the ability to play the music from the game in a DJ mode. The challenges are based on the story levels, but feature fun twists such as changing tempos, differing win conditions, and more!
We have 6 difficulties for the campaign mode ranging from really easy to brutally difficult, so I think gamers should be able to enjoy the campaign game regardless of skill level. If the hardest campaign difficulty is too easy, we have some insane challenges that are even more difficult! The challenge mode covers the range of difficulties, so there will be enjoyable content for everyone there too.
GM: How big a part does music play in the game? Who composed this excellent music?
MG: Since it's a rhythm game, music is extremely important. We were fortunate to work with Skyler McGlothlin, one of my favorite musicians who did an amazing job composing music that not only sounds great but works with the game design goals.
GM: What has been the most challenging part about creating Retro/Grade? What has been the most rewarding?
MG: The most challenging part has been not losing hope for such a long development cycle. We had an ambitious vision for Retro/Grade and a small team, so it's been hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel at times. However, we never gave up because of the support of fans, which has really been the most rewarding part. To see the enjoyment on the faces of people who play the game at PAX and to hear them so excited about it has been extremely rewarding.
GM: Thank you for taking the time to speak with me! I've been looking forward to this game played in reverse.
MG: Thank you, and I can't wait for people to start playing!

To Kill or Not To Kill a Project?
In May 2008, the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), a 75,000-member organization based in Rolling Meadows, Ill., that provides certifications, training and professional development to security, audit and governance professionals, published findings from a survey taken during its North American Computer, Audit, Control and Security Conference. The survey, which polled 386 IT security, audit and governance professionals, asked two key questions:
1. Has your organization recently "killed" an IT-related project before it was fully implemented?"
2. If so, what was the primary reason the project didn't work out?
In answer to the first question, 43 percent of respondents said they had euthanized a project.
"The number of projects killed or stopped is the most significant finding here," says Mario Damianides, a partner at accounting and audit firm Ernst & Young and a former international president of ISACA and the IT Governance Institute. "Four in 10 had a major project killed or stopped. That sounds like a big wasted effort."
Hold on a minute. What about the 57 percent of projects that were not ended? Also, are we to interpret projects that were killed as a positive or negative sign of information technology practice?
"It could be seen as a positive," Damianides acknowledges. "But, if something has been effectively budgeted for in a project, you would have additional built-in funds that you could draw on as needed. What this says to me is that there is an unwillingness to eat into slush funds right now. It's almost like saying, 'We're not going to spend the money on that project.'"
When you drill a little deeper into ISACA's survey, it appears to support Damianides' assertions. It's possible that money is being reassigned from projects—or simply rescinded.
And when you combine the nearly 30 percent who answered the second question by stating that "business needs changed" with the 14 percent who answered that the project was "no longer a priority," the business air is thick with changing winds at 44 percent.
But what about all that costly work being tomahawked?
"I do believe it is a big wasted effort, but it's less of a waste than if those doomed projects had proceeded," says Will Weider, CIO of Ministry Health Care and Affinity Health System, based in Milwaukee. "Many IT organizations understand the value of their IT investments, and they know when the return is no longer worth the cost. That is much better than the state of IT 10 years ago, when nearly everything started was completed because the goal of most IT projects was to finish them."
One survey statistic seems to support Weider's contention: Twenty-three percent of projects did not deliver as promised—the second most frequent reason given for killing a project.
Missing Questions
Are there more facets the ISACA survey could have explored?
"The question the survey doesn't ask is the point at which they pulled the plug," says Bill Hayduk, president of RTTS, a New York City-based software quality assurance company. "These projects could have been killed at the inception stage, which could make sense," Hayduk asserts. "But if they were killed at the implementation stage, that is very different.
"IT is being driven by business more than it was before the Internet bubble. Talk to CIOs or CTOs: They're all reporting to the business units. Rarely are they undertaking things that the business isn't driving."
Hayduk points out that compliance and governance are not necessarily deemed mission-critical unless mandated by government or industry, or are part of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
"Perhaps [the ISACA survey respondents] are dealing with network policy projects or application security—the kinds of projects that are regularly put on the back burner," he says. "But when they have to have, say, a new trading system that is crucial to the business, that will take priority."
Ernst & Young's Damianides raises another question: "If the business needs changed, why wasn't the project being better evaluated as it went along? The question that arises is, 'Are organizations managing the how of the project?'"
The economy might be another factor. However, in the ISACA survey, the budget cutbacks number came in at less than 1 percent.
"If we were to ask these same questions six months from now, I would expect to see budget cutbacks having a much higher presence due to the economy," says Damianides.
"We're seeing some slowdown in our clients' internal projects," reports Hayduk of RTTS. "But we don't ever see a complete withdrawal of a project in large software development."
What can be extrapolated from the survey numbers is that IT is being driven more directly by business needs, and that the technology organization has to live with the review process, priority changes and early project death. But IT is learning from these experiences.
"This [killing of projects] is an important intermediary step," says Weider of Ministry Health Care. "Many IT organizations like mine are spending a lot of time performing autopsies on dead projects in order to refine our IT project methodology."
The goal? To identify any problem projects quickly before too much time and money is invested in them

The Jewish Midshipmen Club exists to provide a setting within the brigade where midshipmen can embrace their Jewish heritage amongst their peers and where interested mids can learn more about the Jewish faith, practices, and unique perspective their peers may have. All are welcome; the JMC meets in the Levy Center across from the Jewish Chapel every Tuesday evening from 1900-2000. Come join us for weekly pizza night with different themes and MOs occurring on a regular basis.
